What a week this has been!

Full of wonderful friends, surprises, and a new blog!

First of all, I've decided to start this blog for a few reasons:
1. I thought I'd jump on the blog bandwagon and see how it was to write all of my thoughts in one place.
2. One of my good friends finally convinced me to do so.
3. I love reading other people's blogs, and hopefully someone somewhere will find some humor, comfort, or joy in what is being said.

I was able to visit one of my friends this past weekend who lives about 2 hours away. I hadn't seen her in a while, and it was so good to sit around the kitchen table with her and another friend and just chat. It's funny how you don't seem to miss that kind of companionship until you have it again. It's made me realize just how much I miss living with and near my friends. As much as I enjoy being an introvert, it is always great to grab a cup of coffee with an old friend and just catch up.

Then....

 What a surprise this was!! I had no idea it was coming, or that it would happen so soon. I'm thrilled to be in this new phase of my life. As stressful as it can be, I'm trying to constantly remind myself to sit back and enjoy this time with my fiancee.  We will never have these 8 months of our lives back.  Also, even though we've only been engaged about 5 days, I can tell that this wedding planning business is going to be great for our communication skill development. I think it's great to hear all of the things he's been thinking of and planning about. So great to know that I have a guy who is truly excited about a wedding and wants to have a say in things as well. Frustrating at times, but still great.

I truly am lucky...
