One Month :-)

Today was the day I realized that I am getting married really soon. In exactly 1 Month or 31 days or 744 hours or 44,640 minutes, or 2,678,400 seconds....I think you get the idea. Plus, I decided to take a break from studying and taking finals to relax my brain. This led to me packing my things, which led to the realization that I would never live with any roommates again besides my wife. To clarify, I'm not in any way sad about all of this. In fact, I'm all kinds of excited. There is nothing else that I would rather be looking forward to.

Random thought of the day- To all of my friends and roommates: I apologize if it hasn't been the same since Tiff and I started dating and got engaged. But to be honest, I'm not apologizing for our actions or the changes, but rather if it's been upsetting or bothersome to you. I wish I could explain it to you, but I don't think that anybody will understand until they experience this for themselves. The day you decide to connect your life to another person's for the rest of eternity changes your entire perspective on life. And I sincerely recommend it to all of you! Some of you might be saying to yourselves right now, "Well, that won't happen to me. MY wife/husband is going to understand who I am and things will go exactly as I picture them right now." (And I've heard this from 5+ people already) I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Things will be different, but better than you picture them now. And like I said, you won't see it until you're standing in my position right now. In the end, I really am grateful for all of my friends, especially those who have been close to me. Your friendship and examples have been invaluable. Don't think that just because Tiffany and I are getting married that you can't still be our friends. Things will be different, but friendships can last if you allow them to. I know that I speak for Tiffany when I say that we would love to keep all of our current friends :-)

I hope this wasn't too painful of an experience for you to have to read this blog. But maybe these are just random thoughts spurred by the mental onslaught that we call "finals week." It does drive me bonkers. Yes, bonkers.

Well said Paul! It probably sounds pretty sappy to those who don't know what you are talking about, but someday the'll eat their words. See you soon!

Okay, I'm not going to say too much in case I totally offend some of your loyal readers! lol...but I just want to say that I agree with you. Maybe I wouldn't have put it in exactly those words...but more or less you are exactly right! (and I'm not even to that stage in life yet!). Don't worry about change. I know it's hard, and I know that people don't like to go through it! I, for one, hate change. But I also see how important it is. Move forward with your life and everything else will fall into place. At least, that's what I keep telling myself!
