No place like home

Currently (ok not right this second obviously) I am cleaning the house and packing our bags. We are headed up to Reno for a few days to see my best friend for her birthday and to visit my mom. I cant wait to spend time with my mom, I dont get to go up that often and usually when I do she has to work. This time we are actually going to get to spend some uninterrupted time together. Saturday I get to spend in Tahoe which I haven't been to in years. Hopefully I will have some fun stories and pictures to follow in the next couple days.

Define forever?

I don't think it fully hits you that you are with the person you will be with the rest of your life until after you are married.  You of course think about this before you get married, but the realization does not come to fully sink in for awhile.  Even before I got married I could not imagine spending the rest of my life without Thomas.  When I met him I came alive, life became brighter and suddenly anything was possible.  I knew from very early in our relationship that he was exactly what I never knew I was looking for.  Yet even after he proposed and our wedding date neared I couldn't wrap my mind around forever.  Forever is literally defined as a limitless time.  It is a concept that I was not afraid of just one that I couldn't really fathom. I think what makes it so overwhelming is that you have this vision of how you want to lead your life and you realize that this is the first step of the rest of your life.  That this is the beginning of your forever and you feel you must hit the ground running if you are ever to reach your final destination.  Yet somehow Thomas made limitless possible, he made forever seem vast and small all at the same time.  So here I am at the start of our journey, trying to make every step count.
