Working nights and not seeing the LOML is hard.  With only two nights off in-between stretches of two to three nights on with prior engagements, his work, domestic responsibilities (of course I am slacking), playing and caring for our fur babies and all the other adult like activities…………………………………………….  I miss him!  And then when we only have a short while together, there is pressure to get as much as possible done together, which can be stressful.  Especially if you’re planning your wedding.

Earlier tonight we did a “storyboard” of our wedding.  I sat and enjoyed listening to my man paint a beautiful picture of the day we tie the knot.  I giggled as he wrote a list of things on the whiteboard, squinting my eyes to read his left and right handed chicken scratch.  My man never fails to make me laugh.

And now we are on the same page, I think.  I was frantic to book the venue, catering, DJ, etc.  It feels better to know we are on the same page – and I have to get used to the idea of doing life with another individual.  I have a natural streak of independence, which he has never threatened or spoken ill of, but he admires and knows I’m not a damsel in distress.  It’s exciting and different and I am so happy to begin a life with him for forever.

Tonight there were several moments were I caught myself looking and staring at him with my heart so full of love and warmth – and then remembering that shiny thing on my finger and melted just a little bit more.

XOXO
