I can’t believe this year is now half way over. Where has 2009 gone? It honestly feels to me like it has been going way too fast and way too slow at the same time. Could be because I want to savor all the moments I can as I go through the process of planning both my wedding with David and our lives together. Now is the time when you think about all the things in a more serious light. This isn’t the time to think in hopes and dreams… reality is setting in fast!

I need to go with David soon to get our marriage license. That will be one more thing off the list; one out of the million more things that we’ve suddenly realized we need to do.

Even with just 101 days to go till the wedding, some things still seem like a far off thought instead of a rapidly approaching reality. I usually realize how much of a reality it is when the costs starts piling up for the little things. Do we really need wedding favors? Seriously?

Thank God for the major things being done. Our venue is taken care of, my dress is bought and will be altered tomorrow, and we have a place to live. There’s a tree on our place to live, but it’s still there. *sigh*

I’m really looking forward to this three day weekend. Just a few days after that I’ll also have Campmeeting to enjoy. This job can be rather stressful when the boss is here. When he’s not, things go a lot smoother and we have fun as well as work.

Hopefully David and I along with our parents can get everything we need to do done in a timely manner. I hate leaving things last minute, and even though the wedding is still three months away, I can’t help but panic at times when I think about how fast three months can go by in wedding time.

That on top of starting my teaching degree will be hectic. But honestly, I couldn’t think of a better time of my life to be doing exactly what I’m doing now. I believe I’m finally ready for this.

My mom and I were talking about maturity last night. The difference in a person’s maturity in just a years time, even a few months, is amazing. We really do reach our final maturity (at least we’re supposed to. Some never mature at all) at age 25. I think that things are finally set in my mind. I’m a grown woman who is getting married and finally ready to start working on a real career.

Wish me luck! It will be an adventure, for sure!
