PROGRESS!

My wedding date is set my lovelies! I'm so excited to see how this all plays out. I never actually thought I would have a "big" wedding but I am and I'm so excited to see it become a reality. Its a little terrifying and amazing and overwhelming all at the same time. I'm fortunate enough to have amazing family who are helping with this shindig and it will be lovely.

There is still so much to do! Cake design and choice, food selections, hair, shoes (OF COURSE), appointments with my girls, M's suit and his boys suits which will be gorgeous!, flowers invites, and of course... bachelorette and bachelor parties! I don't want to miss a beat but I don't want to feel nuts either!

Its my dream cake!!

Luckily I seem to be going thru this bout of positive energy and I wan to put it out there in the universe. Its a simple thing really. Nothing major but I realized that in the gran scheme of things, when all is said and done...

We Are All Going to Be OK

Its all kind of simple huh? Believe me when people said this to me in the past I quickly rolled my eyes and thought, "what the hell do you know SMILEY... Ain't no body gonna be OK!", but now I know. At least from my end that we are all seriously going to be OK. 

Some things may require more work, it may require more time but if you want to put that into your day your week you life to find that OK then it will be there for you. Its taken me 20 years, two therapists, two kids, a lot of starts and stops and a good man to get me to this simple philosophy. Its amazing that I'm happy in a simple life, my mom used to say that I was always looking for the next best thing. I'm not looking for that anymore. I have it. I have the best thing. Healthy kids, a good job, a good man, a nice house, a good neighborhood... I feel good. For the first time in a very long time.

So as the wedding plans unfurl and the invites go out and even beyond that day. When I wake up November 2nd married for less than 24 hours, and look at the world around me I will still be OK and so will we all. I don't mean to turn all fluffy on you guys but I felt the need to infect you all with some positivity on this Friday morning so that you could take this rainy day and smile up at the sky, or if you are stuck in traffic and its not going anywhere that at the end of your day that time on the freeway will be behind you. And even those of you out there who are having a hard go of it... look up, reach out, you have friends and loved ones. We'll find a way to make it OK for you because we love you. Because we want you to be OK and happy along side us!

Its all going to be OK... help me help you.

So enjoy your Friday my lovelies... Its a beautiful day :)
