A fresh start!

I'm getting more and more excited about the reality that I'm going to have a whole new fresh start.  A new town, a new home, a new setting, a new school, a HUSBAND :D, my own family

At the beginning, it was all really scary.  I'm not the most amazing person at handling change.  But things keep happening around here, some good, some bad, that have made me realize that a fresh start is the one and only thing thats going to help me grow as a person and move on in life!

I'm excited!!!!!

So today, we took a big step.  I took daddy to see my dress today.  He loved it and put the down payment on it :)))))  It's officially mine....well once we pay it off he he

Okay, so i got a full day of babysitting four awesome, energetic kids that probably aren't gonna let me sleep in tomorrow so i should probably get some sleep sometime soon..

Probably about time :D

I FOUND MY DRESS :D  YAAAAAAY!  It was so awesome cuz i put it on and it was just like I don't want to try on anymore, this is it.  I can't say anymore because Eric reads this blog :)

Um, I don't think there's much else to say.  I miss Eric like crazy.  No other planning has been occurring as of this week....although i'm sure there is something i need to be doing.  But yeah.  that's it

Snowed in

Today has been both good and bad (note: i say today, as in thursday, not friday which it currently is 4:44 in the morning but its still thursday to me because i'm still awake: end note)

The good: The snow is pretty.  I got to sleep in.  I got to stay in my pajamas all day.  I didn't have to go my chemistry class.  I didn't have to go workout for my fitness class.  I had a day to get everything organized for my online classes and I got some homework and studying done.

The bad: I spent a good portion of the day trying to figure out if, when, and how it was going to be safe for Eric to get here and get home.  Who the heck knows what the weather is gonna do (God) so who the heck has control of the situation (God) so who the heck doesn't have control of the situation and shouldn't have spent her day worrying about it (me).  Okay, I get it.  End result is that Eric will be heading this way around 9 tomorrow morning and hopefully, by the time he gets here, the highways will be clear and the backroads around here will be clear(ish).  There's snow supposed to come in on Sunday, last I heard, PM.  Just hoping it stays that way or he will have to leave early.  Another bad point was that I was supposed to start my Electronic Health Records class today which I was actually looking forward to but of course it got cancelled as well.  Not a huge deal.  Another one....I felt really bad because when Eric and I were on the phone tonight, I really was just kind of out of it and didn't really say much.  I want him here not there and I'm mad at the snow for stopping him from getting here.  Hopefully, he'll make it here safely tomorrow and I'll snap out of it :)  Another bad is that I haven't been real active today so I'm not tired like at all....and its almost 5 in the morning.  After I finish this, I'm going to lay down for a bit and see if I can't sleep.  If I can't, I'm going to get up and clean my bathroom (per mi madre's request)

I'm hoping to be able to make it to the gym tomorrow.  I have delayed the start of my losing weight endeavor yet another day....and with less than five months to go until the wedding, its just not acceptable!

As far as wedding planning goes, we've got some minor things to take care of this weekend together like the building request for and picking out invitations (okay, so maybe that parts not minor).  I, however, will be taking a chunk out of the planning on saturday....WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING :D  I'm not sure if I'm more excited about finding my dress or getting to spend time with some of my favorite people!

Well, I believe I have said what I need to say and now I must try to sleep.  Mind over matter :D

Long Week

Sorry to any avid readers of mine for not updating this week.  It really was quite a boring week.  No wedding planning going on and very little work.  Thankfully, it was a great weekend that I was very prepared for.  I left Thursday for Texas.  Got there with not much trouble (just a little traffic), played racquetball with eric and his friends (good experience, but kinda funny), then we had dinner with his parents.  On Friday, Eric had to work so I took the day to spend some time researching colleges.  That was find.  Didn't find out much other than where the college was.  There are three campuses that I'm going to apply to and go from there.  That night, we went to Cici's for dinner and then we went to see Riverdance....SO MUCH FUN!  It's amazing what those people can do with their feet!!!!  Saturday, we went to meet his Grandma which was nice.  She is really sweet.  We then just spent some time together talking and stuff and then went to visit his friends.  On Sunday, we went to church then went to his aunt and uncles house (again, really sweet people) then we went and visit our first prospect of a house.  Few minor negatives, but for the most part we love it!  We're going to spend some time looking at a few other houses but really are liking this one.  Then, we went to some friends house and had dessert and just hung out.  It was a great day.  Today, we had lunch and then I headed home.  Just 5 more months until I get to stay :D

We have a lot on our to do list.  I'm starting dress shopping next weekend.  We've gotta get our services picked out (pictures, bakery, etc).  We're still decided on invitations.  The list goes on and on.  We're really trying to enjoy the process and not stress out.  I start classes tomorrow and I'm praying that i'll have some work so that I'll have money to travel to texas when need be.  Needless to say, I'm going to be busy.  Trying to keep my schedule straight and not stress out!  I just keep going back and looking at more....I really should just sleep at this point. 

Night ya'll

Here I am

I'm just sitting here reminiscing on the weekend.  It was amazing.  I'm sad its over and eric is headed home but I have Thursday to look forward cuz I get to go there :D

Yesterday was tons of fun!  We started out by going to watch Morgan (my future nephew) compete in a swim meet in which he did very well.  Next we attempted to go ice skating....that lasted like 30 minutes and then we realized that we are out of shape :)
Then we went and had lunch at chick-fil-a then we went to the bauers and played phase 10 and some random game on the xbox then we went and had dinner with my whole family.....Dad, Mom, Matt, Eric, Rickey, Michelle, Kenndra, AJ, Emma, , Matt, Kenny, and Gail!  It was really great food and amazing company.  We had a really great time.  Lastly, we went back to the house I've been dogsitting at this week and took care of the dog and just spent some time together talking about our future life together (an amazing end to an amazing day!)

All I can say now is that I am an extremely blessed human being

Time to eat some lunch and get what I need to done so maybe I can sneak a nap in today before I start my like 24 hours marathon of babysitting :)

Productive day :D

I got to have a whole day with Eric today....yaaaay!  It was amazing <3

We got an early start, out of the house by 9:30.  We went to the bentonville square first.  Went to the court house and got information about getting a covenant marriage license.  We can't get it yet.  It's only good for 90 days.  We're definitely gonna get it as soon as we can because I've heard too many horror stories about couples forgetting that and not realizing until the day of!  Next, we went to the Compton gardens.  Somehow, I was under the assumption that they kept it up year round....but they don't.  It was going to be an option of somewhere to take our engagement photos.  Anyone have other ideas????  We have a few others like the bella vista chapel, the botanical gardens in fayetteville (but it costs), the fayetteville square (since that's where we got engaged!), any other downtown area.  OPINION NEEDED :D

Then we had lunch at Red Lobster (YUMMMMMMYYY!!!!) and then we went and say How Do You Know (not what I was expecting but still a decent movie).  Then, we spent the rest of the day walking the dog I'm taking care of, watching License to Wed and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, talking, researching wedding stuff etc.  We looked into cruises for our honeymoon.  Looking like we'll be taking a Carribean cruise.  I'm so excited!  It looks like so much fun!!!!!  We also googled the unity sand thing...it doesn't look as cool as it sounds so we decided we're just gonna play around with the idea.  Gonna get some sand at walmart tomorrow :)

Um, we've picked the music for the ceremony, but I think I'm gonna keep that part a surprise :D

We had a lot of good conversation.  I'm so excited to be getting married!!!

Full day tomorrow so I better get some sleep!

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!
