How Lucky You Are

Today my fiancé and I are a month from our wedding. While it's hard to believe that it was just 200 days– I find myself wondering where this time went– I am excited that soon we will gather with our friends and families for the start of a new journey for both of us.

I introduced Greg to a friend of mine over the weekend and he happened to be just enduring a break up. Just about two weeks ago a woman he thought he was going to spend his life with ended their relationship and he's clearly heartbroken.

He stood there and looked at us and said, "Do you two know how lucky you are? That you have said you want to grow old together?"

He admitted that he still has faith that relationship will come, he was disappointed that he thought he had found the right person and it didn't work out. I was there and I understood. Each day I make sure I am thankful for having Greg in my life and how much we share. Many times it's just nice to know he's in the house with me even if we are doing separate things. I do know that later we will spend time together or that I can throw an idea off him. Or that he'll make dinner if I'm overwhelmed with work.

While we might find ourselves getting caught up in the wedding details (the top of the list includes getting RSVPs and finalizing the program for the designer), we're looking forward to the our wedding day and what it means to both of us.

And what comes after.
