Wow how life has changed so quickly. I know longer go home. I go to Michigan. We are however, very lucky to have Ted's parents home. I do my best to allow myself to enjoy the time spent and knowing that this is my only family now, I'll need to accept that one day. But it's not easy. I miss my family too.
Ted's Mom will have the house stocked for Elle to make it easy on the packing, she has her own nursery and closet filled with clothes, diapers and all of the baby necessities. We're very appreciative of the help. Matt and my Sister get to play house on Friday and babysit Miss Elle while we and Ted's parents attend a very good friend's wedding. Not only did we go to college with him, Teddy has played hockey with him since the 6th grade. He stood up in our wedding..6 long years ago.....
Saturday, I will reunite with my college girlfriends at one my friends weddings. We'll drink, dance and catch up, oh and celebrate the wedding of course. I haven't seen a lot of them since my baby shower last October. We'll also get to see our best pals who now live in New Jersey. This is by far the longest stretch of time we have gone without seeing them. They've only met Elle when she was first born. It's hard living away from your good friends and even more so when you start having a Family.
The sadness is always there but I'm hopeful for a busy, fun weekend.....getting dressed up, having cocktails on a veranda smiling at the newlyweds, while catching up with my girlfriends and talking about babies, work, and life in general.
Let's eat, drink and be married.
xo,
Melissa
