So Many Things....

seem to be going on right now! Yet, when someone calls that I haven't spoken with in a while I just say, "oh, not a whole lot, just work and school." Seriously? I feel like I have been run ragged and all I can say is "oh not a whole lot????" I really need to get it together.

On a more positive note...I found my amazing wedding dress on Saturday! It was great. My mother, Claire and Jordan's mother came and my Aunt Guyla surprised me there! We looked and looked for the perfect one, and finally found it. It was a lonely little dress on a mannequin at the front. Aunt Guyla saw it and said, "why don't you try this one??" I was somewhat against it at first and basically tried on the dress because she wanted me to. I loved it!! As of now, I will be the most beautiful lady in the Methodist church on June 13th. Yay! =0)

I have to go back to the doctor on Monday...AGAIN. I'll tell you what, if I never had to see a doctor ever again it would be too soon. It gets so tiring to go all the way to Ft. Worth to see the doctor for about an hour, only to drive all the way home again. On the other hand, I get so caught up in being mad about driving 4 hours that I forget to be grateful for the wonderful doctor I have found. It was about this time last year that I was fed up with looking for a competent doctor that fit my needs. Now I have one! Maybe I should shut up with the belly aching about driving so far. At least I can walk up stairs and brush my own teeth.....a lot more than I could say this time last year. =0)

I'm a lucky gal.....

This Morning...

I took Gabby to church with me. She is soooo cute sometimes.

First off she got in the car, looked right at me and said, "why are you so mad this morning?" I replied that I wasn't mad...just tired. She insisted that I must have stayed out too late last night because otherwise I wouldn't be so tired. Thats right Gabby......a full time job, school and homework aren't enough to make me tired during the week and sleeping in one day a week will definitely catch me up on sleep. I wanted to roll my eyes but knew she would see me and slap them right out of my head.

I looked over at her this morning in church, when she was only a few seconds away from falling fast asleep, and thought of how wonderful it would be to live as long as she has and still remember just about every memory of my 91 year old life. She is so amazing, she can still cook a mean pot of potato soup and a banana nut bread to die for. All the while she complains about not being able to "see a lick" or hear just about anything.

So funny......

My Life.....

is pretty much a big ball of perfection right now. Although I hit a few bumps in the road every now and then, I basically have it made.

Sometimes I forget to give thanks and notice how blessed I am from day to day. If there was one thing I would change about myself it would probably be that....I want to remember to give thanks for my blessings every day.

What more could I ask for? I have a wonderful job that I would not give up for the world. I work with people who give me recognition for my accomplishments and cheer me on all the way when they realize I am working hard.

My family tends to be a bit nuts sometimes but, for the most part, we stick together in order to help each other through the hard times. Its what matters most.

Finally.....Jordan. Oh, my Jordan. God sent him to me at precisely the right time. I was just about at my wits end with things not working out and basically fed up with jerks who wouldn't know how to treat a woman right if it slapped them. It is so comforting to know that someone will always be there for me for the rest of my life....no matter what. No matter how many times I yell, no matter how many times I kick the dog, no matter how mean I am in the morning. We loves one another. I can't get enough of him!!!

Now we are off to get coffee!!

Stress.....

is starting to get to me. I'm tired all the time and I catch myself snapping at people for no particular reason (mostly Jordan). =0( I gotta stop that. I just love him to pieces and don't want to take anything out on him.

We are getting our engagement pictures back today!! Yay! We are super excited to see them. We only took them this last Saturday and it feels like we have waited forever for them. I can't wait to see how they turned out. It's gonna be great! =0)

I am kind of in a weird place with school right now. Part of me says it is super hard and I don't know how I am going to get through it. The other part of me is relaxed and taking it in stride. I don't want to get too relaxed about it because then I stand a chance of failing. At the same time I don't want to over stress about it because I tend to shut down and do nothing when I over stress. I don't know....I guess I will figure it all out sometime. I just have to keep telling myself....only 3 more months....I've come too far to quit now.

Here We Go

Ok, so here I am. I'm blogging.

I figured this would be a good creative outlet, a way to relax my brain.....or something like that. =0)

Many exciting things are going on in my life and I believe it is only fair for everyone to be in the loop. Stay tuned for more info on my graduation, my ever-changing family, and most importantly.....my wedding!!
