Today was a roller-coaster of emotions. First Ben and I went to coffee with Elissa and The Phi. It was so great to get to finally meet them!
 
Phi was really cute ("What's an illustrator?") and really talkative which Elissa said was unusual--it usually takes her a while to warm up to strangers. I completely offered myself for babysitting, since APU gives me so few hours and because this family is obviously doing something great with this kid--I think I'd have more fun babysitting her than she would being babysat lol. Also, right after we pulled away from the coffee house I realized we didn't get a pic of me, Elissa and Phi. I was disappointed but hopefully this won't be the last time we see each other =)

Then we went cake tasting. Beyond being completely overwhelming, I can't have chocolate on the outside because of temperature? I don't really know but it wasn't doable. So I don't know. I just don't feel like I'm the right type of girl for weddings. The marriage is the most important thing to me, and spending so much money on a day that is one day out of my whole life just seems frivolous. I've never cared about appearances or anything like that so it's hard for me to give a crap about various details. Hope it turns out ok and I hope I'm not sick of it before it gets here.

Ben's Spring Break

Ben comes home in 5 days! He flies in late Thursday night and will be here until 3/24. I'm so excited to have him home with me for a few days. It's weird to me to think he's never met anyone from the hospital I've been working with for 6 months, and hasn't seen my apartment for more than  few minutes. 

I look forward to walking around the school as a couple, something I very rarely get to do. My anxiety goes down to a 1/10 when he comes around. 

189 more days until our wedding!
