Wedded Wednesday--We Are Family


Wedded Wednesday is a collaboration
of married bloggers sharing their inspirations,
anecdotes, struggles and thoughts regarding
the amazing union of two separate people, as one.
There has been a lot of we in "family" lately. This past weekend my step-daughter graduated from high school. Needless to say there were a whole bunch of relates in the house. I come from a small family, my husband does not. Even though we have been together several years, all those people still sometimes still overwhelm me. As I looked around the room, I realize this is my family now. When I married Mr. J, I not only obtained the title of wife, but also of daughter-in-law, aunt, great-aunt, etc. I kinda like the new titles and am trying to fit into each of them. Each large family function, I get more comfortable. More comfortable I get, the happier Mr. J is. In a family we may not always be able to choose who our family is, but I am so happy that Mr. J chose me to be apart of his.

I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
