Final Countdown

Is here! Less than twenty-four hours and I'll be a married woman! Geez that is freaky!

I'd like to just stop here and say that I very much doubted if I would ever see this day come. Not because I figured I was too fat to be loved, but just because it seemed so impossibly difficult that you could find someone with whom you really thought you could--and would want to--spend the rest of your life. Obviously lots of peeps get divorced all the time, but my parents are still going strong after thirty plus years of marriage--this alone has always made me so afraid of divorce that I just considered never marrying, i.e. hopefully living 4ever with a partner but outside of wedlock. (That's a creepy word no matter what, eh?)

But mostly, I just couldn't imagine actually marrying anyone I dated. Some I cared for very much, but never before David did I understand that marriage is about starting a family, one that is different from the one in which I was raised, but just as close, supportive, hilarious, and comforting.

Thank goodness I found him.

I prolly won't have time to post tomorrow, but wish me luck, think nice thoughts for us, and enjoy these pics from our pre-wedding breakfast and bike ride today!

  1. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can't wait for the wedding/weekend update.
    Also, I am always a bit jealous when you post bike ride pictures. I have yet to find good bike trails around after I moved to grad school. Plus, Iowa is pretty in its own right but Colorado is absolutely beautiful.
