I think I should use this thing more. I found it therapeutic when I used to use it all the time. Even if I knew no one was reading it, it helped getting everything out. It kind of forces you to think things through, I guess.
So the semester is almost over. I cannot wait. There is so much waiting ahead of me, and it's torture to sit and wait for it all! After the semester ends, there's Christmas (of course), then a few days after New Year's, my first internship starts. I'm not sure where I'm being placed, but I'm hoping it's in Alvin. It's an hour away, but I love it there. I kind of want to plant some roots there, and if I intern there, I might just might get hired there. Ben and I have talked about moving somewhere half way between Alvin and La Porte so it's easier to compute. It's just so beautiful there. People call it hickville or whatever, but I loved it. Ben and I are simple people and like the down-home vibe we get from Alvin.
After that, Ben's 26th birthday, then the wedding! I can't wait for the wedding! I can't believe it's almost been a year and a half since he proposed. It was hard, but I'm proud to say that we were engaged for that long. I always felt people doubted us because of our past, but I think we've more than proved ourselves to everyone that did doubt us. It's funny. I always knew we'd end up together. I don't know why it took us so long to do something about it. We wasted so much on other people.
The wedding planning is coming along well. We picked out our flavors and designed the cakes today. We're keeping the groom's cake a secret. It makes it more fun. Everyone expects a Texas flag or something. We're more creative than that! Ben's definitely not that simple. He's a complicated man and likes things to be amazing. I love that about him. He's so ambitious. All I really have left to do is deal with my appearance on the wedding day. It's weird because that's usually the first thing brides think about. "What am I going to do with my hair?" I'm dreading thinking about this, and I'm dreading going to get a trial done even more. I have a lady in mind, and I have her card. I've had it for 3 weeks now, but I can't bring myself to call her. I'll thought about it several times during my days, but I always tell myself I'll do it later...which I don't.
After the wedding, there's the wonderful Disneyworld. I don't know what it is about Disneyworld, but it's just magical. I guess all the Disney movies I watched as a little girl have affected me more than my mother will ever know. Everything there is perfect, everything is taken care of, and every single detail is filled with...wonderful. I'm so glad Ben loved it when we went. He can't wait to go back. I felt like I was being selfish when I came up with the grand idea to go back for our honeymoon, but he was just as pumped as I was. Honestly, I think he just enjoys me being so happy. I know, sounds conceited, but that's really how he is. Impossible, right? Nope! I have the most wonderful man in the world.
I guess that's enough for my first time back. I enjoyed this. I don't have much time to stop and think about anything besides school. It was nice to just reflect and be completely concentrated on my thoughts. I guess that's why so many people keep journals. Except everyone can read this...
