The low blow.

For the past 48 hours, a world of stress unloaded on me here. Thursday My leadership had told me to “stay flexible”… like I just planned to run to the court house real quick… no turkey heads, I have been planning this wedding for almost 12 months now and you’re telling me to be flexible? Come up with a back up plan? Holy-hell. I was informed Friday that I would not be able to go home on leave in time for my wedding on June 7th… That day I was devastated. Cried for countless hours, and hit a real rock bottom low. Didn’t fall asleep till way late and was up all too early. The following morning I woke up and decided I was going to do what ever I could to get my wedding back. I sent a few emails, and started pushing buttons. Probably opened my mouth more than I should have about what was going on, griping to those who needed to know, those who could talk to the right people. And by 3pm, I was informed that they were able to find a slot for myself AND my better half to fly home in time for our wedding… pshew… Never have I been so relieved.  Now I need to get my rear in gear and go to the gym… Big sand storm hit today. Ick! Take care all!!

Stress Stinks…

So here we are, approaching the final 60 days prior to my wedding and boy oh boy are things getting exciting……………….and stressful………………….and interesting, to say the least. I think we (my mom, mostly) has everything under control, but I can’t help but get stressed out too. I’m still trying to find a balance between work, wedding planning, gym, studying, etc etc etc. Ouch, my head hurts.

I hope to be able to take a new hold of the phrase, “let go, let God.” But I can be such a dang control freak… ha! Oh, the joy of admitting it. I hadn’t been sleeping well for the past 2 ish weeks, so I took a week off from the gym and stuck just to going for a run after work to give myself more time to sleep. It seems to have gotten better and I think I will start at the gym again, tonight. I haven’t done a weigh in in a bit and I am nervous about that too…

Then the big stressor… Today I came to the realization that I might not make it home for my wedding… Depending on weather, days/flights available, etc, my wedding could be a challenge. I have been laughing off this theory for the past 6 months, and now suddenly it has hit me upside the back of the head. And it hurts… All I can do is hope everything lines up accordingly for me. But on a lighter note, I bought the book, Tuesdays with Morrie. WOW. I LOVED it. very interesting, thought provoking, and passionate book. Can’t stop thinking about how good it was. I strongly recommend it to all.Have a wonderful day, friends.~K
