 Just got home from seeing The Ugly Truth!! Very good movie, Gerard Butler is gorgeous. Now off to bed <3

The husband and I went to get the oil changed to day and do some christmas browesing. We are trying to get ideas of what to get everyone on our list for xmas. Not going so good. Only have a few gifts we are certain of. The rest NO CLUE. I know somethings that I am getting from Andy though because I picked them out and was with him to pay haha. He got me betsey johnson candy sock giftset and another betsey johnson sock set. I have a huge obession with socks and have many differently halloween socks. Socks make me happy! He also got me a straightener since mine doesn't heat anymore. Its the bedhead purple one, I'm assuming its decent and I didn't want him to spend a small fortune on it and it was on sale so YAY. Now I can have straight hair for the new year. Oh I bleached my hair and it looks really good. At first it was orange fading into blonde at the roots which looked awesome but I bleached the rest of the red out so now I only have slight orange brassyness. Its really soft though, not much damage to it other than normal wear and tear. I desperatly need it thinned out and cut. Andy is getting a haircut soon too, this is what he is going for YUM! That would be Craig Horner aka Richard Cypher aka SEXY MAN!
I am very sad legend of the seeker did not come on today I looked forward to my craig horner goodness all week and then either it did not air or gd tivo decided it didn't care for the show. ARRRGH.
Um... I think thats about it from me tonight.

Haven't updated in awhile... what has happened..
Well my maid of honor/best friend Mallory dumped me. Wrote me this long ass email about how she was the only one putting anything into our friendship and she was tired of everyones excuses blahblahblah,. Sounded like there was more to it than her just being mad at me. But anywho. I've moved on. Andy wrote her an email and everyone basically said what I already knew for awhile, I'm better off without her. So my sisternlaw Ashly was promoted to matron of honor :) Her dress came in and looks gorgeous, as well as my niece's jr bridemaid dress. I will have to post pictures whenever I get them.
Andy finally asked his last groomsmen so now we get to get the tuxes done.

Still haven;t reserved the cruise and now I hear there are terrorist alerts out on them >.<

I've been in the ER all day. The nerve down my back and my ass is inflammed so i've been in pain for days with that. Not being able to walk or put pressure on my left leg. It sucks. But they gave me some meds and I'm about to pass out now. Should be good in about 3 days. I have a note for work but I was unable to call them today because of being in the ER and I can;t find my supervisors damn number. Hopefully that shows up soon.

Now I'm going to bed.

How well do you know your next-door neighbors?

Not well. The ones to the left are annoying rednecks, the ones to the right are annoying rednecks and the ones across the street, well lets just say they stand outside yelling at each other and there babys run around with nothing but a diaper on in the cold....

Saturday is another bridesmaid dress outting. We are also trying to find decorations and such since AC Moore is having a sale. I haven't updated here in a while. Bad Me. Toys r us cut my hours so I was forced to find a new job. Which I finally did. The pay is so much better however the hours aren't so good at first. I work 4 to 12:30 am for 90 days then I can put in for earlier shifts. Oh well we need the money and I figure it won't be THAT bad. I just hate that I won't be able to see Andy as much because he doesn't go in till 12pm and he gets of at 8:30pm :/ I just keep saying it's only for 90 days.

I've started Yoga Booty Ballet and so far I've lost 4 pounds and a couple inches and I can definitley feel the muscle building up. Which I really need. I was so weak before, I could barely lift a gallon of milk haha.

Anywho, That is all for now.

I finally have a job! I started training at Toys R Us this week and Friday I start working the register, yay!
I'm a part time seasonal associate. It seems like it is going to be fun.

And now that I have a job WE CAN FINALLY MOVE OUT! YIPPPPEEEEEE.

Other than that not much has happened. Halloween kind of sucked because I trained and he had to work. We spend the night before getting our costumes ready because we figured we would do something to wear them Halloween night but his jacket for Dante ended up being pepto pink and it was too late to do anything really. He got off at 7 and I got off at 5:50 something so I went home and got my costume on. It was quite awesome if I do say so myself even if I didn't have the complete outfit. I found a skirt after work at the goodwill so I didnt have to make one and I got some shorts from walmart and black wig from target then I had my white collared shirt and knee high boots. However I couldn't find the boots anywhere when I got home so I wore my stripped boots. I found a toy gun at KMART and painted it to look more realistic and attached it to my skirt. It was a pretty thrown together lady at the last min. but I liked it. No pictures though. I couldnt find the cameras we bought and finally when I got out of my costume to go to bed we find them in a bag :/
Taylor looked cute in her MF Power Ranger costume, when Andy got to the house we took her to my aunt and uncles house in town and then went to Nanny's. Most of the trick or treaters were gone by then. I think most of them started at 5 and were done by 6:30. Crazy. I remember going until like 9 when I was little. I guess it was a school night though.

I get my schedule Friday and then I have to make an appointment with the kidney doctor because I have an infection that will not go away, even though I'm constantly on antibotics for it. Ugh......

On the bright side it's 11 months till our wedding day and 1 month 3 weeks and 2 days until Christmas! I can't wait to start shopping and wrapping gifts :)
♥

I'm sick, my nose goes from stopped up to running. I slept all day. Me and Andy had a fight. I hate crying. I think thats what made me sick on my stomach. Today has just sucked huge hairy balls.

This weekend was both good and bad. Again I hate crying and fighting. I felt like crap because I made us miss the festival in Radford saturday. We ended up going with my parents to the rental place in Roanoke for tents and crap for the wedding. Arrived in a horrible mood, left in a better one but still felt bad. Got prices on everything so we can compare and choose. We went to eat at Denny's. My parents had never ate there and we keep telling them how good it is, well they loved it! Joey, Mandy and Melody came in the middle of dinner and we all talked and they got desert, they had just traded their Saturn for a new suv. Melody was so excited. She kept showing us "her new car" haha It was cute. She told me to buckle up so she could go to the mall and buy dora stuff. They decided to do our pictures Sunday after all so we planned on coming over that evening to met at the duck pond and get them done. Left Denny's and went to the mall. Mom and Dad met up with us at Old Navy. I got two new tops, a blue long sleeve one and a white vneck. Got some ideas for Andy's xmas presents hehe. He was taking pictures of the stuff I said I liked with his camera phone so he wouldn't forget awwe. I went down a size, I tried on some pants in old navy in the size I usually get that is kind of tight well I put them on and they were all saggy in the butt/thigh area and around the waist! YAY. Of course they didn't have the next size down so I could get them, but oh well that made me happy. We looked everywhere for toy guns for my costume but no such luck. Apparently kids don't play with guns anymore!?! I don't know, it's odd. I always saw them everywhere until I needed them. I suppose I will get them on eBay along with everything else. Andy decided we should go see a movie so we went and got tickets for Employee of the Month and waited around until it started. We got awesome seats but as always everyone has to sit right around us! AHHHH. Just like a parking lot, you park away from the other two cars there and then random cars come in and park right next to you. The movie was halarious, his friend told him it wasn't funny. I don't know what he was smoking. Sure Jessica Simpson can not act but if you look past that it's a good movie. The only reason she got the part anyway is because her dad was a producer on it. We had nachos and they were great! Went to Wal-mart and found the pumpkins that I want for centerpieces, however I didn't get any. Stupid, yes. Hopefully they will still have them when I head back over there. On the way home we stopped at the pretty green Wal-mart where we always find the good deals and I found the Marilyn Monroe shirt I liked in my size that they hadn't had at the previous store. I was happy and it was cheap :)
Got home and fell asleep. Sunday we slept forever. Got up and played Kingdom Hearts for hours. Went bike riding with Taylor and then came back and mom fixed dinner. Continued playing Kingdom Hearts until 3:30am and finally we got burnt out and went to bed. However we are at the end of times so it will be over soon and then on to number two YES!!!!!

Tomorrow I'm going to set my alarm to wake up early and get stuff done. seriously.
♥

I've found some great pictures of Lady cosplayers so I can make the costume. Now only if I could get my lazy butt in gear and go shopping for the materials. Maybe next week... Andy's sleeping awwe. He sounded so tired when he called.

I found this on hottopic.com and I really love it. Why must it be an insane 44 bucks!?! It's a halloween costume but I think it's a cute dress. Who needs halloween to wear that? Might be adding that to the xmas list.

And omg I want kids to dress up like this!!!!


HOW ADORABLE IS THAT!??!
If I see any kid dressed as that on halloween I will squeel and wish I had a digital camera.

♥

May we have a moment of silence for the Olympus Stylus 300. It passed away a week ago and it hasn't been the same without it. I feel lost, I took it everywhere. WHY MUST IT BREAK!!! Gah. It survived for much longer than I expected though. I dropped it many a time since it first arrived and popped the slider off. Finally it succomed to the usual slider breakage that seems to be usual for the model. It was a good camera though, may it RIP and hopefully be of use to someone one day who needs spare parts so it's memory may live on. So I'm looking on tiger direct for digicam/camcorders because my mom is getting Andy and I one as a joint xmas present and I'm so confused. There are so many kinds and I have no idea which is the best and we want a really nice one to have for years to come, or atleast until I break it. Knowing me I will drop it upon getting it. Clumsy me!

I started back on Kingdom Hearts, I'm finally determined to beat it, with Andy's help hehe. Then I can move on to the 2nd one which he is dying to start but I keep complaining because I don't want to see it until I beat the first one haha.

Thursday Mallory and I are going walking and Saturday is Highland Festival in Radford! YES! Can't wait for that. It was lots of fun last year.

♥

Andy called me on lunch today and told me to pull up a listing for a house in Roanoke. It's cute as a button and quite big. He saw it posted on the board at work and the lady works there or something so he is going to email her and set up an appointment to go look at it. I have to get information on the First Time Home Buyers loan. We probably will have to go and actually talk to the lady at the bank though. I woke up with a stabbing pain on top of my head like I had fallen on it. Took an excedrin and it finally subsided. Day 4 of the Carnation meal replacement get healthy for the wedding plan, I prefer not to call it a diet because I hate diets and want to be healthy not skinny. It's working great so far. I'm rarely hungry, it fills me up and I can go hours and then when I do get hungry I don't eat alot. I like this. Andy bought him a box and took it home so he would have some there. Saturday was Melody's birthday party, she turned 3 yesterday but since it was a weekday they celebrated it on the weekend. We left early Saturday morning because we thought the party was at 2 and we planned to run in toysrus and then head to the church for the party. Well my mom calls and says they are just on there way to the house and I was like well aren't you all going to be late for the party? And she said it wasn't until 4. SO we spend more time in toysrus having fun looking at everything. I fell in love with all the new little mermaid stuff they have out. They have the little mermaid kitchen, the little mermaid vanity and the little mermaid table and chairs! I hope they still have that stuff around when we have kids or I will just have to search ebay until I find it haha. We went to the mall after that and walked around forever, went in a few stores and looked at halloween stuff. Spent almost an hour in yankee candle smelling everything. Then we got hungry so we ate at Sbarros. Left the mall and headed to the church. We were of course late even though we started the day out bright and early haha. Not too late though just like 20 mins. They had just started eating. She had a Dora Taco party. Glad I ate that pizza. She had on the cutest little outfit! I will definitly post pictures once I upload them. I ate lots of cupcakes, Sams cupcakes are the best things ever. Melody had frosting everywhere it was precious. She opened all of her presents and they had a Dora pin'ata for the kiddies where you pull strings to get the candy to fall out her butt instead of the dangerous busting it open with a stick. Very smart. They also played pin the tail on the donkey but most kids didnt want the blindfold on. It was sooo cute, Melody didnt put it on and walks up to the donkey and puts it way up in the corner lol. After the party we started home, we both got super tied so we had to stop at the gas station and take a nap, finally made it home and went straight to bed. Sunday we got up and went to the Reinasance faire in Salem. We met Joey, Mandy and Melody over there. It was so much fun! I wish I had charged my camera so I could have taken pictures. We got to see the greyhounds run and play, one looked just like my penny! She would have loved to play with them but they didn't allow dogs *humph*. Mandy, her friend, her friends husband, her friends dad, Andy and myself all got picked to join in the pikemen training. We all got "pikes" wooden sticks and learned how to hold them, stand, attack, etc. It was funny watching everyone in the line. The guy instructing made fun of my ability to not hold the pike directly under my chin. Well excuse me for being a weakling. Joey took all kinds of pictures. Ate some nachos and andy got a sausage, his sause blew off his plate onto the sleeve of my wonderwoman shirt :( Darn wind. Melody thought it was halarious as did everyone else heheh. I wanted a circlet but they were WAY too expensive exspecially since I had just found some online the week before for like 10 bucks that were even prettier. Watched the belly dancers, felt fat. Saw one of Andy's old girlfriends she didnt talk to us though. Joey, Mandy and melody left and went home so me and Andy went and got some food at Dennys. Our waiter gave me a free salad. Andy said it's because of the red hair and ghetto booty.
Went to Joey's afterwards to drop off the wedding flowers and hang out. We played with Melody and ate cupcakes. Joey showed us pictures of Santillane they had taken and I tried to show Mandy how to do layers in Photoshop but apparently I was tired because I had forgotten EVERYTHING. I couldn't even cut anything out right *shakes head*
After we left we went to Wal-mart to pick up some milk and more carnation breakfast and then headed back home. Monday sucked butt as mondays always do. And now I'm counting down the days until I see him again ♥

GUESS WHO HAS A FACEBOOK NOW! MEEEEEE.
HAHA. I've wanted one forever but was sad because I didn't go to college so I couldn't sign up. Now they let anyone on YIPPEE. Andy suprised me by sending me a friends request, I was like what the heck? I can't join. But I CAN AND DID. I'm so lame. This made my night/sigh.
My stomach isn't feeling so hot still and I think I might be running a fever.... eh at least I have facebook to occupy my time.

Still no job or apartment/house. I have a kidney infection, it hurts really flippin' bad. Andy had to leave for work :(
He told me last night his mom asked him why we didnt just stay engaged for a while before we got married, I was under the impression she was happy for us. He said he thinks its because they can't afford a wedding right now but that can't be it because the bride's parents are the ones who pay for it. Me and Andy are helping but its mainly my parents doing it. She seemed happy for us at our engagement party, talking about my dress and stuff. I told her I wanted her to go with me so I could try it on and we could look at stuff for the wedding and she was excited. Maybe she was just having a bad day. I don't know but it made me feel bad when he told me that. *shrugs*
In other news, we rented V for Vendetta and Lucky Number Slevin sunday. Both were WONDERFUL. Now I need them on dvd. I usually hate josh hartnett with a passion but he was actually really good in it and of course Morgan Freeman was in it and he is the best ever.
We went to the sizzler and ate with my parents, john and ashly. It was good stuff. They had macncheese finally!
Andy went home monday after work and forgot his phone so he came back last night and stayed. The one day he is without his phone some pipe on the interstate flips up under his car and wraps itsself around wires and starts sparking everywhere. He pulled over to try to get it loose and it was hot so he burnt his hand and two police cars went by as he was sitting there!!! Stupid assholes, If he had been holding a beer they would have pulled the fuck over. He ended up digging a trench under the pipe and jacking his car up to wiggle it out somehow. Hopefully his cars okay, I'm sure it will be.
Okay now I'm sleepy. So Im going to take a shower and wake up. Ta-ta.

Today was not good. I felt like crap so I slept most of it. Andy wanted me to call these apartment people and I didn't. I feel like a waste. I for sure need to get out of the house and find a job tomorrow and a place for us to live. Screw being phone nervous.

My neck has been bothering me all day. The muscle around my collarbones is all in a knot :( I must have slept weird. I went back to bed at 12 something thismorning because it hurt so bad and I was hoping it would go away, well I laid down and my back started killing me too. Went to sleep and didn't wake up until 7. Mom had the bakery fax over menus for the reception. Great prices but we still need to check with some other places to compare. They said they could basically do and copy any cake we liked, to bring in pictures.

Yup. I was a spoiled brat haha. Alot of the stuff was my brothers but I played with it.

I stayed at Andy's house over the weekend and we cleaned up the house for his parents. It was alot of fun, I love to clean! It wore me out though. We got a special suprise that almost made us passout. His mom called and told us we are going on a 7day carribiean cruise and can use it for our honeymoon. They got it when they upgraded the room of there timeshare. I never thought I would leave the US let alone go on a freakin cruise! I can't believe it! WEEEEEEE :)
So now we are going to go on the cruise after the wedding then since we will be in FL we will still do the Disneyworld thing too YAY. Now we have to save money for that too haha. AND look for a house/apartment. We've found a few we like now I just need to land a job, part-time or full time and get my butt in gear so we can move out. I hate when he leaves to go back home when he stays the weekend here and he hates when I leave after staying the weekend there. It's just depressing and I want to be living with him now. Anyway this weekend we are going to old Salem days in Salem with Joey, Mandy and Melody. Mandy called the bridal shop and got swatches of my bridesmaids and flower girl dress colors so we can match up flowers,etc to them. I'm watching some auctions online for petals and stuff that are our colors. And now I must clean.

♥

Since I haven't updated this in a hella long ass time I shall do that now. Long story short I got engaged Andy, July 16th on our one year anniversary @ Myrtle Beach,SC. It was perfect and I still get chills thinking about it. My ring is beautiful, I LOVE IT! I like to just sit and look at it , watch how it sparkles in different lighting haha :) I'm so happy right now in my life. I found my dream dress. It's an Aurora D'Paradiso Ivory gown with a train and gorgeous bead work. The veil is a Malis-Henderson Montreal, it comes down past my butt and falls perfectly around a row of bead work on the back of my dress plus it has the same type of beading around the edge. The necklace and earrings set I got to match are amber colored and looks like they were made for the dress. The headpiece is a smaller comb and not as tiara-ish. I've been looking everywhere for a picture of it. Friday Mallory and I went over to Roanoke to go try it on so she could see it and we could look at bridesmaid dresses and by the time we had eaten and went to micheals the shop had closed :( I had brought the digital camera with me too to get some pictures of it. Andy wasn't feeling well so he called around 4 something to tell me he had gotten off of work early. He came by the mall to see me hehe :) God I love my fiance! Anywho he met us in B&BW where we were smelling everything haha. Then we left the mall and he went on to the house. We went to Tanglewood, where I bought the most awesome halloween decoration ever. It's a wooden vampire that winds up, plays music and moves! Came home and saw my sexy man :) hehe
Saturday we had the yardsale and I made 79 buckeroo's. That lasted the weekend haha. We had an appointment Sat. @ 2 to tour Santillane, the estate we are having the wedding at. It is so amazingly beautiful and I can't wait to get married there. We will have the ceremony on the porch and front steps. The seating will be on both sides of the walkway. We can go the day before and decorate which is wonderful so we won't have to be in a terrible hurry. There is parking over the hill, so we will have valet parking which will be nice. The guestbook will be set up under this one very pretty tree so when they get out of there vehicle they can sign in and then be seated. The groomsmen and Andy will probably come out through the front door and then we will come from the side porch and around. There is a wonderful yard(field actually) to set up the tents and have the reception out there. Food can be set up inside or outside. The rehearsal dinner can also be there. There is a glassed in porch out back that seats about 20, then the dinning room which can seat the rest. The bedrooms can be used too if there will be overnight guests. We haven't decided if we will need that though. Andy was about to passout he was so tired and sick. When we got home we took a nap and then went to Douthat to eat. That was alot of fun! Came back and rented Hostel, The notebook and finished watching the Aviator. Hostel was just stupid softcore porn with cheesy horror moments. It was halarious when the stupid whore got ran over though. He hadn't seen the Notebook and I couldn't find the dvd anywhere in the house so we went ahead and rented it. He liked it :) I cried of course. And we both loved the Aviator. We had to look up Howard Hughes information after the movie to see what actually happened and what was real haha.
Sunday we went out to eat at the Hut and went to Wal-mart. I bought him a "welcome to the gun show" tshirt and I got "I love lucy" and "Wonder Woman" tshirts yay! Tomorrow I have to step up the job hunt and take taylor to her first football game to cheer haha. Have to charge the digital camera for that.
