Can't Sleep

Well its 12:40AM on a "school" night and I can't sleep. For those who know me well, they know that this is a very rare occurrence. I have always been a good sleeper ever since I was a baby. Sleeping through the night at a very young age. And then moving into my elementary days, I could sleep for 12-14 hours a night on average. My friends and relatives would always tease me, telling me that I was in hibernation. To be honest I have always been a little embarrassed of my sleep habits. I feel like Life is Short and I have slept away more than the average person.

But I digress. I always feel like when I can't sleep its an opportunity to get things accomplished. So tonight I am trying to do just that.

This weekend was one for the books. Zach and I's first wedding anniversary! What an achievement. As I was thinking and looking back at this year I was trying to pin point what has made it so successful. The thing is I don't feel "married" as I feel this is always one of the first questions. "What does it feel like to be Married?" It feels like nothing- this I think is the secret to marriage. Now I know after a year I am no expert but hear me out on this point.
Marriage doesn't have a feeling. The thing is I married my best friend, and now being married the bonus is getting to see him every single day. But we never changed out behaviors or attitudes, we just stayed ourselves- but together.

I hope this makes a little bit of sense because being married to Z is so easy I feel that we will make it another 60 years or however long God has in store for us! Now I am not naive enough to think that we won't have our strifes but I hope that we can use those difficult times to pull us together as a better couple and as better individual people.

All I know is that I strongly believe that I am one of the lucky ones. One who actually found a true soul mate- someone who can understand my moods and deal with my crazy amounts of sleeping. Someone who makes me laugh and never makes me cry. Someone who is thoughtful and romantic. And a person who I can literally see myself with in 20, 40 , 60 years. Someone who I can see having children with and someone who will always make me a better person. I love you, Zach because you are all those things.

So here is to you out there- My hope for you is that you too find a person who fulfills you and your soul and if you already have that person I hope you hold on tight!

Happy Anniversary!

Its a little pricey, but worth every penny. So save up so the next ti...

Clear Headed

I am back to blogging. I took a five year hiatus and honestly I have missed the outlet. I enjoy this release, and the ability to share with people (even if it's only 2 of you - hi mom!) I turned 30 this year and I am really focused on becoming and showing my authentic self. I love birthdays because I feel like its always a good time of renewal and to reset goals and visions. I am all about making myself better, and really discovering what is going to make me happy, and thats all about what habits and ideas are going to be sustainable. And this is a great platform to write about all those interesting things, that I am sure other people can relate to. So in this journey for authenticity I really want to strive for a simplistic materialistic approach in my life (this is a pretty new idea for me), but I think it will allow more space for the things that really matter. In an effort to move in that direction I received a little inspiration (which as we know always presents itself in ...

Crazy. Beautiful Life

Image
Well the past few weeks have been crazy! I am really getting into my new role and I must say I feel as if it suites me. Now I am still  "rookie" in every sense of the word, but to be honest I am learning from a great master. There is no better person to help me transition into this role and be the best that I can possibly be. And hey I am still me, I still Love, Love :) and that is what it is all about. When you have the honor of being a part of someone's most special day, a day that they will remember forever it really makes you realize how beautiful love is. We have a busy month ahead and I will try to update you on some of the weddings we do whenever possible because please do not doubt that they will be every bit of the word fabulous. In other news it seems that 2011 is the year of the weddings, Z and I have a lot of dear friends and family getting married this year. We are excited for this fun filled summer and fall and hope to make a lot of great memories along th...
