August to September.

It's September first. Already! The more I want time to slow down, the faster it seems to go. I can't believe it's already over. I'm happy to say many things have happened, some changes and progression occured in the month of August! This I am greatful for.

Now that we're heading into September I can only think and dream about the wedding. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, that I have loads of things to do. But in reality I don't. I must say, everything really is falling into place rather nicely. All of the family, mine and Ryan's, are making plans for room and board. I've been talking with Mom and my soon-to-be mother in law more often. The excitement rings in our voices as we make plans for the week before and weekend of the wedding.

There is just so much to look forward too. Having aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, siblings and friends all in one place will be thrilling. Some I haven't seen in a very long time and others I have yet to meet (Ryan's family). Just the idea of it makes my heart happy.

*******************

As crazy as it seems I took a second job at The Child Development Center where my sister works. I'm thinking it will be only 4 days a week and I'll keep my job at the restaurant. (Especially because they just hired me back.)
I'm already telling myself to take one day at a time. And I hope this will get me through. That and vitamins and rest.

Ryan just took a new job as well. We've got our work cut out for us. I think we are prepared for this point in our lives. We want be financially stable and need to be before we move on to the next chapter of our lives.
We know that the desire to be financially stable is going to take work but it's not unrealistic. Think about something hard enough, you will eventually receive. And all though the path to our destination might be a long one we're almost there.

My one gloomy thought right now is the main sacrafice we'll make. Time together. It's going to be difficult seeing Ryan less than I already do. I'll be left to do house chores and bills his first few weeks on the job. I just have to remember it's for the better. Time together will be more precious and appreciated that I can be sure of.

Well, we're going out tonight to make a toast to the new changes, happy days and 37 days til the wedding!

Keep loving.
