Holding hands with small fingers

Life is pretty grand right now. I finally decided about a week or 2 ago that I was done being stressed and unhappy and that I need to enjoy the moment. I was right, and it's so refreshing! I've been on cloud 9 ever since. I finish my job on friday. It's bittersweet- like always. I will miss my kids SO MUCH! I've only known them 2 months, but I guess that's all it takes. I've been raising them for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, so really it makes sense. One of my favorite kids- the sweetest, cutest, most fun little boy I've ever met (approprietly named Tony), today was the last day we get to hang out. He doesn't come on thursdays or fridays. So sad!

My dress still isn't finished. I went yesterday for the "final fitting" and it was still too big. I told the girl it was too big of a size in the first place!! I'm even more in love with it now that it fits (mostly). It looks AMAZING on and I'm so excited to wear it!!! I couldn't stop looking in the mirror... it's incredible.

We had some drama this week regarding the groom and his brother and almost kickng him out of the wedding. I was all for it, but it isn't going to happen. (I'm still all for it)

My shower was on sunday, and it was SO fun! I got the most incredible rehearsal bouquet out of it. It looks more like a pillow... pretty incredible.

My parents keep talking about "next week", and I find myself questioning what's happening next week. Am I really getting married "next week"??? This is really happening? It honestly doesn't seem real. It doesn't seem like it will happen next week. It seems like it will be 3 or 4 more months from now. It's so surreal and unreal!
