Snow Days

I love snow days. Right now, I'm on the couch with my girls watching The Golden Girls as the snow falls. It looks so beautiful. It is one of the main reasons I love living in New York. I love the fact that we have 4 seasons. I love the snow in winter, I love the new beginnings of life in spring, I love the hot sunshine of summer, and I love the changing leaves of fall. Even the smells that come with each season I love. When Jon talks about moving to Florida, besides the fact I do not want to uproot and leave my family and friends, I don't want to give up my seasons for consistent sunshine. I would miss days like this where it is snowing so hard, with the snow so thick and beautiful covering the ground/trees/and everything.

But I do love days like this. I love being home and relaxing. Granted, I am doing laundry but I don't even mind doing that. Not with the snow looking as beautiful as it does and with being so relaxed.

Oddly lately, Calypso has been very affectionate. She has resumed sleeping in our bed the past week while Malibu sleeps under the bed and in the middle of the night comes to the bed. It is such a struggle to get out of bed in the morning when Malibu is cozy/asleep on my legs while Calypso is sleeping above my head on her pillow with her head resting on my hand, purring. Right now Calypso is laying right up against me and Malibu is on the other side of me on the couch, fast asleep. It is such a happy place. I mean, Calypso who is such a grumpy cat keeps licking my arm. Whatever caused this change, I love!

Well, I'm going to get back to the GG and relaxing. Again.... I LOVE days like this.

Dusting

So I'm sitting in the recliner looking out the window while the apparent dusting is going on. We've easily had 7 inches or more so far. Crazy crazy crazy. Then we are supposedly getting a "paralyzing blizzard" on Thursday-Friday. Lovely. I'm just concerned because my mother's 50th birthday party is on Saturday. When we had Anthony's birthday party, we had an ice storm. My mom's? A blizzard. Go figure.

If I don't have school tomorrow I'm going to take it as a sign from God that I need to finish the laundry and clean the bathroom.

So I just want to say that Jon and I were a little backwards this weekend.... after going to Trisha's wedding all Jon wanted to talk about was wedding wedding wedding wedding.... not that I'm complaining but isn't that supposed to be MY territory?? lol He even went so far as to read aloud bible readings from the book Fr. George gave us (which gave me chills because I've never heard him say the words of my faith before).... anyways, it was nice.

But now comes the time for planning planning planning.... I have the big picture in place but the details are gonna be the death of me. I HATE PLANNING THINGS IN ADVANCE..... seriously, I do. I am a last minute planner and I know, believe me I know, that that type of planning WILL NOT work for a wedding.. I'm trying hard to not procrastinate so its a good thing I have "groomzilla" (he's not really a groomzilla but he's all about planning)......

I love weddings

I finally have some time to relax. I was just reading Dana's blog and it inspired me to write about love and the past few days have been crazy with wedding stuff. One my dearest and best friends, Trisha married her prince charming. Five months ago, I saw another dear best friend of mine, Dana, marry her prince charming. Both were very emotional and satisfying days. It was amazing to see two people that I love dearly marry their perfect match.

Dana and Adam:
Trisha and Kevin:


You can just see the love that radiates from both of these couples. I am so extremely happy for them both. I cannot wait for it to be my turn to marry my prince. I cannot imagine spending my life without Jonathan. The road to where we are has not always been easy but as they say, love endures all. I love Jon with all my heart. I cannot wait to say, "I do" in 154 days. I look so forward to spending the rest of my life with him. He truly is my other half.

Jonathan and I:



154 days... and our 6 year relationship will take the next step as husband and wife :)

Snow day

It was wonderful to have a snow day today. I didn't do a damn thing. The best news I got tonight is that I have a 2 hour delay tomorrow. Maybe, it'll turn into another day?? I hope so.
