After the craziness of the week ended, I couldn’t help but enjoy the present and look to the future. For some reason, a lot of my friends are pouring in their engagement/wedding/proposal/honeymoon pictures into online outlets and I can’t help but be reminded of the night Phillip proposed and look forward to our big day and honeymoon. It all excites me so much!
Last night Phillip helped a friend and his friend’s wife move into a new apartment. He was texting me about how he couldn’t wait for us to move in together, and I must say that I feel the same way. I can’t wait for us to be able to spend all the time in the world together and enjoy each other’s company all the time. It’s so much fun when we get to spend weekends together in our respective cities so I can only imagine how great spending every day will be.
Since the wedding is just over a year away, I’m starting to think of all of the many things I want to do before Phillip and I tie the not. These activities aren’t necessarily those “oh-my-gosh-I-need-to-live-out-my-singleness-before-being-tied-down” things, they’re just simply some things I need to do. For example, there are some places and events in College Station that are considered native traditions that I still have not seen or done. It’s about time to get a move on since I’ll only be here until December. But there are other things like that too. I want to take a road trip to the Austin and San Antonio area one weekend with Phillip to taste food at all of the little restaurants that have been featured on Food Network. I want to tube down the river with my girls again and remember it this time.
As this semester comes to a close, I’m reminded that I only have 8 months left in this city that I have called home for so long. Nostalgia is already setting in and I’m realizing that college is about to be a completed chapter in my book of life. College Station will soon be that place I lived in while going to school once upon a time. There are so many memories here and I only have short while to wrap them up and move on.
I mean, there are definitely bigger and better things to look forward to in life, but I’m feeling a sense of finality as of late. I need to get going. My life is heading in a new direction and it’s almost time for me to pack my bags and leave this town behind. Just writing that makes me feel a little sadness. Change is inevitable and it’s coming sooner than I think. These last 7 months of being engaged has flown by, and I can only imagine how fast the next 13 will zoom past.
