15 days
so. it's 15 days till the wedding. more than anything i'm excited. lately it's all i think about...surprise surprise. i took my dress to get altered the other day. it was weird wearing it. i've only tried it once since buying it. yet another weird thing...i thought i'd be like that friends episode where you see them all sitting around in wedding dresses but i wasn't. i'm not.
as excited as i am, i'm a bit nervous. it's a pretty big step. i have so many what if's. i'm not unsure nervous...just a bit anxious. i'll have a new name. i will no longer be a part of my family the same way i am now. i will somehow share less with them.
something else i've been trying to get used to is not going to my parents so much. not calling them every day to talk about what's going on in my life and if i'm doing it right. i'm trying to shift that toward ryan, toward making him my rock. don't get me wrong, he is. i've just always had a special relationship with my parents, especially my mom.
15 days before my wedding i am sitting on the couch, pretty darn hairy because i'm going to wax my legs for the wedding and the girl said "the hairier the better!" so i haven't shaved in almost two weeks. ewwwwwww! anyway, i'm sitting on the couch. cuddled up to the cutest puppy ever, thinking about where i will be 15 days from now and how everything will have gone (because it is 10:30 and things will be dying down). i'm trying to anticipate what will go wrong. what will go wrong.
thought change:
we were in virginia this weekend. mom had her retirement ceremony and we were able to be there to celebrate. it was an incredible event. it's wonderful to listen to people honor a parent. it opens your eyes and you see them as a person, not as your parent. i found out things i never knew about her. she is an amazing woman and now i know that i am very much like her in so many ways...which is an incredible blessing because up till this point i have been a mirror image of my father, not something i was necessarily striving for. not that he's a horrible person or anything, there's just some health issues he's passed on to me along with some temper issues. so, good to know more about this amazing woman that is my mentor, my friend, my mother. not to mention it was awesome being in the National Reconnaissance Office building!
thought change:
i am officially and aunt. i met my five week old nephew, shawn michael gregory jr, this weekend and i am not ashamed to tell you i hogged the crap out of holding him! he is precious and beautiful and i am so excited to see what he becomes. for those of you who will be at the wedding...stand by for the most adorable outfit ever! once i get some pictures (i was too busy holding him to take any but melanie got tons!) i will post them so you can see how amazing he is and fall in love with him like i have.
so...15 days. a world of change.
