8 Months To Go!

Every month when the 13th comes around, I get a little bit more excited. Which is hard to believe because we are still 8 months away and I am already bursting with excitement. But when the 13th roles around, no matter what kind of day I have, nothing can overshadow the happy feeling I get. Not even studying for pharmacology (which is currently my arch-nemesis.) If i promise not to prescribe drugs for schizophrenia, can I not take this exam tomorrow?!

Matthew is very busy with work. Traveling lots and learning even more. He usually doesn't even know what date it is, but you can rest assured that I always make sure to remind him when it is the 13th! He secretly loves it and gets just as excited as me. If he had his way, we would get married tomorrow (and he would get an awesome tax break a whole year early! Oh, the consequences of dating an accountant. Did I mention our monthly budget has TABS?)

As if today were not already exciting enough, being as we are down to 8 months, our Save-the-Dates arrived. I love them. They turned out PERFECT! I always get nervous with personalizing things and ordering them off of the internet without actually holding a real sample. I had nothing to worry about. The company did an awesome job and I am SO excited to send them out!

Other than that, not too much to update on. Oh, but over break I have my first of many Bridal Showers! I am so blessed to have amazing people in my life to celebrate with and I can't wait to celebrate with Matthew's family in Hoisington on our trip there for Christmas. I will be sure to post some updates and pictures!

Happy finals week. Celebrating only 8 months to go is so much more exciting!

Soon-to-Be Team Warnken Enters the Blogoshpere

248 Days until we officially become Team Warnken!

It seems to be that whenever school gets stressful, I turn to wedding things as stress relief (or procrastination. you say tomato, I say tomato...) Hence, finals are upon us and all of the sudden we have a Florist, our Registry has expanded, and now WE have a blog! Because these things are far more exciting than pathophysiology and pharmacology and any sort of prosthodontics right now, naturally.

So we have entered the blogosphere. We (yes, even Matthew, although he doesn't quite know it yet) will be updating on our lives in the months (248 days but no one is counting, right?) up to the wedding and beyond. My friends have blogs on their families that they update that I just LOVE. Maybe this will evolve into something like that WAYYYY down the road. My favorite thing about a blog is that it evolves into whatever you want it to be!

For the first update, and to get you even more excited for those to come- Matthew and I recently completed our FOCCUS questionnaire for Marriage Prep. We discussed a lot of awesome things afterward, which was great. AND, we got a 100% on the "Ready to Marry" and the "Marriage Covenant" sections! WOOHOO- going to the chapel baby!

Now we just have to make the next 248 days go faster... and plan a wedding in the process.

If you can't already tell, I can't wait to marry my best friend.
