48 hours from now, Ben and I will be married people, and my single life will come to an end. It's about stinkin' time!

Here are things I'm happy to be leaving behind:

Singles Wards. We can all admit it isn't where we want to hang out forever. After being in family wards/branches on my mission I remembered how much better family wards are. And, while I had a good time in my ward, it just wasn't as exciting as I hoped it would be.
Not having someone to do everything with. I'll have a partner for everything! Since Ben likes to spend so much time with me, I'm sure I can convince him to come with me when I have errands to run, we can go running together, we'll be able to go to church together.
Having to say goodbye every single night (we got tired of it about 6 months ago!). Ben knows this is my least favorite time of the day. He has started telling me I can't pout when we say goodbye. I've never been a fan of goodbyes anyway, so when we can finally say goodnight and turn of the lights, it will be one happy day!
Lonely nights because Ben is studying or doing assignments. Since Ben has a futon, it is our guest bed in Ben's study room. I can go in there and read while he is slaving away at reading and papers. If I get bored and want to do something else, he'll still be in the same apartment as me!
Being the only one in the house getting ready in the morning. I made Ben promise he would get up with me in the morning. I like the quietness of early mornings, but it has been really hard to get up and be excited to go to work when my cousins are all still sleeping and will sleep until I've been at work for an hour or so.
Driving 30 minutes to see each other and then another 30 to go home. It's been quite costly on the old wallet and is a big factor in when we can get together and how much time we can spend together. If Ben comes over he loses an hour of studying time. If I go to Ben's, I lose sleep. So we'll be getting an hour of our day back!

All in all, yay to us getting married. We'll have pictures up as soon as we get settled back after all our fun travels.

PS-Not that this has anything to do with this post, but do you recognize what color that is? I'm pretty sure it is puce, and I was excited when they had it as an option.
