| so sadly today is the end of my three day weekend, and I'm spending all day doing homework : ( I'm trying really hard to catch up, but I have no idea how I am going to get the 7 overdue papers done it is just so overwhelming.
Speaking of overwhelming Tom and I are changing our wedding date to May 2009 because both of us have really felt like planning the wedding has been a huge burden, because we just don't have the time. I'm stuck in a wheelchair for a few more weeks and have been in it since July so I need help doing just about anything, and the most I can really do wedding wise is search online for cool ideas. Tom works almost 40 hours a week, and we are both full time students, so part of what is going to get us over arriving at May 30, 2008 and being sad we aren't married is that at least this way we will be able to have fun planning the wedding. We really wanted cake choices and of course Tom wanted to try different cakes, and we both really wanted to hear different DJs to make a decision, plus we haven't been able to save us much money as we would like, so having a full extra year will be a huge benefit. The main reason is of course I can't have my surgery during school, so it will have to be this summer, but hopefully towards the end of the summer we can do some major planning in KC, even though I'll still be in a wheelchair.
Has anyone else had to move their date? How did you or how do you think you will feel when the original date occurs? | | |
| Just a heads up on whats going on in my life, we are pushing back the wedding date from May 30th 2008 to sometime in May 2009. The first ankle surgery was extremely hard on me and I ended up a ton of medication for anxiety, depression, etc. which by the looks of things can be reduced in November to one ADHD medication based on the evalutation I will be taking. Needless to say I cannot have the second surgery during spring semester. As it is I am sitting with 7 late papers that haven't been started, learning a lot of Latin, tons and tons of reading, and a website to design for my one extra curricular I decided to keep (I'm an officer, webmaster of Sigma Tau Delta the English Frat)
I will try to update a lot more, probably not everyday, but I have tons of projects and such I will want to start in December, plus all the holidays in my life are coming up Oct-Jan. Yesterday 10/19 was Tom and I's fifth anniversary. He spent way too much money, but I adore him. I'm trying to clear through my list of friends b/c it has gotten huge, if you could just reply and let me know if you still read mine, it would help me out a lot. Thanks!!!! | | |
| So I have this table full of stuff. It has all been collecting there and I've been trying to find a place to set-up and organize everything, but because I'm still in a wheelchair (until early October). I can't really do anything with it, though
I do have some ideas now. We got our first engagement gift the day before my surgery at Tom's grandfather's funeral and we still haven't wrote a thank you note. It kind of got forgotten in the healing process. Now that I remember, I realize I also need a thank you note spot. I have an extremely long corner desk and I think once I can walk again, I will be clearing everything but the printer off and making it the wedding station. Maybe I will do a mock up soon and you all can steal my organizing ideas. The gray box by the way is holding all the free stuff I have gotten out of the mail that will be perfect for OOT baskets and bathroom baskets, the brown one on top of that, is about 20 coloring/activity books that I got free online for the kids table. In the back is my big bulky skirt to wear under the dress and my tiara and other things to wear with my dress are in the Davids bridal bag.
Speaking of which, I will be picking up my dress next weekend!!!!! It has been in since right after my surgery over 2 1/2 months ago, so you can only imagine how impatient I am. I probably won't get a pic of me in it because I'm still in the wheelchair, but I will try to get a picture of it (its in ivory not the white from the pics from before). I will also try to get good pics of my veil and tiara and all that good stuff to add to the post.
I really should use my camera more often.
Everything else up there is pretty much bags of stuff for DIY projects. Table cards, guest book, kids table, favors, etc.
Feel free to ask for pictures or particular updates, maybe it will motivate me to post and take pictures more often.
Non-wedding related but a few more pics
 
Missy is the orange one, she is normally much prettier but we had just woken her up then flashed the camera at her
Lucky aka trouble seems to like to be near all the important gadgets in our household, the exact spot he is in is normally where we keep the wii system, it just happened we were playing a gamecube game (Can you name it?), so we moved it to the floor so the cords on the controllers would reach.

| I'm going to try to pull pictures off my facebook so I don't have to download them to something else. Let me know if you can't see the pics and I'll go ahead and do it the other way. Sorry they are so big.
Anyways, I had my surgery July 10th and then spent up until the day before the party recovering (some in the hospital, some at my moms) The party was great it lasted 3-4 days (Aug. 5-8) people left when they needed to (almost all of them are from out of town)
Some pics
The big screen tv where all the video games were played
Katie and Jeff, one of my favorite pics during the time Katie stole my camera
Curtis, my sister (MOH), my mother, me in my cast, and you can sort of see Jeff's (Katie's husband) leg. Guitar Hero was the game of that night
We also played Mario Party 8 on the wii and Mario Kart Double Dash. Since there were so many people we tried to make sure there were a few 4 player games.
This is what my living room looked like with some cleaning. If you notice, playstation 2, wii, memory cards, playstation and game cube (for the wii) controllers, and of course video games, and a DDR mat. Can you guess what kind of party we had!!!!
Chris vs. Bridget at Guitar hero, and hey a pic of the groom and obsession with milk

| Not really much to update about.... actually thats completely untrue I just haven't felt like updating I'm still trying to improve upon my recovery so I'm always exhausted after pushing myself all day, plus somewhere along the way i lost a lot of readership and apparently taken off several friends list, and the point of using xanga for me was feedback and ideas, and to help others, none of which seem to be happening, though I'll take a stab at the last one.
Anyone in the KC, MO area I just booked my videographer, he is absolutely amazing, his videos are incredible, he is the nicest guy in the work, he does photojournalism style and he is incredibly easy to get along with and really well priced.
