Jenn said it best in her facebook status today: "Jennifer Martynowycz Sutton is looking forward to March, when people aren't getting married"

I worked like thirty hours in two days.

TWO DAYS.

I came home, fell asleep in the tub, only to startle awake, freaking out wondering the 7 W's as to what the hell just happened.

WHERE AM I?
WHAT TIME IS IT?
AM IN THE TUB?
IS THE DOOR LOCKED?
HOLY SHIT, I'M LATE FOR WORK!

All in a matter of ten seconds.

I remembered I was naked- in the tub- soaking away the stress of the day and that I could remain there as my duties were fufilled for the week. Seven weddings, over. Thank the lord.

That was the hail mary of the week.

Next week- we have five- hopefully I won't die.

I hope not anyway.

So I realized this week that next month Derek and I have been dating an entire year. It just seems perfect. Yeah, we have our moments- but when I lay next to him it just feels right.

Like last night- we had a nice time just simply enjoying each other's company not doing anything but just lying there talking.

I am at peace.

Derek asked his mom "what happened to the xmas lights" when we were sitting outside under the umbrella on the patio last night. What happens is, the guys smoke cigars while his mom and I chat about random stuff. It's a double-date kinda deal that my family just doesn't do. It's weird, but homey and comforting at the same time.

Anywho when he said Christmas lights I immediately thought about the time I was sitting in the living room, sorting xmas lights so my dad could use them oustide. Every year, I sit on the floor, unravel the strings, plug them in, check them for broke bulbs, broken circuts ect and repair them if I can- then rewrap them so he can string them outside. Last november was when Dad and I did this. It was also the same night I decided to tell Derek I had feelings for him. I left my dad to finish up and I went over there to watch a movie.

The rest is history.

I just smiled. It's memories like that which make me happy.

I am better off than most.

I have an amazing job
I have a roof over my head
I have someone who loves me for who I am
I have a family who takes care of me

I really should never complain.
