The Final Countdown

Well, here we are...the final few weeks and days until Sam and I will be married in front of our friends, families, and God! We are so excited, but I still do not know that it has truly hit us that we ONLY have 18 days left. In just 11 days, our friends and family begin to arrive! Usually at this point, for just a normal visit from a friend, I would be SO completely impatient and the time could not pass fast enough. I am sure that as we prep our house for the 5 girls that will be staying here, time will begin to fly, but for now, we are just kind of coasting along now that Sam is out of school.

The weather has been horrible so we can't get outside, the details are all worked out, and there is no stress! I always pictured myself being the stressed-out, tense, detail oriented bride. Instead I am sitting here wondering why everyone BUT Sam and I seem stressed. I believe my mom even expressed concern that I wasn't. I suppose it is because I am at peace with the fact that no matter what else happens on July 2nd, the most important thing is that Sam and I show up at the church and exchange vows. Anything else is just the fun, "fluff" for the day. Don't get me wrong, I am REALLY excited for all of that, too, but if it doesn't go exactly as planned, I am okay with it.

And after that day, we go to Mexico for 10 days, to relax and escape the daily grind, and to just enjoy the new chapter we created. An maybe take a cooking class, kayak, snorkel, zip line, sail a boat...you know...the other little things :).
