One month to go!

One month to go until Beckie and I leave our single days behind. It's kind of surreal. Am I excited? Well, I think the initial excitement has worn off because we've been engaged nearly 3 months. I'm pretty much just tired of waiting and want it to be over with so Beckie and I can start life together as a married couple.

It doesn't help that this past month has been pretty tough, not so much for me but for Beckie. First, there was the stolen purse and now this past weekend there was a fire in Beckie's apartment. Luckily, everything wasn't lost. Because the fire was concentrated between the walls it lacked enough oxygen to ignite anything outside of the walls. The damage was from the smoke. The furniture needs to be professionally cleaned and the clothes needed various washes. We did lose our large collection of board games including my favorite, Settler's of Zarahemla.

Despite all of this hassle, Beckie and I have been blessed to find an excellent apartment more centrally located behind Barnes & Noble in Orem. It is a nicer apartment and even less expensive. The landlord seems like a very nice person. We're very excited to live there together. We're moving in Beckie this weekend and then I'll gradually move things in up until the wedding. By the time we get back from Seattle, everything will be settled.
