It's That Time...!!

There's lots of talk about weddings it seems these days. I am getting to that age where all my friends and peers around me are getting engaged or married. It's kinda fun! I love talking about weddings. And of course I love going to weddings! It's weird though, being at that age where you're getting married and planning out the rest of your life...

Tom and I are at that stage. I mean, sure, we've always talked about getting married, and our future together, and our babies, and our dogs, and all that jazz... but now, now it's like for real talking about it. We've been talking about it in our letters, because he wants to get things figured out so that everything's settled and ready to go when he comes home! It's very exciting! But very scary...we've been talking about moving out to Idaho once I finish school. I'll have a year left after he comes home, so he'll do his generals at the community college, then once I'm done, we're likely going to be moving out to Idaho so he can go to BYU-I and I'll teach out there...it works out really well actually. I was told I probably won't be able to get a job in the midwest right anyway. My advisors have always told me I would probably have to move either south or west and get a couple years of experience there before I could teach in the midwest anyway. I think that sounds kinda shady, but whatever, it works for mine and Tom's plan. :) Actually, one week while we were talking about it, he made the comment about how everything in our lives fall into place together so perfectly, that it's proof to him we were made for each other! Awww, I know, right?! haha :D


So that's the married life, but we've also started talking about our wedding too! We are going to have a regular ring ceremony first right away so that my whole family can come to the wedding. Then later we'll get sealed in the temple. :) I've already started my wedding book! I've got ideas for flowers, center pieces, colors, and all that jazz going! Tom said I could start planning things as long as I understood he has the power to "veto" anything he doesn't like when he comes home. Hahaha...I just hope I can get him to be okay with the color yellow...he hates yellow! Of course that had to be my favorite color...haha. Originally we were going to wait to get married until after Tom finished school, but now we're thinking much much sooner...like shortly after he's home! It's soo weird talking about this! Even though it feels like forever until he comes home to me, it feels like our future is right around the corner! It's crazy to talk about jobs, and getting a house, and planning a wedding! It makes me feel old, like I am officially an adult now!! As long as baby talk stays away for a while, I'll be okay...
