Last night, Grace’s roommate got engaged. Things like this remind me of the night when Phillip proposed. I remember his heart beating so fast, and me standing in disbelief. I remember the beautiful meal before the big moment, and him holding my hand in the car just minutes before we walked up to the hotel room – and me thinking that I’ve never been so happy in my life, this being thought even before he proposed.
I also remember the champagne having a late arrival, and the weird animal print robes in the room, and the fact that it rained the whole time. [Luckily I love rain, though most people think this is a negative for such a great moment.] I remember as many details as possible so one day I won’t have to strain to remember.
I love Phillip more than words could even express and I can’t wait to make him my husband. In this crazy swarm of wedding planning and finishing up with school, I hardly have time to actually sit down and express how ready I am for this next chapter in my life.
Over the course of the next 7ish months, I will graduate from college, move twice, start a new job, and get married. That’s a lot to be going on. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but it’s crazy to think about all of these changes that are going to be happening to me in such a short amount of time.
But, I am ready because I have the best friend anyone could ask for by my side. I have someone who supports me without even knowing what I stand for, someone who comforts me without understanding the problem, someone who loves what I’m doing without even being here with me, and someone who loves me without even having to think.
That’s powerful stuff right there. I know this. I know what I have and know what I never want to lose. He is my match and my other half. God put us together for a very powerful reason – soulmates. I can’t wait to enter into that final era of commitment and be able to share every waking – and sleeping – moment with him.
7 months, 4 days, 8 hours
