Today is our first shower. I'm nervous. My mom only ever did family birthday parties so I've not been the center of attention around friends & such very often. Seth is here, but refuses to go with me. He says that showers are for women. He is going shooting with my Dad instead... Thanks, bud.
It seems unreal that it is actually time for all of these things to start happening. We had our 4 years of officialness on Tuesday. Neither of us realized it until that evening when someone mentioned that it was March 15th. Weird, I know. It is because we're not really sure at what point we became exclusive. We had our first date on February 18, 2007 after having been friends for a year and 8 months and after sharing our first kiss in the beginning of December 2006. Sometime during Spring Break while sitting on his tailgate in my parents' driveway, we shared "I love you"s and decided that probably meant we were 'going out.' Neither of us happened to look at a calendar for a while and could not remember what day that was... So we picked the day in the middle of Spring Break that year, March 15th, and decided that would be our anniversary. Hopefully we'll be more attentive to our wedding anniversary.. :)
So today, let the wedding festivities begin. I really wish people wouldn't buy us things, but that is the way American's do weddings. And we will need some stuff to start off our lives together. So I will receive these gifts with a welcome heart and try not to think of how many mouths could be fed or good could be done with the money that was used to purchase them. I'm a better gift-giver than gift-receiver.
I hope you all have a very blessed last Saturday of Spring Break. This is my last Spring Break ever.. Weird.. I might be able to convince my first employer to give me a whole week off next year to properly observe this sacred holiday... ;)
