Wedding Vent

23 days! Wow, people keep asking if I am nervous. Not really, just excited. All of our plans are slowly coming together. I finally got around to making a to do list, now if I could just find the list it would be great. Christmas was good. I really felt the void not being with all of my children, but I understand how important it was for Larry to be with his family. I guess they spend every other Christmas together so next year will be different. Larry and I are both going to have to make compromises and just start our own traditions. I also need to realise that the older the kids get the harder it will be to spend Christmas with them. Larry and I are great. I love him more and more each day. I cant wait to be Mrs. Kratochvil. Everything with him just feels right. I will probably be able to blog more after the wedding. My brain is pretty preoccupied with oraganza and bows etc......

Traxlers

Almost a month since I posted here. It is amazing how quickly life goes by. My life is pretty good right now. I am still happily in love with Larry. We just keep evolving into more of an us and we instead of a he and she. My girls are good moving right along through high school. They often get lazy(as do I) but I try to stay up on assignments, homework etc. A couple weeks ago we went to our friends ranch, we had a great time above are a few pictures. This weekend we are going to KC to see Larrys brother, Terry, and his family. I will post pictures next week. Until then........

Labor Day BBQ

We had our first official (as a couple) BBQ at Larrys house on Monday. We had a great time. I met Larry's sister and brother in law, my sister and her kids came, many of Larry's friends were there. Everyone had a good time, ate good food and had fab conversation.

I was so proud of Larry. He is such a gracious host. I am really looking forward to more entertaining with him. We work well together. My dad and his wife will be the next people we have over. They will be here on Saturday. I can't wait. I miss them soooo much. The icing on the cake is that get to meeet the man I love!

Trying to Blog More

Larry informed me it was 20 days between postings. Apparently that is toooo long. I am going to try to post more. I think he just likes to read all the nice things I say about him when I blog. Maybe he could reciprocate! We had a great conversation last night. There are so many things to discuss when you are seeing a future in your relationship. Being on the same page or understanding what page your partner is on is sooo important. Some of the things I ask about are a little uncomfortable for Larry, but he graceiously conversates with me. Loving me throught it all. He does'nt ask the same questions of me. I'm not sure if he jsut does'nt think about it or if I just ask first and cover all the bases. My big fear is that when he does start asking questions of me I won't have all the answers. I know i'll have answers, but right answers???? I am really excited about the direction this relationship is going. Larry is my forever!

Life Changes quickly, Just three weeks ago the kids and I were in the midst of summer. Enjoying lazy days and warm summer nights. We were involved with church and youth group activites, getting BBQ burns and shopping for school clothes........ Well in a matter of weeks that has turned into rushed mornings, homework, ROTC activities, football games etc..... My girls are Marines! WOW, Lonnje seems more excited about it than KiKi, she goes on and on about Gunner this and Epps that. I am happy for her. Kassadee has embraced the French language, she is just as at home with her Au Revoir, and Bon Saus as she is with Good bye and Good Afternoon. I am still in Love, I guess I should establish that I will stay in love forever, thats my plan. I love my time with Larry. His arms are my new comfy sweater. In his arms is where I am most content. Looking at his face is my favorite pastime. His lips are my new candy. I adore him. So other than Love and homework there is not much to say. We are happily trudging along. Garrett too. Oh yeah, My dad is coming next week. I know he'll love Larry too.

Happiness Rocks!

My goodness I am happy when I am with Larry. Just how happy I had no idea until he had to leave town for 5 days for the Nazarene KC District Assembly. We have been spending an amazing amout of time together and the time we spend for me is amazing. I know I said this in previous posts but he is my lazy Sunday afternoon. My comfort zone. God's hand is definately in this relationship. A Relationship, that is what we have, for me it has been so long, for him this is a first, never anything this serious or long term. WE both have baggage, but two entirely different sets. I sent pictures to my best friend, she said"Wow, you look great" I ran into a friend in the market she said"Whats going on with you, you look wonderful!" Well, I have to say Larry is what is going on with me., I have to say Thank you Larry for putting a sparkle in my eyes, a bounce in my step, love in my heart. For building with me a relationship with a firm foundation of Love and Trust~Friendship and Respect~Comfort and Stability. Thank you for bringing out the best in me, for seeing what's right with me, for putting up with what's wrong with me. Thank you for loving my kids and wanting them to be a part of your world. For considering their feelings and wanting happiness for them. Thank you for giving me the confidence to me, baggage, warts, scars, princess moments and all. Thank you for being the man that for the first time in my life, makes me see my future clearly without fear and worry. Thank you for being my incentive too. I love everything you are!

Status Change

So I'm at Larry's house and I see that he has changed his relationship status on his Facebook page to "IN A RELATIONSHIP". wow. That makes me "IN A RELATIONSHIP" WOW. I am soooo ok with this. I can't wait for all the people I love to meet him. He's Great, now the fact that he calls himself The Great One, has nothing to do with me saying that, as a matter of fact, I dont want him to know I said he was great because it will go straight to his head. So let me change that, he is extremely acceptable. He's smart, and funny, and he gets me which in itself is amazing. Whats a girl to do, i'll tell you. I'm going to enjoy every minute of every minute I get to spend with him. I'm going to keep being happy, and keep trying to make him happy and drive all the miserable people who think all our happiness in annoying MAD! I might even get him to kiss me one day.
