“If we had a countdown timer on our lives, we wouldn't waste a minute.” Francesca Sedgwick

In exactly one month from today, I will become

Mrs. Cora Caroline Rowley

Something I never ever thought would ever be able to happen to me.   

I am so excited... 

in so many ways, I feel unprepared.... 

Am I really ready to be a wife?  Am I really ready to grow up and cut the apron strings from my mom?  I'm kinda a momma's girl, and my kinda, I mean completely.

However...

I know that there isn't a man in the world that would understand me or be as patient with me as my Josh is.  

Could I have prayed for a better man?  Probably not.   

But if you had told me in HS that I would be marrying this man... this specific man... I would have scoffed in disbelief.  No way...  He's nothing like I ever thought I wanted... I wanted a sporty guy, a guy with a limited imagination... driven in the field of business so that we could be rich right away and I wouldn't hafta work...

But I ended up with someone so much better.  Someone with an imagination that makes my own, seem so small... which isn't a bad thing... just means I hafta get mine to grow... right?  Someone with such a sweet and loving spirit.  Someone that loves me, I'm sure, more than I can even comprehend... and that kinda scares me... I mean, to be loved as much as that... it's kinda intimidating.. yes??  And again, I am seriously, SO FREAKIN' LUCKY!  After all the crap I had to go thru, to get this guy... I would go thru it again... knowing the heartache... and the pain... and the idiocy... although I would prolly listen to myself the first time I was poked to go and get to know him.

Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.

 and I am so excited that we only have one month until I get to see him every morning when I wake up, morning breath and all, and every night when I go to bed... even after an argument... and all that other married couplely stuff...
