Mortality

One of my coworkers is having her first day back after 4 (?) months off due to cancer. Honestly, when she left I really didn't think I'd see her back. The type of cancer she was diagnosed with was pretty severe and I think our entire office had the idea that she'd be gone for a very very long time. But, no, after 4 (?) months she's back at it. It's absolutely amazing. Any day it can all be gone. Any day you can get a diagnosis that will turn your life upside down and threaten to take it away. Definitely something to think about. I've been very fortunate so far.

My "Future" Is Almost Here

My whole life my focus has been on 'my future.' Always eager to grow up and become an adult. Well folks, it's almost here! I suppose I should take a step up an define what an 'adult' is to me. I've already got the full time job and the mortgage (and have for 2 years) and I still don't feel like I'm quite there. I am a diehard can't wait to be a mom individual. Okay, even more specific, can't wait to get hitched and be a mom. Luckily, my dear husband to be is right on board with me. AMEN! So happy I didn't end up with someone that I would need to talk into having kids for the same length in time I had to push him to propose. Turns out once he put that ring on my finger he was ready to 'grow up' with me, and I CAN'T WAIT!! I know that my baby craziness has gotten completely out of control but with the wedding in sight I just can't help it. This next year is going to flip my world upside down and I couldn't be happier.
