I am going to take Bridal portraits on Friday!! Friday is also the first day we can apply for our marriage license!! If I apply for it at 4:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon, we have to be married by 4:00 p.m. on February 28th!
I feel like all I talk or think about anymore is the wedding! I can’t help it though. It is exactly one month away and I am going crazy! Everything is working out so great! We met with the coordinator at the Elegante over the weekend to go over logistics and stuff. We officially picked out the room set up, stage set up, audio set up, the chairs we wanted to use, table cloths, napkins, cake table locations… it is all decided! The only thing left to decide are the hors d’oeuvres options. Hopefully we will make that decision by the end of this week!
The weather in this town has been loony the past few days. We have been having these BEAUTIFUL 80 degree days… and yesterday’s temp never got above freezing. In fact, I think it stayed under 25 degrees! The worst part was the precipitation. People in this area don’t know how to function when there is ice on the roads. I was reading today that medical crews responded to more than 50 wrecks in Midland and Ector County alone and there were three fatalities in our area. But the ice is melting today and we are supposed to have a high of around 60 degrees. The boss man shut us down at 4:00 p.m. yesterday because it started raining again and the temp just kept dropping.
I had yet another nail in my tire yesterday. I didn’t even notice my tire was low and when I got home at lunch, I realized I had a voicemail from a girl at work. They had notice my tire was low when I was driving off. So I called my dad (Dewayne was on location and couldn’t answer his phone) and he said to drive around the corner to 7-11 and put some air in it and go get it fixed. I tried REALLY hard to get it to put air in the tire, but I ended up making it go completely flat. So dad had to come up there and help me. He decided there had been ice on the end of the hose when I was trying to do it and that is why it wasn’t blowing air. Did you know we spent $2.25 on AIR for my tire? But we got it done and Discount got it fixed. I can’t wait to get rid of this car!!!!!!!!
Okay, that is all for now. Mom and I are going to try on my dress after work today and I am SOO excited!

HONEYMOOOOOOON!
It has been a wild past few weekends!! My shower was wonderful and I received so many wonderful things!! Sierra and Emma (Dewayne’s cousin) helped me open all of my presents. I wasn’t even sure of everything I got until Dewayne and I (and mom) went through it all together!
What I learned today: My insurance covers chipped repair on my windshield for free! I went to get lunch for our safety committee meeting and on my way back, a rock hit my windshield and chipped it. I was so upset because it is LITERALLY one thing after another with that car! Anyway, the guy is coming to the house at 5 to fix it. I am so excited!
My boss just came in and told me as of this morning, he had to let 6 of his employees go, me being one of them. As of 3:00 this afternoon, they had decided to raise his budget so that he didn’t have to let anyone go. I have never had so many emotions run through my body at once! But my job is secure, at least for another year. The real world is harsh!
Wedding
All of my bridesmaid dresses are in and in the possession of the maid. J Some of them need some minor/major adjustments but it will all work out fine. I have ordered all of my last little things like my cake knives and my garters. I also found my shoes! That is really all I had left to find!
I will be taking bridal portraits at 10:00 a.m. on January 30th. I can hardly wait! We will be doing them at the Clay Desta building in Midland. It is too yucky to do them outside and this place has a HUGE atrium that looks like it is outside.
WE BOOKED OUR HONEYMOON!!!!! We are officially staying in a Penthouse Suite on the Ecstasy for a 5 day cruise of the Western Caribbean! It REALLY hit me last night that this is REALLY happening. We were going through the activities we will be able to do. I think we have decided on swimming with the dolphins and scuba diving in Cozumel and a tour of the Ancient Mayan ruins in Progresso. The rest we will shop.

Well the holidays are over and we are getting back into the groove of working again. It was a nice break. It always makes me wish I didn’t have to work… but I know I would go out of my mind if I didn’t. Maybe after we have kids in 10 years or so… :)
We are trying to get everything ready for company this weekend! I am really getting excited. I have decided the nerves will probably hit me after the shower on Saturday. The wedding is 51 days away and I am so ready for it. We received our first wedding present in the mail yesterday and I must say that it made me quite emotional!!!
FYI if anyone has tried to call to make reservations at the Elegante and were told there was no group rate for our wedding, please try again. If you already made your reservations and didn’t get the group rate, let me know ASAP and I can have it fixed with a simple email!
I got a phone call that Travis’ tux is in. We bought his because it is cheaper to buy his size than to rent it! The flower girl dresses came in two days ago. I just called University Bridals and my bridesmaid dresses are in, too! AH!! That is so exciting. That has been my biggest stress and now… it’s over!!!!
