Tonight, a few different thoughts are on my mind. I have been feeling so blessed lately. I know the holidays just ended so that probably is a huge part of it but I am so thankful with everything that I have and the opportunities I experience daily.
Since we put our wedding date up to March 10th, it has pretty much felt like it is next week which is stressful with the planning stages. I wanted to get as much planning done before school started so I didn't have to worry about most of it and honestly I have done quite well thanks to my WONDERFUL Mother.
The only thing left really is trying to find my perfect photographer. Which really should have been one of the first things I did. I hear this hidden message in the photographer's tone when I call and talk to them:
"MARCH 10TH!?!? That was booked 6 months ago..."
I'll find 'em. The perfect one is out there!
I adore being engaged. I think this time is so fun! Add me to the list of crazies that get a breath of giddiness when they are able to introduce her boy as her fiance. Although the cliche' "it's so hard leaving each other at night" is true--I wouldn't really agree with that being the hardest thing. I think for me it is seeing the other person struggling with different things and not feeling like you are there as much as you could be if you were married. I wish that support system was there in full so we could help each other more. I think you are as close as you can be though, but I know I could do more. Other than that and (FINE, I'll admit) the annoying departure at night--I absolutely love it.
The love you feel from everyone (besides a few in-denial grumps that can't ever be happy for you because they really just want it for themselves) is sensational. It has only reinstated the truth in my head about how incredible my friends and family are.
I love my "new family." and of course the addition to my own. It hit me last week while at SJ's cooking with his brothers (under the direction of his dad--and running into the other room to get the final word/advice from Audrey just in case father was wrong) that I am in such a happy place. This is a lot of what life is about. Amidst the other important things, this is what keeps us going and brings us together. Those happy times! Are we seeking those out? I'm so grateful for my family, soon to be two. My incredible friends that keep me on that straight and narrow but making me laugh my head off along the way. My incredible fiance who takes such good care of me. The atonement and through it, a way back to our Father in Heaven.
Happy Sabbath..which is now Monday..
The girl who did my engagements is awesome, but she goes to BYU-I. She's in Utah a lot because her family lives here. If you get desperate, let me know and I'll put you in touch with her. I do know a lot of photographers in Utah, but I think she is more talented and less awkward.
