Bachelor/Bachelorette Party at PIB

 

Happy Wedding Week to us!!

Closing on our new home, under contract on our current home, and our Bachelor/Bachelorette party made for one heck of a week!

Our Bachelor/Bachelorette Party was up at Put-in-Bay and we had the best time. Sunny & 80's, being by the water, and sharing this moment with our daughter's and son-in-laws (although we missed Brooke & Alex) was the absolute best. There are moments that catch me off guard and I beam with pride with our daughters and son-in-laws. We are so blessed they are so put together, good, loving, happy, independent, and married. Sitting back watching them talk and laugh with one another, thank you God. Tons of photos captured together, time with them in pre-celebration of becoming a blended family, we love our bonus daughters + son-in-laws. 

Life is a wonderful whirlwind.

The week my name changes. This week I marry my love. 

I LOVE Coming Home!

 

How is it June 5th already? Every time I blink, another week has gone by. I'm so grateful though because I just want to get to our wedding day. 

Weddings, weddings, and more events, I am in busy season and it's going really well. David asks me to text him when I'm coming home so he can start dinner on the grill. I know I say this all the time, but "thank you, Jesus, he is an excellent cook!" 

I am refreshed knowing I get to go home to him. Coming home to the grass freshly mowed and edged, projects accomplished, trees and shrubs trimmed, him on the deck grilling dinner with a fresh haircut and looking all handsome, and I all I have to do is arrive... everything is done. He is always happy, always lavishingly loving and playful, and he enhances my life in every way! I absolutely love coming home to him and our life together.

Last night we tried a new beverage, which is always fun! Snuggling in his arms watching our current favorite show, Blacklist, is an evening routine we enjoy.

My soon-to-be husband is beyond my wildest dreams. How blessed I am to have such a loving Heavenly Father, a magnificent earthly father, and now an extraordinary husband. I am blessed beyond measure. 

Catchphrase

 

We all have habits and well-known phrases we use associated with us.

One of mine has been, "What on earth?!" I didn't realize I would say this until I heard my little Sofia repeating this and I wondered where she picked that up. One day I prattled that off and I caught myself. I guess I do say that a lot.

David's is, "OUTSTANDING!" Said with enthusiasm because he is an enthusiastic person. 

I have another... I know I say it and I know I'm kinda known for saying it, and now I hear others have picked it up and prattle it off... "Absolutely not!" 

Absolutely not means this is a hard no. Said with swift passion, it leaves no room for discussion and crystal clear so there is no room for interpretation, confusion, or question. It is a merciful and a matter of fact term. 

This is my catchphrase.
