To Sad Endings and Brand New Beginnings

Jeb and I are officially home from college, and right now it’s for good.

 I didn't finish my degree; I have decided I want to work in a salon for the rest of my life. Jeb will leave for Alamosa to do his internship this next month (which I am dreading) I am staying in Westcliffe this next year, hopefully working, starting and finishing numerous projects that include re-finishing or painting furniture I have been given these last few years, and most importantly plan a wedding!

JEB AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED!



He hasn’t proposed or anything, we have just decided that next summer is the best time to start our married life, and start our grand adventure.



We were going to get married this August but we took the wise advice from our parents and decided to wait for a year.



So Jeb will be in Alamosa and I will be here until next summer.



I am hoping to do most of the wedding by myself with help (of course) from my mom, Jeb’s mom, my sisters, our dads, my cousins, my grandma, and the list goes on and on. The numerous DIY projects that will be related to our wedding I am hoping will keep me focused and time fly.



I am also really excited to start working out at home with my cousin and my mom. My goal is to lose 5 pounds a month up until the wedding. Leanne and I are going to start swimming (after she teaches me) and my mom and I are going to walk and lift weights. That should take up a few hours of my day!



At this point wedding planning isn’t too intense, I’ve just been looking and ripping apart magazines, thinking, dreaming, and talking with Jeb and our families.



The few things I do know at this point are

·        I want my grandma to make my dress

·        I want her to make my sisters dresses

·        I want my wedding outside and reception inside

·        July 7, 2012

·        I cannot picture marrying anyone else

Jeb and I were talking a month ago about when each of us knew we were going to get married and he said to me, “I think I always knew.”

There is no doubt in my mind that I am marrying my very best friend and the only boy who stole my heart

He is the only one who I trust with anything

The only one I am 100% open and honest with

The only boy I ever dated and wasn’t bored with in 2 weeks.

He treats me like gold and loves me unconditionally

There is no one else I can picture standing at the other end of the isle when I picture my wedding.
