Poor to-be and my family

Posted in Family, Wedding Plans at 4:07 pm by shawnitalea

My soon to be husband came home from a long day at work with a fresh dinner from McDonald’s (yuck! he needs to stop eating there) hoping to sit in front of his TV and eat uninterrupted.  Sadly, he came in the door and found my whole family sitting in the living room.  My mom in his chair, my youngest sister and her boyfriend playing his XBOX 360, my middle sister and her boyfriend doing homework in the middle of the living room and myself sitting on the couch knitting his socks.  We were all laughing and trying to get a word in while the others where talking, like we do when we all get together.  I truly think that we overwhelm my husband to be with our silliness.  Because there are three girls in my family and three boys in his we have a slightly different dynamic in our families.  It seems that my sisters, mom and I have grown much closer as we all have gotten older.  This is very nice for us, but I think that Jason just sits in awe of us.  He never says much, he swears it is because he can’t get a word in while the four of us are constantly talking. 

Wedding plans are chugging along and while it seems that the days are flying by, at times it feels like it isn’t getting here fast enough.  Which really doesn’t make sense in my mind, time is linear and can’t move at two separate speeds.  So, why am I so messed up? Very good question.  Stress may have a little something to do with it.  Just maybe.
