Taking the plunge...

My MOH is getting married in just a few days and I wanted to say a few words to her...

Its seems silly how two little words and a small ring can change the rest of your life. Signing your name on the dotted line, knowing that you just created your new family. We've spent our lives remembering the past and planning for our futures but this weekend, just sit back and relish every moment you can because before you know it, it will be next week and you'll be an married woman. I know I've said it before how you lucked out to find such a great man, but in reality, I always thought he was the lucky one to find a person like you!

Best wishes and many happy moments on your journey together!

Salut!

Date Night

One thing the hubby and I started a few months ago was date night. After the wedding it's really easy to have your life just blend all together, errands after dinner, exercise in the evenings, shows, happy hours, etc etc etc. We realized that while we did spend a lot of time together, sometimes the quality is sacrificed and wanted to figure out a way to improve it, hence our date nights.

Last night we had our first date night in about a month. We've spend a great deal of time together this last month with everything that happened, I don't think we really had any real alone time where our minds were together. Our typical pizza at our favorite joint and a movie (the new Batman is really good btw). Nothing special but it was really good time. After the movie I looked at him and told him thank you for one of the best date nights we had in months and for the first in the last three week, I felt very content and happy.

Do you do anything to keep that spark going after the dust has settled from the wedding?

my 300th post...

A year ago today we were traveling to our New Orleans/Carribean Cruise trip. We just got engaged and we barely told a soul. Today, we are married and in NYC, on the 49th floor watching the rain hits the streets of Manhatten. Life has changed soo much that I can't imagine ever being like it was just one year ago. I'm married and though it feels soo different, life before it seems so distant. I'm 100% happy with my life and know it will only get better.

For Christmas, we did the usual, 24th dinner at his uncle's, went to midnight mass (at 1030pm) and opended presents! Then on Christmas morning at his parents. It's like tradition now. This year we brought our little rugrat in his santa outfit to spread a little joy. He even got presents! :)

I'm just so thankful for everything and everyone in my life. My relationships with my friends have grown tremendously and I can't even express how much I love each and every one of them. My relationships with my family and his have developed beyond my wildest dreams. My love for my husband is kinda mushy and gushy and if I didn't know us and saw us on the side of a street, I'd be sick of how in love we are! haha

Anyhow, I wanted to say thank you also to all my readers! Thank you for following me on my little journey through love and life!

Happy Holidays,

Little miss Planner

Yesterday the CEO decided to give us the afternoon and I figured it was a perfect time to get my Hubby's last Christmas Present. I trekked down the Social Security office and made it official... I changed my last name. :)

I took the receipt and put it in a little box had it ready under the tree. Late in the evening I couldn't stand it and gave it to him! He knew I was going to do it but he was still surprised and happy!

I have to admit it was a great feeling. I thought I'd be sad about losing my last name, I think I'll always be the vigilante in my heart and was ready to take this step! I love my husband!

Watercooler chit-chat

I just ran into one of my colleagues whom I don't get a change to chat with that often. He was asking where I'm headed for vacation during the holidays:

Me: We're going to NYC and DC.
HIM: Oh, great, who's we?
Me: My husband and me.
HIM: WAIT, when did you get married?
Me: ~~blushing~~Oh, just a little over a month ago.

heheehehe... I loved it. I just love saying my husband! :)

Shout out...

Happy Birthday to my loving husband! :)

You're the best!

Lyrics

On the search for the most beautiful song written to dance with my soon-to-be husband, I stumbled on words that are linked together in a way that you thought wasn't humanly possible to explain what love is...

Death Cab for Cutie are lovers... For the song Passenger Seat, the piano creates the scenery for lyrics such as these:

when you feel embarrassed then i'll be your pride
when you need directions then i'll be the guide
for all time.
for all time.

On another one of their songs, A Movie Script Ending... I started to choke up. The violin whispering in my ears while words like what is below made my heart warm up, as if they were written for just me and him.

With your hand on my shoulders, a meaningless movement... a moviescript ending,
And the patrons are leaving, leaving.

I'm a sap. I'd admit it. On your search for the right dance song, did you ever stumble onto anything that took your breath away?

Where were you?

I was sitting on his couch watching him make dinner and minding my own business when he said something lame and funny and that is when it hit me,

I LOVE HIM and I'M GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HIM.

I turned bright red and smiled like I've never smiled before and felt this amazing-warm feeling deep inside my gut.

He noticed something about me and asked "what?"

My response, oh nothing whilst thinking to myself,

"I love you, I love you, I love you!"

I smiled and just let a sigh out...and realized, I finally found my home!

Where were you when you realized he/she was the one?
