A Moment.

In a rare moment of quiet, I have some time and space to myself to sit down and actually reflect on the happenings of my life. I am getting married in four days. I am having the most perfect wedding I could hope for thanks to the help of my mother and a few wonderful and dedicated bridesmaids. I get to marry Benjamin Duvall.

When I was young, I never knew if I would actually get married. I even said I would never have kids until a few years ago. Every girl dreams, but you wonder if you'll find that person who fits you. I've never been an overly romantic soul, so I never imagined meeting "the one" or crying when I found the perfect dress to wear on my wedding day. In the past 3.5 and a half years, I have done both. Now my only hope in this life is to be a family with and start a family with Ben.

This wedding process has been like a dream. Over the past 19 months I've been anxious, upset, and the happiest I could ever be. Watching friends get engaged and married was hard, but my family, Ben, and I have worked hard, budgeted, and saved so that we could have what we want. That feels so good. I've never been overly stressed out, we've only had one major planning melt-down (sorry, mom!), and now the day is (almost) here. I can even say that having my wedding dress fall apart - literally - was a blessing in disguise because it allowed me to have that moment little girls dream about.

I love you, B! 4 days until it's official!
