Eclipse

Eclipse was awesome!!! Finally someone did it right. Even though New Moon was 10000 times better than Twilight, Eclipse has surpassed them all!! I am very happy with it.

I was sick the entire time watching Eclipse last night and missed several parts because I had to leave to use the bathroom. It was terrible and I still feel like shit. I only went at midnight last night because my friend bought me a ticket and we went to this Chinese buffet before hand and I think that was what got me sick. I was up all night and now I am just exhausted. I am staying home today from work because I just don't think I am going to make it all day.

So yesterday was T-minus 2 years till our wedding day!!! Woot! But of course with good news there is bad news. Greg's friends dad passed away yesterday so I think it is going to be kind of weird to celebrate our wedding on the anniversary of his dad's death. Hopefully it will be a joyous occasion instead of a bad memory.

So last night before we went to the movies and after we ate, we went to the mall and Bath and Body works had their yellow tag sale. I got an entire bag of stuff for $20.00!!!! I was so excited!!!

Tomorrow I have 3 venues to go visit so I will post my thoughts tomorrow.

Take me ouuuttt Tonight!

So I finally went out the past two nights in a row! I don't think I have been out in a while. Last night we went to this place called Crave. The atmosphere was really cool mostly Zenish and they had meditation music playing in the background. It was great up until about 10:30 when all of a sudden there were like 50-60 year old men all over the place and cougar women dressed like they were 20 years old. The group I was with were so much younger than everyone else. It was totally creepy after that. LOL!!!


Tonight we went out to my friend's house from school. During last semester I got to be really really good friends with two girls in my class. I am already really close to my friend Robby from like 4 semesters ago, but he was part of the group too. So we all went to this girl Codi's house. It was so much fun and I had such a great time. It was so great to finally hang out with my people. We are always hanging out with Greg's friends. And even though I really like them, nothing beats your people. We had a bbq and talked and drank it was great! Codi bought me a Vera Bradley coin purse with ID holder that matches the new set I just got. She is amazing, totally unexpected.


Tomorrow we are going to my best friend Graduation party at 3pm. What a crazy week and weekend. I am utterly exhausted, but I have been having fun. School stress and wedding stress have been relieved for a little bit. LOL. But back to the drawing boards on Monday.

I hate other brides!!!

I don't know about anyone else who is married here, but for some reason the girls I know that are brides too are trying to be competitive bitches. So I have this "friend" who got engaged over a year ago and it ridiculous that she tries to compete with me about the things that she has done for her wedding and stuff. Her fiancé upgraded her 1ct ring to a 2ct ring and had to come and show me. She didn't see my ring until then and she is like "oh it's so cute". SO CUTE!!! Really bitch! The ring is more than a ring to me it is a symbol of the commitment we have together and really doesn't matter how big it is. Ok so that was thing number 1.

So thing number 2. She is a biter...what I mean by biter is that she can't make any original plans on her own. She booked the same venue as my best friend did and tried to become friends with her. She booked the same photographer as two other girls we know that just got married. She just can't do any research on her own! So when she came in to visit me the other day I was talking about the venue my best friend got married at. I liked the place but the ceremony area was too small for me. This is the place: http://www.meadowwoodmanor.com/

It's nice but too small for me and plus I don't want to get married in the same place my best friend got married at. So I told her I went to this amazingly beautiful place around here and that the girl quoted me at $110 a person (which for that place is amazing) here is the place: http://www.florentinegardens.com/galleries/wedding/wedding_gallery.html.. 
as you can see it is beautiful. So she calls my best friend and said that she wants to change her venue place to this the Florentine Gardens. But here is the thing. She wants to get married on 11-11-11 so obviously it is going to be so much more money!!!  Thing number 2. So just because I got a good price on the one place she wants to change it now. UGH!

So thing number 3. I sound like Dr.Seuss. Anyway... So now this girl we both know just got married and tonight she is going to be on "Say Yes to the Dress" I don't know if you know that show but they film it at Klienfelds in NYC. She she texts me this morning saying "Nicole is going to be on Say Yes to the Dress tonight" and I said "Yea I know" then she says "I hope I got to be on TV" and then I said "Are you going to Klienfelds to get your dress" and she is like "Yea"... like I can't with this girl. So irritating. Be ORIGINAL!!! Like what the fuck!!

Sorry I just had to rant because this girl just pisses me off.

Crazy Day

Today was friggen crazy. I work for a teacher supply store and the summer is our craziest and busiest time of the year. So today was our first day of our Biggest Sale Ever!! LOL ... and well we are very understaffed because the owner wanted me to cut hours and well people just didn't want to work. I stood for 6 hours straight checking people out. Customers were getting soo pissed. I'm like I am do the best I can fucking do with 3 other girls. The line literally wrapped around the store. Not to mention the owner is on a CRUISE in ALASKA! I hate her. She calls today from the boat saying "Goodluck"... like seriously fuck you. UGH!!!

Other than that today was my grandpa's 87th birthday so we went out to dinner to celebrate. It was nice!

I know I sent you girls the website with the invitations for our engagement party, but I'll post it again because we got them in the mail the other day and I am so excited!!

I love them!! They are teacher-esq! lol

My cooperating teacher from my Practicum semester that I just finished took me out with two of the other first grade teachers I got to know last night  and we had such a great time! I am student teaching with her next semester too. She is amazing. I got really lucky with such a great teacher. I have heard HORROR stories about student teacher's with their co-op teachers. But I got really lucky!


So as you know my theme is cherry blossoms, well as soon as I got this email I jumped for joy!!!

Ok that's all for now. I am going to go watch Dear John. I am going to an ice cream party at the school I was in for Practicum tomorrow for an ice cream party. My co-op teacher and the first graders invited me. It should be cute!

Bleh

So I am not looking forward to going to work today. We just hired a new kid and he copped such an attitude with me the other day that I thought I was going to fire him if he didn't get out of my sight. Now for the past couple of nights I have been up thinking about what I am going to say to this kid. I really can't stand when people think they know what they are doing and they don't. I am the manager and his boss and the way he acted was so off-putting. I went to go pick up my check yesterday since I was off and I went to go talk to him he doesn't even look at me and says "You're not even on duty".  I was seriously about to flip!!! AHH!!!

I saw this wedding dress on David's Bridal website and I basically feel in love with it.

My First Post

T minus 2 years and 1 week to go!
So yea we got engaged May 27th at night, in my pajamas! It was amazingly perfect and romantic! I decided to create a blog so that my girlies (lexily) and other people can look at what I am doing throughout this process. Also it would be a really great memento to have once everything is over with. Our tentative wedding date is June 29th, 2012...we haven't found a venue yet but most likely we will be able to get this date since it is so far in advance.
So I guess here some back story... Greg and I have been dating almost 5 years (August 27th). I basically have been bitching and crying for 2 years now about getting engaged. The more I think about it now, the more I realized how silly I must have looked to him. He probably thought I was friggen nuts! Well anyway, it was the weekend before Memorial Day and we went out to dinner on Thursday, came home, and as I finished getting on my PJ's he got on one knee and asked me to marry him! I love him with all my heart! So here is a picture of my gorgeous ring!!!





GORGEOUS!!! 
(holy shit sorry its so huge!!)

We are planning a engagement party for August and I just got the invitations today!!! Here is what they look like. Obviously it is not mine, but this is exactly what they look like.

Here are some venues that I have checked out that I LOVE at the moment.


http://www.themanorrestaurant.com/
This place is gorgeous! Old mansion with a million rooms and beautiful grounds. I loved it as soon as I saw it. The price is reasonable but the only thing I didn't like is that there is a possibility I won't be the only bride there.And well I WANT TO BE THE ONLY BRIDE!!!

http://www.brettonwoods.net/
This is the other place I LOVED! It's an old colonial mansion. It is small and intimate. The outside ceremony area is gorgeous!  I have heard some good things about this place, the pricing is within our budget...but It kinda feels like a funeral home when you walk in. That maybe a different story when it is set up for a wedding, but it just felt a little weird.

My inspiration for the wedding is based off of Cherry Blossoms. I am huge into Japanese culture so I thought this would be the best way to express it. My color scheme is pink, brown, and ivory!

So this is the end of my first post. Hopefully you will all be loyal and continue to read for the next 2 years!!! haha...( I won't be mad if you hate me by the end of this!)
