OMG!!!!!!!!! I need a Confession/Coffee Break

~I am so BLAH today but have a crap load of work to do!!!

~ My Granny is in surgery today and I am hoping everything will be fine so she will begin to feel better. *** ok just said a prayer***

~ Justin's sister was able to regain custody of Fallon!!! Not that any mother should loose her child but I am thinking Fallon deserves the best and she is not it right now. She needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

~ Justin's mom FINALLY answered the phone and supposedly they are all coming down....

~ will they make up my F*in mind!!!

~Fallon should be coming down now so we should have a flower girl...hope the dress fits.

~ Dont know if mentioned yesterday but Justin will be working nights from now on...

~ there are pros and cons I guess but I am ok with it for now, if it becomes a problem he will switch back.

~ I am killing time at work so I will confess more later!!!

Where do I start?!

Well with 2wks and 3days to go I was expecting my stress level to become chaotic but this is nuts!

Justin just called me to tell me his sister from Florida called. She is not coming. Her excuse is that we didn't give her enough time to save money. She had EIGHT. FLIPPIN. MONTHS!!! I really don't understand it.

On top of that his mom is not answering the phone!!! I can't get over that!!! She was so upset when her daughter ran off and got married in the court house but wont come to her son's wedding? Ironic much?!

We also decided to save our money and sanity and not have a rehearsal dinner. We were very grateful from some close friends of ours to help with the cooking and venue but really couldn't go through it. Now with Justin's mom not there he really didn't feel up to slapping a smile on his face.

I think we have opted for a date nite the friday before our wedding instead of the rehearsal dinner. We will be going to an early feature (probably around 4) just him and I. A last date before we are married. We may have dinner but then he will go to my parents house and my family (girls only) and I will stay at my apartment.

I finally found a salon that wasn't booked and made appointments for all the girls, it will be $35 instead of the original $30 I was hoping for but what can I do?

Appointments will start at 9am and makeup will be at 10:30. That leaves me plenty of relax and dressing time.

Update...Confession style

~ My photographer called this morning and worked out the details of the photoshoot for Sunday....and I FINALLY excited about it.

~ I mailed out about 95% of my invitations yesterday, the rest will be going out today and tomorrow!

~ I have been getting along so well with my Mama lately and that is NICE!!!

~ We even went shopping the other night and got her the most beautiful MOB dress and a "baggage holder" as she calles it to make her look fantastic in it!!

~ I also went get my Granny's outfit, I am so happy that she is excited about my wedding!

~ My MIL and Justin talked yesterday...Finally

~ They are supposedly still coming down....I really don't know how I feel about that!

~On one hand I will be POed if they do not come but I really dont want them at my house while I am out of state.

~Also I may not have a flower girl, her daddy is trying to get full custody and is afraid Mindy will not go back to FL. with her.

~ I really dont have the energy to deal with the drama lately!!

~ Mindy checked herself out of the hospital in the middle of treatment.....but I dont care anymore......

~ My FFIL also called last night, wondering what we were going to get him to wear to the wedding....WTF!!!! NOTHING!!!! YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR MONTHS GET YOUR OWN CLOTHES!

~ I was really proud of Justin last night though... he handled both conversations very well.

~ We are having trouble with the marriage lic place because of Jus's Birth Certificate. But I am not going to stress just yet about it.

~ I need to send out my thank you cards. Today!!!

~ I need to finish the last few invitations!

~ I need to finish my bird seed pouches.

I could probably go on and on but I do have a job!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MAN I LOVE!!

***Warning this may become sappy****

I should be updating, but I will do that in another post! Today is Justin's birthday and all I want to do is consentrate on him! In honor of the greastest man in the world I decided to create a list of just the few things I ADORE about him!

~He works so hard for our family.
~He knows what he wants in life.
~He looks at me like no one ever has.
~He loves me for who I am.
~He makes me melt with every just because kiss.
~He has the most amazing smile.
~His eyes are the most beautiful blue.
~He is more then happy just to sit on the sofa and cuddle.
~He is not materialistic thought he dreams big.
~He knows how to make me smile even when I am down.

I could go on and on and on and on about Justin but I will stop here. But happy birthday to my future husband! The man of my dreams!

If money makes the world go 'round...

...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.
