New thoughts on REALLY old post

New thoughts on 27 Dresses

So 2 years ago…all I wanted was the day…a day when all eyes would be on me. Now what I want is just to spend the rest of my life with the man I love. I still want to get married before he does, but I don’t mind waiting. I still want everything before, but I want it more now. I want more than ever to sleep next to him and wake up next to him, to make dinner for him and to cuddle up on a couch with him at the end of the night, and do it all over again the next day. I even want all the hard times, the bills and the stupid fights, everything.

I was right to worry about Pennsylvania, but in the end it gave me a new found appreciation for him that I would not have had if he hadn’t gone to school out there. It has been just about 4 years and he’s my best friend in the whole world, and he’s everything I could’ve wished or hoped for.

So in the movie she says that her favorite part of the wedding is when the bride is walking down the aisle and everyone turns to look at her, she likes to look at the groom, because there is such love and affection in his expression. I love it.

So now it is my turn to wait patiently (or as patiently as possible) for everything to happen. But either way, I can say that I’m happy just to have him in my life. Whether it happens in a year or 10 years, it doesn’t matter anymore. All I know is that when it happens I won’t be looking to see how many people are looking at me, or how big and extravagant everything is, I will be looking at him, because his eyes are the only ones that matter to me anymore.

Weekend

This past weekend my cousin Todd got married to a wonderful girl named Jenn. I know they will be extremely happy together. And I wish them the best of luck in their lives together.

My family and I had the pleasure of driving to Hobart and Merriville to witness Todd and Jenn's wedding. Danny and I set out with 3 different sets of directions there..confusing enough i know. We set out fine and we got all the way to Portage then thought we missed the exit so we turned around an got off in Valpo. We got turned around again and ended up in Westville. We ended up going the wrong way so we had to turn around. But eventually we made it to the church we were still about 30 mins early. It was the first Catholic wedding i've ever been to...it was nice. It was a long night but it was a lot o fun.

On Sunday we got up super early to get breakfast and then we got in the hot tub for a few minutes. Before long we had most of the family with us. It was fun to swim around with the family. After the swim it was time to check out and head for home. But first we went to Denny's with Troy, Chad and Meghan. I love my cousins!

So the weekend came to an end and today it is time to get back to reality. Lots of work this week..my only day off being on Wednesday. Good thing is that I get to spend time with Danny : )

Long time...

It has been a very very long time since i have written anything on my blog. So So So much has changed and happened since the last time i wrote. There have been heart breaks and reunions, birthdays and holidays and lots of theater.

To start with, Danny came home from school and got a job somewhere in Michigan and lived with his dad again. But that didn't work out, so he went back to Discount and got his job back there..and since he was in Elkhart he came and lived with us : ). He even has his own room which he likes. We are doing better now than we were before he went to school. Being apart made us appreciate each other so much more than we did. He now has an amazing job at Tom Naquins' working as a Nissan tech. We are beginning to save money so that we can move out, it will be a while but we are gonna get there.

Me..i have been doing ok. School ended more than a month ago and I could not be happier about that! I have only done one play since i did the Halloween show. We did a show called WIT which was all about a woman struggling with ovarian cancer. After the end of that show i finished out the school year. But as soon as the school year ended i began picking up shifts at work. And that has been my life since the end of April. I think i need to adopt my school sleep schedule though, because i am just exhausted. I know i don't work Mon-Fri 8-5 but i do work about 5 or 6 days a week.

I am hoping that this summer i can enjoy the warm weather and be able to hang out with my friends and Danny a lot. Since Danny has his new job i only see him on weekends and almost every other night when i am home. Today is my usual Tuesday double shift, host in the morning and then expo at night. Unfortunately today is a Buy 1 get 1 free Burger...which means our Tinker Tuesday $3.95 is buy 1 get 1 free. Lunch today was INSANE!!! And tonight i am not looking forward to this crazy mess that i will in. It is time for work now...we'll see how i can survive this night!
