It's Thursday!!!!

Eric is on his way....thank goodness!  It was so hard to watch him leave last week so I've been waiting for today since the moment he left!

As far as wedding planning goes, I haven't done much this week.  My guest list is getting closer to being finished.  I'm so scared of forgetting someone!!  Next I get to find addresses for everyone.  I wish I could just put an invite on facebook and call it done hahahaha.  I'm hoping to go look at dresses not next weekend but the next.  I found one on david's bridal website that I think looks like something I would like but I really hate to buy it offline so I'm hoping they'll have it or something similar at the store.  If we don't find anything here, we're going to go to Tulsa. Someone told us about a bridal outlet over there.  While Eric is here this weekend, I think we're going to try and get a few things marked off the list.  Not sure what all that will be yet though :)  The more I talk to people, the more I'm liking the idea of going on a cruise for our honeymoon.  I know Eric wants to and I was unsure of the idea at first but its sounding like a lot of fun now!

Um, I suppose that's all for now.  I've gotta find something to do while I wait for eric to get here.  It's probably gonna be like 2 and half more hours.  I may take a nap, or clean, or play on the computer, or who knows really!

Thx 4 readin and feel free to comment!

No turning back

I went to NWACC today and had a meeting with the nursing director and explained my decision to withdrawl from the program.  She was a little bit sad.  I had to assure her that I had thought the decision through and that Eric was a good guy and then she told me she was very happy for me, just sad to see me leave.  I am now enrolled in College Chemistry 1 (ahhhhhhhh :((), Music Appreciation (had to have a fine arts credit), Lifetime Fitness, Medical Terminology, and Electronic Medical Records.  Good thing is that I'll only be in class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, leaving myself plenty of time babysit hopefully, maybe find another job (oh yeah, im done at starbucks officially.  sad..kinda), and PLAN A WEDDING....YAAAAAAY still completely excited about this!!!! just 164 days and 14 hours!!!!!!

That's all that really happened today.  Was a pretty blah day.  I'm missing Eric lots....I mean LOTS.  Looking forward to seeing him Thursday night and getting to spend the weekend with him.  Excited about having dinner with my family plus some..."extended family :D"

Well, I suppose that's all I have to say.  Gonna talk to my future hubby a little bit longer then get some sleep.  I'm still not 100% recovered from being sick last week.  Hoping for a good night of sleep tonight and a relaxing day tomorrow and hopefully I'll be close to 100% by Thursday!

Night y'all

1+1=1

I got to thinking today about the whole part where we are gonna take one life and add it to one life and get one life out of it.  I'm so excited!  But I also fear my selfishness wanting to interfere.  How does this work?  Thankfully, God knows my excitement and my fear and He answered this question in Eric and I's devotional tonight (thanks mom!)  First, in 1 Corinthians 10:24, God commands that "no one should seek their own good, but the good of others" and then in Philippians 2:3-4, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.  Rather, IN HUMILITY value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others."  So ALL I have to do is with complete humbleness, hold Eric's interests completely above mine.  Sounds easy, right......okay maybe not.  But, I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength!!!

Have I mentioned how excited I am?????  Only 165 days, 13 hours and 20 minutes :D

Eric is starting to look into houses for us to look at when I'm there next weekend.  I will also be meeting with an advisor at Dallas County Community College to get the admissions process started for school next fall.  I'm feeling very confident and satisfied and excited about my decisions for this semester.  I'll still be full time but it shouldn't be so stressful that I don't get to enjoy the process of planning this wedding!

One part I'm ready to have done...the guest list!  I'm so scared of forgetting someone.  I never knew how many people that I know!!!  One part I can't wait for is registering for gifts.  I don't remember why but I don't think thats top priority but I'm still really excited to get to do it hehe :D

Um, I think that's it for tonight.  I've got a busy day tomorrow ending with my last shift at Starbucks :(

Hope everyone had a fantastic Monday!

Decisions

This last week and half have been completely bombarded with lots of decisions to make.  I made a fairly major decision today.  I will not be taking nursing classes this semester.  After talking to the people at Dallas County Community College this morning (where I will be applying next fall), they said it is a rare occurrence for someone to transfer from one nursing program to another, so more than likely I will be starting over.  Good news is that I will have this semester to do the prerequisites I need to apply there and once I get in there (hopefully in the fall or spring), it will only take a year because they have an accelerated program (aka no summer break).  so I will only be extending my college time by a few months...totally worth it!

I'm excited.  I was so productive this morning that my to do list is basically done for the day.  Hoping to get to spend some time with my brother lately.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Wow!!!

My head hurts.  I spent quite a while tonight talking out wedding stuff with mom and my brain is overwhelmed!  I'm not stressing, but I am kinda worried about forgetting something.

Idea's for engagement picture places: Compton gardens (especially if it snows!), wampler's farm, the chapel, tanyard creek/waterfall (if it has rained).

Guest list is started.  I've got alphabetized notecards with last names on them so i can keep track of names as I come up with more

Going to get the building use form turned in this week to make sure we actually have somewhere to have the wedding!

We've talked to both pastors about their roles.  Need to define what exactly we want in the ceremony.

I've started taking prenatal vitamins (no, I'm not pregnant) and biotin to get my hair/nails healthy.

I think that's it.

I'm gonna take the rest of the evening off.  Worst Cooks in America premiers tonight and I wanna watch it :)

Gonna start dieting and exercising this week...gotta look good for the big day and ultimately for my hubby :D

2 weeks

Ugh, I've dreaded this day for...well like two weeks.  Eric was able to have two weeks off work for the holidays and spent all of that here with me.  We've been together at least a few hours out of every day.  We've gotten engaged, celebrated Christmas, rang in the new year, welcomed his new baby nephew into the world, seen a couple movies. eaten lots of good food, baked cookies, gotten sick, almost recovered, done some wedding planning, and just enjoyed being with each other.  wow, we accomplished a lot and I really can't say it went but fast, but regardless, I'm laying here watching him sleep next to me (poor man is tired, gonna have to wake him up shortly and send him home) thinking about how hard the next 168 days are going to be.  Every other weekend, that's about all we get to see each other.  Hopefully, in January, I will get to go there at least one weekend.  Regardless, the weeks in between are hard, really hard.  I miss him.  I miss him holding me.  I miss the joy he brings to my heart.  (tears are swelling up and he's still right here...ugh)

But really, that's just a bunch of emotional talk....

2:00-the time of the wedding.

That's all the planning we got done today I do believe

haha

Okay, so now i gotta wake him up and send him off so we can make it to church in the morning.

So Much!!!!

I have so much to talk about so lets go :D

It's official....we will be getting married on June 18, 2011

It feels so accomplished to have that down haha

In case anyone is curious...that's 169 days....woooowwwww!

I decided that I will be having a maid and matron of honor...because I can...and because i love them both very much :D

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!! 2011 is looking to be an amazing year for me :D I turn 21 in 2 months and....oh yeah, I'M GETTING MARRIED (in case you hadn't figured that one out hehehehehehe). I love it, every once in a while, eric and I will just like at each other and be like we're getting married :D I don't think we're quite over the newness of that thought, which is great.

Resolutions........1) My primary focus this year is to grow myself as a person spiritually, emotionally, and mentally to be prepared to fill the role of a wife. I was thinking about writing this blog while I was driving and the thought in my mind was that I think one of the things God will be working on me the most about is my submissiveness. I believe I can do it, but I'm not sure it will always be easy, but with God, all things are possible!!!! 2) Lose weight so I can look great on my wedding day and just be healthier over all. 3) Stay focused on school so I can finish ASAP. 4) Plan this wedding the way I want it without stressing too much and just enjoying myself and the good times.

I think thats it for resolutions for now

So we've got the when, where, pastors, wedding party. I think next, we're getting marriage counseling arranged, guest list made, start looking for houses, picking out a photographer, getting engagement photos done, picking out music for the ceremony..........oh yeah, we did pick out colors- black and blue (lightish blue)

That's all I can think of for now. I know there's so much more but we're just trying to take it one chunk at a time, we do have 169 days..ha. I have 2 days of work left. I'm currently employed as a dogsitter and i've got two babysitting jobs next week. Monday, I start (random thought from the tv....we need to have board games in our house :D ) looking into schools. Oh yeah, and Sunday I gotta see Eric off :((((((((((((((((((((((((( not gonna be fun at all. Good thing is he'll be back next weekend and then I'm going there weekend after that. I'm excited to go there. We are hopefully going to see RiverDance and look at houses and hopefully visit a school or two!

Okay, wow. thats a lot. Hope everyone had a fantastic celebration of the new year.

Happy 2011
