So most normal Americans associate November with Thanksgiving and turkey. This November, I have more to be grateful for than ever before....the turkey doesn't.
THIS IS THE MONTH I GET MARRIED!!!
Now, those married friends of mine...did you go through this wierd realization period of your engagement? You know, the time when you look at your life and think, "HOLY COW. When did I grow up? Am I old enough to get married?"
It really is wonderful.
I have also decided I am writing a book. There are SO many things people never told me about being engaged or getting married. Here are a few I have compiled through various experiences:
1) Satan will try everything in his power to prevent your marriage from happening. If he realizes he can't break you down in the obvious way, he'll try other methods. I have had so many challenges in this past month. Yet, there is no way he will win.
2)Be EXTREMELY organized when gathering addresses for announcements. IF you don't, you will lose them and get confused and end up sending multiples to some and nothing to others.
3)Love your dress.
4) Do not spend all your money on decorating your first home/apartment. It is only temporary housing and plus, if your husband's like mine, investing is key at this point in your life.
Does anybody else have lessons they learned while being engaged?

when you open gifts and make gift lists, also write down where they purchased the gift....it makes any returning that you need to do much easier. We had to guess on a bunch of gifts, which took a lot longer than already knowing where it needed to be returned.
Also....when writing gift lists somehow indicate if it's coming from your friends/family or his friends/family because then when you go to mail thank you cards, you can easily remember if you need to look at your addresses or his (unless all your addresses are just in one big pile)
