In a couple of short weeks, I will be experiencing one of the greatest days of my life thus far. In some ways I have been beyond ready for this for so long, and I can't believe it's finally here! And in some other ways, I really can't believe that this is my life right now. I mean-wasn't I just starting high school with early morning band and soccer practices and spending most of my weekends traveling to my soccer games or sleeping in until 11am?
I hit a wave of nostalgia a couple weeks ago when I saw that my fave Dashboard Confessional was going back on tour (for the record, I was never an "emo" kid-I merely just loved the style of the acoustics and would seriously play those CDs over and over and over again in my CD player as I was dressed in my American Eagle polo and Hollister jeans) and was overjoyed until I saw that they were playing here over July 4 weekend-which I will be at the lake more than likely. Hmph. That then inspired me to dig up all of the old music that I was into during high school, which led to putting some Lifehouse Pandora on, and bam-I had a moment or a memory for every song that came on (some good jams too-thank you Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Secondhand Serenade) and it really just got me thinking about my life and where I've been and where I'm going. I'm not going to get too sentimental here, but it really is sort of bittersweet to think of the people who I always thought WOULD be still around in my life with this day approaching, and then also extremely grateful for those who still ARE around, and have been for the longest.
I am extremely excited for April 11. I'm curious to how I will be feeling the day of. I'm okay with words and people talking or giving speeches, but the music is where it will emotionally hit I feel. I heard the song that I am going to be walking down the aisle to on the radio this morning and I started tearing up. Oh geeze. I can't wait to try the cake that we so deliciously tried a long time ago and to see how the design plays out. I'm anxious to see just how beautiful the centerpieces will be with the water and the candles and the twinkling Christmas lights that are strung atop the ballroom. I am more excited to see my handsome groom in his black suit, which is one of my favorite colors for him to wear, even though he doesn't ever wear it. I am not worried about the weather-whatever happens happens. I am slightly worried with how I will be able to move around in my dress. I am anxious to have hair and makeup done in time for me to show up when I need to at the venue. I am extremely excited to go to the Bahamas shortly after, and even more excited to be in the sun and drink and eat what ever my heart's desire is and just, you know, be married.
So here we go! 14 days till lift off. And I can't wait!! <3
