Less than 100 hours to go!
Well, This might be my last blog post as a single man.
I am really looking forward to my life ahead with Lori. I realize that I am incredibly blessed to be with her. Lori, if you see this before the wedding, I love you tremendously... I want to be yours forever!
It has been interesting as the date has approached. I now understand why people prepare for their wedding a year in advance. But I can't say that I recommend waiting so long... I'm certainly glad that we aren't waiting any longer than this. But it has been a little taxing. Lori's time has been stretched incomprehensibly while I've had to continue dedicating a lot of time at RIT to a quarter that has had my heaviest teaching load in about 5 years! But it looks like everything will come together. We've been learning new things about how we both uniquely think and communicate.
I have the unfortunate tendency to think outloud and process a lot of details before making a decision, while Lori has a tendency to see a big-picture solution quickly while having to wait for me to finish processing it bit by bit before ultimately coming to a similar, if not the same conclusion. (This, interestingly enough, is exactly the opposite of the way that we eat food!). Lori more often sees a forest, and I more often see trees. Together, we will learn how to grow stronger as a couple. It is these differences that I believe will make us strong... Because we are committed to working around them and learning how to make the most of it, as opposed to getting irritated and dropping the subject because we feel frustrated.
Well... That's it for this posting. Thank you to everyone who has offered their good wishes, their prayers, their support, their advice, their assistance, and their love! We greatly appreciate it and pretty soon, maybe there will some new content at the venerable wheeland.com :)
-Andy.
