Tell me what ya see!

It's been a stressful few weeks for B and myself.  Sunday was the five month mark - our wedding date is looming and there's still so much to do.  Faced with an endless to-do list, we've found ourselves struggling to balance the wedding tasks with our everyday lives.  There's just so, so much going on!

B has finally hit the homestretch and will complete his Masters degree in a few short weeks.  But in the meantime, he has rehearsal for the opera every night, and the show opens at the end of March.  Then there's three concerts that he performs in the week after that, and his Masters Recital is on April 9th. Needless to say, he has a lot to do before graduation day arrives and hasn't had a lot of free time.

Meanwhile, I've had a lot on my plate at work lately, and both of us are struggling with the fact that it's the longest we've gone without seeing each other.  Christmas seems like an eternity ago.  We're both in desperate need of some quality cuddle time!

Sometimes I just feel like I've hit a wall, and apathy kicks in.

Luckily, B and I have a solution for this occasional roadblock.  Have you ever seen the movie Cool Runnings?  (I'm going somewhere with this, I promise).  Whenever one of us is feeling stressed out, overwhelmed, or down on ourselves, the other one says "Look in the mirror and tell me what you see!"





It instantly breaks the tension, we laugh, and get a much-needed boost.  There's just something about knowing that regardless of what you may think of yourself, your fiance thinks you're a badass motha.

Do you ever hit a wall?  How do you handle the stress of balancing wedding planning with your real life? And who here agrees that Cool Runnings is one of the best movies ever?!
