Oh my word.There's been so many things going on and more to come.My DH and I have just come back from a lovely wedding in Philly. I was in the wedding party and having not been in that position in a long while, I had forgotten just how tiring it could be. Thankfully the wedding went off without a hitch and now we are safely home, each sequestered in their own space having some much needed introverted time. I wasn't sure if it was just me but at the wedding there were certain things that I just couldn't help but ask myself. Thankfully another recent bride and co-bridesmaid said that she thought is was just natural seeing as she had just planned her wedding as well. I'm talking about the constant nagging of numbers. Appreciating the beautiful flower arrangements all the while wondering just how much those six foot centerpieces cost or the mind blowing cost of the venue etc.
All the while feeling terrible about this constant running commentary knowing that I would never change anything I had done in my own wedding. My DH pointed out to me that is it most likely the awe of how much people can spend in one day for something, that now a days, doesn't last a lifetime. I'm still not sure but I know one thing. I had an absolutely lovely time and the bride and groom looked happy as could be.
In a little over a week I'll be starting on a new adventure. My DH and I will be leaving for our honeymoon: an awesome two weeks in Austria. Our boy is going to be watched by the grandmas in turn so he will keep his routine and we won't have to board the pets as well. Added bonus. Pictures and things to follow. For now I have to do laundry and all the usual things that need to be done between trips to keep the house in order!
