♥~♥such fragile moments we share♥~♥: Wedding

Long awaited...

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 15:44:42 GMT

Today I went for a massage.

One that I received as a wedding shower gift.

Yes I have problems making time to pamper myself.

I think a lot of ladies do.

Now I feel sooooooooooooooo good.

So I have decided that instead of cleaning the house I am going to have a relaxing day.

Some lunch with the hubby.

What ever else I feel like.

Life is good!!

Finally we did it...

Did I mention anywhere that we went out shopping on Boxing Day and bought a new washer and dryer? Well we did. And we get it on Wednesday. I am so excited cause well we could really use new ones. Well, maybe not so much a new washer but we could really use a new dryer. In all reality I guess I felt that I had to have the pair. So folks we finally spent our Wedding money finally and bought what we planned on getting. It was a little more than we had planned, but with a new baby on the way I have been told that I will really appreciate it. If anyone knows me well enough they know that anything used to clean things I would enjoy no matter what. You should see me when I get a new vacuum or something, I have to test it out right away. OCD, what can I say!? Which means that if I don’t blog on Thursday you will know where I am...using these bad boys!!

Finally getting things done...

I can no longer sleep in, as I have for some strange reason become quite the morning person. Which I guess is better than becoming a morning sickness person, that spends her morning hovering over the toilet. I wake up with a smile and my normal morning crabbiness is no longer around. I know that I am pregnant but the funny part is that I don’t feel it. In fact I have been walking around with the test in my purse staring at it in amazement. It seems to be so much easier for everyone around me to accept it than me, I don’t quite understand why?

I have started receiving emails about where we are in our pregnancy and what the changes are that are going on inside me. It’s amazing and yet mind numbing. I bought a bra a few weeks ago and had to take it back for a smaller one (ha ha ha) it no longer fits quite as nice, I should have kept the larger one. For the first time in my life my breasts are growing and I find this so funny cause my whole family has these huge breasts and I have always been so small. Maybe I will finally catch up?

I also finally got most of the wedding thank you cards filled out tonight. Which means that tomorrows mission will be addressing some of them. I figure that I will do them in chunks. It will make it easier that way, or make me feel like it’s easier?! Well the leftovers are ready from our kind of thanksgiving supper that we had yesterday so I should go eat. LOL We bought a whole chicken already cooked cause we were super busy all day....I honestly just wanted it for the skin!!

One month gone already...

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 22:48:07 GMT

So this weekend I hoped to clean the house from top to bottom and maybe even get a few more Thank You cards filled out. There was mounds of laundry to be washed. Walls that had some weird looking guck on them around the light switches. Dust on the shelves that I would say was about 2” thick. Stale air floating through the house, with no scent of the floors ever being washed. I can say that I did get the house clean and I even made a meal that Kenny said was amazing. The quest to get those Thank You cards filled out is still on even though yesterday marked one month that we have been married for.

Maybe tonight?!? Ha ha ha! Who am I kidding?

A reading...

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 01:46:51 GMT

Well I haven’t quite found the time to type more but I did find time to download the pictures off my camera and add the ones that I took from our honeymoon. I am still trying to get all the pictures together from the wedding. I hear the ones that the professional photographer took are ready. They will of course have to be scanned. LOL So they might be a bit longer still…but don’t worry I will be sure to post what I do have from friends and family on the weekend.

Here is a reading that a friend of ours read at our wedding.

Let love be your shelter.

the world is noisy

and confusing at times,

so make a home

that is a haven,

a peaceful place where you can

listen to your hearts and savor

the comfortable closeness

you share.

No matter how busy

your days may be,

Make time for yourselves.

Hold hands. Unwind.

Surprise each other.

Find little chances every day

to show you are grateful to be partners,

To be friends, to be married.

Life is not perfect.

You will make mistakes,

but each time

you meet life's challenges together,

you will grow wiser, stronger,

and surer of your love.

Cherish your yesterdays.

They are irreplaceable souvenirs

Of your journey through life.

Make memories

that will bring smiles and sighs

whenever you look back.

(Look back often!)

Look forward, too.

Dream together. Plan together.

Make promises to keep.

Believe in your tomorrows,

because tomorrows

are what forever is made of.

To make love last,

Put each other first.

That is the way to make a

beautiful life together,

The kind of life

You both deserve so much.

My promises...

Wed, 24 Oct 2007 21:51:33 GMT

Today I become your wife and you become my husband. I will strive to give you the best of me. I promise to respect you as a whole person with your own interests, desire, and needs. I promise to encourage and inspire you. I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you in to my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams. I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face change as we both grow, keeping our relationship alive and exciting. And finally, I promise to love you completely and forever.

I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness; it is a gift from me to you. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you. Wear this ring as a reminder of the vows we have spoken today. Think of me and know that I love you. I choose you to be my husband this day and forevermore.

Song of the day is our wedding song: Thank You - Led Zeppelin

PS How I love that I can place pictures where ever I would like too...this place just keeps getting better!!

About the wedding...

Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:55:09 GMT

Well I don’t want to keep you too long but I do want to give you an update and publicly thank our parents for helping us so much with the wedding. Our friends and relatives for making our day so special and joining us, and for you guys here for the advice and congratulations that you have given us.

I have decided to tell you about the day before and the day of the wedding. I will hopefully have time to add more tomorrow to tell you all about our honeymoon. I figure that if I break it up into pieces you might have time to actually do the things that you have to in life, instead of camping out in front of the computer all night reading about my life!! (ssssshhhhhh I feel better when I think my life is that important to you!)

Thursday 11^th

Was a crazy day full of running around all over the place picking up everything that we knew we needed to decorate and everything we didn’t know we needed as well. I also managed to squeeze in a hair appointment to get a dye job and another appointment for fake nails, a wedding must! Overall the day went by fast and without too many problems, the few tables that weren’t set up Jo said she would take care of in the morning. I called up Linda and dragged her out for the dressing of the hall. Amanda (mine) was ready to rock her keen eye for the most simple but amazing details had the hall decorated so beautiful that I forgot how ugly the place really was. Our wedding party and family joined us for some pizza and completed the hall before the guys went to pick up their tuxes and headed out for a few beers. The girls and I finished off the hall and a few of us went out for drinks as well.

It was my mom, Amanda (brothers), Linda and myself who went out for a few drinks and laughs. It was great, very relaxing, and I even had a drink drink! I told mom that I would be out at her place soon after I dropped Linda off. I just had to go home and pack a few things for the next day. It took longer than I thought cause I also had to have a shower and write something in the card that I got for Kenny. I might have been a few hours to be honest. She called looking for me but I was actually on my way out. I came up with a great idea. I called her back and it sounded kind of like this.

Me: Mom I cleaned out the bank account and I’m heading for Mexico. Tell Kenny that he can keep the house!

I know very mean to do to my own mother, but funny as well cause well we have an understanding.

Mom: So you put your running shoes on and ran did you?

Me: I just can do it! I just can’t get married. (trying my hardest not to laugh, or have her hear me laughing) I just can’t do it!

Mom: W…e…l…l… u…h…h…h… (silence)

Me: (now laughing so hard I couldn’t keep it in) Just kidding I am in the bends and will be there in like a few seconds!

I know mean but really very funny, she likes jokes!! I then went out there and oddly enough went right to sleep with no problem, even though it wasn’t my own bed. I never worried about a thing. All I could think of was the fact that I was getting married to the perfect man!!

*~*Friday 12^{th*~* Our wedding day!!}

I awoke to mom trying to get me up. It took a bit but when I was awake enough to realize that it was my wedding day I was awake in no time and in the shower. The girls started to arrive and we grabbed the champagne and headed off to get our hair/make up done. It took a little longer than I thought but Kenny’s Aunt Kelly did a wicked job, as I knew she would. We all looked HOT!!

When we got back to the house Larry was waiting with my Chariot, his ‘69 Charger. It was now time to get me in my dress. The girls did a wonderful job, and they were really fast about it. I made sure to wear comfy underwear and running shoes…of course!

We were off to the hall and it was time to get the pictures underway. When we got there I saw Kenny kind of hide back in the bushes. I hear that there might have been a few tears shed. At that point I really hadn’t had time to look at myself, but apparently I looked like an angel! *~*whoot whoot*~*

It was freezing out, but the colours that the trees were showing were way to beautiful not to get some pictures taken outside. Actually almost all of them were taken outside, for about an hour or so I froze trying my hardest to keep warm. We haven’t got the pictures back yet but I bet they look great. Of course I will have to scan them in order to get them on here, but I will try to collect all the pictures that I find on other peoples pages to show you, or maybe they will be nice enough to email them to me!

I finally got a good look at myself just before I went down the isle. I never got a chance before that. I don't mean to sound full of myself but it ook my breath away for a second. I can't believe that I looked that way. I guess I clean up "ok" as my boss told me! I don’t know what else to say other than I enjoyed our day so much. It went just as I thought it would. I even had some time to just stand back and take it all in so that I wouldn’t forget. Some things I will never forget like the walk down that isle and the calming feeling that I had when I saw Kenny there waiting for me, the chills that I got as I read my promises to him, the feeling of love as I placed that ring on his finger. Few words can describe what I felt then and what I feel right now as I type this.

One of the things that stands out in my mind is Kenny’s uncle playing the song that Kenny and his mom were to dance to. I kept it a big secret. It was very hard to do, but it made that moment that much more special. His uncle and a family friend also played as my mother and father walked me down the isle. Just as special was when Kenny danced with my grandmother. She wasn't sure 100% where she was and why she was there, as I think all of the people and music confused her, but she wanted to get up and dance and she did! I am hoping that a lot of people have caught some of my memories on their cameras for me to view later as a reminder, or even hoping that they have captured moments that I missed.

The girls looked awesome and the guys looked smoking! I don’t think that I could have picked a better wedding party, especially my matron of honour. As she made the hall look beautiful, also spent the night before unable to sleep worrying for me, and the actual wedding day being nervous as well. She gave me strength when she pointed out why she was proud to be a part of my special day as she read her speech and comforted me to stop me from crying when my mother gave a speech that was one of the most beautiful things anyone has ever written about me. Each time I think of our wedding day I just smile, it couldn’t have been more perfect. We were wed just like I wanted by candlelight and surrounded by people who are a part of our lives!

There are so many memories from our wedding I am sure that as the days progress I will remembr more of them but if I was to sit here and write about them all you would be here for a week reading. All I can say is for anyone who might be heading down the isle soon, just relax, no matter what happens it will be a special day. Don’t forget to step back every once in a while and watch as all of your friends and family celebrate your marriage!!

Well it won’t be much of an entry but I just wanted to thank all of you for your well wishes. It seems that my body has returned to a pretty normal state. Gee, must have been the lack of time that I have spent at work lately. Guess my boss was wrong, it’s wasn’t the wedding!! LOL

Tomorrow will be just as busy as today and I know there will be no entry. I want you all to know that am not nervous, not one bit. Just happy to know that tomorrow I will be marring my best friend, and I will tomorrow finally become Mrs. Kenny. I am going to try to get as many pictures as I can so that I can add them possibly before we leave on our honeymoon. However if I do not get the chance to before we leave. I will be sure to add them when I get back.

My hair got dyed today, my nails are done and I am heading out to get the alcohol and decorate the hall. The dress is getting picked up this afternoon and the flowers and cake will be getting delivered to the hall. All is well!

Well this weekend was one of the best and the worst that I have had in a long time. We went up north to celebrate Thanksgiving with my mom and Ian. I love going up there. So peaceful, beautiful and clean, I can never wait to get there to breath in the clean air. This time of year is just so pretty, and of course I have lots of pictures to share with you as soon as I get my camera charges back up.

Being up there was a great help with how I have been feeling I think it has helped in healing my body. I am not 100% better, but they found nothing wrong with me today when they did my colonoscopy. Which is great to hear. So once again I can only assume it’s the stress from work. After not eating for 2 days and watching everyone eat their turkey roasted over the fire I have found myself today quite happy to eat everything and anything in my path.

I have not talked much about my mom’s X husband cause he and I did not get along. However he had a daughter that came to see us on weekends and eventually came to live with my mother and him after her mother passed. She was 12 years younger than me but we still did things together like colour and play with dolls, even have tea parties. Her father decided it was best to move her out west and they left. She has been there for years and I have not had any contact with her, but often found myself wondering how she was and in all reality who she had become.

Tonight mom invited us all out for supper and gave me the most wonderful surprise. I figured it would just be the bunch of us as normal. As soon as I walked in the kitchen there was an extra person sitting there. She looked so familiar and yet so grown up. It was Mandy. She is now 18. She has come to live in Ontario and go to school. She has become a beautiful young woman. Of course as it was a surprise I did not have my camera in my purse. Although my brother has his, he is not the easiest person to get to send photo’s to me. I am still waiting on the ones from the buck n doe. I cannot wait to get the pictures from his so that I can show you my stepsister. She has agreed to come to our wedding. My mind is spinning and it’s hard for me to concentrate, all I know is that I look forward to getting to know her better thing the next few months.

This is what made me smile today. I noticed the link for my free hugs has expired and so I went in search to find more. You can never have enough hugs. In fact I found out that they have been giving out free hugs all over the world. I think we might have to add Woodstock to the map.

That and doing a few more things for the wedding, which is now pulling together perfectly! I am sending out a huge hug to everyone in hopes that you might pass one on. They are contagious like smiles!!

I don’t know what to say. I am so excited about the fact that there are so few days left until we get married, but I am also so frustrated with the place in which I work. I used to look so forward to my job, but now at the thought of going there my stomach turns. I never had any idea that stress could make someone so sick. It’s not that I think I am weak cause I know with the things that I have been through in life that I am quite strong.

In fact the Dr’s keep asking me how at this point I am still functioning enough to keep training the person that I am training and still keeping the floor producing parts. I tell them that I have a great team behind me, and I do. The people that I work with have been great helping me keep things organized and under control, helping me whenever they can. The people I work for however are completely different. The owner seemed shocked about me being so sick and said that things would be fine after the wedding that I was just getting too stressed out about it. IT’S NOT THE WEDDING! The wedding is fine, it’s planned, I planned it...so trust me it’s all good!! Well I had some help fomr a few people. Now I just have to find enough energy to make it through the day. I don’t know how many times that I have to tell her that it’s work, my Dr’s agrees that the stress from work has brought this all on. He suspects something called Colitis, and I will for sure keep you up to date on the diagnosis.

In order to find out for sure I have been informed that I need to get a colonoscopy done. LOL Sounds gross I know. At first I thought I wouldn’t mention it here, I was a little embarrassed. In fact I have no idea if I even spelt it right, but I am honest and blunt and that is what this space is for my life right?!? So I don’t get to have Thanksgiving supper this year. For 48 hours I have to live on water and clear fluids. Which is basically what I did last week anyway, so I am well trained. They will of course go searching for answers and hopefully we can get this problem solved!

Well we have made it into the single digits. *~*whoot whoot*~* Everything seems to be going quite smoothly. I have in my hands a marriage certificate at this point. This excites me very much cause you know that nothing is going to stop us from getting married. Well then again the officiate hasn’t really emailed me back yet?!?

I went to a homeopath today to try to find a cure for what ails me. She said it would take 24 hours to see results. I guess I will let you know if it works tomorrow.

Tonight we actually went out for super tonight. Just the two of us! Although the conversation could have been something better than work, we got some time to relax and enjoy some really good food. It was nice to have some good food being made for us. Extra nice that we just got to spend some time talking about things and where we see ourselves a year from now. It all stemmed from a wedding gift that we got early from Kenny’s boss. It is a trip to a really huge car show that they have in Florida in December 2008. We realized that if thing go as we have planned them it might be a trip for three. Very exciting to think that could be a reality!!

So today we didn’t accomplish as much as I would have liked to, but we got done what we needed to do. At lunch I ran out and got the marriage license started. Tomorrow at lunch I have to pop by and sign to make sure that the information is correct. After that we should have an actual license in 24 hours. Now if we can just remember to bring it and the ring to the ceremony we should be good. The funny part is that we actually fell asleep for a bit after work. Guess we have been working hard! LOL After a quick hour nap we got up and went shopping. We bought some more dinkie cars, so now I think we have enough favours. And visited with Kenny’s uncle and aunt, whom we wanted to thank them for the NASCAR simulator that they brought to the buck n doe, as it made us most of the money. Anyway, heading to bed. Still feeling not the greatest and I am sure that sleep will help that!!

So the wedding is going good. I got spoiled rotten at my wedding shower yesterday. Yes another one! I know 3 of them, but it was just easier that way. We have even got a few early wedding presents in the last few weeks as well. I notice that when most people plan a wedding they are always talking about how far debt you might get yourself. Really I don’t think anyone ever had to worry cause your family/friends give you so many great gifts that you don’t really have to want for much after.

I am still sick. My family Dr is not too sure what it is, but suspects that it is just stress from work, as did the Dr at the hospital. He sent me for more X-rays. The tech showed me what I look like. It was really cool. I have been trying to relax as much as possible and tonight was so easy. We wrapped up all the dinkie cars for the wedding favours. It was fun, and it only took an hour. Everyone made it sound like it would take forever. I think I might go pick up a few more just in case we need a few more though. LOL So there might be a few more to wrap up…tomorrow. That is if there are any dodges left in Woodstock!

We even put the time-line together for the day before and the day of the wedding. Everything seems to be running very smooth and we haven’t hit any bumps yet. Kenny seems to be relaxing a bit more about being in front of people. And me, well I just can’t wait!!

Tomorrow I go to get us a marriage license!

Oh and I have added a few of the buck n doe pictures. There would be more....IF THE PEOPLE I ASKED TO EMAIL ME THEM WOULD EMAIL ME THEM!! I just didn't have time to take many of my own. Funny how that happens!

Well I am doing better but I am still not 100%, but most of the things I eat are now staying in my body for at least 12 hours. *~*whoot whoot*~* It makes me feel very good to come here and see all of the caring comments that you all leave behind, and I am taking your advice and currently am looking for a new place to work. As for my health I still feel hungry for most of the time but as soon as I start to eat the feeling in my stomach reminds me that I might not want to eat too much. This feeling is what I call “gurgulating”, which is what your stomach does when it gurgles and percolates. I don’t think anything I am taking from the doctor at this point is really helping but the Gravol sure makes it easier to sleep!!

I did manage to do a little shopping today (which for most women would be perfect to cure whatever ails you) in my case however for toady this was true. My mom and get a few things that are on my list that I needed for the wedding and we ran into my Shawn, Amanda, Payton and Logan. We finished off the trip to Wal-Mart with some lunch at Boston Pizza. It felt good to be out and even better to be with family. My mind only turned to work for a few moments when we were leaving Boston Pizza and we ran into one of the guys from work that was out for lunch with his fiancée.

So I as I mentioned we went to Wal-Mart. This is where I bought my shoes. They are running shoes. There is no way that I am going to be on my feet all day and not be in comfy shoes. Besides they were only $20 so if I never wear them again it’s no big loss. We were a little short in the wedding favour department so once again we started the mission and we went through all the dinkie cars that they had on the shelves looking for just the Dodges. I think we still need a few more, but Kenny and I can take care of that when he is done work. Which is actually really soon so, I am going to go and take a nap so that I have the energy to finish off the list of things to do.

So I felt a bit better today and made it back to work for a half day. Well kind of cause I spent a lot of time in the bathroom too. I spent the first hour or so kind of feeling embarrassed at the fact that I have let work get to me that much, then when people started to let me know they understood I started to relax a bit more. Last night I got all freaky on the phone when one of the guys called that was taking over for me while I was gone. As he spoke I paced the house trying to figure out if there was anything I could do to help. In the end I figured there was nothing I could do but get better. I still don’t think that my bosses understand why I was gone. She keeps talking about the fact that I must be really nervous about the wedding. When I tell her I am not, she laughs. I mean what is there to be nervous about?? Everything is basically done. The only things really left that is big is to wrap up the favours, and get a marriage license. I mean I am sure that I have forgotten a few but I made up my mind months ago: No matter what happens we are still getting married and that is all that matters!!

Stress about wedding; none!

Stress about work; lot’s!

She just doesn’t get the fact that I have lost my marbles trying to make her happy doing a job that I really don’t know how to do in order to help keep her company afloat. Her coming into my office and yelling at me about something that she feels that I should understand but don’t is what has led me to be so sick. I never noticed how much work I really bring home with me until Kenny was finally honest. I literally think about it all the time. It’s time that I let it go!! The best part is now that I have realized this I feel much better, but just in case I am heading to the Dr’s right now to see if anything came back in all the 10 millions tests that they preformed on me. I will let you know how thing go. And don’t worry your advice has no fallen on deaf ears, my résumé’s are out on the prowl!!

Oh and I am still trying to get all the pictures from the buck n doe to post!!

Well as much as I would like to say that I am ill from the buck n doe because I drank too much and had too much fun, I can’t! It appears that I have taken on too much at work and then I am still trying to spread myself in all the other places that I normally do while still planning the wedding. I wish that I could say that most of my stress is the wedding, cause that it what it should be, but that would be a lie too.I am constantly worrying about how I am going to get things back on track at work. In doing the office job that I have been doing, I have been neglecting my normal job of running the floor and since I have people quitting right now I feel like I am falling into a pit that never ends. This keeps me up for nights on end and in this case had finally landed me in the hospital all day yesterday. I have lost several nights of sleep an about 10lbs over the last week and a half. I have been ordered to take off 48 – 72 hours from work. The sad part is that since our GM is away I feel even worse about ditching my team and probably will go back to work earlier than recommended. I am trying not to think about it and am concentrating on me getting better.

Yesterday I spent the day hooked up to an IV and had several different drugs pumped through my system. It was quite nice except for all the screaming people that would come in here and there. I can now say that I am not as dehydrated as I was before as I had several bag of solution pumped into my veins. I got to bring home this really cool kit that kind of made me feel like I could one day be a CSI lab tech too, except for as I was doing the kit I found that I gagged a little more than they do on TV. I am going to take a walk to the hospital and drop that kit off soon, which will hopefully be a nice relaxing walk.

I really don’t want to have to go back to the hospital for another visit as I find they are a little too friendly there…I mean before you get to know the doctors very well they are putting fingers in the most unpleasant of places!!

I will however tell you that as soon as I get the photo's from everyone that took some I will get them online!!

So just a quick entry cause I have lots to do. Tonight is our "redneck" buck n doe and I have a lot of running around to do. Don’t worry there will be lot's of pictures. Those of you that bought tickets I am hanging onto them myself. We got a lot of great prizes so you might have a good one coming your way!! Thank you all for your support through all of this. I might just have lost my mind without it. I had go into work for a few hours this morning so I have to get going on the rest of the stuff that needs to get done. We have to go pick up all the alcohol and get the hall ready. I am still so sick and yet at the same time so excited. Work still has my tummy churning but I am sure that I will make it through....Cause what doesn’t kill me will only make me strong!!

22 days...

So the running around continues. With only 22 days left before the wedding you would think that should be stressing me out, or maybe even the fact that the buck n doe is this weekend, but no it’s work!! I mean on top of the migraines that I have been having, (well actually I think it was just one and it just lasted a long time and felt like many) I have aggravated my stomach. I have either taken too much medication to get rid of the headaches or maybe I have a touch of the flu. My stomach however isn’t happy and I spend most of my time in the bathroom, which really makes it hard to get sh!t done. Ha ha ha!!

Tuesday night we went on the mission of picking up more buck and doe prizes and I think we got some pretty good stuff. Some of it I have never seen as prizes for a buck n doe but that is what will make ours different. I think that we have done ok for ticket sales and I now have the insurance for the hall and the liquor is ready to be picked up. I just have to remember to place the beer order on Thursday. Tht night is when my stomach started to sound like a coffee maker brewing a fresh pot. If you ever hear your stomach make those noises note that you will be in the bathroom for a while after!!

Wednesday night was a write off. I was supposed to go and pick up a bunch of stuff out at my mom's and make a few phone calls. I was so sick as I mentioned that I came home, tunred off the ringer of my phone, had a bath and went to sleep. I woke up at 11pm to go to the bathroom again when I decided to have a quick bite to eat and then went back to sleep. I woke up to a very mad stomach and I really haven’t eaten much since then. Pepto Bismal has become my meal of choice, and Gingerale (which I do not care for) cause it reminds me of being sick!

Tonight I am not at family supper just incase it is the flu. Instead I am at home when if I need a trip to the bathroom there is no one to get into my way, well until Kenny comes home from supper that is. I thought that it would be really neat if I could have the computer in the bathroom. I mean it would have to be sanitized all the time, but I think I might get a lot of work done from there. Just think of how much fun it would be when you know you are going to be a while!! Didn't I think of this before when I was sick in the bathroom?? How come no one has made the bathroom computer yet??

24 days...

Well as of right now there are 99 people coming to the wedding. I am sure that there will be a few stragglers calling or emailing to let me know that they are coming. With only 24 days left my time is consumed on of course the wedding, and the fact that the buck n doe is this Saturday means that I am also getting some last minute things together for that.

Sunday was awesome. My sister-in-law and my aunt held me a shower. We were spoiled rotten by everyone with their thoughtful gifts and we all ate like pigs. When my aunt throws a party you never leave hungry! My mom’s family of course was there and it was great to see them. Aunt Sue (the one that just recently had a lung removed) looked great. She is starting to get all her colour back and was smiling from ear to ear. My grandmother (the one that had her hip replaced a few months ago) was moving around like I couldn’t believe.

My grandmother made me a book of a whole bunch of pictures from my childhood, I actually paused the gift opening to look though it. I had a lot of bad hair do’s, but such a happy childhood. As Eva said “you were so cute what happened to you”? I am really not too sure. I will be sure to bring the album to the buck n doe and the wedding so that all of our guests can look through it as well. I was the center of attention and it was a little overwhelming for me. Not too sure why though, I mean I am normally such an outgoing person?!

Linda snuck a gift to the shower as well. Which was awesome and funny. I found a card on Amanda’s desk a while back when I needed a piece of paper to write on. I noticed that the lettering on the card was very much familiar but when she said put that down that is for your shower I though nothing more of it. Then when a very heavy gift was placed into my lap I started to giggle when I looked at the card. I knew right away why the font looked familiar, and couldn’t wait to read what was inside. As a joke I registered for 20 containers of cat litter to see if anyone was actually paying attention. Linda was, and she got me. one of my 20 bins. I couldn’t stop laughing and at the same time it almost brought me to tears. Even when she couldn’t make it, she was there!!

Monday I had a huge headache. Which sucked cause my grandmother went into have a tumor removed. (The same grandmother that was at my shower). I wanted to visit her but my head was just pounding, in fact I still have a bit of it. I basically came home and went to sleep right after I made us supper. Yes, I finally made us supper! These migraines are getting a little much. They are from work for sure cause it started to go away over the weekend and was back at about 10am Monday morning. I did not accomplish a thing that night and when it came time to actually go to sleep all I did was stare at the ceiling and think if I have forgotten anything for the buck n doe or forgot to invite anyone to the wedding.

Today I got new tires for my car after work. It was basically at the point where if it snowed I would never make it anywhere I would want to go. I decided that for once I was going to get something done early. I now have 4 beautiful cheap Wal-Mart cheap all season tires on my car. We tested them out on a run to pick up some prizes for the buck n doe. I think that tomorrow I might head up to visit with grandma, from what I hear she is doing good and came out of surgery very well.

Wow. So I missed a few more days. Of course I am sure that you can figure out that I have either been doing something for the wedding or the buck n doe.

Friday night I went and got my first and last hair trial, cause she got the perfect hair style right away. It was awesome. I didn’t know how to explain to her what I wanted but whatever I said must have worked cause she did it perfectly. I have pictures but of course I can’t show you here in case Kenny sees them. Friday night was also Matty’s birthday. We got him some balloons and Amy made him cherry chip cake, which is my favorite. Yummy! I forgot my camera so I have no pictures to show you of the night’s events. We did however have a lot of fun and it seems that in “the pub” the game of choice now is darts.

Saturday I slept in. It felt great. I then spent the rest of the day helping Amanda (brothers) clean up the house for the wedding shower that she and my aunt Lynne are having for me today. It is not easy to clean a house with 3 kids in it. I guess it would be easier if you could train them to help. Then again what kid wants to spend a Saturday cleaning??

Kenny and I then had our night together. It has started to get really cold here. We curled up and watch 300 and I pulled out the warm n fuzzies. *~*whoot whoot*~* It was better than I thought it was going to be, but I think it would have been better is I wasn’t so tired. I kept getting close to falling asleep and then I would wake myself up to keep watching more. I will probably have to watch it again to get the whole idea of it. I doubt it will be as good cause now I know how it ends. Then again I would have known how it ended if I actually did that project back in high school. Ooooppppsss!

Well I should get ready for the shower.

With only one month to go I have been trying to get as much done for the wedding as possible and in doing so I seem to be pushing off the overtime at work.

*~*whoot whoot*~*

I let them know today that I will not be able to do anymore Saturday shifts until after the wedding. I use my lunch hours to get as many things done as I can and I still squeeze in a quick bite to eat. I got the liquor license, which was easy enough. I also ordered all the liquor and beer for the buck n doe, I just have to double check with them next week. I got the insurance for the hall, which by the way I thought they were giving me what it would cost to insure the place for the year, not one night! Kenny and I put the collage together for the buck n doe cause I know how busy Amanda (mine) has been. We even put together a photo album for the wedding. Man we have lots of pictures, I mean do most people have that many pictures after being together for less than 2 years?

Tomorrow my goal at lunch is to get the paperwork (finally) for the marriage license. Kind of hard to have a real wedding without that!!

What's been going on...

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 01:12:45 GMT

I was doing a little work when I thought that I might take a break so that I can update you on the evil envelope situation and the rest of my life that has been whipping by me. I have decided to take someone’s advice, I realize today that I need to stop and smell the roses!

Sunday I pushed aside the fact that I felt I needed to go into work in the morning and get a bunch of things done. I just feel so far behind but I figured that the 9 hours that I put in the day before was enough until Monday. I shut my alarm off and went back to sleep. I felt good cause I finally got some sleep. It seems that through the week especially I only sleep from 3am – 6am. The 3am until noon felt like I had slept for weeks, but also made me feel like I got too much.

We got up and had to be out at my brothers for 2pm for my nephews first birthday. I can’t believe it’s been a year, wowsers! Everyone was there which was great cause I haven’t seen many people lately. For most of the afternoon I forgot about work. It was great! I got some really great pictures of Logan eating his cake, as you will see in the September album that I will be adding if I already haven’t. I mean I finally just put in the pictures from my own birthday on here. The great part is that if you were to see a picture of my brother eating cake at his first birthday it is almost the same picture, only my brother had red hair.

Monday was supposed to be a day of rest; it was more like a day of anger. We got up and I started to clean the house. I have wanted to do the carpets but didn’t get the carpet cleaner back from a friend until this past week. She said that she never used it, well she tried to and it wouldn’t work. Turns out that it just needed the filter cleaned. This took two hours to do cause it was full of dog hair. She is the only person that I have lent it to that had a dog! Why can’t people just say, I think I broke it! I cleaned it out and got a few things cleaned. So happy that we have hard wood most of the ways through the house cause it took all day to get done what we do have. The couches are next!

That night I planned on getting the invitations put into their envelopes and addressed. I figured that I would do this with our printer. I loaded up the printer and started printing them out. Then I thought that Kenny could put the invitations and the registry cards inside. I started to demonstrate what I wanted when I realized that they were already sealed. As mentioned in yesterdays brief but humorous entry. Lets just say that the words that I said cannot repeat here. Needless to say I had a bath and went to bed!

Last night we got the invitations re-printed on the new envelopes that I picked up at lunch and brought straight home. It went well, it only took a few hours and I mailed them today at lunch. They were well sealed and stamped and ready to be sent into the world. In a few days when most people have them I will post the picture that we chose for the invites You have waited this long a few more days won’t kill you!! Now we just have to find some time to wrap up the favours.

Today hell froze over! The owner of the company came into my office and for the first time in the last 3 weeks she wasn’t complaining about how I have screwed anything up doing a job that I have not been trained for. She told me that my hard work was appreciated and that she wanted to thank me. Please someone write this one down!

Ever wanted to get your wedding invitations done and sent out so that people would leave you alone?

I did.

Ever get a bunch of them done and realize that the envelopes were already sealed cause they were in your car on a hot humid day?

I did!
