This weekend i met and got to know a lot of Nick's family. If it wasn't for yard games and a little competition i surely would not of had as much fun as i did. Who says games are just for kids? I even learned to play bocce ball {lets just say i was obviously a newbie}
Even the young kids had a blast playing outside. It was a bit of an overcast, but by the end of the evening the sun was out and it was a wonderful day.
-Rosemary & her great-granddaughter.
-Boppin' nick on the head.
The way Nick interacted with the little girls just made me smile the whole day. Even though children are a ways off for the two of us, i already know how wonderful of a dad he is gonna be.
-High fives for Nick :)
It is odd to think that i am 21. Everyone says that is SO young- but at this point my mom already had her first child. And me and nick like to talk about the future and how we will raise our kids and what traditions they will have.
It just seems that everyone looks at us like we are just so young still. Which yes we are- and yes times are different. However, by the time we are married i will be 23. I just can't wait to grow with Nick, in our love, and in our relationship with God. And see where our path takes us. We have no timeline or checklist we are going by. And Nick may not realize it, but he is not much of a planner- he likes to just be in the moment and go with what comes at him. And that is just showing how much trust and faith he has in the plans that God has for him, and our life.
Not only does Nick make me insanely happy, but he makes me a better person, friend, and christian without even trying. He leads by example.
I truly am the most blessed woman.
Family is everything- and it is exciting to think that i will be taking Nick's last name and having a whole other family as well!
Tomorrow is Monday..Back to work. :) Excited to see my residents, 4 days away and i start to miss them as well. They are also like a family to me. Gahhh i'm elated.
Oh it can be so nerve racking meeting all the family, sounds like you had a great time though, I think its wonderful that your so excited and happy about your future :-)
