The Parents Have Been Told!

Well it is a long story but lets just say that Mama and Daddy now know that Justin is moving in with me. Daddy took it a lot better actually. Mama took it exactly like I thought. Crazy how well we know our parents.

I have been getting a great deal of "advice" from different friends and finally I have decided while most of them are speaking from love one is just being spitful. Elly's mom keeps telling me Justin and I should NEVER get married and just start trying for kids NOW?! What the hell?!

1st off Justin and I will do WHAT WE WANT, if people dont like it tough titty! If we get preggo then we will deal with it but we will not stay living in sin forever.

2nd we know that this is not the way God would want it and YES we are getting married! No I do not have a ring yet, though we may do somethings backwards, my proposal will be a suprise. I want it to come when he is ready. Not when I tell him he needs to.

I do however offer ALL advice from ALL my friends positive and negative. And I am sure most will give it but do not TELL me that I should have kids now and marriage later. Advice is one thing demands are another.

Time to Update

This is what has been going on with me. Laila came spend the past weekend at my house. It was fun and she really enjoyed the one-on-one time. Kendi and Laila were both in volleyball at AP&R, though Laila couldnt play bc of a broken finger (with RSDS it takes FOREVER for things to heal, if they even heal). Kendi also made the school basketball team, so you know what I will be up to :) I am so proud of my girls.

This weekend Justin, Toby and I are going meet up with Casey in Galveston. We will be driving in Friday evening. Saturday I want to just veg on the island. We will probably just hit the IMAX and the Strand! Sunday I have big plans for Justin! We are going to an airshow. Not just any air show either, this one is only featuring WWII fighter planes! After that we will be going to NASA in Houston. ( for you who dont know Jus is OBSESSED with NASA, I on the other hand use it to fall asleep to) Oh the things we do for the ones we love *force smile*

Also on the weekend of the 17th Kendi and Laila are coming spend the weekend! Broussard is having some town thing so we will probably hit that. We may also go by to visit my granny in Mamou (who we hardly ever see now-a-days).

On top of all this Justin is moving in at the end of THIS month!! At least everything seems to be falling into place. Million Air is suppose to call him back with either an interview date or a start date :) and the truck should be ready in a couple weeks. I hope he is ready, he just finished filling out his intent to move paperwork yesterday! Wow this is really happening!

Well I am just going to stop here and let all this settle in! Have a good weekend!

Things That I Know now that I am 9 Months Old~By Elly

~ I LOVE to ride in my snazy new front facing car seat!

~ I have learned how to get EVERYTHING I want just by whining, I don't even have to fully cry and scream anymore.

~ Going to Ta Ta's house always means something new, either a new sippy cup or outfit or toy, I am soooo spoiled!

~ I didn't understand the whole Halloween thing but this Kitty costume sure makes me cute!

~ I can STAND by myself ( I can even take a few steps if I think no one is watching me!)

~ I laugh SO loud that Ta Ta says she is going to get kicked out of her apartment because of me!

~ I don't like going to long without seeing my Ta Ta. If it is more then a week, she is not allowed to leave my sight for the first day or I will SCREAM!!!!

Moving Update and Other News

Well folks this is the second morning of waking up in my very own apartment. I love it! I am like an entire 5 mins from work! I can leave my house at 7:45 and be EARLY!!!!!! Gotta love it!

Also some bad news before the good, my laptop is not even worth throwing away right now, so that means no new pics for a while until Jus can fix it :( but I am still taking pics with hope of ONE DAY show you all my progress.

Now onto the progress!!!!
Bed, Check
Dresser, Check
Sofa, Check
Moved Massive TV into bedroom, Check
Entertainment Center, BROKEN!!
Moved Massive TV from bedroom to living room, Check
Unpacked boxes = only 2 left!!!
Dining Table = Hopefully completed by next weekend!!!!!

Wow I have accomplished a lot these last two days, still not the the point where I can just sit and relax and enjoy it just yet but I dont expect more then a weeks work left!!!

The Bertrand (aka Crazy Drunk Coonass) Family Reunion is this weekend at Crooked Creek Campground, so please pray for all of the other innecent campers who just have the bad luck of having to be around my entire family. LOL I hopefully will be sober enough to take pics this year as well. Hopefully this year will be just as much fun as last years!! Good times!!

Moving In!

Ok so I signed the lease, got the keys, unloaded a load, and now I am counting down until I head out to Arnaudville to make my next and FINAL load of "crap". I am taking before, during and after pics so I will be able to share that soon (hopefully).

The main problem I am having right now is finding a place for the MASSIVE television and stand that I bought for Justin. I should not have told him but I did and now I have NO place to put it. Maybe after everything else is in I will find place for it.

The apartment is VERY clean and I like that. Nothing yet to complain about. Hopefully we will be able to keep it that way.

I have my family reunion this weekend so hopefully my unpacking will happen quickly so next weekend I can just enjoy living in my new place!!

Christmas Shopping Early/ Bargain Queen Srikes Again

Yes you have heard it hear. Talor is Christmas shopping in October. With 82 shopping days until Christmas I already have two presents bought.

First allow me to explain how I buy gift. FUNCTION!!!!! If you cant use it at least 10 times in a month you dont need it! And tradition has it that I am the only one who buys my dad's clothes. Not that no one is actually capable, it is just when other people (aka my mom and dad) do they tend to get the oddest clothes that I would not want seen on my dad.

So off to JCPenny I went to buy a shirt and maybe a tie if they had a nice one since he needs a new one. When I walk in they are having a huge sale on men's wear. Long story short I bought a white dress shirt and tie(birthday) and another dress shirt(Christmas) for a grand total of $60!!! Each shirt was originally $40/each and the tie $32. The shopping god is smiling down on me!

Then today a retired co-worker comes in and askes if anyone would want to buy a Big Screen TV and Stand for$200. I thought there is no way so I bought it for Justin's Christmas gift....he better like it!!

Well off to the daily grime.

Bargain Queen Speaking...

Who knew that I, Talor, could be so lucky!! I needed to find a sofa and dining set (I am still working on a coffee table but necessities first). So I start roaming the internet. I came across a few that were decent but too expensive. So I went to JcPenny's website and found the EXACT table i wanted. And it was ON SALE!!! Orignally $500 on sale for $200!!! And they will deliver!

So I call my insurance agent to get renters insurance that I "know" is going to be astronomical right?! WRONG!!! It is only about ten dollars a month and because of multi-policies I get a DISCOUNT on top of that!!! WOO HOO!!

Okay my day cant be going any better right....WRONG! On my way home I see a big sign outside of Home Furniture saying ONE DAY SALE. Well we know that all those furniture places say that all the time, but last time they had a big sale is when I bought my bed and saved a bundle. So I stop in, what is the harm of looking right? So I walk in and with in 15mins I see the exact couch I wanted ON SALE!!! It was $985 only at most dealer but here it was $385 with a 5 year warranty and delievery. The pillows are different and it is only the sofa but you get the idea.

I also think that I have convenced my dad that we can move EVERYTHING in one load! I'll let you know how that works out.
