So....two weeks from tomorrow!!! I'm getting so excited! I spent the day today doing little wedding things that still need to get done. My biggest stress......the music. Strange, hey? See...our wonderful Yvonne makes anything sound good, so I have full confidence in her. But picking the songs is my biggest bother right now. It has been a little frustrating! Anyways I think after today I have it under control. I was imagining what we would be doing at the time while listening to the song...to get the right feel. I feel like I already have had the wedding day!!!
I got a position at work!!! Up to now I've been casual (but getting a lot of hours). I applied for some term positions for the summer...and found out yesterday in my boss's office that I got one! And it is supposed to start this saturday, but instead I told her when I'd be back to work after the honeymoon and she is willing to let me start the position then!!! It is a .7 which is .3 away from full time! 3 shifts one week and 4 the next. I think it will be quite busy (day and evening shifts) but it will pay for a lot of stuff that Shane and I need to pay off!!! Yeah!!!!
We went to the bank this afternoon and added Shane to my account. As soon as we are back from the honeymoon we are going to move all our accounts to one! It is our first joint account! Boy oh boy!
Well, going to get going here! Enjoy the nice weather today!

3 weeks from tomorrow.....now that is exciting! Let's see my perception of loved ones reactions to the nearness of the wedding.

mom - super excited and not stressed at all. Telling strangers in the mall tonight!

dad - nervous that he doesn't have enough time to do the stuff around the house that he had wanted to before the wedding (eg. paint the house). It is hard for him to believe that the day is so close.

Steph (sister) - ....not exactly sure. I think that she is excited, but also, you know, the mixture of sadness. There is some loss involved for her because I won't be living down the hall anymore and I will have a husband. I still plan on seeing her frequently and calling her often! I will probably see her more when I am married because now it is just plain busy sometimes.

Shaun (brother; 15 year old)- Well, not sure what he's feeling about how close the wedding is. He doesn't talk "feels" very often, which is predictable for a 15 year old male. He is happy for us though, likes Shane and doesn't have worries about us.

Well, I'm just finding lately that I really don't have much to blog about except the wedding, and I assume that must bore people. Oh well, I have 22 more days to talk about it and then it will be over forever.

Shane has the honeymoon all arranged....and I don't know where we are going! I like it that way! Surprises!!!

I have to work at 6:30am tomorrow morning and then 6am on sunday!!! Ahhhhhh! All in the name of money! But once I'm at work, I enjoy it. It's just sometimes hard to drag my butt there!

I'm at Shaner's and he's a sick guy tonight...some sort of flu bug bit him pretty hard. Please pray that he gets better quickly because he is supposed to work tomorrow as well. And pray that I don't get it because my stomach has been quite sore today!

Good night

Well hello everyone that still comes and checks my blog! We are sitting at 24 days until I become a Farrow and a wife! I'm doing a bunch of wedding stuff today...well, actually there really is hardly anything to do but I'm trying to do what I can on my day off. This is my only day off of work in a stretch of 10! That is a lot for me and I'm thankful for the shifts, but sometimes I still dread working!
In general I have really enjoyed planning this wedding. On the whole it has been pretty relaxed and very organized. I just want to get a pet peeve off my chest.....BEING ORGANIZED DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE STRESSED OUT!!!!!! Thank-you to those who encourage us organized brides! The stress that I have felt about the wedding has to do with people calling us and asking to bring kids and boyfriends/girlfriends that aren't invited! Yes, I have just taken the role of "mother dog" because if someone calls it is an automatic "no". Shane and I made the rule together at the beginning of all of this and we aren't making exceptions! That is probably the most frustrating part of the whole wedding process.
But, wedding planning is definitely up my alley and if I wasn't going to be a nurse I just might become a professional wedding planner! I would thrive! I can't wait to help my sister out when she gets married.....though I don't plan on helping where she doesn't want me! I have enjoyed how relatively isolated this wedding planning has been for me. Due to Shane and I paying for our wedding, we got to make all our own decisions! It has been great! I hear horror stories of parents and in-laws that have major control issues because they contribute! Praise God that has not been an issue!!!!!
Well, I'll try to write again soon.....hopefully! I just don't have a lot of access to a computer now that I'm not at the University!
Ta ta for now!

38 days to go!!!! Oh my goodness!!!!!!! And there is really hardly anything to do right now!

I'm working as a Health Care Aide casually this summer. Unless I get a job that I applied for, which I will find out by friday. I sort of want it and sort of don't. It has great hours (monday to friday 8:30 -4:30pm) and would be a sure pay check. But, if I get the job we only get a 1 week honeymoon and if I don't we get two weeks together! So, I just want to know the verdict.

Thanks to all who came to our social and bought tickets! We were expecting to make a little figure and walked away after all our expenses with triple that amount!!! We get to go on a honeymoon!!!! Yipppeeeee!!!

Well, I'm at the U and my parking is going to run out soon so I gotta go!
