...then the Wright family-to-be is at a stand still. Why does it seem everytime we get a little bit ahead, we still cant afford ANYTHING. I think we are going onto EXTREME buget mode until Aug. That is the only way we will be able to afford everything.
I know it is short but I just needed to get that off my chest, I will post an update later.

Finally A Wedding Update!!!
We took our engagement pics a couple weekends back. They came out GREAT! And this Sunday I have my bridal pics!!
I bought the sleeves, tiara, and bra for the dress.
My MOH has printed out my bridal shower invites and they look great, now I just need to get the final addresses for them. I can't believe my shower is just weeks away! Wow everything is getting close!!
I just need to finish my bouquet, get tuxes, and finish paying on the house for the reception.
Everything is running pretty smoothly (knocking on wood) for the most part.
The only real problem as of now is the bridesmaids dresses are not coming in until approx. three weeks before the wedding.
Hopefully that will be the biggest problem we will have.
I will keep you posted!

Much Better Monday!
So sorry about the last RANTING post, but I have to say it felt so good to get it all off my chest.
Right after I finished typing the last blog, Justin called me. He told me that his uncle from Kansas was down for the weekend working at the airport. He was so excited. They hung out all weekend and it made me feel good to FINALLY meet a good wholesome person in this family right in the mist of the Wright family drama. Perfect timing, needless to say we are planning a winter trip up there to visit more often. Believe it or not they are closer then Justin's mom anyways.
Saturday I went to a baby shower for my cousin's wife. She is due at the end of this month with little Aiden and he will be the LSU mascot straight from birth. Trust me there is not a thing in that nursery that is not LSU. Too cute.
Saturday I also went shopping with Sarah for a preggo bathing suit. I have to say she looks better then I do in one. Her belly is so cute now. Really showing and I can not wait to meet another member of the Ables clan.
After shopping Jus, Uncle Bill and I went to Gator Cove for boiled crawfish....MMMMMMMMM...they were sooo good. I hadn't had it in so long I was beginning to feel that they were going to take my cajun certificate away, but no worries I made up for it Sat. night :)
Sunday was our engaged encounter in Eunice. That was nice. We heard talks on many different aspects of marriage, not just in the church but in life, then we had to go and actually talk about what we felt about each talk. It was nice to have a day that is truely all about you and your partner. I never realized how much we talk at each other instead of with each other. I think what we learned will help up throughout our marriage. Even Justin said he liked it, even though he was dead set against having a bad time.
Needless to say I am in a much better mood today then I was on Friday. I will update later (ok maybe tomorrow) on wedding plans.

VENT TIME!!!
First off I know I said I would update once a week, oh well maybe next week. Today is not a happy, cheery, wedding bliss day. Today is a rant and rave day!
Lets start with the beginning. My MIL's husband is an ASS!!! My MIL and SIL do pills and God only knows what else. My BIL who is only 17 is living the good life in FL, with a bag a weed at a time, and beer and cigs complements of my SIL and MIL! WTF!!!!!
I love them all and maybe that is why it makes me so mad but I have had enough of that behavior from them. I could never trust them to be in my house alone or with my children. And I hate feeling this way because it is the only part of Justin's family that actually cares for him.
The next reason I am upset is this. My BIL got a job at the bar and grill that my MIL works at washing dishes. They pay him cash under the table, illegal but whatever, that does not make me too mad. What does make me mad is instead of paying him and he learning responsibility to pay his share of the rent and bills, my MIL lovingly told their boss to give her his money!!! They dont give it to him AT ALL!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is wanting him to hate life and not know any responsibility and not want to have a job. She is not even saving it for him she is using it on her husband, who we thought was gone for good.
That leads me to another part. They all moved into a bigger place so they would save on rent. Now my MIL wants ASSHOLE to move back in with all of them!!!! He has no job but has a BAD Crack addiction. So now every one is mad at each other. And my MIL refuses to pay any rent, remember she has my BIL share so he cant pay his!
Wow and I thought having a gay SIL was going to be a problem. The other thing that pisses me off is how do we find all this drama out over the phone after A MONTH OF CALLING AND NO ONE ANSWERING. What if something bad had happened? What if I was pregnant and wanted to tell them the good news? What if we had gone into town for a suprise visit? If we were hurt? dead? ANYTHING? That pisses me off! If you get calls from your child's phone at least 3xs a day for 32 days doesnt that mean they need to talk to you? We called all the cell phones and work phones we knew, and neither one would call us back!
But the icing on the cake for me is this is all happening in front of a 4 year old! Nice right?
Now Justin is mad at me for stating the obvious, I know I should bite my tounge but I am hurt too. Ecspecially since the main reason we had started to call them every day was to surprise my MIL with a trip down here. We even tried calling on mother's day............no answer.
Wow I guess it is true what they say about in-laws!
Don't even get my started on my FIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update
***I think I should update once a week for my sanity and to keep me on track. When you think about it I only have 14 weeks left until my wedding! 9 weeks until my bridal shower! It may seem like a long time but it really wont be.***
~Deposit has been made....The house is even more beautiful then I remember. ***Sarah you need to come with me one day whe you are feeling better to scope it out and help me with ideas :) ***
~I have plans to go to Baton Rouge this Saturday to drop off my dress to the cleaners. Kendi and Laila will do their part by sitting in the car and asking "are we there yet" 500million times....gotta to love devoted Bridesmaids.
~I am in the process of collecting more addresses for my guest list (but hey I had a lot more then I thought).
~My wedding flowers came out black! Not chocolate! BLACK! I am going to relook into ordering them. It may cost me more in the long run, but oh the stress it will save me.
~after the worst possible drama about the church, we finally have it! Aug 9, 2008 at 1:30pm. And a rehersal at 7pm on the Thursday before.
~ the AMAZING invitations I found do not come printed and it would be so delicate to print them ourselves....so the search is back on for the perfect invitations.
~Justin and I are looking into buying his mother a round trip bus ticket so she can come down for the bridal shower. I'll post soon on the outcome.
I guess that is it for now. I have a major paper due today and I haven't even started! Yep typical Talor!

Overwhelmed
*Sigh*
I am just going to vent on this one since it wont hurt me one bit. I just feel so heavy lately. I had a beautiful vacation but feel like everything has just exploded work wise while I was out. I have mountains of paperwork to go through and catch up on.
I also have so much going on at school, I feel like I cant keep up. I feel that I have let it slide way to far. Hell I dont even know when finals are! I am so afraid of failing and having to pay all that money back to my boss, when I def. can not afford it right now.
I also have an ever growing todo list for the wedding, and with Justin's dad adding stress to Justin and I, it is not getting any easier. I think we have decided to keep saving as much money as we can to hopefully start paying for wedding stuff. *sigh* I am excited but stressed at the same time.
I am so scared but I really want to make sure we have the church for the wedding before I make invitations. I need to call them, but I am to nervous, maybe tomorrow.
Ok I am done venting for now, see no harm done.
