Shortly after getting engageed I saw a pin on pinterest that caught my eye. The person gave their H a journal on the day of the wedding that she had written in throughout their engagement. I took that idea and ran with it. I decided to write to my FI in the journal EVERY day from the one year to go mark up to the big day. If I could I just want to say I encourage everyone to try this for one reason or another in their life. Some days it was easy and some days it was a challenge. Some days I was mad at him and didn't want to write to him so I put that in the journal. The experience itself brought me to a different level in our relationship. Whether he could tell or not(since he didn't know about the journal) writing to him everyday brought me closer to him and made me appreciate our relationship more. On our wedding day I presented the journal to him during our reveal and he was at a loss for words, very emotional. Since the wedding he has read through a couple random pages and we talk about it. One page was all about things that made me laugh. I said that even though I hate it when he pees with the door open it makes me laugh because we fake banter about it while he does it and his responses make me bust a gut. (things like "we got robbed and all they stole was the bathroom door") The other night sure enough he peed with the door open and when I yelled to him he said that he was only doing it because he knows it makes me laugh. LOL Just wanted to share this great experience with my fellow knotties and say that if journaling is something you are considering I would say you won;t regret it, just be ready for the challenge.
