10 and a half months

And we will be married!
It seems so far, but we've already been engaged for 4 months - it seems like doing anything extra during the school year takes lots of effort, and that includes planning a wedding.
Below is our list of wedding to dos over Christmas (supposed to be break :) )
- Meet with cake person to decide on design and flavors
- Get engagement photos taken
- Buy dress (hopefully!)
- Look at bridesmaids dresses (and actually start asking people to be in the wedding...)
- Finalize guest list with families
- Finish save the date cards so they can be sent in February
- Meet with pastor Austin to go over ceremony - we're writing it ourselves - hopefully he's okay with this!

All of this because we will not be back together until July, 3 months before the wedding - too late to do any of the above things.
And yet, for the most part, life continues day to day like normal.
Instead of stressing out, I tell myself that this is the way it should be - focus on life - a little on the wedding - but mostly on life...
