The closer I get to 10.10.10, the more I find myself looking forward to several specific things:

.

.

1.  No more goodnights. Michael and I have been saying goodnight and goodbye for 8 YEARS!!!!!! ah! I’m so excited to be together… like….forever. Not trying to be cheesy… that just happened to rhyme:)

.

2. I’m excited to share a bank account! That seems so superficial but I’m really looking forward to it for some reason!

.

3. I’m actually looking forward to cooking. (gasp.) My mother never thought those words would EVER come out of my mouth but it’s true. I have A LOT to learn but I’m excited to try and use our new Caphalon Pots and Pans!!! woohoo!

.

4. I’m excited to serve with Michael. Michael is the full time upper school youth pastor at Gayton Baptist Church in Short Pump, VA and I’m so ready to be a part of that ministry! It’s really hard to be there and be involved 100% when I still live an hour away! I’m trying to be involved when I can but it is going to be so much easier when I actually LIVE there!

.

5. I can’t wait to have all of my STUFF in one place… PERMANENTLY!  Because of college, I’ve been moving my life back and forth from home to Newport News every 6 months or so. I’m excited to move one last time and be done with those big plastic storage bins for a while!!!

.

6. I’m thrilled to just be a wife!  I have no idea how to be a married but Michael and I are excited to learn together. We know we’re not perfect and that during our first year of marriage, we have A LOT to learn but we’re so excited to go through this together!

.

Yay for getting married!!! I could go on and on about everything I’m looking forward to but the list is huge! I’m trying to focus on work today…I’m severely behind and I need to get a ton done today! Focus Katelyn Focus! I’m working on finishing up some past weddings, 5 starring Em and Seth’s wedding and then working on the engagement session from yesterday (that you’re going to LOVE). So have a very happy and productive Tuesday!!

.

Many thanks to the wonderfully talented Rae Barnes for helping me out with Em and Seth’s big day! More pics to come on Thursday!! Ps. You should definitely check out Rae’s post from the wedding… just disregard my smile in the first shot…. I guess I was just excited, really excited! Yikes!
