Compromising and Spatulas

2005-12-04T12:03:00.000-05:00

Wow! It has been over a month since my last post. I have been so busy with school and wedding plans and just catching up on time spent with Nick. He got moved down here on October 2nd and moved into his apartment the following week. The apartment is looking really good. It's all fixed up and ready for me to move in soon. Hmm..just think..I am getting married in 27 days!! Unbelievable!! We had our wedding shower at my church last Sunday. We got tons of kitchen stuff...endless bakeware and storage containers...measuring cups and spoons..ect.. We had to take several sets back to the store. We got about $70 put on gift cards from returns. YAY! Even though I had to write 24 thank you notes for all of it and my hands about fell off, it was worth it! :)
Its been awesome getting to know Nick in person. We knew each other so well over the phone, but we never spent much time together in person. He is just as awesome in person...well, even more awesome, actually. I get to kiss his lips, no more smooches on the phone. Plus, feeling him wrap his arms around me is such a great feeling! Then of course, we have the part of getting used to each other in person. They say you never really know someone until you live with them. I havent lived with him yet, but I think that is true. It's weird having to adapt to their habits and trying to compromise how you are so used to doing things.We have learned one valuable lesson, however. The pancake turner is also called a spatula...so is the plastic batter mixer you use when mixing cakes. They are both spatulas, believe it or not! ha ha ha That is such an important thing to know! :)

The Return of Mushy Posts

2005-10-31T23:15:00.000-05:00

Today was Nick's last day at work in Kentucky. I am just so excited about this, b/c it means I get to see him in less than two days! I have missed him so much over this past month. It is so difficult to love someone so much, but not be able to see them. I can't fathom how difficult it is for soldiers and their families! Today, I went to a festival at Amanda's church. They had all kinds of things to do, including carriage rides. My friend Rachel, her boyfriend Nathan, and I went on a carriage ride together. It wasn't much fun without Nick. I am tired of being the third wheel....it will be so nice to have Nick with me from now on. Did I mention that I miss him? ;)

New Hobby

2005-10-26T22:12:00.000-04:00

I was playing around on the blogger home page and I discovered that there are links you can click on to read other people's blogs. I read several of them, and decided that would be one of my new hobbies...reading stranger's blogs. Some were interesting, yet others were just plain boring. Maybe people think my posts are boring, because I dont have anything extremely insightful to say or anything just "whore-ish" to talk about. :) I will admit that my life is somewhat boring right now other than the whole wedding issue, but since I cant talk about that anymore..... ;) ha ha!
In other news, I am watching the 4th World Series game, and no one has scored yet! It is top of the 6th inning. These White Sox need to get some runs! I was completely surprised when I saw they were still playing at 2:30 am this morning! OMG! That was a LONG game!! I checked out ebay a while ago to see how much tickets are going for. 2 tickets for the 5th game are $3000! They also had some tickets for the 6th game and 7th game. What would happen if there wasnt a 6th or 7th game? Hmmm...interesting!

No more mushy posts

2005-10-26T15:38:00.000-04:00

OK, OK!! I get the point! No more mushy posts (for a while). The guys hate that kind of stuff, but girls love it! I will try not to write what I am thinking about 90% of the time! ;)
Hmm..I will just have to think of other things of interest..maybe a little religion, sports, stupid news stories, or whatever else just to make yall happy! HA HA! :)

The Guy

2005-10-25T12:07:00.000-04:00

This is something Amanda emailed to me. As soon as I read it, I realized it describes exactly how Nick is. I love him!

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot.A guy who calls you back when you hang up on him. Find a guy who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead. Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Who holds your hand in front of his friends. Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "...that's her."

Wedding shopping

2005-10-22T22:49:00.000-04:00

Amanda, my mom, and I went wedding shopping on Friday. We bought the flowers for the bouquets, table centerpieces, napkins, plates, bubbles, ect.. MOST IMPORTANTLY, we bought the groom's outfit. Yes, the GROOM'S outfit!! It was rather cheap, so I thought, "What the heck?" (explanations and pictures to follow)

Seinfeld

2005-10-20T19:00:00.000-04:00

I have recently gotton into watching that ever famous show, Seinfeld. As many years as it was on, I never watched an entire episode until this past year. This "show about nothing" is actually very entertaining! Why did I waste all those years NOT watching it? We will never know!

The Discovery

2005-10-18T23:39:00.000-04:00

Well, Miss Chicken has been discovered. She was trying to stay in hiding until December, but someone discovered her hiding place. Maybe we should name her Anne!

I finally decided to figure out how to post a picture! Yay!!

Fall Break

2005-10-18T23:22:00.000-04:00

Well, Fall Break is over already! It's back to the chair tomorrow. I hate sitting in class 4 hours at a time. After 2 hours, I zone out and I can't comprehend anything the teacher says. It is difficult not to goof off or fall asleep in class. Sometimes I just get up, walk out of the class and walk around until I can wake up a bit. Lately, I have been thinking about Nick and our wedding. I even wrote out an invitation list during class. Who knew I was taking a wedding planning class?!

Sunday Sermon

2005-10-18T23:09:00.000-04:00

Isaiah 41:10: Fear not, for I am with you: Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

This is the passage the pastor spoke about Sunday. It really made an impact on me because my life is changing fast right now. I need His hand on me through good times and bad. The pastor made the point that God will be with us and He will help us through those trials and storms if we ask him, but we cannot expect Him to just take those trials away froms us. We grow stronger through hard times and we learn to trust and depend on God.

Wedding Planning

2005-10-14T21:38:00.000-04:00

I bought my wedding dress this week. It is so pretty. I never really thought I would be buying my wedding dress this early in life. I was originally planning on waiting until I graduated college to even plan a my wedding. One thing I have learned about love is: YOU CAN'T STOP LOVE! Sure, Nick and I could have waited until I graduated, but when you are in love, it is difficult to be away from that person so long. People keep saying that I should wait to get married..that I should do this...that I should do that. Those people dont know what it is like to be in this situation and they dont know how my heart aches for Nick when I am away from him. :(
Nick and I are so in love, and we look forward to every moment we get to spend with each other. I am so excited about our future together. Forever is such a long time, but that is what I want to spend with him!

Engaged

2005-10-12T02:27:00.000-04:00

As of October 1st, 2005, I am the future wife of the most wonderful man in the world. (aka Nick) We are best friends. He knows me just as well or better than I know myself. He makes me feel like I am queen of the world! He supports me and loves me no matter what happens. We went three long years without seeing each other one time, but the second we laid eyes on each other, we knew we had made the right decision. He came to visit me Friday, September 30th through Monday, October 3rd. Those were the four most fulfilling days of my life! I enjoyed every second I spent with him. Monday night, he had to go back to Louisville. It was so terrible watching him leave and not knowing how long it would be until I saw him again. I long for the days when we won't have to go our separate ways.

So this is a blog?

2005-07-12T04:08:00.000-04:00

I heard about blogs about a month ago and had no idea what it was. So, I thought I should try to keep up with everyone else and create my own blog.
