I simultaneously love and hate change. I can't decide if excitement over something "new" outweighs the feeling of wanting to projectile vomit, whimper, and curl up into the fetal position when change happens.
For now - I'm excited for the new change happening in my life.
I was just offered a position to be an assistant teacher to 2nd graders at a private school right by our house. It's a full-time gig, I love kids...and did I already mention it's *right* by our house? Like, I can throw a pebble from our backyard and hit the school. This means when Jordan is on shift, our poor Luna won't be in her crate for a gazillion hours (which she probably doesn't even realize, because she could literally sleep the day away) but nevertheless, mama can now go home in the middle of the day and play with her...and have lunch with my honey when he's home. Just perfect.
I feel like my dream of becoming an SLP is slowly becoming a reality. This is definitely a step in the right direction (as I'll likely be working with a group of students with 'learning difficulties') and hey...if I can get my feet wet in the school system, that's one less obstacle when I'm actually a certified SLP! Hooray, I say!
In other news, we just came back from our second mini-vacation of the summer in the Keys. We are so blessed! Jordan was picking up lobsters like it was his job while I drove the boat around him in circles, working on a nice shorts tan (kill me now)! It was a great, relaxing, week and we got to meet up with some family down there, too.
I also checked my last big thing off our wedding to-do list this past weekend and met with our rental vendor. They set a dummy table for me so I could physically see how the tables will look at our reception and I love it!
I may or may not have mentioned that we're going for a family-style, Greek-village theme...which means simple. No frou-frou, no muss, no fuss. I have to admit, when I used to visualize my wedding (because come on, which girl doesn't?!) it was not like I want it to be now. Maybe that's because I realized that to have that kind of wedding, my future husband & I would have to sell internal organs to fund it. This vision and version is much more our speed - we're too chill for the fanfare.
I can't wait for these next 9 months to fly by and see my handsome man waiting for me at the altar to commit the rest of his life (mwa-ha-ha) to ME! I am so blessed to have him in my life and I thank God for everything that has lead me to this very moment. +
Here are some pictures of life lately...
