Relaxation

It is finally here. 8 months later. After spending the end of December of 2011 until mid July basically plagued with asthma attacks and bronchitis and working the whole year and rather intensely the past few months for the wedding, I am getting away.

I don't mean to sound like I have just had a horrible year because the reality is it has been amazing compared to what some others around this world go through but in my personal life next to my parasite this has been a very eventful year. I am thankful though and wouldn't change it for anything. I always learn so much during times like these.

In about 7.5 hours I will be leaving for Michigan. I didn't think I was going to make it up there this year but it somehow worked out. I will get to see Eric's cousin M get married to his beautiful bride and I am so excited for that. We stay basically right on Lake Michigan up there so it is gorgeous views, sand beaches, without salt water, sharks, or jellies and basically all the benefits of the beach without the cons of the beach. It also has some of the most gorgeous sunsets every. Since we are on the east coast of Lake Michigan we get to watch the sunset over the lake and it literally sets right into the lake. Memories are made of this stuff. Seriously.

So up for a few days I should go and when we get back it will be time to hit the ground running with only 58 days left till we get married. This means showers, working like crazy, buying some last minute stuff, and all the other wedding craziness shall ensue. It is so hard to believe sometimes. I feel like just yesterday I met him.

As the wedding gets closer I get more and more little jitters. Being the center of someone's attention just makes me sick to my stomach. Oral Comm in high school was horrible and Oral Comm in college....well that has been non existent.

The butterflies I still get when I think about how lucky I am to marry my best friend still amaze me. We have been through a lot already and I know there will be more to come. We will be following a path that God will set before us step by step but E is the only one I would ever want to do it with!

Well I guess i need to finish some last minute packing and get some rest.
