Update 2012


I forgot my password to my blog and I haven't been on here since I think Pat and I got engaged... now we have 19 days until the wedding! The past 14 1/2 months have FLOWN by... so much has changed and happened so I have to wonder where to start...

We got engaged, I found a dress, we booked a country club, bought a car, found bridemaids dresses, got a photographer,got a new job, picked tuxes, booked the honeymoon, picked flowers, went to Missouri, bought a kitten, had some parties for family, went back to Missouri, had a bridal shower, had some holidays, celebrated one year since our engagement (also known as Christmas), celebrated the new Year, had a couples shower, started the count down until the wedding,Celebrated 3 years of dating, paid off everything we owed for the wedding, had my bachelorette party, and here we are...

It still amazes me every day that I found someone who can love me as much as I love them, who supports me, and lets me be myself. We may bicker like an old married couple, but the love we have for one another is just amazing. We compliment one another and bring the best out in each other.
I can't wait for March 10th to arrive so that we become an "official" family.. We already live and act like a family and like we are married, so this is more or less just a technicality, but it makes it more "real" even if it is just on paper.. it just completes us a little more.
Thinking about the future and what it holds for us is exciting and unknown.. I always had a picture of how life would end up... its fun to see it unfold. Some things are different, but the differences have turned out perfect. God always had a plan and its great to see what he has in store.
So the countdown is on and I have 19 more days until I marry my best friends and become Mrs. Melanie Willis...
