It's October!
Tomorrow is one of Nathan and my anniversaries! 1 year and 8 months! We both remarked the other day how it seemed like a lot longer than that, and not in a bad way! Nathan is gone on business for a week, so I will be alone :( Tomorrow I have to ride around with Hospice for the day in Cumming, so I am going home to see my Mum tonight ;)
We had an incredible weekend of tears (good ones that brought relief!) and fun! First to talk about is pre-marital counseling. Incredible! While scary and hard at times, it really makes you dig deep into yourself as an individual to make your union as a couple stronger! Nathan and I are pretty "ahead of the game" since we are pretty open about our own issues and don't deny anything, and I am so thankful to God for that. We already had a really open communicative relationship, but this is just making things even better. I find myself telling Nathan things that would normally be really hard or embarrassing and finding that he doesn't judge me and he listens to me and offers reassurance and advice; something that we all need I think. I have seen him grow so much in just these 2 sessions that it's incredible. I was always proud of him, but I think he is becoming someone that HE can be proud to be, which is amazing.
After we left, we decided to go on an impromptu date to a corn maze! It was so fun! When we go out, Nathan and I have more than often "kid dates" which are the most fun! We can go eat Mexican and bring Mad Libs and laugh at the table all night, sit at home and watch things that make us laugh, tickle each other, or in this case, go to a corn maze and eat all kinds of cheap (awesome) food! We didn't get lost in the corn maze (which was kind of sad... we both wanted to! I have found that I actually have a pretty good sense of direction.) but we did take some pictures and kiss and see Moo Moos and eat cheap nachos and drink Capri Sun and Nathan even got a giant pixie stick that was as long as his leg. We were going to watch the movie on the lawn, but it was Mission Impossible... 4 I think? And we wanted to watch a kid movie. Afterwards, we drove around and took in rural Georgia. We sang in the car all the way home, and then we went to Olive Garden where we both got the never-ending pasta bowl (alfredo of course) and stuffed our faces and talked about marriage and love and being together forever. It was wonderful!
Yesterday we watched an awesome message by Andy Stanley about the "right" way to pray, which I am trying to take into practice! Then we dropped two big old bags of my clothes off to Goodwill, managed not to buy anything, eat a big ol' stromboli at Sbarro at the mall, walk around and hold hands, then went home and watched The Nightmare Before Christmas. Then I cried a whole, whole lot because I am going to miss my Nathan like crazy! He comes back Friday. It is Monday. I want to fast forward time!
It's gloriously chilly outside, and I don't want to go to work. However, since I might have to miss it tomorrow, I probably should go in. Gotta save up for this wedding (which will be in a year soon!).
I have a test this week and lots of paperwork due, but next week is Fall Break! Hallejulah!
That's all. XOXOXO.
