So we are 53 days away from holy matrimony and I am praying the time continues to fly by!! Life has been CRAZY the past few weeks. I hate how professors pile on the work when students get back from fall break. I feel like I can finally breathe after two weeks of endless tests and projects. My brain is mush and it's not even November yet!!!
Speaking of November....this girl has a birthday coming up! On November 8th, I will be the big 2-1! Since I don't drink, it won't be different from any other birthday, but I'm still excited. Although, after this birthday, there's no other age to really look forward to. Last year, my mom threw me an AMAZING surprise party (well a halfway surprise party). I accidentally found out about it, but I didn't have the heart to tell her so she still doesn't know that I knew about it. It was amazing though! Needless to say, with the wedding coming up, this year's birthday will be recognized by a small family dinner and maybe a few gifts, which is just fine with me. I'm partied out from the billions of showers for me and for other people. I'm just excited to see what Steven is going to get me. It's a surprise and I had to make a promise not to be nosey, which is REALLY hard for me! November will definitely be an exciting month, filled with showers and last minute preparations for the wedding and for our house.
Steven is continuing to do a wonderful job painting our walls and putting up lights. I'm so proud that he's such a great handy man. Our sweet little house is coming together great and I am happy to say that all of the gifts I received from my first shower, which was A LOT, are all tucked away nice and neatly throughout the house. This past weekend, we bought table lamps and walked around Hobby Lobby (heaven on earth), picking out decor for our walls. Steven was so sweet walking through the store and showing me what he wanted for our walls, and I gotta say, he has pretty good taste. He picked up a sign that said "All because two people fell in love" and wanted it for our bedroom. It was precious. He's the sweetest :)
As time is winding down, and my tongue continues to have the taste of envelope glue, I am trying to enjoy all of the planning and anticipation. I don't want to get so caught up in rushing the wedding along that I forget about the here and now. Steven and I are continuing to grow in our relationship and we are working hard on communicating positively with one another. During this last stressful month, we are trying to make the best of everything and just laugh. He knows how to make me laugh, and boy does that ease the tension of planning a wedding and going to school. We make a pretty good team if I should say so myself :)
