6 Months before the wedding

Well, we are almost there. Six more months and I will have a wife...it is kind of scary and exciting that I will be the one that she chose to be with for the rest of her life. She is great, she doesn't always get my jokes but will still give me a fake laugh after (some of) my jokes. The best part of my day is when we go to bed together and we just lay there and talk for hours about our day and random things and always end the same way...us looking at our phones and saying "how did it get so late?" Then a good night kiss.

I guess when you look at us we are complete opposites, so I guess what they say is true. 

• She is quiet, I can be loud.
• I am a morning person and if she is up before 10:00 AM don't talk to her for at least 30 minutes.
• We both have completely different tastes in movies.
• She is a planner and I am more random and will do something on the fly than sit down and plan it out.

I guess it isn't a lot but we are great for each other and I am really lucky to have her in my life. We have come a long way since we found each other again, I was unemployed and living with friends, she had a good job and was looking for something real and so was I. We started talking like nothing changed from all those years ago and instantly "clicked." You know what I am talking about, all you want to do is be with that person and they never leave your mind, life is crazy that way, you never knew what you were missing in your life until someone adds it to yours and you can't imagine yourself with out it. That is what Alexis is for me and I love her more and more everyday, from the morning kiss that I have to wake her up to get (or else she gets mad) or that last kiss before I drift off to sleep, it only gets better from here.

I remember the first time I told her that I loved her. We were out camping with her cousin Liz and her boyfriend Josh. We were in our tent looking up at the stars and even though the view was great I couldn't help but stare at her, it was like I could see ever star sparkle in her eyes and I knew that I would be with her forever. She started the conversation saying "I have something to tell you but I don't know how to say it." I had a pretty good idea what she wanted to say and figured I would take a shot and guess. I told her that I know what she wants to say and I feel the same way, I don't know if she was scared because it was like I read her mind or relieved that I felt the same way. That night was the first time we said "I love you" and haven't stopped since.

The night I proposed to her was nerve wracking, I had just been laid off and she was working part time. I spent the last of my money to buy a ring, set up the house, cooked dinner, lit some candles and had a slide show of our photos going across the TV. I was waiting for her to get home and I heard her come up to the door...I met her at the door and she was on the phone with her mom, I told her to get off the phone because I had something to talk to her about. I pulled out a blind fold and walked her in the house, we stopped in the living room and I started a song that she said she always wanted played at her wedding, took the blind fold off  and ask her to be my wife. She was shocked at the timing as it wasn't the best for us financially but we were there for each other and that is what made me move up my plans. She cried a little and we ate dinner...then it was time to let people know!

That was two years ago and here we are six months away and so ready. She is working really hard to make our wedding day the perfect day and she shocks me every time we work through another hurtle. But I know it will be one crazy day to celebrate the start of our crazy life! I love her...and that will never change.
