One Month

One month and I will be a married woman. How crazy is that? Where did the time go? Didn’t I just post that it was 100 days away…how did that become 30 days so quickly?

Let me just say that I am excited. Overwhelmed? Yes. Nervous? You bet. But definitely excited.

Last night we had our first pre-marital counseling session. We had to take an online test a few weeks ago…and let me just say we were so nervous that the pastor was going to tell us we were incompatible. But….much to our delight he said we were a very good match for each other! We talked about our strengths and “growth areas” as a couple and had some laughs…and some touching red-eyed-try-not-to-cry moments too (we held it together!). We left the pastor’s office feeling uplifted, happy, and excited for our marriage. We both feel that our pastor will help us create a wonderful and personal ceremony. The only problem is I think we both might cry through it….I just hope I’m not a blubbering hot mess. We’ll have to work on that one.

    This is such an exciting time! I am so happy that you are receiving counseling and working on establishing a strong marriage from the start. There will be lots of tears at your wedding, but that’s OK, they will by joyful tears.

    Love you,
    Mom

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
