The Wedding is Almost Here

Well, it's been a very long time since I have blogged. I didn't realize just how long. My life has been a whirlwind lately. Time just slipping away but extremely slow at times too. I just finished my Master's Program. I took my SLLA test to be a Principal and passed. (I was very concerned because the test was so hard) I passed my collective record for my internship. And just finished my last class. It is such a good feeling. When I started this venture 2 and 1/2 years ago I was scared but ready. My kids were grown and I had plenty of time for me. Then Lilly came and Jim got very ill. I have been super busy ever since. Now thats all behind me.

I have been planning for Brittany's wedding. Today is the last day before we journey to Virginia Beach for the ceremony. I have been going crazy making wedding things. I have a secret for Brittany (I'm so excited to show her) BTW, thanks Danielle for all your help! While I'm thanking people: I want to thank my family for supporting me through all my craziness with school, my friends, all of them, for helping me and keeping me sane, and for helping me organize this wedding. It's almost here. I looked back and baby pictures of Brittany and remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. She was turning one in this picture. Lilly looks a lot like her. I am happy that Brittany has found someone to love and loves her and Lilly. But also sad because I know as time goes on I will see her less as she starts her own family. I'm not a greedy person at all, however, I don't want to share Brittany and Lilly on Holidays ( I know I have too, but I don't want to).

I hope everything goes exactly the way Brittany wants it to be for her wedding. We have planned and made things for months now. When the wedding is over, our vacation starts. I get to keep Lilly for the week while Brittany and Sean go on their honeymoon. I am very nervous and excited about that. I have to remember all her medicines and feeding schedules. But I can't wait to be able to sit , relax, and enjoy her company.

When this wedding is over, for the first time in over 2 years I will have nothing to do. My plan is to finally take the painting class I have put off for months. I would also like to work on my to do list posted back in January.

1. I want to go to New York City.
2.  I need to get a pedicure ( apparently that must happen frequently according to one gf)
3.  Now that I have time, I need to clean out my car.
4. Scuba lessons....(still not so sure about that)
Adding to the list:
5. Cake decorating class
6. Decorate the house

I got the pedicure and as a matter of fact will be getting another one today!! I did finally clean out my car! So New York City is tops on the list. Surely I have more things to do than this.

Laps 4 Lilly is coming in September. It's a 5k for Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind. All my friends and family supported us last year. I hope we can do the same or better this year. It's for a great cause and Lilly will be able to use their services, such as summer camp, soon. Laps 4 Lilly Here is the link to our fundraising page. Please join our team or make a donation if you can. You can choose to register for a timed run or walk for fun. Lilly and I will be walking.

Well it's just about time to get up and get moving. Everyone will be here soon. Let the chaos begin!!
