Seven.

Seven months from today....

I will be up early to get my hair & make up done....

I will be with all my girls sharing some laughs...

I will be watching my mom shed tears over her little baby growing up...

I will be too nervous to eat...

I will want everything perfect...

I will be be checking my to-do list many times...

I will more than likely have forgot to pack something...

I will be preparing for a day of smiles...

I will be slipping into a beautiful dress....

I will be sealing my Mr. a sweet letter with a kiss...

I will take my sweet daddy's arm...

I will look at my engagement ring alone on my hand for the last time....

I will walk down the isle to the man that God made specifically for me...

I will become a Mrs.

&& I will live happily ever after.

Seven months until I'm your wife, B.  I can't wait.. xoxo


On another note...

Let's face it.  Life is hard.  Relationships are harder.

We all have our ideas of how the "best way" to handle situations are, and sometimes we are right. But, sometimes, we are wrong. 

I want to get real today with you ladies.  I want to get really real.  

I make mistakes.  ((I know, I know.. hard to believe!  I kid, I kid.))  But yes, I do.  I talk about me and B a lot on the blog.  I showcase our good days.  I post happy pictures of us.  I tell you what sweet things he does.  I brag about what he does for me for no reason at all.

But we have fights.  We argue.  We disagree.  We get feeling hurt.  We say things we don't mean.

But it doesn't change my love for him one bit.  In fact, it makes it grow.  

B and I have had an open, honest policy from the beginning of our relationship.  We don't always agree with what each other says/feels, but we respect it.  We don't put each other down for having a certain thought or feeling a certain way.  We acknowledge that life is hard and marriage is going to be just as hard as a job.  We both have to stay on our toes, keep the love alive, and respect each other's feelings and wishes.  

We have to support one another and boost each other.  We don't downgrade or upset each other purposely with hate in our hearts.  

We may not like each other every single moment of every day.  But we do love each other more when we get things resolved.  The raw honesty is a beautiful thing if handled correctly.  

So, while I may showcase this beautiful couple... remember we have our bad days too.  We are human and fight.  We are also soul mates and work hard at mending the issues.

Love is beautiful.  Love is rewarding.  Love is challenging.  Love can change your world if you let it.
