Organized Chaos

Where has this month gone? It's hard to believe that it's almost July! Life is moving too fast this summer! Scott and I are both extremely busy, which is adding to the incredible speed that our lives have taken on. Our daily lives have become overwhelming, full of organized chaos that seems to be taking over. We are now one week away from moving into our new apartment! My, already small apartment, is becoming even smaller as their are now boxes every where! I have given up on cleaning it, as it's just too hard to keep a boxed fill apartment any thing but messy! After moving nearly every year since I've been out here (I did a 2 year stay at the same apartment in Fort Collins) I am becoming a pro at packing boxes. However, this year is slightly different, as we are merging 2 house holds into one! Questions of who dishes are we going to use, do we keep certain things knowing that we will probably be getting a replacement for them after the wedding, do we donate the boxes of stuff that we just don't need any more or try to sell them have been coming up in our nightly conversations. Though time is on our side, I have 3 weeks after we move to be completely out of my place and Scott has almost 2 months, it's still been a struggle to get everything ready! We will both be very happy to be living under one roof and are extremely excited to finally have "our place".

It's funny to think that it's been one year since I went home for the 4th of July weekend and Scott and I started on this incredible journey together. So much has changed and happened over the last year, that it's hard to imagine what life was like before all of this! We have grow so close to one another in the past 12 months! I thought he was my best friend before, but now I've realized that he's my sole mate. I can't even begin to picture my life without Scott! This past year has been hard, but it has brought us closer together and made us believe that we can truly get through anything that life throws at us. We have a strong respect for each other and a deep love that will help us get through anything. I look forward to the next 12 months as more changes will occur. For starters, in less than 11 months I will be Mrs. Greenfield (how weird is that!?!) and I will graduate and be done with school forever! I'm sure there are also many things ahead for us in the next year that we have no idea of today. I can't wait to continue this journey with Scott by my side.

As far as a wedding update goes, we are continuing our search for the perfect caterer and cake baker. Once we cross those off our list, we will move on to "wedding party attire". We've started registering for household items, something that I am quickly becoming addicted to! We also have received our Save-The-Date cards so we are busy gathering addresses and addressing them to send out.

It's my hope that life slows down a bit after we move, however, I don't see that happening. We knew this was going to be a busy summer, so we are trying to use the little down time that we do have to enjoy the Colorado summer. :-) We hope you all are having a wonderful summer!

Hugs & Kisses,
Heather and Scott
