I SHOUT OUT!

I just have to give a shout out to my in-laws. I love my husbands family. I have always been welcomed with open arms. They have shown me love from the begining! They are amazing, because they all live down here in Salt Lake, but they give us our distance. They are there when we need them. I truly enjoy spending time with them. I am almost to the point where I feel just as comfortable around them as I do my own family. We had a family Christmas party over at his grandma's house, and I loved every minute of it. There family is warm and open. They always are concerned about what is going on in your life. I couldn't ask to be married into a better family! I know the reason why my husband is so amazing, because he comes from such an amazing family. .........
SHOUT OUT TO THE REMY'S! I LOVE YOU!

I need to BLOG more

Like I mentioned before in my previous post I have been struggling lately with being depressed and want to try now focus on the positive. I am starting to see a therapist. YES..a therapist!
We talked about a problem I have and that is I think TO much, and have to much time to do this. We talked about ways I could keep my brain occupied with good things rather then letting it steer into the negative side. Of coarse get a hobby came up..ha ha! I think I have let go of some things I truly enjoy doing. I think it's important to keep our brains active. I have compiled a list for you all that I am going to be working on for the new year: GO ME for having new years resolutions done early..ha. They are actually not New Years resolutions but anyway..ha..here is the list:
1. I love to write and express my feelings. So with that said I will be blogging alot more. I am not the most amazing writer on the planet, I can't spell worth a darn, and my grammer may be bad but I LOVE it!
2. I also love to read, and I have not read to many books since I got married. Oh I love to snuggle up and read a good book. Nothing helps my brain escape more.
3. Focus on becoming closer with friends or family members I have neglected. I get to wrapped up and into myself that I don't stop to think of this. I have made it a goal to re-connect with one friend or family member a week.I have been blessed with so many people in my life that I have many that I need to bring back into my life.
4.Try a new hobby. Ok I have always wanted to make jewelry for a while now. I know starting out may be an expense but by darn this is something I have wanted to try for a while. When all the holiday spending goes away I will invest some money to start myself up on this.
5.Exercise more..of coarse that is a given. For those of you who don't know I was in very wonderful shape for my wedding and I worked out regulary for year and was very dedicated. I then got married and let it all slip away gaining 30 pounds, hence the drepression. Well, that's over now and pulling myself out. On a side note you can follow me on my fitness journy at nickandbeccaremyfitness.blogspot.com (I will post it on my blog roll).
6.I have wanted to for as long as I can remember make a quilt. Who knows why or even how to start but I am sure I could hit up some craft store. I probably need a sewing machine, but maybe my mom has a spare one...mom?? do ya?? or anyone??
7.Bake and cook more. I do this alot anyway, but I want to try out healthier recipes. I modify alot of recipes to make them healthier, but I want to try out new ingredients and get more creative. I will be posting them on my fitness blog, so if you want to copy them, they will be on there.
8.Be a better wife. Think more and do more for my wonderful husband.
9.Start playing the piano again. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. Anyone want to donate a piano to me???
10. Be a better family member SPEND more time on keeping in touch with family. DID You hear that family? SO don't get sick of me if I text you more or call you!!!

Alright, that's a good start. WOW..I feel better already....

Nick and I are so excited to come home to Idaho for Christmas. Unfortunately I don't get out of school until the 23rd. That's right...ARE YOU SERIOUS? My students are starting to lose all sense of work ethic. One kid today was bouncing in his seat for an hour like tiger and he would not calm down. Oh man..going to be a long three days next week.

Well signing off for now. I am going to o funeral for one of my former students. So sad! He was a cute kid! His personality was off the charts. He will be greatly missed!

What I am Thankful for

I don't even know who reads this blog anymore. Maybe no one, but that's ok! I like blogging sometimes because it'a way to express your feelings. I have been struggling alot lately. Struggling with my job, and my feelings about life. I guess I am having a mid-life crisis. I am 31 mind you! :-)
I decided instead of wallow in my misery and make this a negative post, I would put a different spin on it.
Since its the Holiday season, I would post what I am thankful for and what in my life is a light and bright spot.
1.I am so very greatful for my wonderful husband that was brought into my life. He is my saviour in life. He puts up with so much from and always with a gentle spirit and heart. He my friends is one in a million. I guess I shouldn't brag about how wonderful my husband is, but I can't help it. He cheers me up when I am sad, and lifts me up when I am down. He comforts and kisses my forehead when I am crying, he listens to me when I need to rant. He is my best friend in the whole world. We still spend every spare minute we have together. I feel at home with him, and I know he is my soul mate. Him alone would give me a reason to get out of the dark cloud I am in.
2.I am so very greatful for my mom and dad. I could write the same things about them that i have my husband. When I wasn't married, and even though I am married I feel like they are some of my main cheer leaders in life. They have saved me in so many ways over the years financially and mentally. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am at in life. They were like my foot prints in the sand because I haven't lived by them through my adult life, but I always felt they were there with just a phone call away. I can't count how many times I called my mom in tears, and she was the calming voice of comfort I needed. How very greatful I am for them. THey are the perftect exmaple of sticking with family through thick and thin. I only hope I can show my children half of what love they have shown me.
3.I am so very greatful for my sister. My sister and I have not seen eye to eye alot of times over the years. After putting our "differences" aside we truly started to grow as real sisters. We have started being more honest with each other about how we feel, and I feel like I can go to her and vent about anything and she will listen. We are such very different people, but we seem to find common ground. She is a wonderful example of what a true member of the church is. Fos those of you that don't know, I don't go to church and probably never will, BUT she loves me for me, and I admire her for what she believes. She not only believes it, but she lives is. She is no Sunday mormon. It's hard to find people like that, that practice what they preach. My sister is also a wonderful mother. She is a true example to me. If I can only be half the mother she is I will be doing good. Going to her house is very peaceful dispite the drama going around with the children! If I was never able to have kids, I would be happy with being around hers for the rest of my life.I love you!
4.I am greaful for my brother in law Scott. First and foremost I am greatful that he provides a wonderful home for my sister and their kids to live in. I admire his work ethic. He is a hard worker, and he wants the best for his family. He goes after his passions in life, and that is something I need to do more of. I appreciate the respect he has shown me over the years when I have been in his home. He always acts interested in my life, and willing to offer advice when I need it.
5.I am greatful for my beautiful neices. Oh how I love these little girls. Nick and I adore them. Nick is in love with them as much as me! THey are such well behaved little ones. They are so smart and loving. There is no greater feeling then one of them running to give me a hug and a kiss. I love having them around. The sounds of laughter and giggling is music to my ears. They bring light into my life when I am feeling down. I am greatful my sister got married so young and she brought such wonderful kids into my life! I am also excited to meet my new little nephew.
6.I am greatful for my brother. He is such a hard worker. I know he is a phone call away when I have any question about money! We have had some good talks over the years. I know my brother has been through alot in his adult life, but he is strong and willing to work through his problems. He is a good example of working through something and keeping your head high. I hope that our relationship can continue to grow in life.
7.I am greatful for my sister in Law Macie. She puts up with my brother! haha..No kidding, but on a serious note...the woman is alway happy. She is very friendly to every one she meets, putting them at ease. She is always asking questions about my life and concerned with whats going on. She has a happy heart. She respects my brother and his ideas in life, and supports him. She is ONE strong woman. She is willing to tackle problems going on with a head strong attitude. She is a very loyal person to those that are family. She has always shown me love and made me feel important.
Ok, there are many other things that I am greatful for and people and that will be in another post. I listed all my family, but I have not forgotten my in-laws. I am very greatful for them as well. They are wonderful.
This post helped me to reflect on what is good and light in my life. I am in a dark spot in my life right now, and having some depression issues. I want to pull out of it because I have so much to live for!

THE BIG 3-1-Reflections....

SO today I am old. I feel old..but I dont' feel I look 31! I wonder what 31 is supposed to feel like?? I suppose if I had a few kids under my belt I would look more like 31. I feel like I have been a mother for years though..teaching kids can be a mothering experience. Sometimes I feel like I am going to burned out from kids, and will not want to be one.. ha ha! Wow..I am rambling already. Alot of wonderful things have happened this last year. I got married for one. Holy Moly, can I just say what a wonderful husband I have. How in the world did I get along without him??? He completes me in so many ways. I honestly would be content if we couldn't have kids for some reason. He is my better half. I feel like we melt into each other. From the moment we started dating we have been inseperable..bad spelling..but you get what I mean! I think our friends hate us because we seriously want to spend every spare minute with each others. The weekends are spent doing everything together. We have our little routine and love it. We are not exciting people, but we get excited to be together. I never thought I would ever have such a wonderful relationship. He is just a great guy. He is respectful and loving, and just a good person. It's hard to find someone who doesn't have alterior motives in life, and he really doesn't. His love for me is pure, and un-judgemental. I can be so difficult sometimes, and he handles me in a perfect way. Ok...my shout out to him is over, but I could go on and on.......BOY do I Love that man!!
I really can't think of any other huge event that has happened in the last year. I have learned alot about myself and am ready to move forward into my 31st year! I have a feeling it will be the best year yet. I look forward to all the exciting adventures that are coming!!!
Happy Birthday to me...ha ha!!!!

NO longer Private............SO EVERYONE READ!!

I don't know why I put my blog on private. There was no reason. I think I did it by accident, and then forgot to change it back. I guess a few people still read my blog. I need to be updating this blog more often. I really do enjoy blogging to be honest. I love to read blogs. So you need to leave me a message if you actually read my blog. I wonder how many do!
On an update.............
So Nick and I have some exciting news......









...........I am pregnant........................





HA HA...ok just kidding. OH wow scared myself writing that one. On that note..no we are not ready to have kids just yet! My news is exciting to me because I feel like it's a step into something I want eventually. Nick and I have the opportunity to rent a very beautiful house for just a little more then we are paying for our one bedroom rat hole! I know, I know..you think rent, but we may end up buying it in a year. It just depends on our financial situation. It's just great we can actually live in a three bedroom house with vaulted ceilings, a deck, two car garage, and in a nice neighborhood! We would buy right now, but I married a practical man. He has zero debt, and just paid off his car. I have all the debt, and he really wants to pay mine all off before we get a house. He also has medical bankrupcy on his credit for another year and a half. The man almost died when he was 21 from pneumonia. He was in the hospital for over a month hooked up to almost every machine possible. In the end he has over 130,000 to pay off in medical bills. He decided to file for medical bankrupcy. It is a ding on his credit, but he is so good at managing money. ANYWAY.............that's the story! I will post pictures when we move in. I guess it's exciting to me because I have never lived in a house. It will feel more like a family. The people we are renting it from just redid the kitchen and two bathrooms and put in new carpet.
Also, going to Vegas this weekend! Kind of spur of the moment trip, but we decided we need to get out of town!!!
I promise to update more only if all the readers leave me a message...:-)

Need to VENT...rough weekend..and it continues!

So, if you want something uplifting..stop reading! ha. I just need to vent! I am so upset because I was dead SICK all weekend along with my cute husband. I had to miss hanging out with my family on Saturday because I was to ill to get out of bed. Oh yea, I did get out of bed to drag my butt to the shower, and also to eat..only a little though. I was emotional for missing time with my family. NOT a good day. Then on Sunday I was still under the weather..along with that, I got another bad gall bladder attack. Not bad enough mind you to go to hospital, but it was border line, and did cross my mind. It seriously lasted over 12 hours. I couldn't sleep very good. On Monday, I went into the Doctor, and they said I have developed more stones, so getting it removed would be the best decision. Surgery FREAKS me out! Along with that doctor visit, I went to the foot doctor as well. I have been getting a bunion on my right foot, and it's taken a toll on my walking. It's not bad enough for surgery, but it's no picnic sometimes. I get alot of inflamation in there. I got a shot on top of my foot full of anti-biotics. WOW..never thought I could feel such a pain in my foot. That hurt like the dickens..and I am still walking around like a gimp. I thought it was supposed to make me feel better??? Well not so much right now. Today I have to a take a half day off of school to go meet with a surgeon to see if I can take this gall bladder out of me. PLEASE Get rid of it! Well, that's enough bad posting for now. On a lighter note, I get thursday and friday off of school for fall break! YEA....!! I promise the next post will be better.........
I just had to vent!

THIS IS FOR MY SIS!

Ok Chris so you better read this because I think you are the only one that reads my blog! I wish I had some pictures to update you with but I am at school on my lap top and i don't have any..maybe i do! Things are going decent. Nick and I are so back into a routine. I hate routine sometimes. Summer was filled with fun trips, wedding, and honey moon. I mean no..nothing! Wow, I guess my attitude seems bad. I think it's more like BLAH...ha ha. I am sure everyone can relate to the routine of life.It's crazy sitting here..my mind is totally blank. I guess here is my time to thanks my lucky stars. I should list what I am thankful far..Maybe it will get my juices going in the writing department.
1.I am thankful for my job..I complain all the time, but at least I have one that pays decent and gives me good benefits. Career change? Maybe..but for now thankful.
2.I am sooooo thankful for my marriage and my wonderful husband. Really, it's so rediculous how amazing he is. I think ok, can I even find something wrong with you? I really can't. We are such best friends, and he supports me in my weak moments, and I hope he feels like I support him. He accepts me for who I am and who I can be. Goodness I love that man.
3.I am so thankful for such a wonderful family. I love that our relationship gets better and better. SHout out to SIS and MOM especially. I love that we can be more honest and real with each other. I LOVE LOVE my neices. They are so amazing. They are beautiful and so special in every way. They are straight from heaven.
4.I am thankful for my car. Without that I would have to walk everywhere, and be out in the weather. I know it's really not the most important thing in life to have a car, but I am thankful.
5.I am thankful for friends. I have honestly been a BAD friend lately. I miss so many of my friends. I think, oh man I need to get in touch again with this person and that person. They honestly are in my thoughts all the time, but I don't really act on it.That is one of my goals right now to get back in touch with friends. WHY oh WHY don't I do it? Maybe because I am lazy..or just thoughtless..I don't know. To my friends, I love you and I know you are out there.

Alright that's enough of that..lol..ha ha. I will list more later. If any exciting news comes, I will blog it!

More Updates to COME..promise..BUT....

I introduce you to my new favorite item. I finally have my own snuggie! Have you seen the comercials?? They are on all the time. Well my sweet husband brought it home for me. I have been wanting one forever, because I get so cold in the winter, and he thought they looked stupid, BUT he caved and got me one. I also made him feel even more like a man when he tried in on for a picture. I think he looks like a monk..lol. Well, I will be back to bloggin more. I promise to update on all the summer activities!

It ABOUT time for an update here!!

Alright let me start at June 9th, 2009. This is the night before my wedding mind you. I was sound asleep dreaming about my perfect wedding day. At two AM, I was woken up out of a dead sleep with some major pains in my upper stomach. I thought ok maybe I was just nervous about the wedding or I had some sort of indigestion. I don't know. I woke Nick up..YES we were together the night before we got married..SUE ME! I was wandering about my apartment grabbing my stomach just crying. It hurt so bad. I thought ok, just try and go back to sleep. Well that was a bomb! I text my brother in law, and thankfully he answered. He said the pain doesn't sound normal, so I should go to the ER. UM..wow...this is not good for sleep the night before my weddding. Being the stubborn woman I am, I still thought it was just a bad tummy ache, so I made Nick take me to Walgreens and get some antacid. I was following him around the store cluching my stomach in agony. I had never felt this pain before in my life. Finally Nick talked me into going to the ER. SOOO...long story short, after seeing the doc, getting a sonogram, I find out I had gall stones, and it was a major attach. So, we got out of the hospital at about 7:30 AM. That means I got a good three hours before the attach. I went home and slept for like an hour and half, then had to get up to wash my hair, since I had a hair apointment soon!
I really tried to hold it together..but I was freaking out inside. I felt soo out of it and tired on my own wedding. Those of you who know me best understand that getting married was the world to me, and of all days of my life why the heck did that have to happen on my wedding. It was a freak situation. I was in pain alot of the day still, and avioded taking any pills because I hate pain pills!
The wedding was amazing. I was completely in a zone, and so tired and in pain. I really tried my hardest to pull it together and put on a happy face. I was so happy that day but torn by what had happened. Nothing went wrong at the wedding and reception. It was sooo perfect in every way.
I don't have my own pictures yet but check out the photographers websight if you are that curious about it
www.moniquephotography.com (then click on view your pictures at the top left, and find weddings, then click on Nick and Becca.)
Anyway, we had a glorious day, and I will write more. I have to jet on a bike ride for now. Also next post will include a few honey moon pictures!
I just want to thank everyone who made the effort to come and support me. I was so happy to have most of my close friends and family. It was a beautiful event in my life!

Day Before and Sample of Bridals..

SO....it's seven in the morning, and I can't sleep any more. It's the day before my wedding. I am getting to excited. It's sooo unreal. I love how I feel! I got my bridals done just yesterday and my photographer already sent me some pictures...so here are a few. I LOVE THEM!!!

Friday..Friday..Friday..Friday...

So, today is my last day of school! Yea for me...eh?? Its an exciting time to be had. I am now going to be full into wedding mode. I am super excited. I am VERY anxious to get to that big day. It's sooo unreal!!

HOLY HOLY MOLY OR MOLIE..who knows!

SOooooo...in one week from today I will officially be Becca Remy. Don't you all love the sound of that? I sure do. I have my first official document with my new name on it, and it's my gym membership. That's right I FINALLY quite my job at twenty four hour fitness. The place has served me well what can I say. I met my soon to be hubby there, and pretty much every friend I have right now in Utah. With my job loss I also lost my free gym membership. Have no fear Nick is here to swoop ma up and add me onto his membership for free. YES!!!!!!!! I am marrying him for a free membership, and a free personal trainer. Think of how much money I will save on my fitness over the years. Of coarse kidding. I am soooooo excited to marry my baby! I am a bundle of nerves and butterflies all swarming around in my tummy! I so appreciate the effort some of you have made to come to my wedding. I have such great friends and family.SHOUT OUT TO YOU ALL!!! YEA!

How do you go Private?

I really hate to do this, but I have a potential ex that is creeping me out, and I think he has found this blog! Please help me if you know!

Getting SOOO Close!

I am getting married two weeks from today! I really can't believe it. It seems so close. This weeks is going by so fast already because of the three day weekend. I seriously have butterflies in my stomach since Saturday. I think both Nick and I are getting nervous, but very excited. Neither one of us like to be any sort of center of attention. It will be hard for me to have all eyes on us. I would rather blend in the back ground of events, so this is what I am most nervous about actually. I am by no means nervous to marry Nick. I have not doubt in my mind that this is what I want and he is the one. I love him so much. I don't have words to explain my love. I feel like we compliment each other so well. We went on a really long walk the other night. We were hand in hand the whole time, and I thought that moment was so perfect. We just talked about our lives, and it's just fun to get to know someone just a little better every day. I feel like I can tell him anything thats going on in my mind. I am sure some things he doesn't want to hear..ha! I have learned to appreciate the simple pleasures in life. When you find someone you love, even going to Walmart is a simple pleasure, to just be around that person. I know this is just the honey moon for us. I want to just live up this phase of our lives. I almost feel to old to be like this, and maybe I should have started alot earlier, but every one has their own time line. I have said this before but I really am greatful to have waited this long to get married. I would by far not have appreciated it as much. I feel like I know myself so much better as a person, and it helps in my relationship. My heart is full today. Well I have rambled enough. I am sure this wont be the last post before I get married! MARRIED...can't believe I am refering to myself here.. ha ha!

HOLY WOW!

SO it really is under 30 days till I get married. I took off the counter because it was wrong. It is actually calculated from the first date I had and that was the 12th. It really is the Tenth of June!! I am soooo excited to be married. I love Nick so much. He is seriously the perfect guy. SO sweet to me, always telling me how wonderful I am. He is sincere and just a genuine person. For those of you who haven't met him, I really think you will love him when you do. That is why you need to come to my reception/wedding to see who this amazing guy is that I am madly in love with! He completes me in every way. He is my life now, and I am so excited to start my life with him. I just look at him and think he is the most gorgeous man I have ever put my eyes on. I could go on and on, but I am sure it's boring to you all!! I love my NICK!!

OH wedding Bliss!

Preview of engagement pictures...he he

More Pics!

Here are some new pics. We must look Vein but there is no one around to take pictures of but each other! Are pictures together always look the same because we have to take it on our own. Anyway, I know it's a PG blog, but I had to post this picture of Nick because he is so HOT! Ha..

Love my New Dress!

Nick and I went to a wedding, and I got a cute new dress for it. Here it is..again one has to be a dorky picture!

The many faces of Becca..

I decided I am such a face puller. I don't like pictures..here are some examples.

My baby..I stole this from my sister!

1.Where did you meet your husband (fiance)?
I met him at my second job at 24 hour fitness. I worked the front desk, and he is a personal trainer. We were friends at work first. We talked and talked for hours at the front desk, and I seriously spilled my guts to him all last summer. I didn't look at him as more then a friend until right before we started dating. I thought he is such a good guy. We were both in denial for a while...then first date, magic!

2.How long did you date before you got married? We will have dated 10 months by the time we will be married. Not even a year!

3. How long have you been married? Zero years...but hope to be a life time!


4. What does he do that surprises you? He will send me sweet text messages all the time. He always does the dishes after I cook. I LOVE THIS! He will clean other areas of my apartment. He will bring me a drink at school. He does little thoughtful things for me all the time. He treats me like a princess!

5. What is your favorite feature of his? Where do I started. I love his arms, they are so buff. He has a gorgeous body all over. He has nice soft skin. Yum!

6. What is his best quality? I would have to say his respect for people. He is so respectful of me, and others. He does not gossip! I love this about him. He has good things to say about people. He is so honest, and he is comfortable in his own skin.

7. Does he have a nickname for you? Becca Boo..I love it when he calls me that!

8. What is his favorite food? He is weird and loves anything with protein. His favorite food other then protein shakes, would have to be mint chocolate ice cream. He also loves anything I cook..love it blind!


9. What is his favorite sport? He likes to play soccor. I guess if you call weight lifting a sport that would be his number one. He doesn't watch sports on TV. I am ok with this, since I am not into sports at all!

10. When and where did you first kiss? Our first kiss was the first night we went out. It was on my red couches. I know fast, but belive me I couldn't wait to kiss his amazing lips!

11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? We love to work out together. We love just being together doing anything. I would spend 24/7 with him if I could and never get sick of him. We are just best friends more then anything!

12. Do you have any children? Nooooooooooo, but hope to have a couple!


13.Does he have any hidden talents? I would have to say housework.

15. Who said 'I love you' first? I knew we both wanted to say it, but I made him say it first..lol, because he said he has a hard time saying I love you to anyone. He says it about five times a day now. I love hearing it everything time he says it. It never gets old hearing those words come out of his lips!

16. What is his favorite music? He is sweet and lets me control the music when we are together. I would have to say incubus, and some other bands are his favorite that I have never heard of. I make him listen to rap all the time!

17. What do you admire most about him? Like mentioned above I admire his honesty. I also admire his work ethic. He is a hard worker, and he is always saying he wants to provide a good life for us. I love that! I also admire his respect for woman. I have never heard him say anything degrading to or about woman, even when we were friends.

18. What is his favorite color? Blue, and Red

19. Will he read this? No

DO ya see?

SO I have 100 days until I get married. That seems like alot, but it's really not! I am soooo excited to get married! I can't wait to wear my dress, and marry my sweetie. I hate being the center of attention, so I know this may be a bit hard for me on this day, but I will try and suck it up and live in the moment!

Kids say the darndest things

Mostly this year at school has been super mellow. I lost half of my students last year! I had like 23 kids, four in wheel chairs. It was a bit hectic. My life has slown down alot at school since now I only have 12 students and two in wheel chairs. I tend to get a bit bored sometimes at school. The energy and dynamics of my class this year is just BLAH. I really try and pep them up and act enthusiastic, but it doesn't seem to work some days. I manage to still have a few laughs. My student Neil is hilarious. He has autism, so he is very repetitive. He will say the same thing some days over and over. My favorites lately have been, "But Barney, we are not dressed for the North Poo," or "Ted don't eat my gardenias, they are yuck." He will procede to tickle me and say, "I love you Becca." then the next minute he will say, "I hate you Becca, you shut up." He uses different pitches in his voice when he talks, so he will have a really high pitched voice then a low pitched voice on some things. His favorie that he ALWAYS has said is, "Becca look at me." He will seriously say this until I look at him or say, "good job Neil." Ya, it's a little exausting to say the least. I am just used to it as back ground noise. He never stops talking, EVER. He is always muttering and talking to himself. It's a bit distracting to other students in the class, but everyone just accepts it and deals with it. That is just a bit about my day if you all were curious!
PS..I am aware I have typos alot, I really just don't want to go back and fix them..:-)

I am lazy..

Ok, so I really have all intentions to post pictures up, but I am to lazy, or more forgetful to bring the camera and down load them here at school. Valentines was great. I have pics (coming soon). Nick got me a fondue pot, and I got him and espresso machine! I told him NO flowers, that it was a waste of money. He got me something better. We did exchange gifts two days before Valentines because we were to excited! Well, we tried the fondue the friday before. We took Nick's little sister out for pizza and then we all had fondue. I have pics of this too. We decided to stay in and make dinner (shushi). It was a pain! I have never made sushi before. I do know how to cook, but sushi is an unfamiliar. I got a bit stressed out over it all, and poor Nick was patient with it all. Valentines was not super romantic, but we got through it, and cranked out so pretty good sushi rolls. I have pics of those too! Yes, I know it's far past Valentines, but I forgot to write about it!

AN update..

Wedding plans are coming along very nice. Nick and have chosen a photographer, but a deposit down,and also put a deposit down on the place. We are moving right along..yea! I am getting really excited to get married. I have all the big stuff figured out. It gets me all emotional to think about getting married to Nick. I sure do love that man. He is so amazing in every way. He makes me feel like a million bucks. He supports me in every way. I hope that I give the same back to him that he gives to me every day. I have been working so hard to get my holiday weight off, and I had a complete melt down on Tuesday. He put me on a low/high calorie diet. My low days are only 1000 calories, and my high day is between 1200-1500. I usually stay on the lower range. This is supposed to help shake it up a bit. Anyway, there is no way I get through the 1000 calorie days without at least one diet coke. I ran out last week. I didn't make my meals for the week, and I was just having a bad day. Yesterday he bought me a pack of diet cook and made some stuff for my meal plan. I got home to turkey burgers and veggies cooking. It was so sweet of him! Shout out to Nick! Love love love him!

We decided on that place!

SO Nick and I have picked a place to hold the ceremony and reception! Yea! Putting the deposit down today

The Wrath of the Wedding Plans

So all of you who know me best understand that I don't work well under pressure. Starting to plan this wedding has been stressing me out a bit. The original plan was to find a yard and do it cheap. Make the food, rent the tables and chairs, do all the decorations. Yes, this would save money however, it would create so much un neccesary stress to my life. I already work over full time teaching then have a part time job on top of that. Nick and I's schedule is seriously opposite and it's impossible to get things done during the day. I work 7-3 every day and nights 6-11 two days a week. He works a split shift 7-11 or 12 then back to work at 4-9 most days. It's pathetic that we only maybe get to see each other an hour before we both want to crash out at night. Anyway, with that said trying to plan all the little details is getting to my nerves. Over the weekend I started searching on the internet for places and come to find out they are affordable. They take care of most the work. Nick and I are going to check out a place today that really stuck out to me. If we like it we will book it! Thats a ton of stress over with. We are also meeting with a photographer on Sat, so wish us luck with that too! This is all supposed to be FUNN right??? ha ha. The only fun thing I have experience thus far is trying on wedding dresses. I actually enjoyed my day with the girls. I will update everyone on what happens with the place today!

New Pics coming soon...wow..

Ok, I have pics from Christmas and some random ones, but I just need to down load them. I have been forgetful! I mean to bring my camera to school to up load the pictures, since I don't have a computer at home. Life is going good! Nick and I are trying to spend time every weekend on the wedding. We are trying to pick out a photographer! Any suggestions?? Also we are trying to find a very nice yard to have our wedding in. Any suggestions there also?? Anyone out there want to offer their nice yard to us? We would be forever greatful!!
We are trying to do the wedding as cheap as we can, yet still have it classy. I just have to say again, over and over how much I love my Nick. He is so great, and the perfect man for me in every way. I love how sensitive he is to my needs. I hope that I give as much to him as he gives to me. I just want to do everything and give everything to him! This week will be mellow. I have a teacher's work day today, and no big plans for the weekend. New goal is to connect with some of my friends SOON. I dropped off the planet after I started dating Nick.

It's been a while....

Yea, I know I have not even posted about Christmas Break. It was awesome and there are to many details to write about. I went up to Idaho for some of the break, and Nick came up for a few days. It was nice to have all the family together. I found my wedding dress while up in Idaho. It's pretty amazing. I am totally in love with it. I can't believe I found it!! I also can't believe I only get to wear it one day and that's it! Well, I will try and keep this more up to date. As for me I gotta get back to work!
