Wright Family Updates

Justin Updates
~ My uncle NEVER called back about the Blazer and Justin was literally stuck at the airport(where the truck it still sitting to this day!) So we bought an '86 Ford Tempo. It is old but it runs!

~ Justin is up for a raise on the third of March! His bosses rave about him all the time! I am so proud of him and happy that he likes his job.

~He has also started flying again. Yesterday was his first day back in the air!! I was so scared I couldn't even go! I sat at my desk with my heart in my throat for 3 hours! But he is safe on the ground and going back up next week. I sure hope it gets easier on my nerves, since this is what he wants to make a living doing, with 50 more hours of training.

~On a sad note: Justin's sister called a few weeks ago, actually the week before Mardi Gras to say that his mom's weight is down to 98lbs! When Mindy brought her to the doctor he found two lumps in her breast. Justin is so scared right now and no one has called to give us an update. We really need to get to Tampa soon!

Wedding Updates:

~ I have found the dress!!!! It is white with crystal and pearl beading, a long train, button down back and was FREE!!!! I love it!!! Thank you Kimberly!!!

~ I have also gotten two photographers! Uncle Kent and Kimberly ( Kim may even have a friend come to help her!) I feel like Britney Spears (with real hair...lol)

~ I have a caterer! After much debate with my Daddy, he caved! We will have enough food to feed an army and I don't have to cook anything!! The menu will include:
Chicken Fet.
Pork Roast
Spin. and arti. dip (hot)
Crab dip (hot)
Mexican Layer dip (cold)
Boudin
Veggies
Fruit
Cheese
Bread
Chips and crackers
Meatballs
Cocktail sausage
Chicken Salad Sand.
stuffed mushrooms
and wine and spritz punch with fountains!
* another plus is she is family so that was another money saver right there!!!! I am loving this frugal business!

~ I have bought most of my flowers. I couldn't find the chocolate roses like I wanted so now I am painting flowers, but it is worth it!

~ Fallon (Jus' neice) will be wearing Laila's old flowergirl dress. It just so happens to match mine perfectly!! We also bought her flower girl basket that has little pearls on it. I think it is just so darn cute!!

~ I think we finally got the church. But you all know my pestimistic self so I will probably go next week to check before going book La Belle Maison for the reception (which I hope is still available)

~ I dont know if I posted before but the date is August 9, 2008!!! The count down has begun!

Moving Update:

~ I am unoffically, offically back in Arnaudville! I tend to show up about 10:30-11pm every night and then get up and go to work, it wastes alot of gas and money but it makes the parents happy.

~ Happy parents = $$$$ for wedding!

~ I really hate the drive and I really hate the way the country smells. This may sound weird but I never thought it smelled funny when I really lived there, but now it seems like every morning I wake to skunk stink! EEEEWWW! only five more months! I dont think I will last!

~ Bc of all the traveling my rear tires have worn down to nothing! I need new tires but can not buy them now! SUCKS!!!!

Work update:

~ I have been up for a raise since Nov. but my boss just told me that when she gets back from Dallas (Monday) She will let me know. Prayers please!

~ Also, Teresa will be putting in her two weeks next Wed. I dont know who I will chat with anymore! I really hope I get a bump in pay to compensate all the extra work that will fall on me but I am so happy for her! She has a really good offer and I dont blame her for taking it! I wish her all the best!

Apartment Update

~ We renewed our lease until Aug. 31st.

~ We had been looking for a house but have decided to stop due to credit and money at this time. We will resume looking probably after the wedding.

~ If all else fails we will be moving into a 2b 1b apt at the same complex!

Plans update

~ In beginning Jus and I had decided to stop the pill the day of the wedding and put our lives in God's hands. We were not going to try or prevent. With recent financial obstacles we have decide to at least wait a few months (at least) before make baby decisions. We are young and healthy for the most part and have the rest of our lives to have children. As much as it hurts this is the decision we have reached. I still need to find strength in it but I am working on it since it is what is best for us right now. And who knows we may change our minds again (we tend to do that often)


I think that is enough for now but I will be better at updating, promise!

Bad Bad Blogger!!

I vow from now on I will be better at this blogging thing. Even though no one reads this, this is my outlet. Expecially now with the weight loss (trying anyways), wedding info, etc. I need to write so I can go back and look at all the blessings, trials, and overall past experiences to help with my evergoing memory!

Monday, February 11, 2008

I have been awake since 4am. and for some odd reason can not go to sleep! I blame Justin. And do you know where he is? guess? ASLEEP! (it is after all 11pm) He is tucked away peacefully sleeping, with visions of sugarplums just to rub it in probably. gggrrrr. And I am the one who has to work in the morning, he on the other hand is off and going to the driving range with the guys!!!!! I love him but it is times like this that I really truely ponder if he secretly enjoys this. I know that is false bc he sleeps like the dead...actually I would say harder, but that is another post. Sorry so random but just putting it out there. Hope everyone else is having a good night.



****Editors note: I blame Justin solely because he knows I am terrified of aliens and UFO's. Stupid I know but truely it terrifies me! He was watching documentaries of NASA and how they know secrets about aliens (which kinda defeats the purpose of a secret if it is online huh?) He knows if he wants to watch it I don't care, he just should do it in our bedroom on his computer where I wont see and hear it but NO he puts it on MY laptop and turns up the volume and even has the nerve to say, "babe are you watching this?" GGGRRRRR! Sometimes I wonder about that boy!
