Almost the weekend.

It’s hard for me to believe that it is Thursday already. Really, where did the week go? This past weekend was a big one for me. It was quite an eventful one. We all ventured to Little Rock to eat for my brother’s 26th birthday. Good times with the family, as always. Saturday, I met with the florist again…it occurred to me that I am going to miss wedding planning. I only have 37 days left until I marry the most wonderful person in the world. I also got baptized on Saturday afternoon. I was beyond excited about it. My life, I now know is forever changed. We went on a double date Saturday night to a movie with Erin and Derek who I haven’t seen in forever! I miss my best friends! Luckily, on Sunday after church, we had our wedding shower and I got to see them all AND it was amazing. We have so many people that are supportive and happy for us that it’s seems ridiculous to get down in the dumps about one person who isn’t. I actually feel sorry for them, but that’s for another day when I am feeling like venting on negative things. This is a happy post. A happy post about my soon to be marriage!! I am going to be a wife. I love the thought more than anything. I get to call him my husband. All these little words that seem so irrelevant to someone who isn’t engaged/married, but seem the world to someone who is. I get to be a part of an elite group of people. We both do. The “married people.” And soon, we’ll be the old married couple with kids. Oh how I cannot wait. I don’t have a doubt in my mind that Ryan and I will be married for years and years and years. I don’t have a doubt in my mind that this is what God intended for the both of us. I don’t have a doubt that I know absolutely nothing about being married…how can I? How can I possibly know what it entails when I haven’t actually experienced it? No one can tell you what it is like either. No one can even begin to explain to you the hardships you are going to face and the absolute joy it is going to bring you. Each marriage is different. Everyone should realize that. I have things that I can expect and things that I intend to do during the duration of our marriage, but to actually know anything and everything about it is foolish. This is one of the things we are so excited about. Building our marriage up into something that we as a couple want it to be. Luckily, we aren’t having to wait much longer for it all to happen!
