the eve of the wedding anni!

i LOVE remembering.
Looking back on what has been. Things that made me smile, or cry, or laugh... any of it... well, mostly.:) Certain things... like crashing my friends truck or the pain of leaving home I choose not to dwell on for long, but they still are apart of my "journey".  

Today I have been constantly thinking back to the night before my (our) wedding day. So much anticipation. If I only knew then what I know now. hahahaha! just kidding!

I remember going out to aunt Wendy's  to put the finishing touches on my fairytale tent reception... then feeling the sense of accomplishment that all the planning came together... but then realizing on the way home to get ready for the rehearsal that I FORGOT MY WEDDING DRESS at the store. I mean really. WHO forgets their wedding dress. Tears just ran down my face as I realized I had remembered everything... except the thing that I kinda really needed. So 15 min before the store was CLOSED for the weekend... my amazing moma called the store and begged them to stay open for a half hour longer so that she could pick it up. Oh my. PANIC city I tell ya. But as you can tell by the pictures... I got my dress! :P Really though... what would I have done. Broken into the store??? Worn my pj's. Yep. I would have thrown my hands up in the air and shocked everyone by coming around that corner in my cutest pj's! :) Hey, no one would have ever forgotten my wedding day! Good thing every thing worked out, eh :)!

So tonight I remember the night before... tomorrow will be YEAR 4. WOW. It's hard not to talk about tomorrows memories today! But I will not! 

A few more memories...  julie bringing jacob with a mohawk to the rehearsal to tease me ... and give me a heartattack!!! The bbq at my house (parents house I guess)... I always LOVE having people over to mom and dad's. Saying goodnight to Greg for the last time... (in the sense that I never had to have my heart drop cause he had to go home ever again!).  and then sleeping on the floor in the living room with Sarah and Julie. Wow. on the floor. Really guys! :) 

LOVE EVERY MOMENT of remembering. AMAZING time in my life. and I love him more today then I did then. (gag I know... but its the truth!)

going to bed much earlier tonight then I did that night.... hey! things change :P
