Fresh Start

As I said before October is bringing me a Fresh Start!  I feel that I had become a prisoner of my own mind.  After our vacation I feel so free and alive again.  My stress level was very high and always trying to do the right thing meant I was being untrue to myself.  In order to get back to my core I am putting myself first. Going home, yes I still call England home, helped me to see myself.  Hubby and I had a fantastic time and the more time I spend with my Hubby the more time I want to spend with my Hubby.  That is always positive.  I look at our new house as a fresh start and feel so happy here.  It makes me feel like I am home and that can only be positive.

Since moving here I feel stronger and just plain old happy.  Settled and ready to take on the world, well my world anyway!  Sometimes things do not go according to plan and for once I can say I am okay with that.  I used to stress and cry and do everything to make it so, but not anymore. I will not be taken advantage of, I will stand up for myself, no matter how unpopular my decision is, it is in fact my decision and only I have to live with it.

So putting my "mental" past behind me I look forward to good times and Hubby and I have such good times planned.  First up our second Oktobeerfest and it is shaping up to be an Epic event.  Our friends are amazing and Hubby's family is so wonderful and supportive, Hopefully my Family will make it, but I have not heard back from them yet.  That makes me a little sad, but then hopefully they will all make it.  Back to the fun.  We have so much planned.  The food sounds amazing and I am cooking it!!! well Hubby is doing a lot of the meat cooking, but I am doing sides and appetizers.  My Momma in law is bringing potato salad so we will have 2 kinds.  I can't wait for it to get here. (and not because I am tired of cleaning!!)

This week our new couch arrives and it is hopefully going to fit!! ha ha ha we measured before we ordered so hopefully we have a good eye for measurements.  Hubby has finished my pantry, well he just has some trim to install, but for me it is done!  Things are happening here at the house and I love every second of it!  In fact I should be doing stuff right now, but i just had to update the blog.  I feel a new commitment to the blog as well.

OMGosh!  I almost forgot tomorrow is our 9th wedding anniversary and I need to get Hubby a card.  Best run out at lunch and hit up the card store.  Time flies when you are planning a party!  I did get him a gift so I need wrapping paper as well!!!!

So I guess I should be off to do something!

Until next post......
