I've been spending a lot of time alone lately, as Ben is pretty much too sick and weak to keep me company. He actually got sick about a week and a half ago, and had just been getting worse and worse. Of course, it seems like anytime you have a stomach bug it couldn't get much worse ... So, I'll go over to say hi to him at night and I read scriptures to him and then we pray, but other than that, we haven't really been able to hang out much! It's kinda boring, I admit, but I'm doing okay. I just hope that he'll be well enough to leave for NY in just a few short days ... He says he doesn't care if he has to carry around a bucket in the temple. He's not going to wait any longer to marry me! If there's one thing I've learned about this whole wedding thing, it's that nothing really matters except being there in the temple on that day. All the rest, it's for pomp and circumstance. So whatever happens, I am excited to be sealed to my companion and best friend in 8 days.
Having had so much time to myself, I've done a pretty good job of getting everything in our apartment in order. I have unpacked nearly all the boxes, and found a place for most of my things. It is SOOOO nice to have my own place and be able to arrange it however I want, do laundry whenver I want, have the bathroom all to myself, and know that any dishes in the sink are mine (or Ben's) and I am responsible for them. I have really enjoyed this whole homemaking business.
Kisya is adjusting pretty well. There isn't as much space for her to run around and there isn't as much sunlight, but she seems to be doing okay. I set up her cat tree so she gets a little bit of exercise climbing up that occasionally. I put it right next to a window so she could climp up and look out. I'm trying to leave more of the blinds and curtains open so there's light in here. I came home 2 days ago and it was so dark in here but it was only 7pm. I thought, "poor Kisya! She hasn't had any sunlight all day!" I figured it might get depressing for her if I kept leaving all the blinds shut. Not to mention, I like windows too and I get depressed when there's no sunlight.
Ben and I are supposed to be leaving on Tuesday evening. We'll see how that goes. I have a feeling we may just leave on Wednesday morning to give everyone an opportunity to have a little bit more sleep. I think if he's still not 100% I may have to do most of the driving, and it's a LOT of driving.
I can't believe how fast this has all gone. I AM excited to get married. I'm so grateful for this last week which has been a blessing in more ways than one. For starters, I've realized just how much I love my future husband. It's hard to imagine loving him more than I do now, but I know, as they say ... this is only the beginning.
