Perfect Austin Date

Just home from a perfect "Austin Date" with my soon-to-be hubby...

Rode our bikes to the IMAX theatre for the new Star Trek movie. A GREAT movie...(except for the two teenagers who would NOT stop talking behind us). Don't you think Captain Kirk is SO dreamy?? :-)

Pit stop at Red House on our way home for a glass of wine to wind down.

Beautiful weather. Wonderful company. Spontaneous. Fun.

Thought for My Day

Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.

-Thomas Merton

Girls' Night

I have such great girlfriends!

We had a fun time catching up with one another last night. I realized how much I missed seeing all of them more often...and how lucky I am to have such a beautiful, positive piece in my life!!

The photos are not from last night, but these are some of the girls...

Bullies

Wow, I thought bullies and cliques were left behind, long-ago, in high school. Sadly, this is just not so. It's shocking to find both of these - still - in my adult life. Thankfully, I can choose not to participate.

I choose maturity.

Some Things

I have a bunch of things on my mind and I can't seem to complete a single thought, which leaves my blog empty. Instead of complete thoughts, here are some of the pieces...

~ I am leaving my full-time J.O.B. on May 22. I can't wait!!

~ Gareth and I have sent out (most of the) invitations to our wedding. We went to the post office together two weekends ago. Each of us dropping a handful into the slot. We didn't say a word to each other on the way in. As we were hopping back into the car, Gareth looked over at me and said, "I guess there's no going back now." The truth is, we can't wait!!

~ I am learning about boundaries. I've discovered that setting boundaries is not something I've done very well in my relationships. It is also not something I've done very well in my relationship with work. I'm starting to set them, now. It's awkward, but it is awesome!

~ I had a fantastic weekend with friends. Happy hours, dinners, dancing, live music, fun times! I'm looking forward to another one. High school friends in town, birthdays to celebrate. Kick ass! :-)

~ Gareth and I are learning how to talk with each other. It's pretty awesome. We're still learning, but it's getting easier and better! I knew this guy was good for me!!

~ I love the business I've started with Arbonne. I'm still just getting my feet under me, but every time I think about the products, the people, the rewards, the recognition...it truly amazes me! I am so happy that I listened.

~ I've had one person, a friend in high school, on my mind quite a bit lately. My friend, Mary, tells me that I'm trying to "make amends". The way she said it sounded like she was proud of me. The truth is, I owe the guy an apology. I hope I get a chance to tell him.

~ I went for a walk this morning! It feels good to be active again. I'll hit the gym on Wed and on Fri this week, too. Time to get up off the couch and shake off the funk.
