Reality

Yesterday evening Justin got a wake up call. While sitting at the airport talking to a couple pilots about tips and advice in his flight lessons, he found out what they where there for. He discovered that those pilots work for a medical company that flyes critical needs patients from one town to specialty hospitals and they were waiting for a male from here in Lafayette. Justin just sort of brushed it off since he sees this at least once a week. Little did he know that tonight would be totally different from the others. When he directed the ambulance in and opened the doors he was shocked. On the gurny was a small isollete with a tiny baby no bigger then his hand. He helped load the baby into the jet along with 2 doctors and 3 nurses. He fought back tears as the small little boy cried with all his might but sounded not louder then a kitten. Justin was in awe of how much everyone took control of there position to help this small little baby. Sadly the parents couldnt go with the baby the ambulance driver had said. I keep this baby in my prayers. I really hope he made it to Philadelphia safe and hope that he is able to grow healthy and strong. I pray for his parents. I am sure they, like most parents, hoped for a healthy baby and now have to struggle with their one day old baby being in a completely different state from them and the fear of the unknown. It makes you thankful for what you have and pray that it never happens to you. But now I hope that if my child or family member needs urgent care like that little baby that the medical team will be as caring a professional as that flight team was last night. Justin said he will never forget that small little tiny baby, scared and all alone but with so many around. It just makes you think.

Bridal Gown Drama!!!

I have the PERFECT dress! The only problem is it is used, no big deal, until the cleaner you bring it to is an idiot! Let me start from the beginning!

My mom called Camellia Cleaners on Kaliste Saloom last week, and asked if they cleaned wedding dresses. The lady told her yes but only at the store on Bertrand. My mom then procceded to call that location. The lady said that they did have someone there that took care of wedding dresses and heirloomed them. My mother told her we did not need it heirloomed just cleaned and they told her "no problem".

Fast forward to today: I called the Bertrand location to insure that they were open. The lady said "Yes, until noon." I asked is this the place that cleans the wedding dresses. "Yes, we can also heirloom them". I told her that would not be necessary since I need to wear the dress. She said "then I will tell them, just bring it by".

I drove from Arnaudville all the way to Lafayette. Laila and I walked into the store, carring my mammonth of a dress. When I walked the the bit...lovely lady behing the counter asked "are you the one that called about the wedding dress". Holding back smart ass comment, I say "yes, is there any place I need to put it" She said "Oh we dont clean them here." Fine, I ask if someone picks them up and does them elsewhere. "No"she said"we dont do wedding dresses at all" and my favorite thing out of here own mouth "I dont know who told you we did". My blood at this point is BOILING. I told Laila to go in the car. I turned back to the lady and informed her that she herself had told me and that my mother had called one week prior in order to get the dress to the correct place. Then she informed me it would be a $75 deposit up front! FOR WHAT?! Heirlooming!!!! How many times do I have to tell the woman I am getting married in Aug and would like to wear the dress to the wedding! and how in the HELL can you expect someone to pay for you to heirloom a DIRTY dress?! I will NEVER go there agian and have half the mind to call the owner!! If they didnt clean wedding dresses they just had to say so!!! Now I have a big wedding dress sitting in my car with my fiance near by!!! oh the stress!

Not so good day~

So it started like this, Thursday I had to work late. Justin came to be with me so I was not all alone at work. All of a sudden and completely out of the blue, an old ex texts me. I ignore him and laugh it off to Justin. Then he texts me two more times. I refuse to answer back and thought all was done with, then came Friday.

I picked up my friends little boy and was heading home. Justin had seemed aggravated each time I spoke with him. I thought it was all because I was interviewing a friend of mine for a position at work. Justin had called me and told me before that we would be going to a friend of his house. Fine we need to get out every once in a while, we are such homebodies. Well on my way home he calls to find out where I am and it all went down hill from there.

Trying to cheer him up I ask him how his day was and he began to tell me how bad it was bc he was mad at me all day long bc of the texts the day before...in other words he thought I was lieing to him since the ex texted me 3 times I must have texted him back! How horrible to think that I would lie about something so stupid!!! We, needless to say, went no where last night and I felt horrible bc I had told my friend I would keep her baby all night but wound up bringing him back. I am so tired today. I tossed and turned so much last night bc he was so mad for NOTHING!! If I would have been guilty I understand but nothing!

Needless to say it carried over to today. I have one of my sisters here and the other is at a science fair comp at the University so it is still a bad day, but it has gotten better now :)

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 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!!
