We have 73 days until our wedding and time can't go fast enough! Everyone said this would happen but I didn't expect it to happen to us. I am so ready for marriage. I am ready to be out of this apartment with my roommates and be able to have my kitchen the way I want it and everything. I will be so excited to share a home with Aaron. We are counting down the days and while I wish I could just press a button and have the wedding already, I do enjoy apartment shopping, and getting things for our new apartment. It seems like we do everything together as is and it will be nice when we won't have to go to one anothers apartments, and have all these rules to follow. It will be nice to have some privacy once we get married.
Aaron is at school right now and I am supposed to be making dinner but my roommates have taken over the kitchen so I am being patient and hoping they won't take to long to make whatever it is they are making. Aaron and I have been watching "Avatar The Last Airbender" which I originally thought to be quite cheesy but I enjoy it now. It is a great destresser at the end of the day. On Monday Aaron and I started reading the Book of Mormon. We have a goal to finish it by August, and calculated that if we read 4 chapters a day we will be able to finish it by August. I love reading the scriptures with him and I am so glad that we have started to do this. I just got a new calling as 4th Sunday Relief Society teacher. At first I was like 'What?!'. But now I feel like it may be another step in preparing me to go to the temple. Sometimes I look at Aaron and think to myself- We are so young! How can we be getting married? We are still kids!- But then I think of how responsible we are and how much we love eachother and I am excited for marriage. I don't think Aaron and I will ever stop being kids at heart which is a good thought because I know we will enjoy playing with our children together.
On Friday we are going to go visit my Great Grandpa, Great Grandma, and Aunt Christies gravesite. We are going to bring them flowers. I haven't been to their gravesite since I was about 10. I am excited to visit their gravesite despite the fact that it is somewhat depressing. I feel as though my dad should be here though as it is his grandpa, grandma, and sister. When I think about these things I get so excited for heaven. I just imagine this great family reunion. I really wish I could ask them advice sometimes. Especially my Grandpa Thompson. Sometimes I wonder if they agree with the decisions I am making or if they think there is a better way. I respect their opinion a lot because they have been through life so therefore they are 'wiser' than me. I have put much thought into many decisions lately. Refering to my patriarchal blessing and praying and trying to figure out what the Lord wants me to do. Lucky for me I have Aaron and he helps me clear my mind. I love Aaron more and more everyday. Sometimes it is really hard to be apart. Sometimes I look at him and see him the way God does, and he his spirit is so amazing and beautiful. We couldn't be more perfect for each other. The more I am with him the more I understand him and his weird little quirks. He is progressively learning stick-shift and by August he should be an old pro. We are making Homemade Pizza tonight, should be great because we both LOVE pizza:)
Well thats all for now, I think I will start on dinner now. To Aaron: I love you so much! You are so amazingly wonderful and absolutely perfect for me! To my Family: I love and miss ya'll so much and I can't wait to see you in 2 months!!
