Whew!  What a crazy couple of weeks.  I am very excited to say that I am finally feeling like my feet are finding some solid ground.  B and I have been overwhelmed with putting the finishing touches on our house plans and they are FINALLY done!  We will probably be breaking ground the end of October so at least I can put the house thing on the back burner for a little while.

The wedding invitations have been ordered.  Guess there is no backing out now.  (Just kidding!)  Really all that is left is decorating stuff and small details.  I am feeling much more on top of things and relaxed.  I’m just hoping I can keep that relaxed feeling all through the rest of the process.

We have reached the “craft season” in my neck of the woods.  This weekend I will be attending a craft fair with my mom and sister and next weekend my aunt, mom, and I will be traveling to another.  Fall is my favorite season.  I am already planning trips to the orchard and the pumpkin patch in the very near future.  Now if only the temperature would drop a little to make it feel like fall.  It is still fairly warm here and I am more than ready for jacket weather.

B and I coached our first soccer game of the season last Saturday.  We lost 4-1 but we had a great time doing it.  Our kids played their hearts out and I was incredibly proud of them.  I still don’t really enjoy soccer but I love our team. 

My health has been slowly but steadily deteriorating.  When I went off hormone therapy for my endometriosis it was understood this would happen.  The question was how fast it would happen.  Right now it seems it is a slow process which is good.  I am doing my best to take care of myself and keep the decline at a slow pace.  There are medical options but the goal is to get my body back into a normal cycle before adding anymore medications in the mix.  Thank you for all of the well wishes.  Overall my spirits are much better.

There has been a new fuzzy addition to my family in the last week.  Stay tuned for stories later this week.
