Oh no it's almost time!

Well as of this coming Saturday it will be only Three (3) months til I marry the love of my life to spend time and all eternity with him. YIKES! It sure has gone by fast. I still have lots to do like get a veil, slip, some other unmentionables, shoes, figure out the food, flowers, the cake, send out invitations gulp! I did get the invitations bought we just have to print them out. Ron has this really great printer at work that uses crayon type ink to print things and it looks great when done. I just hope that I don't forget to invite someone to the wedding, get real nervous during the ceremony and get sick or something, or cry for that matter.

Before the wedding day even gets here I have so much going on in my life that I am certain I will forget something that I need/have to do. I am starting to get really nervous about this and sometimes I ask Ron why don't we just run away and get married then come back???? He says it would upset to many people.

I know that with my Heavenly Fathers help I will survive and be able to get things done as well as a great bunch of Sisters to help. I just love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There are so many wonder people in the church and makes me wonder why I did not search out this church before? Of course you know I grew up Methodist and in a very dysfunctional family so I only heard negative things about other religions. But then I met the love of my life and he introduced me to the church and as they say the rest is history. Now I just need to remember to breathe and everything will work out for the best. Right????

Dress Update

Well after a trip to two different Bridal shops I saw some that I really liked, but they would have to be altered to be made modest and I did not want to have to pay for those alterations. So I decided that on a whim I would check out Ebay and guess what????? JACKPOT! I placed a bid on a very modest gown and won. Boy was I surprised at that. So I got a nice expensive dress for a VERY modest price. I can't wait to see it. It has never been worn and was a floor model in my size. So there may be some minor alterations and a dry cleaning bill but the savings I made on this dress will more then pay for them. YEAH ME!

Shopping for the Dress......UGH!

You know I hate to shop as it is and now I have to try and find a dress I like to wear for the wedding. So this past Saturday we went to Columbia Bridal just to see what we could find. Good gracious are they pricey. I found one maybe two that I liked that were modest. So now tomorrow brings another round of dresses to try on at David's Bridal, nothing like being paraded around like cattle when you are trying on dresses. The things we do for the men in our lives. I would like to see him have to do this stuff as well. Oh wait he will on Saturday when we go find him and the boys Tux's to wear for the wedding I can't wait. I will update you all on what happens tomorrow and on Saturday when the boys have to parade around like peacocks. HA!

Date Change!

Well, we had to change the date of our wedding to April 9, 2010 due to the Rose Ball on the 24th. President Johnson told me that I should still have it on the 24th and then just bring everyone to the ball--cheap reception the food would be provided as well as a band and everyone would be dressed right. But I can't do that I want it to be all about me! Doesn't every bride? I still feel like this is surreal, like it is a dream and I am going to wake up at any minute and someone will yell fooled you! NOT FUNNY!

I ordered my ring on Saturday and it should be here on Friday or Tuesday at the latest. What an adventure that was. I had a diamond from my mom that we has reset so all we had to do was find a nice setting simple right? Wrong! Went to several different jewelery stores and boy was there a big price difference. One tried to tell us we needed to have a platinum prongs to protect the diamond. One was totally clueless, one wanted us to wait until the big event they were having and it would be only $700.00-$1000.00 (YIKES)! But we found the perfect one at Reed's Jewelers in the Columbia Mall. The guy was funny, friendly informative and didn't try to sell me something I did not want. I guess now I need to find a dress (and money to buy it), invitations, party favors etc. anyone want to help? I guess we will have to take it one day at a time.

Wedding Date

We have chosen April 24, 2010 for the wedding date. I am still in shock myself. Thanks for all the wonderful wishes.

It's really happening!

Well after 7 years it has finally happened! Ron has proposed to me and we will be getting married. I am still in shock. It happened two weeks ago when we were discussing some things after a disagreement and he just popped the question. Talk about being speechless. I told some of my friends last night and boy did the heads start spinning with details or what colors, where to have the reception, a dress etc. I surely do have some awesome friends (of course this all started after they picked their mouths up off the floor). So keep tuned in and I will tell you of my adventures in getting married.

Holy Cow!

Just got back from the Doctors and I thought that I was going to have a bad report on my sugar level, blood work and weight loss. WRONG! My levels have been great even with a few bad days of high sugar reading. I lost another 8 pounds bringing it to a grand total of 54 lbs lost never to bee seen again. Blood work was wonderful as well, brought my cholesterol level down, A1C was 5.9 (which is fantastic for a diabetic) and my liver functions are normal as well. YEAH ME!

As I go through this daily life changing process it is hard. You need to watch what you eat and how much. I watch my carb intake a lot and once I have had all my carbs for the day it's no more eating for me and you know what I feel great, sleep better and that is what it is all about folks!
