Just to get a little start on the blog, I am going to write about this week's events. Who knows if anyone will actually read this stuff. I used to blog all the time, so I decided that I would start up again. We're planning a wedding (on a holiday, no less) and a big move in July. I am not sure what really made us decide to really complicate and stress our lives to the limit, but hey, it might be fun? I kid... I am really excited about this upcoming wedding. Originally, we had planned for October. We found out in March that my nephew, Bryson has leukemia. My Dad passed away in June, now with Bryson's illness - our family just really needs to pull together and be there for each other. J.R. and I decided the best way to deal with all of that is to pack up and move to Houston. We will be there for my Mom, for my brother and his girlfriend and our nephew. Since we decided to make this move in July - kind of figured whats the point of getting married in October, we'd have to come back for that... I came across the idea of a July 4th wedding. J.R. really liked the idea, so we ran with it! I can't wait for the day to get here! It's about 22 days away, and I tell you - stress?! ha, look up the definition - you'll see a picture of our smiling faces.
We met up with our photographer for the wedding today. Her name is Jeni. We met, signed the contract, and went over things. I am super excited, she seems to be a perfect fit for us. Not to mention, the beautiful work that she does.
J.R. hurt his back yesterday, woke up with it hurting. I am pretty sure he did something to it at work and probably didn't realize and sleeping on his back probably didn't help. Poor guy. He called in today and he never does that!! While we were at his Dad's house, he used "Jiggling George" - its this crazy contraption, that you put your hips/butt onto and your legs/ankles go onto another part and it jiggles your body. It's supposed to jiggle out all your kinks and make you feel better... we shall see later this morning if it helped or not.
I have to go back to work this weekend, which I'm absolutely thrilled about. It just seems like there are never enough days off, or time to get things done. I guess I am lucky that I really only have to work 3-4 days a week. I work overnights usually a 12 hour shift, but often ends up being 13,14,15,16 hour shifts... I like my job most days, but with the wedding planning, and moving... YIKES!! I really haven't even started packing up the house yet. I've gone through things - deciding what to keep and what not to keep... but that's about it. I am selling my kitchen table and island. And possibly (well I'm debating, rather...) or not to sell the sofa.
We got a house in Houston. It's 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths. Fenced in yard for our dog, and a hot tub! We are really excited about OUR first house! The dog is a 6 month old golden doodle. (golden retriever/poodle). His name is Oliver, but we call him Ollie. He is a very smart, cute, playful guy. However, our 6 year old siamese tomcat, Sushi, isn't real fond of him. They harass each other. Usually Ollie rolls Sushi across the floor trying to play with him... and then later Sushi will walk in front of Ollie's kennel meowing - more or less "ha ha, I'm out, you're not" So it's hard to feel sorry for the cat when they play.
I should close, as it's late - I am a night owl, but am getting sleepy.
I will continue to blog about our adventures and all with the wedding planning, moving, and our life of course. I will warn, though... I am a very blunt person. I will say whatever I think and feel. I am not going to sugarcoat anything. I am posting this on the web, so comments will be made. But, That's how it goes... Doesn't mean that we will listen, doesn't mean we will skip subjects or not blog about things that upset us, etc. So be prepared - as we will prepare ourselves for whatever may arise with doing so.
Thanks for stopping by, hope you continue to do so! :-)
