Countdown: Things are Getting Bittersweet

In negative 2 days (otherwise known as Monday): My new glasses arrived!
I have been putting off getting my new prescription for years, and finally went down to the Warby Parker HQ and picked me out a new pair.

In one week:  Scott's birthday!  And we'll be the same age once again...for 8 more months.
I hope he dresses like this for the occasion.

In 12 days:  The Bachelorette finale
I'm on Team Puppets, but I'll be happy (just not AS happy) if it goes the other way as well!

In 20 days: Home for a visit!  My sister and I are going on a roadtrip that will involve 18 hours in the car together and a visit to all our grandparents and our parents.  She is this excited.
This will forever be my favorite Kelsey picture.
In 27 days:  It will be 3 years since this day.
 It has flown by in the absolute greatest way.

In 4 months and 5 days:  Breaking Dawn Part 2
I can't add an exclamation point behind that in good conscience, because while I used to looooove Twilight, now I mostly just can't wait for this movie to come out so I can go see it at midnight, and then wash my hands of the whole thing.
I find this so disturbing.
In 5 and a half months:  Christmas!
I already started looking up plane tickets :)

In 10 and a half months:  Scott Bryant, DDS
 I can't believe this is now less than a year away.  It's simultaneously so sweet and so bitter.

In one year:  We'll be moved away from this incredible place that has treated us so well...
and settled somewhere brand new!  
The scary part:  we have no idea (yet) where that somewhere new will be.

In 38ish years:  retirement

  3. This countdown was great! I countdown to things all the time...and I love that you even included retirement!
    And I know I'm going to have to see Breaking Dawn when it comes out, strangely, because of my husband. I hadn't seen it at all till we got married, but then he made me watch the first two movies to catch me up on what was happening before number 3 came out, and he had me see that one too. He's much more of a fan than I am! Though I think he said that even he is over it now but still has to see how everything turns out.
