GUESS WHAT!!!

We ended up finding a different car with less miles and for a low price so we headed over there yesterday.... and we now have a new(er) car in the garage!!! It is an '08 pontiac G6 SE sports package #1. I really LOVE it!

Seriously?

3 post in one day, yup that is right people!!!

Look at this beauty!!!

David called on it today and they can give is like 2.9% so we are going to bring my car up there when we get it back from the shop. We want to see what they can give us for it, and then I can test drive it. We are probably going tomorrow! I am a little excited!

Confession

It has been such a crapy couple of weeks. The weather has been so icky and rainy, and snowy, and cloudy. And honestly that makes me quiet depressed. This is already a hard time of year for me. It seems like when ever Feb. comes around I am really sad and depressed until I can get threw my dad's passing anniversary. And that is coming up March 7th. It will have been 2 years since he left us here on earth. Even thought it is so hard for me to grasp the concept that he is gone, I know he is in a better place and I know he is in heaven watching over me, and I know for a fact that god will not give me anything i can't handle. So I pray that he helps me get through this rough time in the year.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am also WAY overwhelmed with school and preparing for my national board exam. I am almost pretty sure that these last couple of months have been the most stressful part of my life by far.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday (sunday) my mom and my older sister, Jess, went to a bridal show. It was really dumb, and honestly I was a little sad about it. This is more then likely be the last bridal show I will go to. It was super small and I didnt learn very much. But maybe that is because I have most of my planning done. I am not sure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I put together a complete invite and I really like how it turned out, and I was going to take a picture and i never did. Maybe on a different day.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am so lucky I have such a great man! He sticks by my side no matter what, and how can that get any better. We have been through so much in our relationship that I know we can get through anything! :) he is soooo wonderful, and he is the one that gets me through each and ever day!!!

Only in Minnesota...

does it thunder and lighting through a snow storm!!!


**Im not in the mood to blog, more later probably***

I have the best Fiance EVER!!!

My sweet man served me french toast in bed this morning!!! He is such a sweetie. He has been doing chores for this guy so he has been getting up at like 6am to get them done before he has to do his own. So needless to say I havent been able to wake up with him in a LONG time. I thought it was such a sweet gesture!! :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its my older sisters 28th birthday today!! Happy birthday Jess!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note, I got pulled over last night!! I was going about 67 in a 55! Which is about normal speed for me to drive. And there are many times I see cops on the HWY and they just pass by me. I guess it was my time to get pulled over! As soon as I seen him I knew I was going to get pulled over. He threw his lights on right away and I just said "shit" to myself. Oh well. He comes up to my window and the conversation went a little like this..

officer: "hi there ma'am, I am Officer Wright from the State Patrol, and I saw that you were going a little fast back there, do you know how fast you were going?

me: "I think I was going around 65"

officer: " Do you know the speed limit?"

me: "I think it is 55?" -I knew it was 55, I have only been driving this road everyday for the past 3 years.

officer: "your right. Do you have your license? how about your insurance on the car?"

I got all the information out for him

officer: "how is your driving record?"

me: "Its clean"

officer: "ok, I will be right back"

me: "ok, thanks!" Why the heck did I say thanks?? dumb me! haha

I probably sat in the car for a good 10 minutes. I thought for sure I was going to get a ticket. But I sat there very patiently.

I was actually really surprise how many people dont pull around the cop car. They flew by without giving the cop car a little space. I thought that was really sad.

He gets out of his car, and he puts his hat on, and I see this sheet he is holding! I was thought to myself, oh shit, I did get a ticket!

officer: "Your record looks clean, I am going to just give you a warning. I want you to slow down. That is how people get hurt. They think it is not going to happen to them but it does! Just slow down!"

me: "I am sorry officer"

officer: "Just slow down! Have a good day Ma'am"

WOW! I was surprised I didnt get a ticket, but I am very thankful I didnt! Like I could afford a ticket right now! Good thing the cop didnt know I have been pulled over 5 times before he did and never got a ticket, just warnings!

1st time getting pulled over: I was 16, probably 3 weeks after I got my license. The cop got my going 70 in a 55.

2nd time: I was in sophomore high school, and I was late for a chiropractic appt. I was going 40 in a 30.

3rd time: I was a senior in high school, and I got pulled over because my tabs were expired. I told the cop that my mom was getting them that day. Soon as I was released from the cop I went into town and got my tabs.

4th: I was a senior in high school and the cop pulled me over because he thought i was drinking. I was hoping he would give me a breathalyzer just so I would know how it was because I was not drinking that night.

5th: David and I were coming home from my parents home (we were driving separately) and the cop got him at 65 in a 55, and David proceeded speed away and get on a gravel road. So he pulled me over instead. He ran my license and everything and came back and asked me if I was with the gray truck in front of me, I said yes and he said he was meaning to pull him over instead.

and then this time makes 6 time!!!! My dad, and god must me looking over me!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I bought more flowers yesterday and I also bought a daisy paper puncher. I am going to try to put a mock program together this weekend. I will take picture of the mock invite and mock program then.

I also finally returned all of the groomsmens clothes that didnt work. The girl at sears was an ass about it. But I was able to return everything. I came home and was going to order everything off the net again, and tuesday when I checked the shirts they had all of the sizes I needed. And when I went to order them last night, they didnt have the right sizes!!! ARGH!!! Seriously, whos good idea was this anyways???

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday was a year ago my grandpa passed away! We miss your Grandpa Ralph!

If you made it this far, props to you! I had a lot to write about!

Feeling Really Crappy

I think I am coming down with this flu crud. :( I really hope I am not to sick for this weekend.

Friday- My mother in law has asked me to go out to eat with her and her sister and her daughter in law. Davids other sister-in-laws are also invited. I thought it was a VERY nice to gester (sp?) to do that. So I am pretty excited about that.

Then we have our 3rd session for our pre-marriage counseling. It is actually going pretty good. We are learning a lot about each other and how compatable we really are. We really only have 1 subject that needs "growth" and that is conflict resolution. And we are slowly working on that.

Saturday- Its valentines day, how wants to be sick on v-day? David and are are playing it low that day. We are going to fondue. I am SOOO excited to do it. We are going to do cheese, chocolate, and deep fry meat. I think it should be really fun. Maybe eat dinner in the candle light?

David has asked for cupcakes for Valentines day, so I need to bake them sometime. I got ones that actually have little hearts in them, I got them from target. and pink frosting with little heart sprinkles. I also got him a really cool John Deere Sweatshirt. Well I really like it and I got a steal on it! It was orginally $60 and I got it for $25. How sweet is that!

David is doing chorse for a guy while he is on vacation, but when that guy comes back we are going to head up to a casino in Red Wing and spend the night at the hotel and do some gambling. (he wanted to do this for valentines day, but we just cant get away since he is doing the chorse)

Sunday- We will probably just go to church, and hang low at home and make a good homemade meal.

Monday & Tuesday- I have off of school, which is so nice. I have 2 projects that I should probably get done since they are due that week. I also need to study for my board exam also. So many things to do so little time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another note I made up a "mock" invite. and we LOVE it, I should really take a picture so you all can see it. If I do have any people that read this poor pathetic blog.

Ok, ok, ok, I have been a piss poor bride lately. I havent updated in a really long time. But to be honest there really isnt that much to update. Wedding Planning has been on hold for a little while, but I am back into the swing of things again. We got our new pots and pans that we ordered back in May. They are WONDERFUL!!!! I love them so far. And lets not forget that today is the 1 year mark to our wedding! David woke me up before going to work to wish me a happy anniversary and 1 year til our wedding. It made me smile, and I instantly got butterflies in my tummy. I cant imagin what I am going to be like next year at this time. When I looked outside it was rainy and gloomy. I told David it better not rain a year from today! And he asked if I would cry if it did, I replied, "yes, I would! but then I would get over it!" haha. Tonight we are headed out to the Winona County Fair, and then on Sunday we are going to go canoeing. It should be fun. And I just got off the phone with a photographer that we are going to meet with. July 18th at 5pm!

I really need to get better at writing on this. Man oh man. Well since the last night I wrote on here, we got our DJ booked. We are having Complete Music. We both fell in love when we met with them. Now we are trying to get a photographer. We are going to meet with "Hart Photography" after we get back from 4th of July vacation. A girl at my work is also going to give us a girls number that did her wedding in 2005. I am debating if I want a videographer. David doesnt really care if we have one of not. But I am having a hard time shelling out money for it. So that is something I need to think about hard. Oh I also called Gleasons Caterering today to get a price sheet. Hopefully by August we can decide on a caterer and book them. I am getting excited that I am quitting my job, I will be done at the beginning of August. Then I can really crack down on Wedding Planning. I have done a mock center piece and our programs. I took pictures and then my batteries went died. So I will have to recharge them. So keep a look out. Thats all for now! See ya

Well it has been a while since I wrote last. We went to the little speel and it turned out to be real. We did get a 2night/3day vacation. :) we also bought some of thier cookwear. It should be coming in July. So we are excited about that. We have a appt with complete sound dj tomorrow (thursday) So David can see what they are about. I found that at the bridal show we went to in march, I really liked them. I still havent found a photographer that I liked, so that search is still on. Other than that nothing is too new.
