Soon

I am so ready and getting more excited about our vacation/honeymoon, 30 days.  Please come soon, I do not want to wish away days, moments or experiences but I am pretty high strung right now with all that is going on around me.  Mostly work related, some consecutive days off I hope will do great things and be refreshing for me besides make me not want to come back to work. 
Let me tell you about stress, I am and can be a high stress person. I like things done well, the best I can. In order, timely manner and without excuse. Or atleast admit your mistakes instead of dodging them- we are after all human and have our moments.  I get frustrated with myself and am continually working to be better at work, home and all around.  That is my rant.
In short I am ready for a new challenge and a break.

Getting there

I don't get very excited about a lot of things. But some things I can get pretty revved up for.  
1 I am finally beginning to look forward to the cruise. Maybe the need for a getaway and the chance to wear a swimsuit in November is making it look so great. And plus I highly enjoy flying. 
But this weekend I get to have a slumber party with my girlfriends, a person is never to old for a slumber party. I really need the company and love the company.  It truly is a great feeling for me to be surrounded by love by the family and friends who give of it so freely.  How wonderful it will be.

Tia

Aunt: the sister of one's mother or father. http://i.word.com/idictionary/aunt
An aunt is a person who is the sister or sister-in-law of a parent. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt

I have been thinking about the meaning of the word aunt, what it means to be an aunt. One I feel that I am too young to be an aunt, and how different of a feeling is to be an aunt at a distance as opposed to how I was raised with my aunts so nearby. I get to spoil my niece with sweets, clothing, books and toys while I get to spend time with Darren's nephews. Sometimes it's hard, to be so far away from Tegan, I long to hear her babbling, trying to teach her the word tia, as I am sure my name will take awhile longer. I long to connect with my niece the way that I had with my aunts growing up. Even almost two years later it is still hard to swallow the word tia or aunt and I hope to fulfill the role, responsibility and have a great relationship throughout their lives. It's hard when they grow so fast.

Thoughts

Month 2 and no additional weight has been put on. Slightly not surprised, I have increased my weights but my workout schedule has been haphazard the last couple of weeks. I will continue to work on it and creating the balance I have recently let go due to other obligations. I may also need to increase my snack/meal and protein intake.

I have been thinking about a ton of different things, the future, trying to see past all the issues that I never have been surrounded by before. I worry about the things I cannot control because I see others struggling. I wonder about my health decisions, finding a place to call my career. I want to prepare for what is to come but know that what's to come will be faced as it comes our way.
