First, I get to see these cute faces in just five days!
I can't wait to spend some time with my adorable cousins, Travis and Hayley when they come to Florida this Friday. Their parents are taking them to Disney World for summer vacation, so Ryan and I are making the drive to Orlando to spend a day with them at Cocoa Beach before their Disney adventure begins.
Next, we are leaving on June 21st for beautiful Colorado! During our two weeks there, we will get to celebrate in wedding festivities for Ryan's sister, Jenna, and her soon-to-be husband, Brady. I'm so honored to be a part of the wedding, and I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful in-laws during the pre-wedding fun. I am also quite excited it to wear my pretty, bright bridesmaid dress!!!
On top of Jenna and Brady's wedding, I am thrilled to have time with my own family as well! It will be so amazing to be home with my parents and sister. I love seeing all of their faces when I wake up in the morning, and I can't wait to do some fun things together. I'm hoping that we'll get a hike or lake day in while we're there to enjoy Colorado's great outdoors too :-).
I know that it will be hard to say goodbye to everyone as we return from Colorado- as it always is- but at least I have more to look forward to when we get back. In July, I'm helping to plan a baby shower for my friend, Nicole. Not only will it be fun to find cute baby decorations and gifts for the party; it will also be a way of showering her with support and love before she has her precious baby boy in August!
Though this may be a particularly abundant season of my life with many fun events in the upcoming future, I am blessed to know that God is good all the time. Because of Him, every day can be something to look forward to!
Hello! I stumbled across your blog, as I too, am a coastie wife! We were just married June 4,2011. I moved from my home in Tennessee where I've lived all my life to Boston last week. My hubby is stationed on the cutter Spencer. It's hard, because I've only been here not even a week, and he's already gone again :( Just feels comforting to see that other women are going through the same thing!
ReplyDeleteHeidi~ Thanks so much for your comment, and congrats on your recent marriage! I definitely can empathize with what you're going through right about now. Luckily, my husband isn't gone very much because he works in aviation, but I have another friend whose husband is in 2 months out 2 months on a ship. It's tough. I can't wait to hear more from you! Hang in there!
