So it begins

Sorry for the delay in posts but we are still in the process of moving everything into our little cottage and the computer is not big on our list of things that have to be moved in right now.
Everything is going well right now we are still waiting on getting my dresser over to our place so everything will be nicer and more organized.  I know I said at first it was small but now that we have moved alot of our belongings into it it is rather large.  We've also spoken with some of our other married friends, they got married in the last year or 2 and we seem to have a little bit more space than some so that's good right?
We do enjoy our neighborhood, it is very quite considering where it is located and I can't wait to get involved with the people in my ward.

The Final Countdown

With the wedding happening this weekend we are in the final stages of everything we can do for this wedding.  This week will probably be an emotional time for me since I will be moving out of my house for the first time in my entire life.  I didn't think I would see it as this hard of a moment to get through. I'm excited to get married but I didn't expect these emotions to well up like they are. I worry about my little sister and how she's going to handle me being out of the house.  I know she always stick her tongue out at me and does her little downs speech and laughs that funny laugh of hers, how will she take all of this after losing her best friend in my oldest sister a year ago and now losing me who's been her protector over the years. Yes we are planning on spending time with her and planning 'play dates' with her but I'm still worried how she will take this.
I also worry about my dog who I won't be able to see every day and have him wake me up in the middle of the night to be let outside. He was a rescue dog so his owners abandoned him and I feel like I'm doing that to him now.  Chris and I do plan on coming by once a week to take him for walks and to play with him so he knows I'm still around and that I haven't left him completely.  You don't think these things will bother you when you are getting ready to leave home.  I'm ready to be married and start my new life and there will be changes with it and there will be growing and adjusting to each other but it is time that Chris and I stepped into that new life of ours and grow together.
I suppose I'm content with my life and getting married is the right thing for me to do, but I don't NEED to get married like some people feel they do.  I'm not putting anyone down by that because everyone's lives are different and everyone's needs are different so their reasons for getting married and leaving home are different and my reasons are different as well.

I hope to be able to post this week about everything that is going on with the final prep plans but we will see if I am able to or not.
