Aaron is amazing, have I ever written that?
I have a bit frowny because there's this silence between us as he continues forth his deployment under the high seas. I'm so excited for his journeys in the blue water but I can't help but miss conversing with him. The light hearted banter, interjecting teasing jokes and subtle quips at one another over 12 plus hours apart. Not even distance could deter us from loving each other.
But the best part is just how loving Aaron is to me. I feel so very special, so special indeed.
After a morning of hectic testing, quizzing, reading, writing and planning on a Friday afternoon with my first graders, I just wanted a little break to mentally check out. So while chugging through the math lesson, in walks in the office secretary carrying a large vase of flowers, beautiful and colorful. I thought they were from school since it's one of my last days there but the co-op teaching just shrugged so she urged me to read the card.
Lo and behold, it reads:
Gloria you are beautiful. I will miss you everyday. Water and take care of me like you would take care of Aaron. Put me someplace where he will be on your mind, sunlight. Your seaside sailor.
My wonderful, Aaron. You are amazing. I was so surprised!

crunch time
Glo here.
I can totally feel the crunch time as it quickly engulfs me. My wedding website has a countdown, displaying the exact day and time left until the wedding. W-Day is what I shall call it. I'm at the home stretch of this monstrous planning process but am so pleased with the results.
Looking back when Aaron and I got engaged, I had wished he could organize wedding details with me but he was quickly thrown into deployment with the rest of his seamates. My loving Aaron has been amazing, even from afar. He's been a great listener during my Glo-meltdowns and a wonderful reality check when the to-do list became too much to handle.
As a planner at heart, I simply want every detail to fall as it should, perfectly. But through this journey of email correspondence, organizing, listing, mailing, responding, purchasing, scoping and mailing checks, I have learned much about relationships with people. The planning process isn't simply about putting things on paper, devising a beautiful reception or framing a gorgeous ceremony. It's about the simple fact that I am about to give my life to a wonderful man named Aaron.
The wedding is just the visual part of our unification if I simply left out the emotional aspect of the wedding. Driving to work as I listen to samples of wedding precession, procession, father-daughter, first dance music in a panic to select the one that encompasses everything I want to vocalize, I realize I have the rest of my life to express that with my loved ones.
My wedding shouldn't be about encapsulating my entire relationship with Aaron, my family, my friends, my in-laws, my college friends, my long-time friends, etc. It's about throwing a party so everyone can celebrate the beginning of a long journey with the man I love so very much.
Looking back at Aaron and my dating history, we have come a long way from young people with hearts to implant goodness and love with people, places and experiences to a man and woman joining together to strengthen that gift together. Aaron is a fantastic person and I knew that from the very first moment I met him. He'd swear he didn't remember me, having been fixated on a friend of mine at the time, but I never forgot those beautiful colbalt-blue eyes and the laugh that made you plaster a huge smile.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Aaron at the end of the aisle looking dapper as usual.
Cheers to wedding planning and our marriage!

update!
Hello readers,
Glo here. It's been awhile since I've posted and it's only because I've been so swamped with student teaching and completing my teaching certification. I am officially teacher certified so now I'm back into the wedding planning bandwagon. Much of my planning is in sync and just awaiting the approach time to execute. My mom, sister and I are constantly on the phone with one another to toss about ideas that may work.
If you have seen my previous posts, please keep in mind the wedding ceremony will be held at the Largo Central Park instead of Phillipe Park as stated on an example of my wedding invite in a previous post. The wedding is at the Largo Central Park in Largo, Florida.
