I'm not sure why, but lately my days off have been way too lazy for my liking. It's nice to be able to have days off, but when you're home alone all day, you kind of reserve yourself to doing nothing. I baked and worked out yesterday, and am doing laundry today, but I still feel like all i'm doing is sitting on the couch watching TV and on my computer. Granted, "on my computer" means looking up things for the wedding or house reno's, but I still feel like a lazy bum!
Today we have our first marriage prep session, and I'm getting nervous. What if they tell us we will break up soon, then what do we do? Kidding, they wont say that, even if they thought it. I'm looking forward to seeing what we are going to talk about and get up to. Should be interesting to say the least.
Next weekend I have my Moose Jaw wedding shower. Who would EVER have thought that I would one day be having a wedding shower in Moose Jaw. There are going to be a lot of people there - mostly Marilyn's friends, but my mom and a couple of my friends are coming as well. I'm pretty excited to have a get together in Saskatchewan with numerous people there that's all about ME. haha, I feel like I don't know too many people in this province, so it will be a nice change to have people all in one place that I know, and that are there for me. Sounds selfish, but I'm allowed to be every once in a while!
Today's picture is one I took this summer of the new surfboard that Kevin bought for his new boat. The one below this is a picture of Desmond wakeboarding. They both remind me of last summer, and as luck would have it - I had the best time last summer! Vicky and I spent a week out at the lake on the boat.. it was perfect, and I got the best tan! It was also the summer we went to Camp Arbuckle and got engaged. Other not-so-nice things happened, but its best not to think about the bad, and instead concentrate on the good! And I have so much more good in my life.
I just can't wait for it to be summer again. Not only will I be getting married, but summer means no more snow and cold. I don't do cold well. And no, that does not mean I simply need more meat on my bones, it means that I don't do cold well. I'm always cold. always. Coupled with my poor circulation and coordination this girl has trouble in winter! Which is probably why I try to avoid heels in winter at all costs, as cute as they may look... but I digress...
I don't know about everyone else, but I have always wondered what it would have been like to be extremely rich or extremely poor. How different would you be as a person? I almost think the middle class have it best - they (typically) work hard, and appreciate what they earn. They aren't stuck up like the extremely rich, and they aren't like the poor. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have more money, but I feel like the middle class, or even upper middle class is one of the best places to be. Being middle class or working class, if you will, growing up has taught me the value of money and life in general. Money can't buy you happiness, but it sure as hell can make you comfortable enough to find happiness. I've learned that things aren't just given to you, you have to work hard and earn them. I wasn't given a brand new car for my 16th birthday, were you? That said, if I have the money, I'll totally spoil my kids.
