44 Days!!!!!!!!
I had such a cool experience this week as I was driving around looking for ties for our bridal party. We found two ties that are perfect for the day and now need seven more and of course they are nowhere to be found. :-( Anyways, as I was driving from one mall to the other I pass by the San Diego temple (which is where Scott and I will be getting married) and all of a sudden I could not stop smiling! I had this huge rush of emotion that I have never felt before. I love driving by and seeing the temple, but this time it was so different. I looked at it and became giddy and kind of started to tear up a little. It was so incredible to feel that confirmation yet again and know how much my Heavenly Father loves, cares, and knows me.
Seeing the temple was such a huge blessing because I was getting discouraged by not being able to find ties and all of the wedding planning is very overwhelming. I know I have done this to myself with all of the last minute planning and waiting for so long too. Invitations have not even been sent out... YIKES! We will be getting them out VERY soon though. Needless to say that was very needed and such a comfort to me in these times of well in a way trial. Being away from Scott is hard too. We hardly get to talk because he works so much and when he has breaks normally I am out and about. Texting is even hard for us to do because I don't check my phone as often and one of his jobs he is part of their customer service call sender group so he never can text. However, even though we cannot talk or text a lot listening to a voicemail, reading a text and our small conversations are the best. I love when I open up a text and Scott sent me some sweet message or just told me how he loves me. The small things matter the most.
I cannot wait to go back up to Utah and spend some time with him before I come back down a couple of weeks before the wedding. I know all of this crazy time will be over soon and it will be so very worth it! I love Scott and our awesome fun times together. You know what even our trials are fun in a way because we get to grow more and learn about each other. I know that is mainly "honeymoon stage" talking, but hey a girl can only be in this stage for so long and I am going to enjoy it as much as I can now!
