More processing letters to the girls:
Just to fill in those ...'s from the Much Ado song:
(We were putting up the song with missing words we couldn't remember...)
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
huh. That's really "encouraging"... heh. Sigh. HAHAHA! I sighed!
Anyway, doing a little processing with me mumsie, which is good. I just want to make sure Erin, that you DON'T feel bad or guilty about ANY of this!!! The wedding was perfectly perfect and lovely, and you and your family and David took such good care of us and made me feel comfortable and at home and taken care of!!! Which must have been quite a feat considering how much you had on your plate! The issues that are coming up are from what I think was trying to fit 2 trips into one - a wedding trip and a girlie trip, and I think we are finding out that it just doesn't work that way... And at the same time I am processing the parts I was sad about, I am also finding all the little blessings! For example: getting to know the guys better, and another one I noticed: I felt like I clicked immediately with everyone, which hasn't always happened every year (sometimes it takes a day or two...), and I want to credit that to how well we have kept in touch this past year! Go us!
I'm also realizing for the future that it may really get even harder for us to have really good girlie trips as family and work responsibilities may start increasing, while money and vacation time off may not... Example: If Katja gets pregnant this fall, she may be at the end of her term, or with a newborn around summer time, which would make it hard for travel.... Not that you shouldn't darling! All blessings! We want more gorgeous Magus babies! just le sigh for reality checks...
Then just for me, if I'm the bride next year, well - we all know the bride is pretty much spread thin between relatives and friends and preparation, so I'm trying to already lower my expectations for next year... sniff.
Are we really going to have to wait till we're 40 before we can start having some fabulous girlie retreats like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii and pajama parties in a ritzy hotel or something? Are the next 10 years going to be more of these wonderful milestone life celebrations but not so much smoosh time? gosh I hope not, but it's definitely one possibility..... sigh.........................................................
