Yikes!

So it's been over 2 months since I've posted. But...I have been busy. So this weekend Dustin went to Farmer's to visit him, I stayed home to get some stuff for the holidays done. I didn't get ANYTHING DONE so far except looking around for stuff for the wedding. I think I have changed my colors. EEEK!!! I was going to to do red, but I think I'm going to do sage green and pink. Partially because I can't find a red that I actually like.

I do love this bouquet though! And I think it'll go great with my new colors.
I just hope Dustin goes for it!

Chicken

Chicken...I LOVE IT..but I can't cook the stuff to save my life. How does one know the juices are clear when you are using black teflon pans???? Borrowed my mom's george foreman grill and tried it out tonight....now i have crispy outside, dry inside chicken. I think I shall keep my chicken eating ventures for when I eat out and someone ELSE has to cook it!

I have a hard time making committments. I know WHERE the reception is going to be, but have I committed to it yet? NOPE! I know, I'm going to end up drinking beer out of a trunk in the middle of the corn field for a reception if I don't get my rear in gear...but what if I find something better?!? lol. I guess it just hasn't sunk in yet, I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and not have this GORGEOUS ring on my finger, and be 80 years old, single, and living with a house of cats! *shudder* Going to write the check tomorrow for the hall! lol

I feel like a Duck

All it does is rain. Today it's only about 55 degrees and rainy and windy. Thankfully I LOVE sundays like this. I don't feel obligated to do something. I can lounge in my pj's watching old girly 80's and 90's movies if i want to and noone can say I should be outside doing something. Ahhh....love those rainy sunday days!

Yesterday we went to a wedding. One of those that you could tell only one side of the family was excited about it. It makes me sad. Everyone has been more than excited about our wedding, on both sides of the family. And everyone has been so supportive. I can't imagine planning a happy day with only one side in agreeance with the couple. It probably was a huge mistake and the marriage probably will not last, but that's a something that child will have to deal with later in his life.

So today I feel lucky....a lucky duck I guess....to have family and friends that support Dustin and I in our ventures forward!

Chips and Salsa!

Why are chips and salsa so darn addicting? I mean did anyone really ever buy tortilla chips to eat alone? They were MADE for salsa. That is my current addiction. Since Toby's been on 2nd shift the past few weeks, Dustin and I have had "us time" at home. So most nights, it's the 2 of us on the couch (gotta love sectionals) with a bag of tostitos and a jar of old el paso between us watching some show that one of us would rather NOT be watching. But it's kind of become a tradition...and my ever expanding waistline will be proof of it.

Yesterday I found out the minister we had in mind, is unavailable that weekend. So since we are getting married in an "inter-faith non-denominational" church...we can have one of our friends who is the district magistrate in town marry us. I think it'll mean more to have a friend of the family marry us than a minister we hardly know. I'm not the kind of person to go church to church looking for someone to marry us or join a church just for that reason. So...my checklist so far that is done?

Church
Hall
Caterer
Officiant

What's left?
Um.....everything else! lol

Hopefully A House!

Dustin and I are going to look at a house this weekend, hopefully. It feels like a never-ending saga. I know he wants to live close to his parents because of the farm, but finding a house close to the farm AND in our price range at this point in time, is NOT easy. I think this will be the best choice for us, it's reasonably priced, we can update/remodel as needed. The only thing it really needs before winter is new windows. Hopefully we can go look this weekend and make a deal shortly. I would do anything to be in it by September or October at the latest. I can't wait to actually have our OWN place where I can decorate and keep a house clean. Something impossible to do now living "in the frat house." lol.

Keeping fingers crossed.

Cabin Fever!

Is it possible to have cabin fever in June??? I'm so bored! It's rained for almost 3 days on and off, or been so overcast you are afraid to do anything. It's so muggy in the house too. Makes you want to do nothing but loaf and the worst part, everything on tv is a rerun!!!

Today is day 15 without the old pill. So far I feel great! I'm waiting for the bomb to hit where everyone says I'll feel like crap. but it hasn't really happened yet. I still haven't told my mom, she freaked out when I mentioned I was going to go cold turkey. I'll tell her someday, just not right now! ha ha!!!

This weekend Jamie got married. The wedding was alot of fun. I just feel bad she went under so much stress to get there. The darn bouquet toss was rigged. I tried to hide but no such luck. I didn't even have a chance to catch it, it was handed to me. Talk about embarassing. I really hate that tradition...when Dustin and I get married, there will be nothing "thrown" if I have my way!
