Times Are Changing

Every once in awhile, I realize how much times have changed.  In my opinion many men have definitely taken on new roles in their lives that were unheard of even just 20 years ago.  They are evolving into wonderful, nurturing, caring creatures and it's amazing to see sometimes.  Many men nowadays have taken on many of the household responsibilities that were once considered women only duties.  They have also become loving, involved fathers.  There is nothing more heartwarming than seeing a dad with his baby and/or kids at the mall, no Mom in sight.  I can only dream that those men say to their wives... "Honey, why don't you take the afternoon for yourself and I'll watch the kids."  

This weekend was wedding overload for me... mostly just flower overload.  I have taken it upon myself, with the help of my Mom, to handcraft every single flower that will be seen on our wedding day.  It's a fairly easy but time consuming task.  It will all be worth it in the end and I couldn't do it without the help of Travis.

Despite the fact that Travis was working from home the majority of the weekend, he still managed to help keep the house clean, fold a load of laundry and walk Nixon, allowing me to completely focus on flowers.  It's amazing to me that he's willing to do these tasks whether asked or not, without complaint.  This is a side of men that I've never known growing up and it's a pleasure to see.  

I feel truly lucky to have a man like this in my life, that I will spend the rest of my life with and look forward to the day that we bring our own children into this world because I know that Travis will be an amazing Dad and I can't wait to see it.

I will continue on with wedding stuff for the rest of the week while Travis is working in Calgary.  I might get to see my Dad tomorrow night for a couple hours.  And I am nervously looking forward to getting my shoulder tattoo touched up on Friday and thankful that Travis took the day off to be there with me.  I will post pictures of the tattoo as soon as I can.

I hope everybody has a great week!
