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!

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!

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!!!! ******
