Taking Stock

It’s been almost a year since I last did a ‘taking stock’ post and so I thought it was time to write one again – reflect on what’s going on in this busy and brilliant time of my life. I’m less than 4 weeks away from marrying the most amazing guy and I want to remember it all, forever!

Making: The last of my wedding plans – it all feels SO real and SO exciting! Schedules have been made, dress fittings are underway and so many things keep arriving in the mail!
Cooking: As much as I can in between all the madness. Looking forward to salad season, delicious and so easy!
Drinking: Water. So much water. Trying to keep away a cold.
Reading: Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey. Such an intriguing tale, and fascinating to see into the mind of an older person losing their memory.
Wanting: Everything I see. Waiting for my money to be mine again, once the wedding is over.
Looking: Forward to our Disney honeymoon. Currently researching cameras and camcorders to capture it all.
Playing: A bunch of fun songs, making a pre-wedding playlist.
Wasting: So much time on Pinterest, looking for last-minute wedding ideas I might just be able to pull off.
Wishing: That everyone could get a couple of weeks off work before getting married – the stuff I could get done is unreal!
Enjoying: Everything about this time in the lead up to the wedding – organising, seeing things coming together, getting creative – this is what life is all about.
Waiting: Patiently for Summer to arrive – we need some sunshine, people!
Liking: The inspiration I’m finding in every corner of the web. It keeps me motivated and inspired to keep reaching and dreaming.
Wondering: What it’ll be like to be a Mrs.
Loving: My family and how much a big celebration brings us all together.
Hoping: For good weather come the week of June 8th.
Marvelling: At home quickly my nephew grows up everyday – at 3 and a half, he’s the most entertaining person I know.
Needing: Some time off to relax.
Smelling: Chloe. I’ve chosen it as my wedding fragrance and I love it.
Wearing: Less colour than I’d like. That will change in coming weeks.
Following: Carrie over at Wish Wish Wish. Serious wanderlust.
Noticing: All the flowers. I’ve found a renewed love for blooms.
Knowing: Our wedding day will all fall into place, no matter what happens.
Thinking: A lot. I feel that sleep will soon begin to evade me as w-day gets closer.
Bookmarking: Recipes, recipes, recipes. I need to get back to baking.
Opening: So many parcels.
Giggling: At Episodes, the TV show. So good.
Feeling: Blessed. That I found my guy and we’re choosing to do life together. Officially. And that I have a family to share it with too.
