Today's journey

24 days to go! That's all I have to say about that ;)

This week has been weird. I have been home more to help Barb, because of her fractured back (although she's doing significantly well). I haven't been over to the new apartment at all, which is probably good because whenever I'm there I want to live there, so not being there might help me with patience ;)

Last night after our hair appointments and before we stopped for dinner, Barb and I talked about how this phase of my life really is all about me ;) Well, us, but it's a much more (appropriately) self-focused phase than we normally experience in life. I told her how sometimes I almost feel bad about how self-focused it truly is. Other than work and running, my days are absorbed with wedding preparations, final details, and things that are kind of silly to spend your time thinking about.

At the same time, we talked about how God orchestrated this phase of my life and sometimes we have seasons of life that are like this. Since it's from God and it's GOOD, I want to view it as a God-given phase. Not as an excuse to ignore others or anything, but as a short season that will be gone quickly and should be cherished.

I've enjoyed trying to figure out things like that what shoes I'll wear and how I'll do my hair or what gift to give so-and-so. Although I'm thankful that this season isn't any longer than it is as I'm looking forward to getting absorbed with much more "eternal" things. But I guess if you have to endure a phase of life, one that's primarily focused on you, your future husband, and your future life isn't so bad ;)
