I can hear the bells...



Can you believe it? In just 8 days, I will be marrying my very best friend and the most amazing man in the world. In 8 days, i'll no longer be a girlfriend or a fiance but a wife. In 8 days, i'll be allowed to do things I wasn't allowed to do before....like get a cat and paint my walls whatever color I want without asking my dad. In 8 days, I am going to be the happiest woman alive. In 8 days, i'm going to be sealed for all eternity to the man i've been waiting for my entire life.

I cant believe its here. All those years of planning my wedding in my head and the time has finally come. Its a little scary and a little overwhelming knowing that I am growing up and starting a new and exciting chapter of my life, but i'm more excited and happy than anything else. I know he is excited too.

I'd like to hear your advice about being married. How do you handle fights and disagreements? What kind of fun things do you do together? What was the hardest thing to adjust to after moving in together? Anything else that you think would come in handy, i'd love to hear about it.

8 DAYS!!!

AWE Kassi I am so happy for you. K im sure you've heard a lot of advice already but here is my two cents- your marriage is what you make of it, always kiss goodnight, never go to bed mad(everyone says it but its true), just talk it out, have patience, date nights are awesome. You can tell your hubby he needs to give you commpliments just as often if not MORE often. For some reason those have be come few and far between sometimes. Marriage is change but you are in love and happy it will be so fun. It's not always bliss but you can still have fun and enjoy it as you endure it! Good luck! He is a lucky fella!

PS where are you going for the honeymoon?

you are so cute and I am so so excited for you!! Being married is the best thing in the whole world. No lie. I know I haven't been married that long but one thing I have learned so far is that no matter how I am feeling, I always need to share my thoughts and feelings with my hubby cuz even if none of it relates to our relationship or our stuff that is going on, I still need to talk to him. One time I had just been thinking about a lot of things with work, not having a lot of friends up here, and me missing my family..and it just all came out one day in tears and it just made him feel bad that I didn't talk to him sooner about it. Your husband(its close enough to say that right?) wants to hear about everything you feel and think, even if you don't think he does.
Honestly I didn't really thing that it was hard for me to adjust to moving in together. I love love love it. I love living with my best friend and always having him around. And the best part is that I don't have to drive home to my own bed every single night! :]
One thing that we really like to do is hang out/go on dates with our best friends that live up here.. There is always the option of going out to dinner, but we like just going over to each others house and making dinner and playing games or even just talking..It is always tons of fun. Anyhow.. sorry this was so long! I wish I could come be there for your reception! I know you will look so amazing in your dress :] Have fun and cherish every second of your wedding day and of your honeymoon. It only happens once! :] Love ya girl! :]

Okay first off... Marriage is the most amazing thing ever. I love it!!! Second, go to deseret book and get the Family Home Evening for Newleyweds book... Bruce and I have been married for 2 1/2 years and we still use it! It is so much fun. Third... Seriously get in the habit of saying your prayers and reading your scriptures together sooner than later. Forth.... I am so excited for you, you are gonna be a beautiful bride and I am sad I can't be there. Fifth, Married life is amazing!!! haha

AS for the adjusting thing, I never had a problem with that. It just felt so normal and it felt like we had been living together forever. haha just have fun and I guess the biggest advice I have is even if he is at fault say sorry... It seriously is not worth it to fight over stupid things, save it for the real important stuff! Love ya girl!!!

YAY!!! I am so happy for you! You waited a long time for this boy, and the time is finally here! My advice for you is to be the kind of spouse you want Logan to be. It's hard for someone to be crabby to a happy loving person! Be quick to say sorry and quick to forgive. Make the Lord top priority. Have fun! Go on lots of dates together, and when the time comes when you get sick of not having any friends, call me and we can go on double dates! Love you Kassi!

8 days will pass by so quick!! It's all so worth the wait! A lot of people say that the first year is the hardest, but I never thought that, there are hard times for sure but it really is so fun. Some great advice I got was go into it knowing that even though you are happily ever after things aren't always going to be perfect, and marriage is something you have to work at daily. Just keep in mind that there is no one you would rather go through the good times AND the bad with. Make it a goal to go to the temple :) It's the best place to get away from the craziness of life and it really brings you closer each time you go. Being newlyweds funds are often times limited...so for fun we like to cook together! Look up a yummy recipe and try it out together it's so fun! You are going to be a great wife, and you will love being married it really is the best :)
