GREAT Expectations

so i am starting to figure out that there is a whole heckuva lot that goes into planning what the aisle is going to look like when I walk down it come August. Flower petals? white chairs? benches? knee deep white-rose petals? of course ;) ahhHHHH

and i thought that was stressful?

drew and i have started our pre-marital classes. we meet once a week for 10 weeks.

i literally have never been so stressed out in my entire life. i think we have fought more in the last 14 days then we have in the last 5 years :)

now. i was not gonna be that naive little girl who thought that marriage was a fairy-tale ended and after I was a Mrs. life would just be PErFeCt and all my problems would disappear.

so when we got to the chapter titled "Great Expectations," I took a deep breath and just KNEW we were going to nail it. Answers matching, easy discussions. bam. bam. bam. :)

so yes. of course when you read these statements, you think WELL, DUH. I am a modern-day, well educated woman with my own life and of COURSE I will not fall victim to these common myths. psshhh. who do you think I am?

umm. even DESPITE my willing myself to scream FALSE next to every single statement, I had no idea that my heart was trying to tell me that wait just a second. I DO have expectations that need to be addressed :)

first, I wanted to give you a little glimpse of some of our homework questions. We answer them SEPARATELY first, then go over them with our significant others.

So yes. you have some homework. answer these random questions. not on what you think your man wants, or what you think you SHOULD want or how you SHOULD answer, but go through these couple questions and answer :)

for instance? at first i thought, "what a STUPID question. who cares?"
then we discussed it... ;)

so go ahead. answer these...

no big deal right? piece of cake. so i thought too... ;)
