Ever been so incredibly excited, yet so scared? You're on the edge of all these wonderful things that are about to start in your life, but you have to leave all the wonderful things behind....
The season has come & gone. And while I will be the first to admit the 80+ hour work weeks took a toll on me-- left me exhausted and cranky-- I might miss them... a little. It is hard to believe that the first home game of the season & all the excitement and nervousness was ONLY 5 months ago and now it's officially the off season again. I cannot believe that I am on the verge of packing up all my belongings and moving far, far away from this place...
Normally, every fall, I get a little sad when baseball season ends. How will I make it to spring? When do pitchers & catchers report? UHhh, football season?! But this time, I'm leaving behind my job, my friends & my family and I am moving to Illinois. The decision was easy, but it doesn't make moving any easier. I absolutely dreaded every single day apart from Ryan when he moved, but that was short-term. Now, long-term, I am leaving behind my puppy doggies, my parents and the few good friends I have here, and headed to a place where all I have is Ryan. He's lucky I love him & love spending time with him-- or I'd be dreading ALL the time we will now share, but I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather share my everyday with... lucky me!! I guess it's a good thing I said YES!
Our wedding webpage is up: http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/JulieMaletto&RyanFitzpatrick
... and everything is falling into place. Our wedding party is complete, our reception site is reserved, Ryan's annullment is in the works and I officially scheduled our engagement photo session in Chicago-- very excited about that. (Our photographer was highly recommended by a friend, and once I contacted her I knew she was who we needed for our photos-- so sweet & incredibly talented!)
So besides wedding planning and moving.... I'm officially on the job hunt again. Searching for that career I love, this time in the Chicago-area!! So many changes, so incredibly terrified, so humble, thankful & happy!! I cannot wait to move... I think!
