Never settle of anything less than butterflies...

Well, the count down is well and truly on for the big day! 

To say I am excited is quite the understatement!! 

Sure I am excited to be wearing a pretty dress, but to be honest, I am just so freaking excited to be marrying one of the most decent, awesome men I know. 

While there are so many reasons that I love him, there are many things that really make me stop and recognise that he is the man I want to bet half my shit on going the distance with. 

One of the reasons why I know I want to marry this man is that when he gets up and goes to the kitchen, he always asks, "can I get you anything?" He doesn't just ask and then ignore. He often follows up my response of "no" with a, "are you sure?" and almost seems disappointed if there is nothing I need.  This makes me smile, because he asks this every single time he gets up off the lounge and heads toward the kitchen.  I love it because it demonstrates his thoughtfulness. Over the few days that it has taken me to finalise this blog entry, I have smiled like an absolute loon each time he has asked me if he could get me anything. 

I could bang on for days about all of the traits and features of his that I adore, or why I am so fortunate for him to love me. But I will save you all of the nauseating details :)

I get butterflies when I think about him. But not like 16 year old, girly crush butterflies. These butterflies are different. These butterflies are a genuine excitement about what adventure our next day has in store. It is an excitement about all of the places we are going, bucket list items we are going to tick off together, and the awesomeness of our lives together. And I really dig that. 

In the past, I have settled. And I resolved to never settle for anything less than butterflies (...thank you Sex in the City...) I honestly feel like I am the luckiest person alive and I cannot wait to call him my husband.
