the rantings of a nearlywed.

I have a brief second,

one second,

to update a little about my life and share with anyone who reads this.

I AM GETTING MARRIED IN 23 DAYS!

I had my first dress fitting. the one I have always knew I would have, but never quite knew how it would feel. it felt like a lot of pins and a little bit of nervousness mixed with a lot of happiness that I was wearing my dream dress.

Now I know how it feels.

when I was trying on my dress, I realized how not-nervous I am about this whole getting-married thing.

I love Kyle with every single part of me, and I'm not even a little nervous about being married or getting married or anything. I'm not really nervous about how things will look or taste or what the weather will be like on September 4.

I'm ready.

last week I have titled "Invitation Week."

more like, "The Week Leah Finished The Biggest Design Project Of Her Life In The Middle Of Finals And Being Terribly Sick."

buuuuuut.

they turned out better than I could have ever, ever hoped.

(can I gush for a second? well, it's my blog, so I will):

I am SO happy with them!!!

it all came together right when I needed it to, and we (Kyle, me, 183rd ward) pulled it all together every night last week.

it might sound dumb, but I felt like this project reflected who I am, as a designer, and the kind of people Kyle & I are, so I put more energy into those invites than I even care to admit.

I am also moving this week, out of the apartment I have lived in for over a year. away from my roommates, some of my best friends. I'm getting ready to live with a BOY.

from here, I have lots of little things to do, but I feel like we have done all the really big things, like invites and buying dresses and suits and finding a venue.

I can totally handle that.
