I am currently in the northern part of Kenya, I am from an amazing field trip (if you ignore the dust and the sun) and all I can think of at the end of the day is......MY SKIN!.., how I am hoping the sun and the dust do not cause alot of damage because am running out of time before the 'big day'....and catch up now with my fiance is him updating me on the service providers he has talked to (God bless this man for making things easy for me)...so what has been on my mind?...
It has been interesting so far, from random people referring me to people they know who provide great decor, catering,wedding gowns e.t.c to people asking me how I feel, and most of the time I do not know how I feel so I go with....mmmmh....'normal' because at the moment I was thinking of eating boiled maize with just the right amount of salt......
I now follow bridal pages on social media and YouTube now suggests for me to watch wedding videos.....a big change from them suggesting for me to watch a preview of the next minion movie...
I am now saving people as....'sylvia decor', 'Deno food'....and my email is full with quotations and contracts and reminders.......
Anyway, to be honest I am excited about the 'big' day....it would be abnormal not to be right? Because I get to look my best for that day, get gifts ( hint hint readers) and mostly because I will get to kiss my fiance for the very first time....it is really a big day.....
I try to fight the feeling of excitement because I do not want my focus to be on that one 'big' day that I forget the days after...but sometimes I allow myself to get lost in thinking of that 'big' day....
There are days I wake up thinking 'wuuuuuuhu! am going to get married!' and there are days I wake up thinking....'ooooh boy! am I ready for this? am I ready to give up my singlehood?'
Sometimes I meet people who tell me how men are dogs and marrying one is a mistake, and there are times I meet people who show me that marriage is beautiful...(I thank God for my boss and best couple)
Thing is,
I am definitely excited to begin this season of my life, I am excited that I will get into a covenant where I will be challenged to forgive, to serve and mostly to put someone else before myself...
I am excited because I will have someone to share my life with and finally ditch sleeping in a jumper during the cold season....
I am excited that I will have a 'guinea pig' for my food and smoothie recipes......
I am mostly excited because we will get to fulfill the purpose in which God has called us to fulfill as a couple and reach more souls together....
............................................TO BE CONTINUED............................
Sincerely,
An excited, minion-loving young lady
