Finding time to sit and write has been slim lately. Wedding planning is coming along and fun things are happening. However, we have had time to sit and reflect also. New Year's Eve came with hope for a great 2012 but also left 2011 with a sadness. Blake's grandmother, Kathleen, left this earth before the New Year was here. When something like this happens it really makes me catch a deep breath and put things into perspective. Knowing the beauty life holds is amazing but also times make me realize how precious our time here is and what really matters. All the little bickering I love to do with Blake seems so small and pesky and it makes me sad to think about ever spending a second being mad towards him. I hope since 2011 was full of sadness with both of us losing a grandmother than 2012 is full of happiness. Of course it will be a great year since I get to marry my best friend but also I look forward to making memories with everyone I think of a remarkable in my life.

While job searching I have been planning, planning, and planning. I am so excited for August 4, 2012 to be here!!
