2 months today

As the title says its 2 months today. 2 MONTHS crazy it's going so fast I can't even believe it sometimes. I mean, I really like that but all of a sudden all these wedding plans are coming at me at once. But I have to just keep reminding myself not to stress because it will all get done. We finished our invitations and will be sending them out tomorrow or wed. And you (who ever is reading this) need to R.S.V.P. before Sept 23. So send them asap. Thanks :0)

Well its final, my Molly Maid job is coming to an end and I start me new daycare job, working with School aged children at St. John's school in Beamsville. I am totally excited plus I get benefits and free yes that's right FREE membership to the YMCA (that is who I am working for the YMCA daycare) and also Matt gets one too. Sweet eh? I know I'm so blessed. This job is like a long lost repeated prayer to work with children again, and it's been finally answered.

So I took today and tomorrow (tues) off of work, because today I had orientation from 9:30-Noon and tomorrow I took off b/c wedding things need to be done. I even have a list which all needs to be done tomorrow so it's going to be another busy day. And Matty had tomorrow off too. Finally. He's been working like 7-8 days in a row has a day off then works another 7-8 days in row. So I don't see him to much and since we need to get wedding things accomplished tomorrow is the perfect day to do so.

My wedding dress arrives Sept 10, which I am totally excited about and then it needs to go for some major alterations because I've lost a little over 15lbs and when I bought my wedding dress it fit great with a little of alterations on the straps. So it is going to interesting how much work needs to be done on my wedding dress.

But that is all for now been gone all day, and now waiting for Matty to come over after he's done work at 7.

Things to do that need to be done...NOW!!!!

Life and Stuff

Soooooooooo alot has happened since the last time I've posted. Matt finally moved into our apartment and it's still a little bare it has our bed, and kitchen table and chairs, love seat and couch, BUT it justs needs a little Mare touch. Some pic's and some cool area rugs because we have all hardwood floors. I am getting really excited cause it's all starting to come to reality that in 77 days I will be a married woman... weird but wonderful. I am so amazed at how God has blessed us in planning this wedding and preparing to be husband and wife. *sigh* I cannot wait to be married and some day start a family of our own. The family part will have to wait for a while I do want to get to know Matt as my husband and then start a family.

Matt and I have been really busy with work. Sometimes our we don't see alot of each other and that sucks but I'm sure I've said this already on my blog... moving along.

Today I went to mall with mom and dad. I bought some fabric to make some pillows which are already done and I can stuff them tomorrow after church. Also I've been doing something to prepare for sending out our invitations. We are going to print them out tomorrow and then wait for ppl to e-mail me back so I know I have the right home address. So far I've had quite a few ppl respond back which is wonderful and thank you for that.

Well this weekend is almost over and that blows because another week of work is about to being and I so do not want to go to work. But for now I should go to bed and sleep b/c tomorrow is Sunday and that means church which means happy because I love our new church.

Happy and Excited

Amazing

So lots of great things have been happening to Matthew and me. We finally have our apartment. He went and picked up the key today and signed some papers. I finally got to see our apartment but only through pictures but it looks really nice. All hard wood floors, 2 bedroom, and in all inclusive. Sweet deal eh? The Lord sure does proved. So now we can go back to sears and actually put in our colors and add things to our registry. eeekkkk.

Work has been blah and I've been looking for something else. Matt and I have been praying that something better comes along. So keep praying.

But in other great exciting awesome news. My cousin Margaret from out west is coming to my wedding. I haven't seen her in 5 almost 6 years and I am so thrilled and happy I don't know if I will sleep tonight. I was talking to her on msn last night and she was looking at flights and she said she would let me know in 2 weeks. So I was praying that she would be able to come and this morning at 6:15 I checked my mail and there was an e-mail from Margaret saying she booked the flight and she's coming to the wedding. Also her flight arrives on the 27 and 12:15 am, so really in the 28th but her plane lands in Hamilton which is WAY better then T.O. So I am really happy that she is coming I cannot wait to see her. Also Katie is back from Texas and glad she arrived and came home safe. I miss her and need to catch up wiht her. I miss her so.

Well that is all for now Matt is working from 3-9 and I miss him. I haven't seen him much because our schedules right now have been conflicting which is poopy. But Congrats to Drew on getting engaged. How exciting.

Off to eat some supper
