The next time you see me...

So. On Tuesday I will get to see Matt again, and then I will get to see him everyday after that up until we are married. I have told him that it is the slow beginning process of us getting to be together forever! YAY!!! I find this incredibly exciting.

At church today I found myself saying to some people "the next time you see me I will be married." Each time I said it my face lit up with a huge smile and as Matt would say "you are giddy." People at church will not see me until I am married because I will not be at church next Sunday because I am going up to Ohio on Thursday for Bethany's (Matt's younger sister) wedding and reception so I will be at church in Ohio on Sunday. I got to talk to Kaitlin, which was wonderful. She got married at the same age as I will be, and she has been one of my really good friends. We just got to catch up and she told me how excited she was for me AND she approves of Matt (who wouldn't approve of him?).
Also at church today I found myself playing with three different babies throughout the course of the meetings. During sacrament meeting I was playing with dump trucks and squishy puzzle pieces with my nephew, Sam. Sunday school I had sparkly pipe cleaners and I was playing with this little girl that I don't even know so that her mom could have a break. During relief society I had Savannah, my niece, (who grabbed onto my pointer fingers throughout the meeting) so that Wendy could listen to the lesson. Ah, babies. I do enjoy them.

Don't let this post fool you. It does NOT mean that Matt and I will be planning to have babies soon in our marriage...and I'm not too keen on the idea of everyone always asking when we are gonna have our first kid because 1. it is none of their business and 2. it is none of their business! When Matt and I have children it will be when we discuss it with the Lord and when it is the right time. It's fine if people ask...just not when they ask in a way that is trying to pressure us into having them sooner.

On a different note...I am thoroughly pleased and thankful that Matt and I are able to talk through disagreements that we may have. This will be essential for when we are married. I love making up with him because then we get to be all cutesy with each other and say things like "ooooooh! i love you even more now!" because the wonderful things is..it's true! Even if we have had an argument and we don't agree, if we talk it through and try our best to understand the others' point of view then we grow that much closer to each other and our love grows that much stronger. Thank you Heavenly Father for bringing Matt into my life.
