Remember my post about Today is Life and how I said I need to live in the now? Well, I'm finding it incredibly difficult to do that at the moment! Planning a wedding and planning a life with someone, forces me to think in the future.
My brain is always daydreaming about the colour of flowers for the wedding, how I want to decorate Kyle's house once I'm living there {I actually figured out exactly how I want the office to look like... and a list of Ikea pieces I'd like to get}, what I'm going to do for a job, who will I hang out with, is our wedding going to be pretty?
I realize that it's impossible {for me} to fully live in the present but I don't dwell on the future and the "what if's" as much. I only have 9 months left in Saskatoon and then I'll be living in the country for good. How do I want to spend my last months in the city? Do I want to enjoy my time while it lasts or spend it decorating rooms in my head?
What I want to do before I move....
- Keep creating new pieces of jewelry
- Apply for the Saskatoon Fashion & Design Festival pop-up shop
- Attend SF&DF (get people to buy my jewelry!)
- Spend time family - coffee/tea/eating cake/crafting
- Have baking days with Grandma
- Hang out with friends...(and then strongly encourage them to come visit me all the time in country - we're close to the lake!)
- Go to the Farmer's Market more, go for walks by the river
- DIY projects with friends
- Go to events, network, volunteer
So for the next little while I am going to be focusing on some of these things. Obviously, I will still plan a wedding but I really want to take full advantage of my remaining months as a city girl.
If you have any ideas/advice on things/events I may have missed, feel free to add your ideas below! I always love hearing what others have to say.

This might seem silly, but one of the things I miss the most from living in the city is good coffee. And yes, I am talking about those $5 over-priced drinks from an actual coffee shop....somedays you just need a triple-espresso! :)
