Work/School/Wedding Planning

The title sums up my life right now and I'm loving it. Sure, I would be a but happier if Eric were around but he isn't and I'm not going to fixate on that. Work truly has been my saving grace in striving not to focus on the fact Eric isn't here. I work at least 24 hours a week and am always willing to pick up peoples shifts or extend my own (good practice for Disney?) Right now I get alot of hours to myself as it is. We are down to two cashiers so I'm pretty much the night person and eat, sleep, and breathe work on the weekends (yay for having this Sunday off!!) It's really not a problem with me I need to start saving money and a good work ethic is never bad to have :)
School is in the process of coming to a close for the semester. I will be sad but thankful for a break. :) I plan on taking two online classes this spring while I'm at Disney in the spring. I love o lone classes. When I teach myself things they come MUCH quicker. I wish they weren't so expensive though and the only other con is you don't get to meet cool, interesting ppl like you actually get to do in a classroom setting.
I had my first meeting with mine and Erics wedding planner. This girl is so sweet and I am so honored she is planning it. Right now, my main focus is set a budget. This has been hard. I have had to really think about wants and needs, what's doable, and what's not really imperative. Basically, in the long run will it matter if "fill in the blank" was part of our wedding decor etc. I have already loved this journey :) the other day I told Eric we needed to go ahead and set a budget and his response was , "yes we do...how do we do that...?" I chuckled and shot him a text back teasing that we should ask Dave Ramsey.
I'm so thankful for modern technology so I can still keep in touch with my wonderful fiancé and have precious moments with him. I know I say it every post but I feel like this experience has grown and matured us so much, and also ha proven to us the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder", is indeed true. Being apart give you a much deeper appreciation for the blessings you have in your life. I hope I never take Eric for granted but if I ever do I hope I remember back to this experience and how much he truly does mean to me. I try to tell him that everyday. I so yearn to want to he the wife to him God would have me to be :) I can't wait to see where He takes us on this wonderful journey. So much has been wonderful already and it's ONLY BEGINNING!
Well back to work :)
