Countdowns! Countdowns! Countdowns!

So why not start this blog post by saying I have A LOT to be excited for! I'm sure I get on most  nerves with the whole Twitter hashtags of 'how many more days' and the Facebook status' of how 'I just can't wait' ..So I do apologize for being overly excited, but you see, I'm only getting married ONCE to the most handsome man ever! I love him so much that I just can't help it! Anyway, back to countdowns! I'm not sure about you, but I just love doing countdowns whether it was how many days until show choir tryouts, or how my days until my senior year had come to an end you better bet your bottom dollar there were X's on my calendar. The countdowns i have, you may think are silly, but they help keep my life interesting to say the least. Like in just 12 days we take our engagement photos, in 9 days it's Valentine's Day, in 11 days It'll have been 2 years since Evan asked popped the first major question, which was to be his girlfriend, and in 5 more days I get to visit with him, FINALLY! See! All that is happening just in the month of February. Since Evan and I have been dating the longest we have ever been apart from one another was a full week. It was tough! (I know! I know!  One week isn't bad when most families are having to wait a 365 days for their soldiers to come home, but when you miss somebody, you miss them. It's that simple.) Phone calls and texts just don't do me enough justice, I like the whole quality time experience and his sweet hugs with kisses, but I won't get any more mushy with you. ;) Evan will start his third full week on his job at KLBC; which is wonderful, but makes for a full 3 weeks that I haven't seen him! We skyped a few times and  even used our phones to facetime, but even that, like calls and texts, did me no justice. Which is why I am happy to say that the countdown to when I see him now is just FIVE whole days! I'm not just ready to see him, I'm VERY ready to see him. He has a lot planned for us to do in just the 4 days I have to visit. We're doing Valentine's early too so that means a meal, a movie AND a sweet V-Day surprise! I'll be back to blog about our date, what hanging out with the cool Starke kids is like, how adding some more touches to our house is coming along, and even how we're fancying up the youth building. So now that I've shared my happiness for this countdown I must leave you with the BIGGEST countdown of them all, just 148 days away from saying 'I do' <3
