2 months. 59 days. 1416 hours. 84,960 minutes and I will be a married girl! Ok, I got the 2 months right, but I had some trouble doing the math, so I kind of guessed on the rest. :) I can't believe it's already been 2 months since Cam and I got engaged. Where has the time gone? Maybe it's because it feels like summer lasted 3 weeks, with the weather being bipolar. Anyway, just 2 months away, and Cam and I will be laying in the sands of Maui- as a married couple. The wedding plans are going well and everything is finally coming together. We will be moving to Southern California right after our honeymoon. Yep, you heard me right, we're moving. I am definitely nervous, but so excited at the same time. Luckily, CA is not too far, but it will be a big change for me. The only thing that matters is that I will have my best friend with me. He's got a great opportunity, and it'd be silly not to do this. His family will be very close, which will give me a great chance to get to know them better. However, it all just hasn't hit me yet! I'm sure it will. I know it will. It definitely will.
One step at a time. THE WEDDING. I can't wait for the day to come. It all seems surreal, almost like I've been planning someone else's wedding. It just doesn't seem real. It's like a fairy tale, and I'm finally the princess. My mom has been amazing through the planning! She has been so helpful and so patient with me. Many of you know how crazy planning a wedding can be, and how crazy the bride-to-be can be. I'm truly blessed to have such a mother. I've put it all in such a better perspective, and am more excited for the day, then stressed about each little detail.
Last week we had our engagement pictures taken. It was definitely an adventure in and of itself. We went down to Utah lake, all dressed up and ready to model- when an unexpected disaster came upon us. We were in a swampy field area, where there was an army of mosquitoes! Have you ever tried posing and looking pleasant for 2 hours straight with mosquitos eating you alive on every pour of your body? Yeahhh, not fun. Let me rephrase that, it was pure misery! In between each shot, the photographer was scratching like crazy as Cam and I were smacking bloody mosquitoes off of each other. The best part was jumping into the lake at the end of the shoot in our clothes. It gave us such a relief of all of the bites! Not to mention it was quite fun as well. We left that photo shoot with bumps all over our arms, legs and faces with itching pain. Literally. SO, lets HOPE the photos turn out to our liking. To top off that miserable experience, for the next week, Cam and I scrubbed our legs and arms with aveeno soap, and lathered ourselves with anti-itch creme in the middle of Gloria's Little Italy restaurant. We didn't get much sleep for those few days of recovering. Cam would call me early the next morning saying "Megan! I didn't sleep at all, and my bites are killing me! What should I do?!" Poor kid.
On a different note.. much more positive, I don't think anyone can ever fully prepare for marriage, but I'm trying my best and hoping to succeed at being the best wife I can be!
Today is a great day to say La Vita e Bella. . I'm engaged to my best friend, the most amazing man I've ever met (not to mention I absolutely adore him:).
