LongLazySunday: Family Times!

My longlazysunday was spent flying today. 

I am visiting family and friends for a few days. 

I'm already missing Mr. Pancakes but i am sure i will survive for a few days.

It was definitely an early and long sunday but i hope to enjoy time well spent with the fam before the wedding.

A relaxing time together before all the craziness of the next couple of months leading up to the wedding!

I want to be relaxed enough to enjoy the most amazing day i will spend with my friends and family!

I hope you enjoyed your long lazy sunday!

Life Goes On...

In spite of all the things that are going on health wise for my future hubby and i, we continue to remain solid and move ahead with our lives as best as we can.  The wedding planning continues and building our married life together continues.  We are both pretty faithful people so with a game plan in hand, prayers to God and lots of "i love you's" we will definitely move ahead and hope that our lives will enfold as it may.  Beautifully with loads of health.

On the wedding planning side, we sent out our invitations and some people have already received and responded which is exciting.  On the other hand, i have been busy with many DIY projects and i will be sharing with my wonderful ladies pretty soon.  I am excited about them because they are simple but definitely something that i put a lot of heart into.

Hope everyone has been safe in the snow! Drive slow and take it easy!

Health and Marriage

As the wedding date approaches Mr. Pancakes and I have had several medical things that have come up which has allowed us to discuss issues around health and being married. I am glad that we have had a long engagement because it has allowed us to go through several experiences that we can discuss and deal with accordingly.

When you are about to get married, as females, we tend to think about the wedding, the beautiful house we are going to have, the awesome jobs and vacations and the babies that will look like the both of us. There is plenty of time for all the fantastic thing that will happen between us. I suppose the positives are great because it allows for a euphoric feeling. But these health related events have made me think more what our vows will mean when we say them:

I take you Mr. Pancakes/Mrs. Pancakes to be my (wife/husband),

 to have and to hold from this day forward,

for better or for worse,

for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish;

from this day forward

until death do us part.

It has brought a completely different meaning to the vows we will say to each other, only three months away. I'm humbled in having gone through these experiences just to give me a jolt of reality in the midst of all the excitement of the wedding planning. 

God truly blessed me when he brought Mr. Pancakes into my life.  He continues to be more than supportive and if anything i know now for sure that he is the man of my dreams.
