Breaking in new shoes

Over the past few weeks, i have felt like i am on my own. I am in an apt with a great friend, who i never see. Summer is crazy. She works a lot, and when she isn't working she is with her boy. I am not complaining. I like the "silent". I am home alone and I do things my way. I watch the movie i want, and wash the dishes when I want and walk around in my new heels just because I can.
It is nice.

I also am getting use to seeing John more often, but also trying not to get too use to it because there are weeks that i don't see him. I want to get use to having him around all the time because in less than a year, i will be living with him, forever!

that is something that i am still trying to get my head around. i am going to be married to him and i will never be alone again, and i am so excited!


This next year is going to be such an adventure. Living in an apt with a friend, my second year as an ots, planning a wedding, working (hopfully), and then getting married. It is such a big year.



I know i am going to trip and fall...the accomplishment will be made when i stand back up.

364 days to go...

Less than one year. From here on out, I have got to start the planning process more intently. I am so excited. I am so ready for June 11. I got his ring in yesterday and just want to be able to put it on his finger permanently. But one year compared to a life time isn't that long, especially when i have been sharing the last two and a half years with him.

I am amazed at how fast life flies by. Tomorrow is my brother's high school graduation. It was just yesterday that we were playing out in the ditch by our house, gathering tadpoles for pet frogs. He finished school in December, but is finally graduating. Then we have till the middle of August till he leaves for school in Spokane, Washington. That is 2,040 miles or 34 hours from my apt. (Road-trip anyone????) We will be out there the week before school starts to get him settled in and get all the things he needs. I thing that is going to be a fun trip. I have never been to the Northwest of the US. It is going to be a neat experience. I think it will be really good for him too. He will be living in a house with 5 other guys...which will be an experience in itself. Also, attending college is something so new. You are finally out on your own and have to make 90% of your own decisions-especially living that far away. He will do so well though. And i know he will enjoy it. He visited and loved it, and I know God with be with him every step of the way.
