This time next week I will officially be Erika Davison. Everyone keeps asking am I getting nervous but really I am just ready for it to be over and us looking at the pictures. Is that bad to say? I think I feel this way because I never really thought I would get married and if we are looking at the wedding pictures then it will have really happened. I am marrying someone I have known practically my whole life and we have been friends since I was about 14 and he was in college. Ben and I are the cliche of opposites attract, but in the end we balance each other out. One of the great things about our relationship is we were friends for so long before dating. We had a strong foundation to build on. I know the exact moment when I knew for sure I was falling for him. I had came over to watch him throw a pot. It was something I was doing often he would create beautiful pots and we would laugh and talk for hours. Then one night I saw him in a whole different way and I knew I wanted us to be more than just friends. We figured out the transition from friends to friends that are dating and within eight months of that we are getting married. So that is it in a nutshell I am marrying someone I have known forever, had a crush on when I was too young and he was too old, we were friends for years, and now everything is just right.
