Since Wednesday, someone in our house has been sick and it is slowly making it's way through the family. I really wish it would end NOW!!!
On other news, Danielle and Scott were in town for Thanksgiving!! With all the sickness going around we had a slight change of plans for our dinner and ended up staying home. Since we didn't plan on staying home this year, we had done ZERO shopping. So what did we have for dinner.....ham, potato casserole, fruit salad, sweet potato casserole, corn, and rolls. No turkey on Turkey day.....and it was still good!!!! Also because of our sickly states, we had to cancel my bridal portraits this weekend. Very very sad. Hopefully I'll be able to reschedule for next weekend.
In a mere 33 days, I will be marrying the love of my life!!! 33 days still sounds so far away, but compared to where we started at like 140 something.....it's so much better!!!!! In 22 days my life will be better when I actually get to see him again and then 11 days later, the rest of my life will begin! I will finally be a MRS!!!! Updates on where we will live, NONE! But it's ok, because whereever it is, I'll be with him!
That's all for now!

Double Doser
Earlier JCB called me not having a very good day.....someone in his group messed up on the breif that they had and so he failed it. His part was right though. The captain pulled him aside a little later this afternoon and told him, don't worry about re-doing the breif, I know you've got this. YAY!!!! Let's just say JCB was in a way better mood when I talked to him a second time!!!
On another note.......:-( Let me just start with that. He called branch to see what the deal was with this stupid order change thing and they told him, it should be done within two weeks.....even though a week ago last Friday, they said It should be done by next Friday, which would have been last week.......... grrrrrrrrrrr!!! All I have to say, is I think someone is praying that I learn patients, and I wish they would quit!!!!

Lots to catch up on
I'm taking a little break from work to eat lunch, and can I just say.......I LOVE FOOD!!!!! I seriously don't know how I don't weigh 300 pounds!!! Speaking of that, last night I ran on the treadmill for an hour.......it was good. I think I went like 4.5 miles, so as you can tell, I wasn't running too fast....just a nice steady jog. I'll hopefully be doing the same thing tonight!
Dad has a sprained ankle. Poor little thing!! He is hobbling around so sad and pathetic looking......he doesn't like it when I make fun of him either, but hey, I'm his daughter, that's what we do!! :-) Love ya Daddy!
Little set back for the lil sis. She won't be going to the nursing program in Jan, but she will be going to the surgical tech program where, I'm assuming she will help cut people open----vomit!! She will be amazing no matter what she does. I think she is the only one in the family that got the "medically help people" gene. I so couldn't do what she does on a regular basis! I am very proud of her!!!
Since I am pastey white right now, I went to the tanning bed last night and got to lay in it for 6 whole minutes......watch out y'all I'm gonna be black soon! haha Not really. They didn't want me to burn since I really don't have any kind of a base tan at all. So I will be going back tonight to do 10 mins this time. Gotta look good in the white dress on Jan 1.
So they found a replacement for me at work yesterday. She will start on Monday so I can start showing her what I do....I should be done training by Wednesday! hahaha Ok just kidding. My last day of work will be on Dec 18th. I am so excited because then the following Monday I will get to see my soon to be husband.
Speaking of him, JCB is doing well in AZ. Other than the fact he misses me like crazy.....ask him yourself, he'll tell you! He had to work on some kind of physical test thingy today that he is coordinating and then he has a briefing.....I mean geez they have briefings like EVERYDAY. Apparently this one is really important though because it's like a midterm for him. He will do great though!! I just know it.
So only 52 more days!!!! The count down is getting smaller, but it still seems like forever away. I realized the other day that I will have only spent like a week and a half with JCB while being engaged. The rest of our engagement we have been apart.....totally not fun!!!! Oh well, it's part of our life now and I wouldn't change it since in the end I get him! I know it's cheesy but so true!
That's all for now. That was alot to update you on! Hope you have a great Tuesday!! Mine's half way over!! Whoo hoo!!!

Stress and Shopping!!
Boy have we had an exciting couple of days. First we find out that our request to transfer has been sent to the wrong office and that it won't be sent to the right office until Dec. So technically we are still going to Germany in Jan. However, my amazing husband to be, being the awesomeness that he is, e-mailed the right people and tempted them with cookies.......Did this work, you ask!! Well of course it did. The branch manager was super sweet about the whole thing and basically said that as long as everyone if ok with the swap then she would try to have it done by next Friday. So, Lord willing and the creek don't rise, Ft. Bragg NC here we come!!!!! Of course, I am holding my breath until next Friday when we get the 100% yes from them, because as I have come to learn about the Army, they like to say one thing then do another! It has been interesting! I knew I should have stuck with the Air Force, sorry Dad!! hehehe Just kidding!
So today, since I was in a better mood, mom and I went shopping!!!! That always makes me super happy! Let me just tell you, I was going more to just window shop with mom and show her a few things I'd like to have, I mean hello Christmas is coming soon!! Anyways, so we go to Hobby Lobby, need I say more?!?!?!?! They were having 50% all their scrap booking stuff, paper, albums, stickers, stamps. You name it, it was on sale!!! And buddy did I stock up!!!! Now all I need is for a wedding to take place so I have some pictures and I'm ready to go. Guess I have to wait 62, almost 61, more days!! It will be tough but I think I can handle it.
So I have church tomorrow and then another week at work........let's see what it has to bring!!!
Until next time!

Frustration
So today I have ALOT of frustration. Apparently I still don't know where I am going to be living and I don't like it one bit!!! So what if I like to be in control of every situation in my life.....is that so wrong? This is where I'm coming from. The paperwork that was put in was not put into the right people. So the people who got it are saying, we aren't sending it to the right people because it's too late. So JCB is trying to get in touch with the right people to get this mess up fixed, however, since he is in class all day and the only time he could call was at lunch, guess what, the right people were at lunch too..........so, we have gotten no where. I just wish this whole matter was done and over with and I was already Mrs. JCB and living with my baby! Is that too much to ask for?

It's only Tuesday?!?!
Not much of anything new to report today. The week feels like it is dragging on and on and on. Could have something to do with this crazy rain that won't stop and the coldness of my office that is just making me want to curl up in my bed and watch a movie with some hot chocolate and popcorn. I know, off mix! But oh well!!
On my to do list this week for the wedding is:
1. Get all the fabric for the decorations purchased!!
2. Get the music for during the ceremony picked.
3. Get a play list for the reception put together.
So far on my list, the fabric has been ordered and should be here by Friday! It's super cute by the way! However, on the other end of my list..........ugh I didn't know picking music would be so hard. It's like I don't want to pick the wrong song because if I do then it will ruin the whole day. In acutallity I know it won't but still, it's alot of pressure! JCB and I don't really have the same taste in music so it's hard to pick something for the ceremony that we will both like, and something that my amazing bro won't mind singing. Because he is, singing that is. There was a deal made, either he helped with the grooms cake or he sang a song....well I'm buying the grooms cake so that just leaves one thing for him to do........... :-) he so loves me! ha
So, anyways, back to my pickle....I need help! What music should I play at both my reception and ceremony?? Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!

Start again!!!
So, I'm sitting at work again on a Friday with absolutely nothing to do. If you saw my desk you would know what I mean. All I've got here are some pens, a cup of water, calculator, computer, phone and two very amazing photos of me and my honey!!! That's it, no work, no bills to pay......nada!! So I thought, well I'll just go online and read some more blogs, I find them highly entertaining and a great time passer! Then I remembered I started my own a long time ago and just haven't done anything with it. So I have a "new years resolution". I'm going to keep up with this blog from now on.........hopefully! :-) Even if no one reads, it will be a great way to pass my time here at this very slow job!
So in the last post I wrote which was ages ago it seems, I mentioned a new fella!! Well, this fella and I are gettin hitched! Whoo hoo!!!! We only have 70 days to go, not that we are counting or even sending each other photos of the number each day............ So anyways, this fella and I are gettin hitched and I am so excited. I can't even tell you how stinkin' blessed I am to have him in my life! We are both absolutely retarded and love every minute that we are together! Though that has been not so much in the past two months that we have been engaged, seeing how that the day he proposed he left me for Arizona......but it's ok, I got to go see him a couple of weekends ago and it was probably the best weekend ever!!!! But now we are both back to the "real world". Sitting at a desk all day doing nothing but missing him like crazy for me, and running like crazy and learning all kinds of military stuff for him. All we have in common now is that we are crazy about each other and can't wait for Dec 20th when we finally get to see each other again! On that day, my heart will be made whole again! At least for a little while!
So we have the wedding on January 1st, 2010, (cool huh, 01/01/10....I love it!) After that, we go to Jamaica for 7 amazing days, to relax and just enjoy each other until our crazy life kicks in. See, before the 1st, I will be going crazy, between going to Jax to be with his family before Christmas, then coming back to my family for Christmas and then getting all the last minute details, plus all the catering and the cake done for the wedding, I am definitely going to need that Jamaica trip!! So after our amazing get away, we will be back to the real world to move to either Germany or North Carolina, still not sure which one, and then we get to start our new lives!! We have a lot on our plates right now, but all I can think about it what is going to be happening in 70 days, when all my dreams will come true! I'll be marrying the man of me dreams that day and all with be right in the world! ha
So, I'm sure you will be hearing a whole lot more of the wedding planning, getting ready to move, my ultra boring job, and of course the agonizing count down til the day my life will begin!
Hope you enjoyed it! Until next time!!

Hello again
So, I guess I forgot about my blog for a while......8 months isn't that bad is it?!?!?!?!
Life update---after alot of anger and rebellion, I am now living in GA and happy about it. Should I back up some? Ok, let's go back about 6 months, back then, Dad was offered a new job here in GA and the family was to come with him. I, however, being 22 years old, thought I didn't have to if I didn't want to. Afterall, I'm an adult and I had been living on my own for a little over 2 years now. Mom and Dad were not "taking care" of my anymore. Well, this is everything I thought, but boy did I have another thing coming. After a countless number of arguements and hateful words and thoughts (all on my end), I gave in and moved to GA without any kind of happiness about it. Of course I knew that GA was where I was supposed to be but I didn't know why nor did I want to admit that. I was angry and being quiet stubborn about the whole thing, and all this lasted about 3 more months after I got here. Let me tell you, it makes for very unhappy, unpleasant times to live with people you are choosing to hate and not caring how it makes them feel. So, how to solve that???? Well, I got over it. I finally had it out with them and decided to admit that I was supposed to be here for a reason, although that was unknown to all of us, and that I was going to try and make it work. What happened next.......I got a new job. I pretty good one too, on most days. Oh and then a month later I met Jeff!! <3
Jeff deserves a whole new paragraph!! He is pretty much amazing!!!! Mom tracked him down in the church parking lot one Sunday morning in April and MADE me go to his SS class. I was still apprehensive about GA at the time and really didn't think that meeting a fella would be a good idea....but boy was I WRONG!! Jeff is in the Army and is only here for another month and a half with doing his BULC(I think thats right?) 2 class. At the end of September, right before both our birthdays mind you, he leaves for Arizona where he does his Military Intelligence training for 3 months. My baby is sooooooo smart! Then come Jan. 26 its off to Germany. Yep, that's right, Germany. I know I know, that is a really really REALLY long way away....but it's ok. We have talked about this very long distance and we have a great solution to our problem.........marriage. Hahahahaha ok, that is not our final solution, but it is an option, and we both know this fact. However, I have applied for a passport finally and it should be here soon. I will be going to visit him and it will be wonderful! I can't wait. Plus, who says long distance relationships can't work?? I'll slap you in the face if you do........ We know it is will be hard but in a way it will be a great way to get to know each other better. And just think of all the photos I will get to take when I go to visit. He will only be about an hours away from Prauge(spelling?) and only a couple of hours from Venice..........OMG I can't even tell you how much I want to go there!
So, This has been my life for the most part for the last 8 months. Anger, rebellion, mind changing, liking, and falling in love. Pretty interesting roller coaster, if I do say so myself.
What have I learned???? Unfortunately, you should always listen to your parents, they are smart and they do know what they are talking about......DON'T tell mine I said that though.
What am I still learning........patience.......NOT a fun thing at all!!! It's hard and just not fun! I want it now, no matter what it is, Jeff, chocolate, a puppy, I want it now! But that's not the way it works!
So, until next time, which will hopefully not be 8 months from now,
Peace and Love
