Traveling, FINALLY

Hi All-

Here is the weekend update!

I got to FINALLY see the future hubs this weekend, it had been 7 WEEKS, or 49 days since the last time I saw him! WHEW... when you love someone that much it seems like an eternity! But alas, we made it! And in his typical sweet and thoughtful fashion he gently reminded me as I pouted and cried on Thursday of last week when my flight was canceled and rescheduled for the following day (hence boo hooing because of tacking on one more day to the whole time apart thing...) that this was one of the last times we will have to do this before we are married! I think that we have 2 more visits scheduled between NOW and when we are MARRIED!! What? WHAT?!

That brightened my mood in an instant, and also made me more anxious for this time to be over. But patience is a virtue, and it is a lesson that I have become much better at learning over these past two years. The crazy "Winter Storm Q" through a loophole in our plans last week, and Kansas got almost a foot of snow and backed up the tiny airport. No worries, I got there on Friday like I said, though I was supposed to be there Thursday! As luck would have it, though I ended up getting an extra day out of the deal due to all the weather and so many changes in flights, so I was with future hubs for 4 solid days! WIN!

It really is the little things in life that count! We just enjoyed being together, seeing friends, cooking, a date night, a redbox rental, and threw a little premarital counseling in there, and it was magnificent!

:: Side note- if you are not getting married in a church (we are!) and there is no one requiring you to get premarital counseling, you should do it anyways. It it hard sometimes and nerve wracking, but it is SO SO helpful in figuring things out, putting important things into perspective, and for us centering our marriage on God. I really think its a great idea for everyone, and I can already see how it brings future hubs and I closer when we are there. End side note! ::

Since we are on the topic of perspective, I ran across an article today and it was GREAT for brides and putting things into perspective. Here it is:

That is all for now! Oh, that and I get to see him again is only a mere 21 days! How lucky am I?! And to top it all off we are having our first shower/party to kick off our wedding season! Hip hip hooray!
