On the weekends I take time to have fun.
Well, as much “fun” as one can have in the midst of wedding planning. LOL!
It’s actually not that bad. At all. But I feel like my mind is constantly buzzing with wedding stuff in the background. Because there’s always something to still do, something to think about. That’s just how life is right now. And that’s OK. It’s all temporary.
But I do have a birthday coming up.
And an amazing fiancé.
So we had a lovely night out in DC to celebrate. 😃
But it got me thinking…
It’s important to take time to have that fun when you are in the middle of LIFE.
No matter how small it is, or what that means to you. Maybe it’s your favorite show on Netflix and takeout. Maybe it’s an evening walk or morning run. Watching the Sunday game together. Something that connects the two of you.
For us we continue to have date night one night during the week. And, for the most part, we have good chunks of our weekend together.
But you may be thinking “You’re co-habitating! How hard can it be?!?!”
Believe me. With our late school schedules and my private teaching in the evenings (not to mention I’m a lark and he’s a night owl!), sometimes we do have to intentionally carve out that connection time to be “us”. And the weekends are often filled with errand running, various domestic chores, connecting with friends and family, and oh…wedding planning.
Today I spent most of the day catching up on things I had meant to do during the week. And several loads of laundry. And vacuuming (we live with a feline friend). And dusting. Watering the plants. Stuff like that.
But getting to sleep in and enjoy a leisurely brunch? Good times.
This deliciousness was followed by a back/tricep workout. Our “fun times” last night took its toll in the gym today, but that OK. I got it done.
Make time to have fun.
Spend time with people you love.
Do what makes you happy.
