Finally, the last week of gymnastics classes in the Winter session is upon us. The good news? A two week break from work to focus on school, student teaching hours, the move, and wedding planning. The bad news? No paycheck during that time. Ouch.
For preschool classes, I try to make the last class as much fun as possible by swinging on the rope, extra time in the foam pit, choices in jumps and floor course activities. This is sometimes difficult because we have to save time at the end of class to hand out ribbons to each of the students. And little Josie who doesn't want to come up on stage is holding up the rest of the class...

Embarking on a New Journey
I've known for quite awhile that I want to spend the rest of my life with Jim. We fit together like puzzle pieces, perfectly aligned in some areas and each of us compensating where the other is lacking. Like many other couples, Jim and I would like to make our relationship legal at some point. One week ago, Jim asked for my hand in marriage. For those of you interested in all the sappy details, here is the proposal story...
Now reflecting on the past week, I can sum it all up in one word: spectacular. I find myself gazing at my fiance and smiling as I imagine our life together. In reality, not much as actually changed - we've lived together for almost a year. But Jim and I have spent hours discussing our ideal relationship and working to build a perfect partnership, and I know that he is my soul mate. Though we already act like a married couple, pledging our union to one another in front of our closest friends and family will be a significant step in our relationship.
Looking toward the future and preparing for our nuptials, quite frankly I am terrified. Planning a wedding is a monumental task for anyone. For someone with ADD, it seems astronomical. I struggle with remembering to create grocery lists, leave the ones I do write at home, indecisively stare at the rows of cereal choices, inevitably end up buying things I don't need and overlooking obvious staples.
How on earth am I supposed to plan a wedding?!
Join me as I attempt to do just that.
