"5 months to go!"- The Knot

That's what The Knot lets me know when I wake up to my email, which they they have designed to stress me out. Instead, I came to post without stress. Why?  Because with all of this wedding talk, I have failed to mention the most important part of the whole process (thus becoming a hypocrite, as I berated other brides for the very same oversight, but forgiveness is love)- the husband.

HUSBAND.  Crazy, huh?  I'm not old enough for that word.  Of course, you wouldn't think I was old enough for the word "cellulite" either, but that has definitely made a home in my personal word basket.

HUSBAND.  A word that manages to capture so much in two syllables.  Not only that, but looking at Kenny and applying the title makes me feel like I could fly.  And he won't just be a husband, he'll be my husband.  A husband who I completely trust my heart with, more and more each day if that's possible.
Yay.  :)
*if you think that's mushy, just wait for the vows.*
Thinking about that just makes every stress (wedding related , that is) disappear. 
It's like cookies.  There can be a lot that goes into making cookies, including patience while they bake 'cause you can't wait to enjoy the finished product, but after doing your part to prepare them, you get to sit back and relish in the cookies (i.e. marriage).  Okay, maybe that's a loose analogy that needs a little help, but you get the idea.  We're going to have great cookies. 
In FIVE MONTHS.  That's right- just five months from now.  And those will go fast.  I surely understand all the better when people told us to "enjoy being engaged."  The idea is that marriage lasts a lifetime- I'll be waking up to his face for the rest of my life.  But the time to enjoy that so-close-we-can-taste-it-and-are-excited-for-it-yes-but-only-have-a-few-more-months-of-unobserved-single-behavior is coming to a close.  I worry about my laundry alone, take up as much of the bed as I want, and make my own schedule (for the  most part- let's be honest here,we've been dating a long time and do orbit around each other a bit).  SO I am taking the advice of others and enjoying this time.  It only happens once (thank goodness, as I couldn't plan another wedding to save my life). 
Well this future wife must scamper off to do laudry- MINE only!
