So it's been awhile since I have blogged at all. To be honest, until I watched "Julie and Julia" this evening, I completely forgot about this blog. So since my last (and only) post, I figured I would jump back on here and provide some updates on where I have been this year.
My previous entry was very depressing, as I was in a not happy time in my life. My relationship with Mr. Wonderful was somewhat rocky and I was unsure of where I was supposed to be going in my life. Since then things have certainly changed. Starting with a wonderful and relaxing summer, visiting with family and friends, and ending in early August with a marriage proposal. We had the most wonderful short engagement of three months and were married on October 30th, 2009. We honeymooned in Atlantic City (Vegas by the beach) and have been loving married life. I have never been so happy in all of my life. There is a level of wholeness now that I have never previously experienced.
Of course life isn't without bumps in the road, and unfortunately just 10 days before our wedding, my husband was let go from his job. Which ordanarily would not have sent us into a frenzy, except for the fact that I was laid off in October of 2008. So the past month has been so stressful for the both of us.
With the holidays upon us and facing not only a holiday where neither of us are working, but it's the first holiday without Nanny. We lost my beloved grandmother (Nanny) in March and this was her favorite time of year. While I am excited for the first married Christmas with my husband, I am somewhat downtrodden due to all the external stresses going on.
I see how my friends are purchasing homes and starting their families, and while I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful step-daughter, I cannot help be envious of the fact that all of my friends are financially succeeding... feeling a bit left out. So here's hoping that the new year will bring jobs for both my husband and I and that our finances will become exponentially more stable.
Happy Holidays!!
