Life is coming together

First Thing:
I know I talk about my mister a lot. In fact I talk about him in almost every blog post, and he's usually the first thing. I can't promise that I'll ever stop. After all, he's just returned from Iraq, we're getting married, then we'll be newly weds, and well, I'll love him forever so I'm pretty sure I'll never stop. Just so you know.
I really do have the nicest fiance. I decided to change the dishes I registered for at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and so he came with me, because we never actually had the chance to register together. So we were looking at two similar dishes and he thought of something I never would have thought about. How big the space on the plate is for food. One plate looked bigger but had a wider rim. How brilliant is that? I guess it's not that brilliant but it shows how different we are. So we registered for the bigger food space dishes.
When I asked him to pick up some Parmesan cheese for dinner on his way home from the gym, he brought me back four ORANGE Gerbera daisies. My favorite color. I'm not one to gush over flowers but he always seems to bring them when I need them/want them the most (secretly). They make my room smile (especially since he's gone again for the next week).

Second Thing:
There are three weeks of school left. There are exactly two months until the wedding. Nate's been home for a week. Where did the year go? Seriously? Where have these last few months gone? What about these next few weeks and months? How fast are they going to disappear? Although I'm excited about everything my future holds (which currently is a college degree and a husband, no job, as of yet), I'm beginning to be a little sad about all that I am leaving behind. I actually kind of got a little sad when I handed over the reigns to the Academy. Thinking about not watching Gilmore Girls or making breakfast with Lg (or when L.A.T.E. would sit around the living room hanging out, going out for drinks or wings at Applebee's) or buying three bags of trips for the road trip home with Lauren or Bible study with CSF girls or Monday night potlucks. It's kind of surreal, my life right now. I kind of can't believe everything that is going to happen soon or has happened recently. Today we talked about nostalgia in Spanish. Apparently once you start to feel it, you're officially old (according to el profesor). Maybe I'm old already. When did that happen?

Third Thing:
I now like my invitations. I don't hate them. I enjoy them. I also enjoy that my wonderful mother and my wonderful fiance are putting them together for me so I can finish what I need to to graduate. Things are coming together. I feel a little less stressed and it's wonderful. Another thing that is wonderful is early morning breakfasts at Panera with Nate. It's probably my new favorite thing we do. I also calculated that I have 80 pages left to write before I graduate. It's a good thing only about 20 of those are in Spanish. These three weeks will go by all too quick.

Do not apologize for gushing over Nate - it's fantastic! So glad he's back! We need to all get together again!!
I understand it's sad about leaving college. There are still days when I miss it - a lot. But there's so much more ahead!
And who needs a job? Get a job like mine. It just requires a 9 month waiting period (after the wedding, of course). LOL
