I'm getting married in....12 days?!

Okay, I feel like it was just yesterday I was whining about how much longer I had until I was married. Now I am less than two weeks from getting married, and AGGGH!!! Part of it is that I have still have stuff I need to do, and I know I have a few invites that I still need to give to people (whoops). The good news is that my dress came last week, and it is beautiful. But I discovered a slight problem: the hem was just a tad long. My mom warned me of this because she could only hem so much. The hem being a little long meant I needed to buy heels. Now most girls leap for joy when they hear the words "shoe shopping". I'm not one of them, especially two weeks before my wedding. But Stephan took me shoe shopping this evening and we got a pretty pair of silvery satin strappy sandals with a subtle rhinestone detail at Shoe Carnival. Best of all, they weren't outrageously expensive, though they were more expensive than other shoes I have gotten. And I'm going to need a pedicure, big time.

I'm also most likely taking bridals on Wednesday evening. Much thanks to my cousin Jacey for being so patient with me as I keep changing the dates on her. I am so excited!

But I also have a total of twenty pages to write by next Thursday for my class. After that, no more finals ever again! I also have an appointment with a gynecologist on Thursday morning. *gulp*

I'm excited to get married, but I am also really nervous at the same time. This is going to be a big change for me. Yes I have lived with brothers, but having a husband is going to be so different. I've always been nervous about change. I fear the unknown, but I am reminding myself that this is going to be an adventure. There will be good parts and not-so-good parts, but an adventure nonetheless. Most married people tell me that marriage is really hard, but it is so worth it. I want to be a good wife.

Plus, the fact that my life is changing completely in a period of a few days (graduating from college and getting married) is a bit nerve-wracking too. I am happy to be finishing school, but I kind of wish I could just stay a little longer and still be a kid (sort of). I am nervous about entering the work force. Stephan promises that I won't have to work forever. He wants to be the breadwinner--he says he wants to take care of me, awww.

I hope I don't lose touch with my non-married friends. I'm still going to need girl time! I also hope I can make new friends where I'm moving, but making friends has never been my strongest point. I tend to be shy.
