The days tick down as I stare at that beautiful house that soon will become a home for a new couple. My cheeks tingle at the thought of laying on my pillow, and looking over to see him there beside me, reaching out to stroke my face lovingly as we drift to sleep.
Soon, the living room will be filled with the sounds of him watching Lord of the Rings for the upteenth time while I sit in the office, typing away about some strange, obscure television show that strikes my fancy.
We'll prepare meals and take care of one another. We'll laugh and giggle as much as possible, and fight from time to time. Sometimes, the simplest thing, like squeezing the toothpaste from the wrong end, might lead to a conflict. But, I know we'll get through it.
Today, we went to the courthouse to get our marriage license, and holding those two pieces of paper in my hand just made me blush with excitement at the thought of walking down that aisle in just a few short days. Time ticks away...
I've been so filled with anxiety and fear as the days have ticked away. So much that needed to be done, though, has fallen into place, and I am grateful. Giving it all over to God, I am free, again.
The gown sits in the closet, waiting for the smallest changes before it's perfect for a trip down the aisle. The shoes and hair pieces sit in a box, eager to be shown to the world. The jewelry hides at my mother's eager to be displayed across my neckline. And flowers bloom, prepared to fill my bouquet, a beautiful nosegay of flowing yellow roses and baby's breath. Beautiful.
My breath catches in my throat, and the anxiety turns to anticipation. The fear changes to fascination. It all melts away and becomes this beautiful picture I never thought I'd see. I'm so incredibly blessed.
So, as next Saturday approaches, and plans are finalized and finished, I feel fine. I feel excited and elated. I'm energized and ecstatic. There's a change in the wind, and the months of anguish seem worth it. There's a light at the end of the tunnell, and my life is about to change drastically. But, as I slip on my new clothes, my new title, I'm sure it'll be a wonderful thing.
Sure, there'll be trials, but after four years of being by this man's side, I know a lot of good and bad things about him. We've had time to screw up and to fail, and to succeed and encourage one another. Sure, there's more to come, but the beauty is that there's more to come at both ends of the spectrum, and my heart fills with joy to know that we'll no longer travel over a half hour just to brush the cheek of the one we love.
The kitchen is filled with so many beautiful gifts. We've been so blessed to have been given so much. I'm so excited when I sit in the kitchen and look around, and realize that no young couple I've ever known has ever been so well-prepared. We have so many amazing things. I'm so excited!
Yeah, I know I'm saccarine right now, but I'm excited about the future, and excited that my wedding is almost here. Wedding! Star Wars!!! Squeee!!!!!
Quit doubting us. Have belief.
