Last Hoorah
I don't know how much I'll be writing journal entries. My journaling is going to take a turn and I'm going to start making entries of what happened that particular day. Not many details, no thoughts or emotions involved, just an itemized list of the days activities. Brad and I are reading a book in marriage counseling and they suggest doing this so that at the end of the year when you reflect on the last year and are planning for the next year, you have something to go back and look at. They say to make a top ten of hightlights from that year...I'm definately looking forward to that. I will still journal somewhat, or at least try and do some writing...but I don't know how personal I will be making it or even if it IS personal, how often.
40 days till the wedding. Brad finishes class this week and will move into our townhouse this upcoming week sometime. I have family coming in this weekend and a bridal shower with the women at church. Time is flying by, even though I feel like not quick enough. Don't ask me why I'm wishing my time away...probably because I have so much to look forward to. I should be more nervous than I am, I should be like freaking out right about now because I'm about to commit the rest of my liveable life to one single person to take care of me and love me unconditionally and not get tired of me...talk about opening up your heart to someone and becoming vulnerable...
But I'm not nervous. I know Brad loves me and he actually WANTS to take care of me (holy crap, didn't know that was possible...) and even though he is a little bit nervous about this whole marriage thing, he's hanging in there and doing his absolute best to make me happy. Reading that back sounds like he's doing this unwillingly...but he's not. He truly is just as excited as me (okay, maybe not AS excited as me...because HELLO...but he is excited as well) and anticipating being with me in marriage and as a family.
I gave him his ring this weekend with the promise that I wrote out, he liked it and said I did a great job...I can't wait to see what he got on my rings.
Anyways, survey and then I'm peacin' out.
Oh yea, Brad got more done on his tattoo and I got my nose repeirced. He was going to surprise me, but he can't keep a secret...he is getting my infinity symbol tattoo on his other wrist :) Plus we are getting the hebrew symbol for marriage covenant...working on getting the correct symbol right now though so that we don't look like idiots. Brad just keeps getting better and better, he's my perfect match and I love him so much.
