I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving break!!

So, today I decided that jerrytravis.com is going to get a name change. As of 7:12pm on November 10, 2005, jerrytravis.com will become beccakimdotcomcuzjerrytravisnolongerpoststhingsonhereandhisfriendsareprobablygettingtiredofreadingmystupidrandomness.com. And, as a side-note, and because I’m really excited about it and am counting down the hours, I now have less than 13 hours before I head home to see my sweety!!!

Trav came to visit me this weekend at UK. Nothing unusual about that. Happens every time I’m on staff, right? Well, this weekend we had both geared ourselves up to spend the weekend apart as I studied for a test and Trav wrote a paper. Much to my surprise and delite, Trav decided that he’d come see me Saturday evening. Every second I spend with Trav is unforgettable, but something about the unexpectedness of his visit made this visit the best yet. Sure, it was short because he came yesterday evening and had to leave today. Sure, it was, to say the least, weird, because he stayed in my room to write his paper and we were so close, yet so far away from each other while I was working. Sure, it was too hot to cuddle, but isn’t it always? I live in Jewell Hall. But with all of these things considered, I wouldn’t change this weekend for anything in the world.

I’m coming home today and I can not wait. After days of agonizing (Did I spell that right? Who knows?) over whether or not to skip, I have talked myself into attending my economics class tomorrow. The main reason for doing so is so that on Nov. 11 (2 weeks from now) I won’t feel so bad when I miss econ to spend the entire day with my baby!!! This week has been a whole lot less stressful, with midterms being over and all. My next task is to write an essay for my social work application, due Tuesday!

The wedding is FINALLY starting to come together. It’s not all just a bunch of ideas any more. Trav and I have agreed on things we want and don’t want and are starting to finalize plans to order things. I’ve ordered my dress, and purchased my tiara. Trav and I saw the church for the first time this weekend and it’s absolutely beautiful. I’ve done nothing but look at wedding stuff on the internet all day…there are so many beautiful things it’s hard to decide on what will be the final product. After ordering my dress and seeing the church, I realized that the next 7 months will fly by, as have the last 5, and I’ve started to get nervous, yet very excited about our big day!! All the stress of planning a wedding will be well worth it though, because after it’s all said and done I get to spend the rest of my life with the one I’ve always prayed for. And for that end result, I’d do anything.

I found this on facebook and read it to Travis. Automatically, we looked at each other, because before I even finished, we both knew it described him better than anything either of us could ever say: “Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead..who wants to show you off to the world when you are in a t-shirt and sweats… who calls back even though you just hung up on him…who holds your hand in front of his friends..who thinks you’re just as pretty without makeup..one who lets you know without having to say it, that he loves you and knows how lucky he is to have you..the one who turns to his friends and says “that’s her.”

It took a while to find him, but he’s worth the wait.
