What a Feeling by Heather Nova
Why is this song for today? Because I am feeling a little lost today. Yes, I went for a run. Yes, I played with my dogs... but I did not have any coffee and it is 1:30PM (perhaps that is why I am feeling a bit off).
I just think that it is absolutely normal in a person's life to wonder if the path they are on is the right path. I think if we did not wonder this, we would not acheive a higher level. A level we might not even know exists until we are standing in front of it.
I needed this song today, I knew it was the right song. This song speaks to me that even though there is this sense of floating around a bit, that I am still here. Any song that can speak through the words and the melody that is unique to the individual is worth listening to.

One Year, Two Months and Eleven Days
Before I began to write this, I asked myself “who would actually be interested in reading this?” Then I thought to myself, any person who has gone through, may go through or is going through all of the events that have occupied every inch of my life to date. So I simply began typing not only as a way to share my adventures with others but also as a way to try to remain sane as the process unfolds of all the tasks that encompass planning a wedding and remodeling a house.
Every day, thus far, during the process has included laughter, sadness, frustration, determination and an “I can do it by myself” along with an “I can’t do it by myself” attitude with the topping on the cake being an unbelievable amount of love and support that you never really appreciate until it is put to the test.
BUT before I jump right into it, I think it is only fair to take a step back. It is important to know how this all started in order to understand the events that are forthcoming. First off, my name is Jess and I am 28 years of age. I met my fiance when I was 19 and we were friends before we started to date and upon dating, I moved in with him almost immediately. Four years later, we purchased our first home {also known as the “fixer-upper”} and two years preceding that, the 'question' was popped and I mark that moment as the happiest day of my life.
I am an avid runner and self proclaimed klutz. My motto is the old adverb that anything that can go wrong will…however, if you try to find humor in it all along with perhaps a zanax and a little concealer for the dark circles, it will all be okay. The above noted may not seem like much information to go off of, but trust me, there will be enough said in future blogs that will make you feel like you just married me!
I leave on this note, planning a wedding is supposed to be fun, but I am sure who ever said that was not redoing their home, working full time, going to school full time AND trying to fit in a daily run and maybe even some snuzzle time.
