Three Weeks

Three weeks from today I'm getting married.

A few friends warned me about the emotions that would kick in around this time. I didn't believe them and thought, "that won't happen to me." But it has.

Most of all, I feel excited! I am head-over-heals, can't-live-without-him, absolutely-elated in love with Benjamin Roberts.
But I'm also feeling anxiety, stressed, and sad to be leaving the people and things I love in Virginia. The anxiety isn't so much about the changes ahead, but more about the limited time that I have to do the things I need/want to do before I go. I'm mildly stressed about wedding stuff - my stress is quite low until someone asks me a hard question like what do you want to do the morning of your wedding? Are you wearing a vale or tiara? Should the men in the party should wear a suit or a tux? Ok, so they're simple questions, but we're down to the details and they can get stressful! I think the sadness about leaving is self explanatory. Ben's fantastic. He lets me cry and says nice things to me to make me feel better. :)

Overall, things are good. If you are in the area, please stop by our going away party next Friday night. 7:30-9:30 at The Grove.
