Miss Cox no more

This may be my last entry as Jennifer Cox. It's kind of sad. haha I've always been Jennifer Cox. As a teacher, your last name IS your name. Miss Cox no more! My students were ready to call me by my new last night. :o) It's going to sound so weird saying my name with my new last name. I refuse to say until it's mine. I can be a little superstitous. I really don't have time to even sit and write this but I often find myself needing a break. This week seems so surreal. It felt like it would never get here and now that it has arrived, it feels like it came too quickly! Not sure if that makes sense to you or not. You'll have to excuse my brain if I'm all over the place in this entry as my mind is racing with a thousand things that I should be doing or that I am trying not to forget.

This is such a bittersweet time for me. It's hard to believe that the years have gone by so quickly. I remember elementary school and here I am ...about to embark on such a fantastic journey with the man that I feel I've loved my entire life. However did I get to be so lucky and blessed? I'm unsure but I definitely don't take any of it for granted. I'm gaining a wonderful family and my parents love Brendan.

The only sad part of this day for me is that my MeMa is not physically in attendance. It breaks my heart that she won't be there. When she passed away, I remember crying and screaming no that it's not supposed to be like this because she's supposed to be there to see me graduate, get married, and have kids. This is a happy time in my life and I know she would be proud and love Brendan. I know her presense will be felt. It's just hard to accept sometimes that she's no longer with us.

Things are non stop as of now getting things completed. One thing I can say for myself that I'm glad I did, was ORGANIZATION! haha I was pretty on top of things so right now, I'm not so incredibly stressed because I know I've done what needs to be done. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that I won't forget anything! That's my biggest fear right now. That I will leave something behind. So word of advise, don't listen to that "you've got time" line, do as much as possible, as soon as possible so when the day comes, you can relax a little more!
