...and so it beings...

FINALLY!  Bernie and I had our second meeting with the priest that is marrying us!

We met with the ceremony wedding coordinator this morning and then with Father Matya.  Seems like everything is coming more into a reality.  After talking about it for awhile with a couple of friends, it just sort of really sank in..."AHHH!!! I'm getting MARRIED!!"

After today's meetings, my mind has just been popping with new ideas and new things I want to do or add into the wedding ceremony or reception.  Everything is finally coming together.

Bernie left Lincoln today to go back to Grand Island.  He enjoys his time here, but I'm sure he's getting sick of the commute.  It's really only an hour and a half drive, but after awhile, it adds up.  Next weekend, he has Drill so I'll be going to him.  I love G.I. so it's going to be a good time.  Even though, Bernie will be gone most of the day, I'll be job searching for my 400 hour internship I have to complete this summer.  Maybe I'll work on some more wedding things with Lissy.

I'm excited about this summer!  I'll be living in Grand Island with Lissy.  The boys (John and Bernie) will have left for training in Texas. (They'll be there from May until the end of July and then they'll be off to Afghanistan) 

Bernie and I were just going over our "4 year plan."  It's really not your typical newly wed lifestyle, but it's...us.     Even though this isn't 4 years, it's the beginning. Our timeline is kinda like this:
April 9-WE GET MARRIED!
April 11-Leave for HONEYMOON!
May 7ish- We move to Grand Island.
End of May- Bernie and John deploy :(
*Live in Grand Island with Lissy and Baby all summer
Mid Aug- I begin my last college semester!
December- I graduate and get "real" job :)
January-Begin new apartment search!
May- BERNIE COMES BACK!!!!!!
SUMMER- Spent going on a vacation as NEWLY WEDS
Mid Aug- Bernie starts school again...Ba ha ha
*I'll be working and he'll be studying until he graduates!

Ahh...how exciting it is to become Mrs. Nicola...
