5 months

Well it's been 5 months since my last post......time flies. In the last 5 months Rion and I have done numerous repairs/updates to the house, obtained a roommate, I graduated from PSU with my masters and we've somehow managed to get this wedding planned. We're down to less then two months until I become Mrs. Hiersche. Everything is coming together, now it's just finishing up the last minute things that i've been putting off, like ordering decorations and finalizing the day of schedule. Up until now I haven't been all that excited, more stressed and anxious then excited. Now I just can't wait!!! Rion and I went to his cousin Karla's wedding this past week and it was so much fun. Ever since then I've been super excited to get this thing going, but also i'm reminding myself to enjoy the moment and not to think too much about the future, but to live in the present. It's definitely easier said then done, but i'm reminding myself that I'll look back on this moment and miss it. Has anyone heard that Tracy Atkins song "your going to miss this"? I heard it today while listening to pandora and thought it was absolutely perfect with how I think about things. Below are the lyrics

She was staring out that window, of that SUV
Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18
She said I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said I was just like you

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her It's a nice place
She says It'll do for now
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says Baby just slow down

'Cause You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
She keeps apologizin'
He says they don't bother me
I've got 2 babies of my own
One's 36, one's 23
Huh, it's hard to believe

But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna miss this
Yeah, you're gonna miss this
