Catching Up!

How hectic life has been!!!! I am getting married in 10 weeks and 3 days and feel like there is so much left to do! Well, so many little things at least.

Its been a while since I have written anything so lets play a quick game of catch up:

• Kris came to visit in January and we took our engagment pictures, our friends threw us an engagement party and the weekend went by to fast! He was then back off to Boston =( The weekends always go by so fast when he visits.
• About the end of Jan/beginning of Feb, I ended up in the ER with MRIs and CT Scans.....still unsure of what it is, but I am thinking the stress of everything is just giving me bad migraines. (Even though they say its impossible to start having them at my age.....but hey, what do Drs know!) So about a month later I finally feel better!!!
• My parents and I flew my brother Gerry home for the weekend and it was very good to see him! He seems to be liking BYU. We went and got Gerry and my lil brother Nick fitted for their tuxes and they looked absolutely handsome!
• Valentines Day was a very busy day for me. As mentioned above it was the day we went and got my brothers fitted for their tuxes, went with Dallas to see family that was in town she hadn't seen in a while and just kept it pretty mellow. I was also on call for work so I had to deal with patients calling every 5 min needing something. Being on call 24 hours a day gets very stressful and overwhelming. Luckily in the midst of all the chaos that day, I rec'd 2 dozen of white, pink and red tulips at my door from Kris. Tulips are my absolute favorite! Kris is the best!! He can always make me stop and smile no matter how crazy the day gets.
• Then last weekend I went with my parents and my sister Mia to the Hyatt to figure out some loose odds and ends and then we did the food tasting. It was a lot of fun! There was so much food and they had special menus printed out for me with all of the dishes I had chosen to try.

Ok so now we are pretty much caught up! So monday Angie (MOH) and I decide to go see if her dress is in and order the flower girl dress. It was a dress I had picked out in August and found a matching flower girl basket and pillow for the rings and everything was PERFECT. Notice the WAS PERFECT. We get there and they tell us we cannot order the dress until May 5th now and it takes 6 weeks to come in. Um problem....I'm getting married May 9th!! So for the last 2 days we have been to every bridal store around the area with no luck of a dress that is somewhat close to the style OR colors of the dress I picked out. I need something Ivory/Champage or Ivory/Latte. Anyone have any ideas????? You would be surprised how hard it is to find even a cute plain Ivory color dress. They are all white!!

I have also learned that Wedding + Kittens = NO SLEEP! Not only have I not been sleeping well because I cant stop thinking of wedding ideas, I have 2 cats that are driving me insane! I went and got Mufasa (the male-who is as big as a lion!!) fixed yesterday. My poor little baby! He didn't seem as drugged up as I thought he would be, but as soon as he'd get the pain meds, he would lay down and sleep. So I let him sleep in the bed with me last night and he didnt bother me. His sister on the other hand is being quite the pain! She has started hissing at him and is trying to pick fights with him and was jumping all over me last night, which kept me awake. UGH, if its not one its the other. She went from being the good little quiet one to the BUCKWILD one!

Im exhausted!!!

Weekend!

This weekend was exactly what I needed. RELAXNG! Friday I went and saw my friend and her husband Karaoke....the place was a freak show! But they were entertaining. Then Saturday I did nothing but catch up on all my shows on the DVR and watch The Dark Knight with my roomie. Went to bed super early so I was up at like 645 the next day! I had my room cleaned, bathroom cleaned and all laundry done before 830am! Then I went and did my usual Sunday day and came home and fell asleep! It was wonderful!

Then its today......the rain woke me up, the bad kittens destroyed the house, and now I am at work and its very slow today! And when I get home, it will be more cleaning as the kittens got into all the trash which is now all over the kitchen, the hallway, the living room.....and I am sure I will go home to a few more surprises! UGH! They are so cute when they are sleeping.....then they wake up and become little monsters! They are still my little babies though. The one sleeping and the one with its mouth open (the monster) name is Mufasa. He is getting HUGE and he is our little Lion now! The one being good to the right is the girl.....and well, we usually just call her girl. She never got a name that stuck.

Another Day........

Sooo.....I have come to realize that I cannot deal with certain people anymore. Complaining and putting yourself in a bad situation is no longer my problem. It is time to weed out the "winners" (those of you who know me know how sarcastically that was said) and move on! Good thing......I will be able to cut down my guest list for the wedding!! =) Part of me feels that its not their fault they are not as lucky as me to have found someone who loves me more than anything and isn't going around cheating on me, disrespecting my friends, or high as a kite!

Ok so I have decided I may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed and decided I need to get in a better mood. I did my venting (as posted above) and to take my mind off everything we decided to go try something new! So Nicole and I walked across the street to Juice It Up and took a shot of Wheat Grass! Neither she nor I have ever had it before and I can honestly say, it wasn't that bad.....but shock me shock me.....it tasted like grass! haha But I am in a better mood now! So from now on anytime I come to work irritated or in a bad mood.....well lets just say I think me and the wheat grass are going to be best friends! haha

I think most of my irritation is the confusion on what to do......do I move to Boston or stay in Cali? If I go to Boston I can go back to school full time and finish my nursing and if I stay here I will continue to work. I think Boston is wonderful! People back East are so different, they aren't fake at all. I just need to get Angie to move out there with me! =) The only tough time I am having with leaving here is leaving my family....well most of them at least! JK

5 Months!!!!

The wedding is 5 months from today!!! I can't belive how fast time flies! I think other than the food tasting (which will be in 2 months) I am done with everything!! I absolutely love my florist. She is so fun! Now I just need all my bridesmaids to finish getting their dresses!

Kris is coming out the beginning of January and I am so excited to see him! He has been so great dealing with all of my stress! And my friends are throwing us an engagement party while he is in town so that will be alot of fun!

I will try to write more, I just get so distracted! =)

Hello!

So today I accomplished so much!! I figured out what wedding invitations I wanted and found the save the date magnets I like! Such a relief! Lately everything has been stressing me out, but I am waay ahead of schedule on getting everything done for the wedding. Which is good considering the last month will be very hectic. Kris has been wonderful though. Im so lucky to have found someone so calm and patient.....because I definitely am not!!
For those of you who don't know, I am getting married May 9, 2009. His name is Kris and he absolutely wonderful. We got engaged Aug 22, 2008 (which is also his bday) so we had alot to celebrate that day. He is from Boston, but had moved to Cali in 2004 and met me about 2 weeks after moving here. Right now he is back in Boston so we have been flying back and forth. So.... when I leave for my honeymoon I am not coming back =( I am sad to leave my family, but I love Boston and I am very excited to move there!! He proposed down at the beach and the water was PERFECT that day......it could not have been more perfect. (a picture from that day is above)
Uh oh, Dexter is on.....time to go! =)
