Labor day weekend was quite wonderful, as I spent three long days with my fiance. We stained and built a desk that I can use for design work that is gorgeous. Matching shelves now hold design books and treasured novels. I am grateful that he helped me make a small place of my own.
We also spent a day babysitting the cutest little dog. Next weekend rugby starts and I look forward to watching Jim coach again. It is so nice to see him doing something he loves. I will be busy with thesis work this weekend, but I am hoping to make the next game.
It has been around three months since we have moved in together and I am loving every minute of it.

July

   As the summer nights begin to cool, I realize the beginning of the semester is only a short week away. Where did all of my time go? While I have been busy trying to figure out why I haven't traveled at all this summer, I realize I have more important things to reminisce about.
   And I can definitely say that this summer has been my best yet. Although I have been hassled with long days at work, I came back to a beautiful home every night with my fiance (ahhh my fiance!!!) waiting patiently for me. I am beyond thrilled about our engagement and these two months have been wonderful.
  All I can say is that I look forward to what this school year brings for me, and what this year brings for Jim and me.

  Falling Water was more beautiful than any photograph I have ever seen. The wear of decades shone on the buildings exterior. Although there was no actual "falling water" because of the recent heat wave we have been going through, the full experience was still achieved.
   And now I am back to working most days, rarely having time to spend with my fiance. I fear that my confidence is diminishing as time goes by, as if I am becoming less and less of the girl he desires. We are great together, but I am not up to par with that hard-working, successful girl I usually am. I cannot quite piece together all of thoughts I have on my current state of mind, but I feel worn. But I love him enough to keep going, to keep trying to fulfill all the parts of his life that I should be. Because although I may not be confident in myself, I am confident in the two of us together.
