17 days

Ever since getting engaged, I wondered what it would feel like a month before the wedding, or 2 weeks before the wedding, or a week before.  It still seemed like it would feel different being that close, but I mean... it's not that different. 

It feels like Stuart and I are much closer of friends.

It feels like the wedding is all I can think about now...

But I still feel like the same me in many ways.  I have grown and learned a lot since this time last year, but I'm still... me.  So, there's the answer to some of my questions from the past.  If anyone else has ever wondered that, now you know!  You don't turn into a princess or anything.  My body still isn't perfect(can you believe it?!), and I still get in bad moods.  My hair feels kind of dried out, I have a few zits, still get dark circles under my eyes.  Haha!  I guess that's a good thing!  If Stuart is still going to marry me when I have not yet reached a state of fairy-tale perfection then he must really like me.  And it is nice to be liked despite your imperfections.  It's fun to see that I love him more as I get to see his imperfections revealed.  To love an imperfect person and to be loved in your imperfections- that is perfectly lovely!
