Monday Thoughts

Today is my last Monday as a (engaged yet) single woman. Right now I live with roommates, other girls. After Saturday, I will have one roommate and he will be my husband.

Weird doesn't begin to cover it.

I am so so so excited, don't you worry. But just because my excitement consumes me and might as well be gushing out of my ears... It is still a foreign thing.

I won't be McKenzie Moser anymore. I will be McKenzie White... Well, McKenzie Moser White as my father would like me to point out since I don't have a middle name. I am grateful I will still be a Moser, too.

I won't live with girl roommates but I will live with one husband-roommate. To which I say HALLELUJAH! I mean, I have loved living with girls but, quite frankly, I can't wait to NOT live with girls anymore.

Every time I visit home, it will be with him. I will always have a companion and it will be wonderful.

We will begin our lives together, as a little family of our own. Which will be weird and hard at times I'm sure, but it will be so fun and we will always be together which makes it okay.

My thoughts this Monday, 5 days before I marry Zachary Monroe White and become McKenzie Moser White are... that trials and tasks of life can be daunting but if you have your best friend by your side, holding your hand and hugging you and kissing you and wrapping his arms around your waist and telling you that they love you, then everything will be more than okay. Everything will be grand.

A Crazy kind of Beautiful.

Since my last post in November, life has taken off at a pace that is seemingly too fast for me to keep up with.

Since November I have:

• Made it to and from San Diego for Thanksgiving safely with a full tummy and heart
• Continued dating Zach.

He picked me up from the airport after San Diego and we went to the Utah Capitol building:

• Drove home (and slid off the road but only once!) to California for Christmas break after finals.
• Spent some much needed family time with my favorite people.

• Finally got to bring the man I love and my other favorite person home to meet my favorite people

Here is a picture of us from when he came to California to stay with my family for a week of break, feel free to collectively "awww":

• Made the trek again back to Utah for the new semester
• On January 24, 2014 outside in the freezing cold at the Provo Temple, my best friend and the man I love asked me in the sweetest way possible to marry him. I (obviously) said (shouted, possibly) YES!

• Floated on cloud 9 for what seemed like forever until I realized how many plans there were involved with a wedding and got down to business.
• Shortly thereafter, flew home with Zachary (him+my family/being home=best thing EVER) for my younger brother's, Matt, farewell. Matt, or Elder Moser, is serving a two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Argentina! He gave an amazing talk and touched many people.
• Flew back out AGAIN to Utah, spent a few wonderful and cherished days with Matt before we dropped him off at the MTC here in Provo.

•  Took our engagement pictures! I love all of them, they are seriously so great but here are a few (or maybe a few more than a few) of my favorites:

  

 

        

• We have registered (here  and here are our registries, in case you're curious), completed some other wedding plans and are now in the process of sending out invitations!
• Amidst all this craziness I decided to train for a half marathon. I know. I am crazy but it has actually been extremely rewarding! This past Saturday Zach and I ran 6 miles! 
• Just this past Saturday, March 29, my wonderful Mother-in-Law to be threw me the loveliest bridal shower complete with yummy brunch, a journal for advice, a jar of date ideas and more. It was so fun and I felt so, so incredibly loved.

I can't believe it is already April 2nd. Do you know what that means? That means I get married... not in two months or even next month BUT THIS MONTH. Zach and I get married THIS MONTH. And THAT is about as crazy beautiful as it gets.
