My song this week

I can't wait to get remarried to my wonderful husband! Our big ceremony is next Saturday and I am ecstatic that it is finally almost here!

You are NEVER forgotten!

Today the ship my husband is on posted a status update on facebook wishing us a Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day. It gave me goosebumps as the status ended with, "we couldn't do it without you!"

So, HAPPY MILITARY SPOUSE APPRECIATION DAY to all the wonderful, faithful, caring men and women holding down the homefront!

Shameful

My song for today

I have loved this song for quite some time. It first came out when Ryan was still deployed and even though it isn't the type of song to give you chills or bring tears to your eyes, it did just that to me. I just found this version (I was looking up Rachel Lampa songs) and I LOVE it!:

Gettin down to the BIG wedding wire

Things have been real crazy these days. It seems like there's always something, every day. We are doing as much as we can from 1,000 miles away from the venue but I still feel like I'm not doing any of my wedding planning.

Yesterday I went in for my second fitting. The dress was coming together wonderfully but needed taken up in the arms once more due to the back still gapping a little bit. Figured out that I can't wear the $40 bra that I got for it because it shows at the top of the dress in the back. Decided I am just going to buy those gel inserts so I have a little extra protection. Anyway, I get to get the finished product in 2 weeks and I just can't wait to have the dress in my possession again. I feel like someone stole it.

Yesterday we went and bought sea shells that will be in the bottom of the centerpieces along with clear stones and possibly sand. In case you can't tell, the reception is "beach" themed. We have a 8 ft light up palm tree that will be sitting behind us at the head table. There are many other things that I guess I just don't really know about or remember but I have a lovely picture in my head.

I am putting my bridesmaids bouquets together. Here is the idea I have thus far. It's a rough draft, not glued together or anything, but so far people have liked it. I like it. There are only one or 2 changes I plan to possibly make, but this is pretty close to what it will look like. I'm really glad that I am blessed enough to have the artistic eye needed to put bouquets together. This could have been a lot more expensive, but it's bearly going to hit $100 by the time we are done.


I found some really cute coasters that are beach themed on orientaltrading.com and I think they would be a good addition to the tables so we may get them.

Last but not least, this is our beautiful guestbook set. It has been my favorite ever since my parents first showed me the sets they had saved for me to look at online. They made sure I got it even though they had to go through some hoops to get it at the $60 and under price my dad had set.









That's all I got for today but I have a feeling you guys will be along for the ride on this crazy wedding rollercoaster!

Take a pregnancy test! A tmi blog.

That was the statement of the day for me yesterday. You see, I'm pretty much never EVER late for my period but I was 3-4 days late yesterday. The day before yesterday I had a light pink discharge for just a couple of hours then it stopped and still no period. Finally when the hubby got home from work yesterday, we went to get a pregnancy test. The test said not pregnant so I said "We'll just see what happens within the next few days" and we went about our night. I began preparing myself for what could be the biggest change of my life and started to really want it.

Just when I thought I still hadn't started my period today (as it wasn't showing face when I first used the bathroom this morning) I used the bathroom for the second time today and there it was. I must admit, I'm a bit let down. Not so sad that I'm going to cry or anything but I just looked into the symptoms of early pregnancy and the only one I wasn't experiencing was "morning sickness". I also have questions as to why the light pink discharge then nothing for a day and a half? Was I too stressed out about not starting? What gives?

I know one day when the time is right God will bless us with the most beautiful baby in the world, I just don't like the mind games right now. We are married and doing it the right way. There are soo many people in the world that had unprotected sex ONE time and got pregnant with a baby who's dad isn't even in their life now.  I know, we aren't TRYING to have a baby, but as my husband said, we aren't NOT trying either. We almost always have unprotected sex. The only time we don't is around my highly fertile/ovulation period. That's it. Meh, in due time Brittany. In due time...
