Blessings Upon Blessings

Tuesday was my parents 25th wedding anniversary. They wanted to celebrate with a dinner at their house just them, my sisters, Justin, and I. It was nice.

25 years! Wow!! I really hope Justin and I are still in love and as happy in 25 years!!

At dinner my dad announced that he got a new job!!! We had been waiting to hear from this company and on his anniversary he found out he got it!!! We are all so happy and proud of him.

Also, I decided to be come a Premier Designs Jewler. I think this will help Justin and I out financially. I hope I can do well and still get all the things in my life done.

Ok enough bragging! I'll keep you updated!!

The "Deal"

Well I am moving out :( As much as it hurts me to admit it and it will be even harder to do, I must do what I have to. In order to be married in the Catholic Church we must live apart for at least 6 mts. I am so upset about this so I will not elaborate on it.

Also since I am moving back in with my parents they maybe helping with the wedding. They will be helping me with the extra expense of gas since my travel time will be significantly increased.

I know everything will work out for the best in the end. Wedding wise. Jus' truck on the other hand broke down last night and now we either have to spend a lot of money to fix up this piece of crap or put a lot of money to a "new" one (used...new to us) The problem is we dont have alot of money.....hell we dont have any money!! Hopefully my uncle will be willing to sell us my cousins '96 Blazer at a good deal. Just keep us in your prayers as we wait for word.

More updates later!!!

Sad ... Hurt ... Stressed

I am soo upset since this morning. I have cried until no more tears can fall. I love Justin with all my heart and want so desperately to be Mrs. Justin Wright but everything is a struggle. He keeps telling me that it will be ok and we will make it through but I can not imagine waking up even one morning without him by my side. I will explain another day when I have the energy!

Have a great weekend.

David's Bridal Pissed Me Off!!!

Saturday my MOH and I went dress shopping to narrow down what type of dress I want to wear before my FMIL comes up from Tampa. We had a good time at Chili's before hand where the manager told us to check out the dresses by Maggie Sottero. We went to David's Bridal first, thinking with a franchise name they have to be good right?! WRONG!!!! I was so upset, not by the fact that we had walked in but by the fact that the lady said no one could help us (cool and understandable, we had just walked in) but on our way out she IMMEDIATELY saw this other girl who also didn't have an appt!!!! WTF?!!

We decided to go to Charisma just a few blocks down. My consultant just happened to be a girl I knew in high school and I must have tried on 20 different dresses. When I put on the Zaga by Maggie Sottero is when I fell in love all over again! I am almost 100% this is the one but I looked on her website and saw a few others I will try on when Mrs Penny is up from Tampa at the end of the month. But anyway, Charisma, perfect dresses and perfect staff!!! They even let us finish up after closing and never even looked upset!!! Love those ladies.

I kept my noon appt for the next day (Sunday) at DB, just to give them a 2nd chance.......BIG MISTAKE!!!! When I got inside the lady who met me at the door gave me this dirty look and asked if I had been helped I told her "no" and she walked away!!!! A second lady came to see if I needed anything( Duh I am standing at the desk for appt that says check in!!!!) but I stay calm and told her that I had an appt but had not been helped. She handed me a magazine and told me to pick out only 3 dresses and she would get someone to help me. I waited and waited and finally this sweet girl named Virgina came to me and asked my sizes and pulled my dresses. After talking to her for a minute she told me it was her first day on the floor. That is fine with me, so I am giving her extra slack on the time issue, which she really wasnt too bad with. After I tried on my 3 dresses she asked me if I wanted to try on others, just then this mean looking lady ( the one who left me hanging at the desk) told her I was only allowed to try on 3 dresses and would have to make another appt if I had not chosen the dress I wanted!!! I left in a huff!!

I will never go back there!!!! I had even picked out my BM and MOH dresses there but now I refuse to give them my business!!! I hope Virgina gets a better job at another bridal shop, she seemed to be the only one who cared!!!

***Good news is I think I have found my dress!!!! ******
