Long time, No blog.

It seems that things have been a little hectic lately. With the holidays and everything else I just haven't had the chance to blog.
But in all the time since my last blog not a lot has happened wedding wise. But one major thing has happened and that is Josh has finally found out where he will be stationed come July. We will be living in Virginia Beach, VA. I am excited and nervous. It is going to be a big change for me but from visiting Josh I know my way around down there. Also it's only about 9 hours from my family so that will be nice.
The wedding is coming up quickly. We are just over 5 months away and I couldn't be more excited! There is still a lot to be done (mainly paying things off) but for the most part we're done. Also yesterday I was able to go pick up my wedding dress and I am soooo happy! I love it so much! Now I just need to find shoes so I can get the alterations done. I've decided I want fun shoes, nobody is going to really see my shoes so why not.

Adorable

I just had to share this video with everyone! This is my cousin's daughter, a little miracle. This video has nothing to do with organ donation, but she is alive thanks to an organ donation and I hope everybody at least considers it! But now onto the video, this is super cute. It is quiet in the beginning, but don't turn your speaker up too loud or you'll be blown out of your seat!

ENJOY!

Best. Fiance. EVER.

I am sure every girl thinks this about her fiance and I am definitely no exception! I have always felt amazingly lucky to have Josh in my life, but this weekend just proved how great he is.

Yesterday was my 21st birthday and I have been looking forward to it for a while (which I'm sure most people do). When Josh asked the question, "What do you want for your birthday?" back in September I could only think of one thing, to see him! I told him that the only thing I really wanted was for him to be able to take a few days and come see me. Unfortunately, he told me that he had duty on my birthday. There was still a little hope that maybe he could take a few leave days, that was until I had my little emotional breakdown earlier this month. After he took leave earlier this month to come and see me I definitely did not think he would come this weekend...little did I know.

I had come to terms with not being able to see Josh and had made plans with some friends and my parents. I was sad I couldn't see him but had come to terms with it and was going to make the best out of my birthday. However, my dad had been trying to convince me to wait until next weekend (instead of Saturday night) to go out saying, "You'll officially be 21 and won't have any problem getting in anywhere." But I stuck to my guns and made plans anyways.

Friday when I got home from work though, I got a huge birthday surprise...Josh was here!!!!!! I was so incredibly happy and definitely speechless. He parked his car down the street and hid under blankets on the couch. I was oblivious to him being there at first but once I saw him I screamed. I have to say my birthday weekend was definitely amazing and I had a great time!

Saturday we were able to hang out with some of my friends and then Sunday we went to the Rocky Horror show with my parents! It was a blast. I got pulled up on stage and the guy that played Frank N Furter sang "livin la vida birthday" to me while basically giving me lap dance. It was hilarious! Here are some pictures:

Josh and I <3

And just in case you're wondering...my dad took video of me getting surprised! Here it is:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Anticipation

I can't believe it is Thursday already. I feel like this week, and this month, has flown by so fast. Josh applied for orders earlier this month and we should know the outcome in November. I am excited and nervous all rolled into one. The possibility of living on the other side of the country is a little overwhelming. There is part of me that's scared to be that far away from family but then there is the other part of me that knows if he gets stationed in Washington it will be a great experience. I don't know though. I guess we will see.

On a completely different note, I am linking up once again with Goodnight Moon. I have lately been listening to a lot of Adele. I love her voice. Every time I get in the car I listen to this song, Set Fire to the Rain at least once.

Seriously?

Ok seriously...who pulls a muscle in their back while brushing their teeth?? Yup, THIS GIRL! It feels better then it did this morning, but oh boy I definitely hope it gets wayyy better.

And finally for the first time ever I am linking up with Goodnight Moon and sharing my favorite song this week. This song is not only my favorite this week but one of my all time favorites. In fact it is going to be played at our wedding :)

Addicted to...

In the process of getting more involved in blogging and following more people I have discovered this website. I LOVE IT. Of course to a lot of people this website is nothing new and has probably been a staple to their internet browsing for a while. But for me it is new and amazing. There is so much stuff on it and it is so diverse. 

I am patiently waiting for my invitation to officially be a member of the website, but I'm excited. There is so much inspirational stuff!

On a completely random note...

"Are you going to school?". I get asked this question a lot. And the answer that I give to everyone is, "not right now. I'm planning a wedding and thinking about what I want to do. I'm hoping after the wedding I'll have a better grasp on what I want to do career wise." But my thinking for that answer is, "Yeah, right." To be honest I don't have the slightest clue what I want to do. I have changed my mind approximately 5 times, if not more, since graduating high school. I have had different choices and some choices I keep going back to. Yes, I know I am only 20 years old so I still have some time. But my thinking is, what if I never decide?

There are two things in life that I'm certain I want to be, a wife and some day down the road a mother. But as for making money who knows? I know that after we're married I am going to get a job. I like staying busy and I also like having my own source of income. I don't like relying on other people. That has always been difficult for me. If I don't have to ask you for anything, chances are I'm not going to.

The one thing I have been contemplating lately is owning my own business. I don't really know why this thought is so appealing to me. Maybe because I like interacting with people and setting my own pace. However, I don't see it happening anytime soon, or ever for that matter. Especially being married to a Military man. Moving constantly would not be conducive to owning my own busy (such as maybe a self-serve Yogurt Shop. Don't ask me why I want to own one of those. I just think it would be cool.). My mom has said I could start my own business online, so that way it would be able to travel with me wherever we went. This would be a fantastic idea, however, I have no clue what kind of business I would start online. I am certainly not a crafty person, so I am thinking making stuff would be out of the question. But there is one thing my mom has mentioned. In the process of planning the wedding I have had a hard time finding a lot of stuff I need. So the only online business idea I could even think of would be something wedding related. Maybe selling things I had a hard time finding. 

But right now I'm not sure. I guess the only thing I can truly say is we will see what the future holds.
