One step closer. . .

Ringing in the New Year brought with it a new feeling that I didn't anticipate. As I was wrapped up under the covers with Robert I realized something - this was my last New Year's celebration as a "single" woman. I'll admit it, I haven't been very wedding focused lately. However, as 2011 arrived, the excitement of being a bride to be came flooding back. It's the same year as my wedding, so even if it is still two months away, it feels as though we've entered the final countdown.

While I'm overwhelmed with excitement, what makes this final countdown incredible isn't the wedding. It's just knowing that Robert and I are going to be husband and wife that has reignited my happiness. I'm excited for those moments that we are going to share together before the wedding and after. I'm constantly thinking about the moment I will walk down the aisle and see Robert standing at the end waiting for me. There's also the thought of finally travelling alone together as we honeymoon in London. Better yet, I'm looking forward to opening the door to our first place as a married couple and the life that first place will help us to build.

It's still unbelievable at times. I'll be going through my everyday routine and out of nowhere it will hit me- wow Robert and I are getting married! As we counted down those last few moments of 2010, I couldn't help but feel the excitement building with every second that passed. As 2011 arrived, we were one step closer to our own incredible celebration, and while I'm ready to be married, I can't help but enjoy every moment of our own final countdown.
