I'm back for another update!! It's been a while! I had to make sure I added my wedding updates! The photos still have not been finalized, but I am looking forward to making a great post gushing about what a fairytale it all was. It was really hard in the planning phase. The past few months have not been easy; diabetes complications have put me in the hospital a few times, unable to walk. I always dreamed the wedding planning would involve a lot more brunches with mimosas and besties than it actually did. While at first I was really disappointed, I stopped wanting a big princess wedding at some point. Through all the BS, Adrian has been by my side, and it feels like we just grew closer instead of getting distracted by superficial wedding details. At some point, I just wanted to marry him, and nothing else really mattered to me. I am lucky to have had amazing bridesmaids and my mom to make sure I had beautiful details regardless (they are truly incredible). I felt like the world's laziest bride, and I was so nervous that we forgot something and that none of my family (love them to death, but they are crazy) does anything stupid in front of his family, so the night before was not awesome but still pretty enjoyable given the anxiety. It was perfect. I stopped imagining it a while ago because it felt like I lost control of the planning, but it turned out perfect. I think I would probably still feel that way even if it was a complete disaster. So far, married life has been good to me, but I knew it would be.

I am still in school but almost done, just a few more credits now. I have even started gathering some clients as a freelance designer (all in the beauty space as planned). It feels like things are in slow motion right now. Almost at the finish line of school but not quite there yet, then I will be able to really pursue building my profile as a designer. Right now life is good but quiet. Most of our friends have moved for the Navy and the shifting social dynamic hasn't been an easy adjustment for both of us. I am bummed but now I'm married to my best friend, so I think as long as we stick together it will all be okay. Health-wise I also feel in a bit of a rut. I am not sick right now, but I know I am not as healthy as I could be. I'm not sure how to feel either because a part of me wonders if this is just how it's going to continue to be as I age. The wedding was pretty distracting but it did remind me of all the wonderful things I have to live for and I want to feel my best so I can live these moments at my best. I want my memories never to be shaded with the annoyance of a cough or the pain of low blood sugar. Maybe it's going to be a good thing to have less social time, I can focus on this goal without worrying I am going to go out and make decisions that don't help me reach that goal. I'll be back for another update soon! (also one of these pictures came out wonky but it's still kinda cute though!)
