Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

Finally getting excited...

Wow... So SORRY ladies (and gents). I cannot believe I've been so MIA! This whole temp job thing is wearing me down. Not to mention I have 3 1/2 weeks... YES!! 3 1/2 WEEKS!! AHH!

Well at the beginning of this month, I payed a visit to my "people" at H&R Block to file my taxes.

As you all know, I am unemployed at the time (just working a temp job) and wasn't sure where I was going to get the money I had committed to pay for the wedding. Well IRS to the RESCUE! Not only did I get a bunch of credits I didn't know about, but I got back way more than I thought I was going to...

And last Friday, I got a nice deposit in my account... so happy me is now excited because I don't have to worry about where the money I had committed to pay out is coming from :)

YAY!!

Dancing Machine

So if you live in upstate South Carolina and have been out in downtown Greenville I am sure you have had the pleasure of seeing this man in person. I know I have and it is quite entertaining! Here is a video of him at a local bar in Greenville!

Clearing up the Honeymoon

So I think I was a little confusing in my Honeymoon post...

Our Honeymoon has been planned and is paid for (his parents are gifting it to us). The think is that I don't know where we are going. It is a surprise and I will find out when we get to the airport.

These are the things I've been told:

To get a passport.

To pack for warm weather.

SO now I only have 34 days and I get to find out where we are going on our wonderful all inclusive honeymoon!

Ok so I'll take a moment...

to Update you ladies on what's been going on in the last week.

Man I honestly don't think I have had a moment to breathe until today!

It all started Monday, I've been working through a staffing agency that is helping me to try and find a job. I got a phone call from them saying that a company I had interviewed with for a different temp job wanted me to come for a different position. So I started Tuesday. It was only supposed to last 2-3 days however it's looking like it's going to be another 2-3 weeks or more... which is good and bad. Good because we needed the money and I making $10 an hour so that $400 before taxes a week while my unemployment was only paying me $174 before taxes a week. Bad because, ummm like y'all didn't know... I only have 5 WEEKS and so much going on!

Tuesday I had to work and then we went to dinner for Michael's birthday (it was Jan 29 but that was when we could go to dinner with his parents). Wednesday I had to work and then go to my parents (an hour away) to file my taxes so I could get my return to help pay for the wedding. Thursday I had to work, but got off at 1 because I had a wedding festival to work. Well I got there at 1 and didn't get off my feet until I fell onto my couch at about 9pm! Friday thankfully we didn't have much after I got off work, but we did have stuff Saturday (but that's another post)!

I feel like such a heifer because I didn't go to the gym once this week! I did by a new video game for my Wii called My Fitness Coach so I did that Monday and Tuesday, but I wasn't able to do any other. Ugh!

Well thankfully next week and I think the next should be better because I have to LIVE at the tanning bed the next two weeks! I have my bridal portrait on the 21st so I need to get tan!

Well I think that's enough rambling for now... I'll be posting some new stuff here soon because I have lots to share :o)

Real Quick...

Hey ladies! Look so sorry I've been MIA the last few days... this week came out of NO WHERE! I got a call Monday that a company I interviewed with last week wanted me to TEMP for another position that was supposed to be 2-3 days. Well looks like it's going to be longer. I had to file my taxes today too.. AND I have another bridal festival to work tomorrow here in Greenwood... I've got so much to do that I may not be back until either Friday (I hope because I have LOTS to post) or Sunday where I will have some downtime!

I have my first fitting Saturday AND my first shower so I definitely have lots... I promise I'm not leaving you ladies :) I love you all WAY to much... probably more than is normal :)

I'd like to introduce you to...

Our ZOO! That's right, I have a zoo :)

We have a 2 year old Basset Hound named Daisy May...

And 4, yes I said 4, cats...

And no, Bandit is not as evil as he looks LOL! That's all thanks to dark room + bright flash! While some people think that it's too much, we wouldn't have it any other way! We LOVE our zoo :)

My Journey to "The Dress"

So sometime last summer, I started my journey to finding the perfect wedding dress. Shop after shop, I found wedding dresses that I loved, but they weren't "perfect."

This was the first dress...

While it is a beautiful dress, and I thought it could be the one... something just kept saying "Keep Looking" so I did.

This was the next one, and it had everything that was missing out of the first dress. I wanted sweetheart and lace up... but after going back and trying it again, it just wasn't "The One"

This one was a high contender... but while I LOVED the front, I felt like the back just didn't match. So I moved on....

And while this one was beautiful too, I just didn't want a dress with pickups. So the search continues...

This was a contender... but I'm not a lace girl so I of course moved on again.

According to my dad, this was "the ONE" but I eventually nixed it, because I was in LOVE with the back but not so much the front.

So I began to get really frustrated and began to wonder if I would ever find one that would make me feel that feeling.

One day me and one of my bridesmaids were bored so we went to look at dress where I live. I didn't expect to find anything at all considering we live in a small town. Well then it happened, I put this dress on and walked out and...

BURST INTO TEARS!!!!!

My bridesmaid felt it too and we called my mom and said you HAVE to come down here.

And here it is...

Hahaha! You really think I would post a picture before the wedding. Negative! My Fiance has a blog too and he's always looking at mine! Only 46 more days and you all can see it :)
