New Beginnings

Holy cow! When you aren't writing is when everything happens.This goes for my journal and apparently my blog that only had two posts on it. (That was my old one. Yeah I can't figure out how to log into that one anymore.)

I can hardly believe it! In little more than two days I will be on a plane with my fiance, Sravan (Shawn) to his homeland India to meet my soon-to-be inlaws! I know. It sounds like I'm just making this up. But it's true! I'm getting married to the most handsome, loving, and giving man on April 6th. I feel like I can finally relate to that cheesy quote by Dr. Seuss where he says "You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." The other day "our" camera came in the mail--the one we will be using on our trip. I know Shawn is excited to go to India. He hasn't seen his parents or sister for two years. I have heard so many good things about Shawn's parents, who raised him so well. It will certainly be a treat to meet and talk with them face-to-face as I have only chatted very briefly with them over the phone. And of course, I am thrilled to step into a new country and see the other side of the world. I have only as yet been to Canada and Mexico as my out-of-country experiences. Shawn tells me everything is opposite there, so it will be good to have him by my side.

I can't believe we are getting married! Recently I have been asking Shawn "Are we crazy? What are we thinking?" Naturally, since we met and fell in love I can't imagine being without him and we both want to spend our eternities together. It's just all so hard to believe that it's actually happening! It's definitely a dream come true. We will take a lot of pictures and I will be sure to post some after our trip!
