Soon to be Bride

Soon to be bride! 8 more days and counting.

If you have ever been a soon to be bride you know EXACTLY how I’m feeling right now, but maybe not….

Basically it’s a mixture of happy, excited, nervous, giddy, scared, worried, and shocked.

Does that sound about right? Lol

There is NOTHING wrong with it either.

1. I’m a girl
2. My WHOLE life is changing
3. You don’t know what to expect

You dream about your future and who you will marry, how many kids you will have, and where will you live. When your dreams are finally coming real it’s quite scary. Now you are there, in your dreams, and it’s unfolding around you. I am so very glad that Spencer is the one that is right by my side through it all. (Next to my mother of course =])

It’s a new experience, one of the biggest adventures you could ever have and you’re doing it with your best friend!

If you were to look in my mind it would look a little something like this:

I’m getting married =]

I’m getting married =/

I’m getting married =]

I’m getting married =/

I’m getting married =]

Picture the scene in the movie Tangled when she leaves the tower….. Exactly! Lol

It’s normal though, and I have no doubt in my mind that I am doing the right thing but you always are going to go through every situation and make sure its right. Because like I will say a thousand times, it’s a BIG change!

Your emotions are just all over the place from being a girl, making sure everything gets done and you don’t forget something, and remembering people see you different now.

I’ve realized the last one a lot lately, and nothing is wrong with it but I sure never thought it would feel the way it does.

As far as I’ve checked, we have:

1. Temple is booked
2. Family that is can come is coming
3. Photographer is up-to-date
4. We’ve got our apartment ready
5. I’ve got his ring
6. I’ve got the dress
7. We have a car
8. And last but not lease I have a wonderful man to be married to! =]

We do not have:

1. The wedding license, just yet

I think we’ve done pretty well, and I have NOT had a meltdown yet =]

Of course I’ve cried over things but nothing has truly gone wrong for me to worry about.

Yes you hear it right, we have an apartment!

It is small but we love it! And yes there is a pole in the middle of our living room and a weird glass window thing that is between the living room/bedroom BUT we love it. We got a couch for cheap, we have book shelves, a bed, and some kitchen supplies. What we don’t have is internet, and TV/DVD things but its okay.

Moving has been an adventure, and I have received tight muscles to prove it. It’s great that my parents have a van that can fit everything I own! Everything fits pretty nicely in the apartment, except for those random things that you never know where to keep. It’s a great starting place for a newly married couple though.

I get my endowments out tomorrow and I’m pretty darn excited! =] It’s crazy how things just work out when you’re doing what’s right.

One thing I’ve been working on is staying positive and not getting angry through some of the negativity. That’s hard and difficult but someday I will be a PRO! =]
