Hawaii

What's your next "event"?

I'm always motivated by being excited about something else that lies ahead.  For us right now, it's the AHR this weekend and our honeymoon after that.  I know for many of you planning, it's the wedding.  But what else lies ahead that has you excited?  They can be major milestones like babies and marriage, or minor like dinner at a great restaurant this Friday...

    Red Sox game this Friday night in Anaheim.  We're leaving extra early so I can have my beer and hot dog in hand for the 1st pitch!

    My niece is getting married in 6 weeks so it'll be fun to go to a traditional wedding with a reception.

    Finishing Grad school this May, so excited to walk the stage and be done.  Looking forward to a vacation in the Canary islands in November with FI.  Those are the two big events I look forward to.

    Oh geez, I'm counting down by minor milestones right now.

    Work wise - while I'm losing my current position, there's a huge chance that I can stay at the school as Head of Arts if I go back to school and get my Drama Specialist license this summer. So... that's the current plan, go back to school during July (and during the next school year) so I can get a raise and a position of responsibility. I'm terrifed because it means a ton of work for me on top of teaching 3 new classes to me.

    Fun wise - Wedding on Salt Spring on July 30th, then Kauai and Maui and beginning the whole TTC process.

    So... I'll hopefully survive the upcoming year, have a new job, baby (and if we've got that going on, we definitely have to get ourselves a place).

    Wow, so much exciting stuff!  I love Cirque! 

    AKWB - babies scare me.  I can barely feed myself...the possibility of me being responsible for another human life is ... frightening.  :D

    Alyson, lately, I am counting Fridays like they are milestones!

    I'm going to Florida in just over a week to compete at the Wold Championships for Cheerleading.  First time for me, so I'm super excited.  Wish I could see Cirque.  Our tickets are for later in the year

    my minor event is Saturday! I convinced DH to wake up early so we can watch the sunrise. Then I actually get off early from work (usually I work late) so he is going to meet me there, we'll get dinner and head down to the beach to watch the sunset. I don't know why I am so excited but I am - definitely gives me something to look forward to this week!

    In the near future... I am so excited for May and June because I have orders for 6 cakes! It is going to be so fun and challenging at the same time.

    Well we leave next week for Hawaii. That is a big one. 14 days until the wedding. We just starting planning our AHR. 

    Motolynn: Congrats on finishing grad school. I am sure everyone is asking what you will do with all of your free time. It is such a huge relief to be finished. After a month you will think how did I ever fit that in. 

    Kaesha: good luck. I was laid off last week as well. I may have a position with my company and looking at others as well. That unknown is a little stressful.

    Ladies, y'all have some really great stuff coming up.

    Right now we are trying to get as much done as possible on our house before our engagement party in June.  I'm pretty excited for that!

    Baby's scare me too, and I think I'm getting too old to have kids anyway so I'm leaning toword no kids at the moment.  Sure wish we'd have more time of "pretending to try" though. :-)

    Jealous! I'm a New England girl and miss going to Sox games every summer like I used to. Hopefully they'll get it together and win this one..they're starting to make me wonder why I was so excited for baseball season. Have fun!


    I'm looking forward to my wedding this Saturday. And then a trip to the Big Island in June! And, of course, finishing planning our AHR.
