PKP

Today Mom and Dad came down for a banquet for the Phi Kappa Phi Honors Society. It was lots of fun, and I was really glad they were able to come. It was a super nice . . . sit down dinner, three courses. It was delicious!!! And then afterwards Dan was waiting for me outside with a dozen red roses. It was the best!!! Hahaha, I love that kid so much!!

So domestic :)

Look at this BEAUTIFUL apple pie I made!! To be completely honest, I'm extremely proud of it. Hahahaha, maybe I won't be a failure of a wife after all.

Less than 3 months!

Holy smokes, its kind of crazy to think that in less than 3 months I'll be married . . . It happened so fast. I'd say I didn't really see it coming . . . which would have been true a year ago, but lately I've just known its the right thing to be doing. Marriage however comes with a lot more responsibilities than I've ever had to think about before. I mean, I've only been 20 for about 2 months...my biggest struggle up to this point has been feeding myself . . . and ask anyone who knows me. I'm not that good at it :) hahahahaha, but now there is a lot more to think about. Money being the biggest, housing, food, the future. It can get kind of scary...but as I write this I'm only excited. I'm ready, I'm young, but I'm willing.  This will be a new chapter in my life. Its crazy to think about how life-changing this decision really is. Luckily for me I know I'm making the right one. And I couldn't be happier or more excited!!!

Life is funny. You spend every day, every moment, just trying to make it through. If I can survive this class, if I can survive this semester, if I can make it until the weekend, if I can just get through this assignment, if I can just make it to graduation, if I can just survive until this summer. Life is full of waiting for the next big stage of life to come and greet us. But I don't think any of us are completely prepared when suddenly we realize we've made that switch and our lives will never be the same.

By now everyone has heard the news. The people who needed to have been called, everyone else most likely found out through facebook. And truth is there isn't much to be said on here. I can't explain how I feel, I can't explain how excited I am. But there is one thing I can say. I never ever saw this coming. I never would have expected this last semester. I guess God has this way of pulling us through hell so that when we come out on the other side we can recognize how spectacular and blessed we truly are. I'm so grateful...I'm so excited. I know everything I went through last semester and summer prepared me to be where I am today. And now that I can see the positive outcome, I'm grateful for everything I went through. Yeah it was hard, yeah it totally sucked, but no, I wouldn't change a thing.

Dan...is amazing. Nothing I say will give him the credit he deserves. He puts up with me...I think that says a lot about who he is :P He works crazy hard everyday, he's smart, he has an amazing family. I basically feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I never saw this coming, I never expected a year ago to be where I am today. But I couldn't be happier. I couldn't be more excited, and I couldn't be more in love.
