i'm still afraid of the dark...

i'm getting married next week.  it feels good to say that.  because in case you were wondering, brennan is the greatest human on the earth.  i kept hearing how tough the engagement months can be, but fortunately for us, our engagement has been relatively short (just under 3 months) and it has been a time of growth for the both of us.  we have grown so much closer together in that short time and i am stoked to be sealed to him for all eternity.  


every once in a while, i have to sleep at my apartment by myself.  i hate being alone at night.  my imagination runs wild and i psych myself out.  on nights when i'm alone, brennan waits patiently downstairs on the couch - even when he's dead tired and probably just wants to go to bed - while i get ready for bed.  that way after we say goodnight i can just go straight to bed and fall asleep.  it's something small that brennan does that i reminds me i am so loved.  i thought it was something i might miss once we're married.  

that was until last night when i woke up in the middle of the night after a terrible nightmare, paralyzed with fear. i sung every primary song i could think of till i started to calm down and was able to fall asleep again.  but i am really excited for the day that i wake up and brennan is there next to me, and i'll know everything is okay.

dang, he fine.   
11 days.

peace+love

I had this exact same experience, and a few weeks after we got married I woke up one night and just cried because it hit me that Shaun would always be right there. :)
So sad we couldn't make it to your wedding but we are so happy for you!!!
