Um, so I am getting married in 47 days. I don’t know where the time went!! It’s been over 15 months since we got engaged and it has gone by so fast. I feel like I have done nothing but plan the wedding in the 15 months. Seriously I feel like I have really not accomplished anything else in life besides that.

Next subject:

I think everyone comes to a point in there life when they realize that life is short and I realized that probably around Ty’s 2nd birthday. (The first birthday he is still a baby, but the 2nd well he is a toddler, running around, speaking well etc.) I remember thinking, what happened? I just had him yesterday?!?!?! When I realized that life is too short and that he’ll be going off to school, getting girl friends, moving out and I knew that I had a short time to spend with him, I mean really, I could die any minute. So I made a promise to spend as much time with him as possible, teach him things and make sure that I raise him the best I can. But I also started to realize (from watching Oprah) that no matter what I want to think, my life is also about me. Even though Ty is the center of my world and he is always first, I have to also make sure my life is great while making his (and Jake’s) amazing. So I came up with a ‘bucket list’ (did anyone see that movie?) a list of things to do before I die. I told someone this and they thought it was kind of morbid, but how are you ever going to accomplish anything you want to do if you don’t know what it is? So I started writing down things and so far it is over 3 pages typed up. But I wrote down every little thing I wanted to do to make sure that I didn’t miss out on anything. And even if I don’t get to do all of it, at least I knew what I wanted to do and tried to do them. I would say that 85% of the things on my list either involve our whole family, or just me and Jake, so it will be fun for everyone. Some of the things on my list:

- Take a photography class
- Teach Ty to read before school
- Go to Disneyland on Christmas
- Be in NYC on new years eve
- Go on the Disney cruise with family
- Make-out under a waterfall : )
- Take a cross country road trip during summer break with family
- Learn a foreign language and go to a country to use it
- Stay in a five star resort
- See at least 10 more Broadway plays in NY
- Throw a surprise party for someone I love

And a lot of other things.
