Over It

I am not ready for fall, but I am ready to move to Charleston. After a short, but sweet visit from my dad and two youngest brothers it made me miss home. And I feel like I am missing so much of their lives by not being close to home. It breaks my heart not being able to watch my brothers grow up. And it hurts to hear them say that they miss me and wish I could be there cheering them on. Only one more year until we move to Charleston... If not sooner. I cannot wait.

My two weeks was put in at Buffalo Wild Wings, while it was fun at first, I lost respect for management and half the staff that are employed there. It is time to move on with my life and to focus on school and wedding planning.

Speaking of wedding planning, I never knew how much went into planning a wedding. I haven't even booked a venue yet, let alone set a date! I have been compliling a notebook of pictures and articles for ideas for my dress, bridesmaid dresses, ceremony, reception, honeymoon, and much more. I look forward to receiving my bridal magazines each month so I can tear out new pictures and add them to my idea log. I also bought a bunch of colored pencils to sketch out any ideas that come to my head. If I had more time I would be devoting myself to wedding planning. And soon I will. I need to make a decision on how many bridesmaids I will have and how I will ask them! Keep checking back because I will soon be creating a wedding blog on my planning progress as well as any of my DIY projects. I am very excited for this next chapter of my life.

I am still shocked and cannot believe that Adam will be graduating this year. And I thank God everyday that I already know that he is going Subs. I cannot imagine not knowing the fate of my fiance and I until last minute. I guess I will experience some of that once Adam graduates from Nuke school and Prototype. I am hoping we get somewhere tropic, but great thing about the NAVY is... You are always on water. And anyone who knows me, knows that I love my ocean and bodies of water.

As for me I am jealous of all my friends who will be graduating next year (2013). I wish I could be graduating along side of them, but I gave up certain things to follow love. And look where it landed me. Not bad at all. I am happy, but part of me regrets leaving a well established nursing program to chase after love. But love is sacrifice, and sacrifice is love. And I have love.

I also cannot believe that Adam and I have been dating for four and a half  years. We have grown so much since those first few dates in high school. We have both matured and together grown. I am so glad I met him that day in English class. So much has happened in our lives and I am thankful for every thing that has happened along the way. It has truly shaped and guided us, as well as prepared us for a life and future together.

Sayoonara!
