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...
