Another Day

He's staying an extra day!!! Hooorraaaaayyyy! I'm pretty happy about now.

P.S. Happy Engagement Anniversary! :) We've been engaged for a month now. I can't believe it.

Just Sitting

I decided today that I really like just sitting next to Phillip on the couch. He's been working on athletic department stuff and I've been studying for my anatomy exam. It's nice to be able to just sit together with the TV on in the background. It feels like we're married and living together. It makes me look forward to it even more. I love him, love being with him, love spending time with him, and love sitting next to him. That's all I need to be happy. He's just that good. :]

Phillip Is Sitting Next To Me

That's right. He decided to come in town for the weekend - suddenly. He's great like that. I can't complain at all. Woohoo!! :D

Always Looking to the Future

I keep thinking about Phillip and I's future.

When I think about our lives together, I don't picture the wedding, or the reception, or the honeymoon. I picture our first apartment, going grocery shopping together, and laying around on a Sunday afternoon. I picture us finally getting to spend every available waking minute together.

I can't wait for us to pick out our first place and decide on decorations. I want to put it all together, and settle into a comfy and wonderful life together. I'm looking forward to the newlywed years, and even beyond that (though that dreaming will come later). I want to make him dinner every night. I want to sit around on the couch and watch TV all weekend long. I want our first Christmas to be one filled with so much love and a modest tree. I want to just sit with him for hours.

These little things may sound boring to the everyday person, but for me, they represent something so much bigger. All of this means that Phillip and I will be husband and wife. We will be together forever. I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. And that alone will make all of the boring stuff so much fun and an opportunity to grow together.

"...Two More Years and You'll be Done with School..."

This weekend was a pretty good weekend. I got to see Phillip at my parent's house for all of one hour. It was bittersweet. I'm really glad I could see him, but kind of bummed it was only for a little while. I wish there could have been another way to have seen him. I sure do miss that guy. I hope the next 12 days go by quickly. I have 3 exams and then him. I can't wait to spend more than an hour with him.

Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks are looking sweeter and sweeter.

One day we won't have to say goodbye anymore. That day will be one of the best days of my life.
