This post is in response to a comment received by a certain someone (you know who you are ;) ). Just in case anyone was left to wonder or doubt...or provided with an opportunity to give me a hard time...
Though there are many wonderful perks to getting married completely unrelated to actually gaining a husband, that's the most important part, by far the best part, and the part that I've been so anxiously waiting for...AND lest I leave my bases uncovered again, not just any husband, but Bryan.
(Now I think it's impossible to avoid getting a little bit mushy here, so be forewarned) Bryan was at first just a friend of a friend, he then became a friend, and before I knew it he was my best friend...I should have known that was when I was going to fall in love with him. Especially after he began to fall in love with me...we took it slow, but every step of the way brought us closer together. I wouldn't trade the past year and a half for anything.
Bryan is everything I could want in a husband (aside from when he pops his wrist, because it drives me crazy!). He's patient and kind and loving and surprises me with flowers and cooks me dinner and compliments me and teaches me things and cherishes me and takes care of me and holds me and cleans and holds my hand and a million other simple gentle caring things...
He's not perfect, who is? As he once told me, he has "weaknesses" (a funny story for another time!), but I am truly blessed. I know I will be a loved and cherished wife. And I know he will be a wonderful father when the time comes in the future. I can't ask for anything more than a worthy Priesthood holder who will bless my home and my family and love and protect our future children.
I'm so excited to marry Bryan and really start our life together. 17 days now I believe! Is that a little better dear critiquer? ;) Happy March! It's going to be a beautiful month :)

March is here! 19 days to go...
In general, April has always been one of my favorite months because of spring, the flowers, general conference, getting closer to the end of school, etc....but the month I've been anticipating for the last 4 and 1/2 months is March! And it's finally here!! I had to call my mom today to let her know that I'm getting married in 19 days :)
Only 19 more days of sharing a tiny fridge with five other people, only 19 more days of not having a dishwasher, only 19 more days of belonging to a singles ward...only 19 more days of calling Bryan my fiance, only 19 more days of sleeping in a twin bed, only 19 more days of living in an apartment with five other girls (that's a lot of hair!)...only 19 more days of having to tell Bryan goodnight and drive home by myself in the dark and cold (the worst part of dating/being engaged)...and the list goes on and on....
The fun thing though is that I have lots of other countdowns getting here even sooner! Only 10 more days until my mom, David, Marshall, and Bridget get here! Only 15 more days until I get to go through the temple! Only 17 more days until my dad, Joanne, Michelle, and Adam get here! Plus all of the little stuff in between.
Life is crazy and hectic and stressful, but at the same time incredibly happy. I am so excited to be getting married. I am extremely blessed by how wonderful Bryan's family is and everything they've done/are doing to help with wedding plans. Life is certainly unexpected, so hard to predict what's around each new bend or in store for each new year. I don't know that I would have pictured this a year+ ago, but I couldn't be more thrilled. Thank goodness for prayer and the love and support of those around me. Bryan, you're amazing and I'm so lucky I get to marry you (in spite of what all your sisters might say ;) ). Now to make it through the next 19 days...
