Bella Vista Chapel...

Ok so I decided I'm going to have the wedding at the Chapel in Bella Vista. So tomorrow I'm taking the whole day off...yay...I have to go wait in line just to insure a date in October of NEXT year. What fun that will be...waiting outside...but at least I won't be at work...woohoo!!! I hate working...I get depressed just thinking about going to work. I am thankful for the great paying job I have but this is definitely not what I want to do 5 years from now...not even 1 year from now...lol!

Today I signed up for benefits since I'm not in school this semester and my mom can't cover me. Makes me feel old having my own insurance. Its a good thing though...I am also worried something will happen and I won't be able to afford Dr. bills or medicine...and no one should have to worry about that.

So this weekend me and James are going to get our checking accounts joint. Which makes the whole thing that much more real. So now I can spend all his money :)....haha...or NOT!
Also, we are going to go register at our 2nd place...which is Dillards. We had a lot of fun at Bed, Bath, and Beyond...it took us about 3 hours though so I'm sure we'll be in Dillards a lot longer...hehe. James is so cute...he loves the "clicker" gun that scans the bar code on everything...it was more of a game with him...haha. Boys will be boys...

Only 2 more freaking hours of work left today...yay...then I have to go workout with my trainer...ugh...or I should say go get killed by my trainer.

The note that changed my life....

So everyone has been wanting to see the poem James wrote for me on the night he proposed....so here it is...ENJOY! :)

From the moment I saw you
I knew you were perfect,
My life was a debt
For you to collect,
Disposition the sweetest,
Personality budding,
My love for you started
The day we went mudding,
I played it off
Just as cool as another,
But inside I knew
We were made for each other.
Your beautiful looks and
The way you're so kind
Made me wish I was the man
You prayed that you'd find.
Now this I know
For me there's no doubt
You are the one
I can't live without.
If you feel the same,
Then your steps retrace
To your own special rock
In your favorite place.

All the flowers James has ever sent me...

So I thought I would keep a scrapbook on here of all the flowers James has every sent me...from beginning to now...everything from christmas to just because I was thinking about you...

Sunday at work...

So here are the pretty flowers James sent me...2 dozen white roses :)


Anyways, I hate working Sundays...not only is it the weekend and beautiful outside...but its so slow on Sundays at work...almost pointless being here.

Well me and James saw Fireproof last night and it was a great movie for couples. James even cried...haha. It was sweet :) !!!

Ok so Wednesday this week we have to book the chapel if we are going to use it for next October. I'm still unsure if thats even where we are going to have the wedding. I can't decide if we should have it at my church or have it at the Bella Vista chapel. James really doesn't care either way but I think he's leaning towards the chapel. However, his grandpa is going to be the minister so if we have it at my church we have to make sure it's ok that he can do it there. Who knew weddings could be so stressful. I know I know...its still a year away but people don't realize how many things you have to do in preperation for a wedding...and I mean...its your freaking wedding...one of the most important days in your life...a day that will change the rest of your life. I want it to be perfect!!!! I just can't imagine how I'm going to be in 6 months...probably a freaking basket case and probably BRIDEZILLA...haha!!! Please pray for me!

Back to work...hehe...

I love my life...

I love love my life and I'm so lucky I have such a great guy and I have so many opportunities to do something wonderful in life...

Thursday me and James were supposed to see Fireproof but as we waited an hour we came to find out they were having difficulties showing the movie so we ended up leaving and we'll probably go see it tonight. I went to dinner and a movie with my mom and Aunt last night...we saw Nights in Rodanthe...which was AWESOME!!! I would recommend everyone to go see it. I cried it was so sad! Haha!

Well I better get off here...I am finally unpacking my room...haha...way over due :)

Fireproof...

So tonight me and James are going to go see a previewing of the movie Fireproof. It looks like it'll be a good...

I just looked at my calender and realized next week we'll be in October...how weird is that...time just flys. We'll be booking the chapel and finalizing the date next week for the wedding. Before you know it we'll be married with 3 kids...haha. Wedding planning will probably be in full swing in a few months and I'll be pulling my hair out.

So next week I'm throwing this bacherlorette party for a friend...and I just realized its next Saturday and I haven't sent the invites out...how bad am I? I feel terrable but thats over a weeks notice...thats ok? Right?

Well thank God I'm off till Sunday and I can maybe unpack my room and get stuff organized this weekend!!!!!

So here it goes....

Ok, so I thought I would start a blog since so many people keep telling me I should. So here it goes... I'm getting married next year to the guy of my dreams and the absolute love of my life. I'm so excited but sad at the same time. Excited about beginning a new part of my life but sad to be leaving an old part behind. Still weird to think I'll be changing my last name, I'll be someones wife, and someday a mother. I still feel like that little kid that needs to be tucked in at night by my mom...haha. The thought of being with James the rest of my life though makes me so happy and I know that he will take care of me. He is my rock!

So on a lighter note....I'm on the typical wedding diet...which I HATE. I love exercising but I can't seem to get motivated to do it lately. I only have like 5-6 months before I'll be picking out my dress. I'm not looking at the weight but looking at the size...I just want to be a size 8/10 and then I'll be happy :) but a lot of miles on the treadmill till then. I'm need some "thinspiration" haha...

BTW Michelle just loss 3 pounds...sooo freaking jealous!!!!!
