Two of my cousins came out to the house yesterday to work on our AC unit, which has been peeing all over our basement floor. Correction: my cousin's husband and my other cousin's boyfriend came out. They're not even technically family, but they still do these awesome things. Turns out the drain line was damaged so they repaired it and updated it so Man and I can do maintenance on it ourselves.
Another cousin (who is also, legally, not a cousin, but is my aunt's ex-husband's son and chooses to stick around our family, because that's just how great we are!) is coming out next week to work on some plumbing issues we have and install our new dishwasher.
BBS has been busting her hump preparing things for my bridal showers. Yes, showers. As in, plural. And BBS is taking the lead on both of them. She has recruited an aunt or two from each side of the family and they've been working like mad women to ensure I have not one (my wedding), not two (my shower) but three (my second shower) special days.
BBS and hubby threw a 4th of July party yesterday and not only invited Man and I (who were the only ones there who were kidless, since our girls are with their mom) but waited dinner on us (since I had to work) and then raved about the strawberry pretzel salad Man made in which the jello refused to set up, so it was more like strawberry pretzel mush. We had a great time and although the kids struggled with waiting until dark to set off the fireworks, we still got to see some of the prettiest ones!
For the past several weeks, Man has dealt with a grumpy, sleep deprived, over-worked-and-under-paid, confused and weepy Karen and taken it all in stride.
I've really been struggling lately with trying to find a balance between work, home, wedding planning and starting my It Works! business, but with such an awesome family, I know it will all work out. I am so lucky to love so many amazing people!
