Today Nate and I accomplished a lot of almost married people things. We combined bank
accounts and signed up for a credit card and transfer funds. Our associate asked us "are you getting married?" and I said yes and Nate said no. Then he gave us such a funny look. Nate thought he said "are you married?" and we all had a very good laugh for a very long time.Then we bought groceries for our new house together right across from the new Cowboys' stadium. Yes, we live that close to it. Our new rule: Nate is not allowed to boss me in the grocery store. I am in charge of food. I cook. Therefore I decide what to buy. For the next two weeks he's allowed to get whatever he wants. After that . . . too bad, so sad. ; )Then we went to Verizon and transferred my number and now we have our own family plan. : ) And I have a new phone (also a plus).And for the past few days we have been moving in and unpacking and organizing our new life together. That, my friends, is so much fun.
I picked up my wedding band/engagement ring combo . . . I am so excited to wear it. It looks beautiful and Nate did such a wonderful job picking it out.
Second Thing:
I LOVE MY DRESSERS AND NIGHTSTANDS! They are fantastic. I promised photos and I have finally taken a few. I can't wait until they are full. (Excuse the mess, there is literally nothing in this room but junk and dressers. 5 to be exact. Don't ask.)
This one is technically Nate's.
This one is mine. Designed by yours truly. The drawers increase in size as they go down.
One of our matching nightstands. A drawer and two shelves. Made exactly per my requests.
Third Thing:
Did I mention
Nate surprised me with a wonderful Turkish (Persian) area rug for our apartment when he returned from Iraq? Because he did and I absolutely adore it. It is set up in our slightly cramped living room. It makes for cozy living quarters and there's lots of seating for our future guests. It's fun and I don't mind. I so love that the rug makes it look more like a home. It may not look like it matches but the camera obviously doesn't pick up the tiny bit of green in it that ties it all together. The pillows will be recovered and we are hopefully getting slip covers. We have a fire place. It's covered by part of a couch and a lamp but when it's cold I am going to have a fire because that's what I've missed the most when living in the dorms. And then I am going to make s'mores because that is what I love the most when I'm near a fire.
Fourth Thing:This is a congratulatory shout out to my old friend Sarah who I ran in to today at Panda Express. It's been about four years and the only way we keep updated on each others' lives is facebook. Apparently she is three weeks engaged. I am 9 days out from my wedding. She is where I was last July. It's so funny to look back at that time and wonder where all the time went. She'll be apart from her fiance these next long months and I can sympathize (and I know another dear friend of mine can sympathize as well). It sucks but it's well worth the stress. So congratulations Sarah and many blessings.
Fifth Thing:
I realize this might be annoying but today I am 8 days out from the wedding and I finally had a wedding appointment with Nate. Our first one. He said it made it that much more real to meet with our caterer and see everything coming together . . . . I've been at that point for a while now (about 3 weeks) so it's nice that we're both on the same page now. I think he likes living in Arlington and I know he's happy I did a good job finding a great deal on an awesome apartment.
Sixth Thing:
I saved the best for last. Although I am excited that I am getting married in 8 days. I am almost just as (if not more) excited to see lots of my friends and a few of my best friends for the wedding. It's been a long time (for some a very very long time) and I really can't wait. I think just this once it might be okay to say more excited than getting married.
I know there are a lot of things but it's just one of those times where my whole life is changing. And I have the picture to prove it.
