Week 1

The end of my first week of school this term is coming to an end. I only have one class tomorrow and it is only an hour long. I do not think that is anything to complain about. Although everyone is obviously busy with their own school obligations I was able to meet up with some of my friends this week for a bit. It was nice to be able to catch up, regardless of how long or short the time spent was. I think I was able to sit down and chat with at least six differently people! I should appreciate it now because I know things will become increasingly busy thus resulting in less friend time.

In other news, I have been choosing my words very carefully when I talk to my room mate. Actually, I prefer not to talk to to her at all because it tends to frustrate me. I have been stressed out about this living situation for some time now and only recently have been able to get some peace of mind. I go about my days doing what I need to do and actually doing things I like to do. It is nice. Besides, there are only 5 months left of living with her and then I will not have to deal with this anymore. It is a good "light at the end of the tunnel" situation. And frankly, I think this mindset works for me.

I have also discovered that when I find myself getting overwhelmed with school or life in general, talking about/planning our wedding actually puts my mind at ease. I think it is a great idea to get a head start on all of the planning. That way I can save up and know what needs to be done. I hate rushing! I have been looking at wedding venues that will double as a reception space and wow, it is ridicuously expensive! I'm looking at at least three thousand dollars just for the space (and maybe things like tables, chairs and linens)! That is a scary thought but those places are so beautiful. I have also found someone to take our engagement photos whenever we are ready for that. And it is free! Thank goodness for talented, great friends. I have chosen the wedding colors, member of my bridal party, and the maid of honor. The first dance song has also been chosen as well as the person who will be making our cake. The color theme for the wedding as also been chosen. So really, we are well on our way and I am growing increasingly excited. I am just eager to start our lives together.

Really, I am tired of falling asleep without him next to me. Or not having him here when I need a hug. Or when I want to tell him about something that happened.

I just miss him when he is gone. I guess that is love for you.
