Right Now I'm...

Loving - my "new" job.  As much as I loved working with kids everyday and planning lessons, I am loving having a life outside of papers to grade at home, the relief of a stress free Sunday afternoon, not worrying about parent emails/phone calls each week.  Instead I spend my time exercising, working at our new house and planning our wedding.

Reading - blogs about wedding planning, Pinterest posts about wedding planning and, OH online articles about wedding planning.  However, I just finished the latest book in the Pretty Little Liars series by Sara Sheppard.  Guilty pleasure.

Waiting for -  our new home to be ready and to FINALLY move in.  We literally have a handful of things that have to be done, but organizing and scheduling the right people to get there at the right time is a paaaaaain.  

Excited about - the flower girl dress that Emily and I decided on for her uuuuhdorable daughter, Addisun to wear on our wedding day.  I am so happy that she is going to share my special day.  Can't wait to see that beautiful little dress put together with the rest of my bridal party!

Trying to - be available for my teachers.  I am finding myself becoming overwhelmed a little with my new job and trying to schedule myself too far out.  I can feel myself being stretched thin and that can be a nuisance.  I want to help teachers as much as possible, but with required trainings, deadlines for testing and other items on my agenda (NOT set by me), I know that I am truly trying my best to be there for everyone.  I guess it's time to pull out that calendar and get myself in line!

Working on - creating our guest list for the wedding.  It appears we have a lot of friends.  Numbers don't lie friends, numbers don't lie.

Enjoying - the Starbucks giftcards that I got for my birthday and for Christmas.  That once-a-week Friday treat of hot chocolate and classic sausage, egg and cheese sammich reallllly hits the spot.

Using - my Apple devices to get this wedding figured out.  I LOVE the iCloud tab that lets me access pages from my iPad mini to my iPhone.  It's convenient, quick and useful when trying to match colors, styles and other goodies.  Can't imagine doing any of this work without these devices.

Wearing -my super comfy onesie PJ's.  Ya'll, I know I look ridiculous, but the level of comfort is AMAZING.  My toes are warm and toasty all day on this concrete floor.  It's nice to keep the blankets on the back of the couch and the fleece wrapped all around me on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Planning - a night of pampering for my girls and I from a contest that I won during a bridal show in October.  I can't wait to have my favorite gals over for a night of snacks, drinks and relaxation!

Singing - "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry.  I'm really not a Katy Perry fan, but I do love her new single.  Check it out!

Needing - to win the lottery.  I mean, who doesn't?  It's nice to imagine our house being paid off before 30 years.  I'll keep dreaming.

Learning - when to say "No".  I've always been a people pleaser.  It is tough to say "no" when you have friends, co-workers and family in need.  I guess it's not the worst quality to have!

Listening to - House Hunters on HGTV.  It sure makes me appreciate building our own home.

Wishing - that I had raised our boxer Lizzie from a puppy.  She is a hard-headed beast at times.  I love her heart, but her attitude frustrates me fairly often.  Another challenge for us as we move =)

Doing - a check on the weather fairly often.  I have a feeling that this winter is going to cause quite a few 2 hour delays.

Dreaming of - September 26th, duh! ;)
