Something New

Instead of talking about how things are going, here are some general thoughts I've been thinking, unrelated to certain people or current events in my life.  Specifically, I've been thinking a lot about weddings, marriage, and what it means to be married to someone.  Regardless of when that happens, I want to be prepared to be the best wife my future husband could ask for.  I've been looking at several marriage and wedding blogs advertised by different Pinterest people.  Let me tell you, I've found some awesome stuff!

One of my favorite recent finds is this blog called Simply Clarke.  She has this one post entitled "10 Tips for A Christ-Centered Marriage".  To give you a taste of what it says, #1 is "Be Best Friends".  This is something I definitely want to put into practice.  I hope that as time goes on, the person that I'm meant to be with is just that: my best friend.  The person I want to talk to more than anyone else.  It also goes along with one of my favorite songs: "You'll Always Be My Best Friend" by Relient K.

Of course I'm finding lots of wedding blogs and tips as well.  One of my favorites is from Things We Would Blog entitled, "7 Reasons to See the Bride Before The Ceremony".  It includes my favorite reason: getting the photos out of the way.  I definitely don't want to waste the guests' time between the ceremony and reception by doing whatever pictures we wanted as a couple.  I would still want to do one or two quick poses after the ceremony, but I want to be able to enjoy the reception with everyone else.

Last thing to mention:  I've seen different engagement ring styles, not that I hope to get one anytime soon.  Though I have realized what I like.  Women are portrayed by Hollywood and the media as wanting big, huge diamonds.  I honestly want something practical.  If it's too big, it'll snag on sleeves when getting dressed, I won't want to wear it anywhere and everywhere, and it's just more trouble than it's worth.  Now there is this one ring I found that looks like the Autobots symbol from Transformers.  If I wanted an impractical ring, it would be that one.

Like I said, none of this has anything to do with my current life situation.  It's just nice to think about these things and share them with you wonderful people.  If you have a blog or something you want to share, let me know.
