Something like a winter reset

Share

The last three weeks have been relaxing and much needed. One of the best things about being a student again is the long winter breaks. I am certainly going to miss these when they are gone! I have had a chance to recharge, spend some much needed time with my love, and visit with family and friends. I have fully enjoyed every single minute of it. Just staying home, cleaning my house, and preparing meals have never made me so happy. What can I say, it’s the little things. I’ve even been able to fit in some extra workouts which were almost nonexistent during the final weeks of the semester. Nothing like a good sweat session to leave me feeling revitalized and accomplished so I’m grateful for that.

This break has also afforded me the time to do some major wedding overhaul. I had gotten to the point where I felt like I was at a halt, and not really making any progress. It wasn’t until I started going through the little handy dandy planning checklist that I rarely look at, that I realized how much I have actually done. During these past months I haven’t relied much on the wedding planning checklists that are so readily promoted, because I found that I do better working at my own pace and in my own, sometimes chaotic, order. However that being said, it is nice to occasionally go back to it and see that I am on “track” according to whoever puts these lists together.

So anyway, like I was saying, I have been able to put more focus on the wedding while I have this extra free time. Specifically, getting a reception menu drafted, bridesmaid dresses chosen, reviewing stationary, working on floral ideas, and other logistical details. I hope to be able to do a few more things in the next week while I have the luxury to do so. We all know once classes resume this precious time will only be a faint memory. If I could just bottle it up for later I surely would be living the good life.
