Marriage ain't a track meet.. It's a marathon

I can't wait to be married. Alex gets home in 4 days. We start our marriage counseling shortly after. We have 53 days 18 hours and 31 minutes remaining til we are married. This planning has really come together. We have all the significant, time-handicapped things done. Trust me, we didn't do it alone!!! Marriage will be hard... but fun, too! College classes and stuff have alined themselves so well with Alex and my plan! If I really wanted I could actually finish my pre-med schooling in 3 1/2 years. I haven't quite decided if I am going to do that, though. After I get done at Iowa, I have another 4 years at Des Moines University. When I look at it in terms of my age, I really don't think it will take that long. I will be 25ish when I start my residency. That doesn't seem bad to me. I can't wait to start college next year. School will be fun. I pretty much already have my schedule laid out for next year. Alex is almost done with his first year of college. 1 more day left. I graduate this month. It's weird, I've always been so excited about graduating high school, but right now marriage seems way more important... graduating just seems weird. Don't get me wrong, I'm way excited, but my focus has shifted entirely. Today I can officially say that I am getting married next month. That sounds so cool. Well, I want to go to sleep. So ttyl... Me!
