The past few months have been a considerable improvement to my overall well-being, happiness and contentment.
Not only am I able to recognize when I feel good/happy/content/focused, I feel those things more often.
Some of it has to do with the fact that the weather is so much better. I knew winter affected me, but I guess I didn't realize how much. A couple nice days in March and I felt a million times better.
Now it's May, almost 90 degrees with 70% humidity, and the word I want to use to describe the way this feels is delectable. I live for summer - sweat, ice cream (it's ok because you sweat so much), sunshine, hours lost at a park, smiling people, smiling dogs, pools, the smell of cut grass, music, grilling, bikinis, tan lines, sandals, iced drinks, lush trees. I could go on and on.
This summer is shaping up to be one of the best and one of the most challenging summers of all time.
Here's a list of some of the things on mine and Joe's list
1. Finish pre-marriage counseling
2. Get our engagement pics taken
3. Close on our house & start renovating
4. See John Mayer in concert in Milwaukee! Finally!
5. Have a wedding shower
6. Take dance classes
7. Complete wedding planning!? Ah!
8. Get married! Finally! Hooray!
9. Move into our new house and continue renovating...
10. See Mumford & Sons in Troy
11. Go on our honeymoooooon
And that brings us to Fall. Whoa.
There won't be much time for relaxation, spontaneous excursions or grilling. But this summer is a time of personal preparation. Though we are slightly overwhelmed by wedding planning, and desirous of a relaxing summer, we both know this summer is the one we have to essentially give up so that we can get married and finally start building the life we want together. Therefore our next summer together will be amazing!
I'm hoping to increase my blogging frequency and perhaps strive to grow my readership again. With house renovation likely being forefront in my life after August, I should have plenty to share. Not to mention wedding and honeymoon and concert details. Gosh, summer is the best.
