The clock is ticking fast in Squirrel World. I feel like our engagement flew by and the big day is right around the corner. As excited as I am for the wedding, I honestly can’t WAIT just to be married. The wedding details are pretty locked in (don’t get me wrong, I still have plenty of crafting left to do), but these days I like to sit back and think of how excited I am to be married. I loved Mrs. Gray Wolf’s list a few months ago and wanted to share my reasons:

1. I can’t wait to change my last name. I feel like it makes us true partners in crime. Mr. & Mrs. ____. I practice writing it far too often, but it will still be so strange to hear people say it out loud.
2. Decorating my apartment instead of a reception hall. Projects for the home have much better staying power.
3. I miss carbs. The new KitchenAid mixer and bread maker taunt me on a daily basis.
4. Waking up Christmas morning. Together. (Finally!)
5. Having a better chance of getting Mr. S to rock “going-together” outfits. I mean, he’s kind of stuck with me—why not flaunt it? (Who else loves when that accidentally happens?)
6. All the research says we will live longer and be richer and happier thanks to this little party we are throwing in May. Bring it on.
7. Mr. S can do the laundry and I can do the dishes. He is a folding master, and I loathe hanging things up.
8. I love my wedding band, and I swoon when I see Mr. S wearing his. I keep asking him to “try it out”…and he says no 98% of the time. The other 2% leaves me with lots of giggles.
9. Selling off all my wedding projects! Cha-ching.
10. Knowing my mom will awkwardly push the two twin beds together in her guest room next time we visit.
11. Not having to bank all my time off work to use for my honeymoon. I miss Travelzoo’s weekly top 20.
12. Puppy? Babies? All in good time…
