The Last Night

Tonight is my last night here in Asheville, North Carolina; I will be returning to Idaho tomorrow in order to spend the holidays with my family and plan the best wedding ever. Unfortunately Ethan has to stay here until December 17th for school purposes. No matter my future destination, I will be completely grateful for the experiences and people I collected here. What a beautiful place it is here! I'm going to miss running through the Shire in the last beautiful glow of twilight. I'm going to miss the strangeness of Asheville and the wonderful nerd culture that so graciously accepted me.

However, I'm SO looking forward to the next few months; despite the terrifying bumps that must be flattened out, I'm thrilled about getting married, finding an apartment with my new husband, and starting a new school with a new life. If there's a stranger feeling than being absolutely terrified and anxious while also being ecstatic and antsy, let me know. Life is about to get a lot bigger with a Rebecca McWilliams in the world.

The weirdest concept to grasp is the fact that next time I see my best friend, I will be marrying him. What is weirder than that!? The last night together will be spent watching all three Lord of the Rings movies, playing video games, and eating candy. Our little tradition...AKA every day of our lives. It's so exhilarating how ready I am to be his wife. There is no doubt in the world. Of all the things that I am certain of, this definitely tops them all.
