Happy
February everyone!!! This is my absolute favorite month! For many reasons:
*I’m a huge
fan of Valentine’s Day! I love the candy, I love LOVE, and it’s just a happy
day.
*This time
next year Justin and I will be getting married! Yup, we have an official date,
and I can officially start my 1 year count down. FEBRUARY 7, 2014!!!
Being
a student here at BYU-Idaho when I tell people I am getting married NEXT
February I get tons of weird looks and put downs. In the Mormon culture it’s
normal for people to meet on a Friday and get married on Saturday. Maybe that’s
a little extreme, but you get the picture. So when people ask when I’m getting
married and I reply with, “next year,” they think I’m crazy.
Justin
is in the Marines. He is getting deployed in March and will be gone for 7
months. I graduate in December, and we’ll be married in February. Now, this is
not my ‘ideal’ situation. No one wants to wait that long to get married! But,
this is what we’ve been given. Even though it’s REALLY hard to be away from
Justin all the time, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I like having this time
to plan our wedding, and get to know each other in a different way.
Justin
and I had opportunities to get married before he deploys, but we looked at the
best option for US. There comes a time when you just have to ignore what
everyone else thinks and just do what you want to do, and what the Lord wants
you to do. Sometimes it’s hard, but it’s always worth it.
Alright, I'm off my soapbox now. Have a great weekend everyone! :)
