It's funny how I thought I would right here more because I can make it pretty and fun, and it's not the same people I constantly read and talk to at my other journal. But I find myself writing there more and more because of alot of reasons, but mainly -  - because I don't know them. . I know some of you so I find myself withholding information that I want to say, but I don't want to be judged on or offend someone. There I can say what I want, and while I know some of those people as well - they don't judge me like I have been here.

I don't know if I'm not going to continue writing here or not, but I do think I'll take a break from writing here for a while. I do however still read your entries

My mom's birthday gift came the other day. I preordered Josh Kelleys new CD for her, and got it autographed (I talk to one of his promo guys all the time via email) so that will make her happy. . .I'm going to give it to her early so that she doesnt go and buy it!

So it's been busy. Last night I went out with my friend Lisa (can I just say I miss doing that?!) and I bought the most ADORABLE pair of wedding shoes every.  . The heel is freaking going to kill me, but I couldn't pass it up. . . .I took a pic of me in the dress the other day, so I'll have to upload it. . .I did it on my mom's cam, so I'll scan the pic in. . .

I'm going to see if I can find the wedding shoes. .

The showers are turning into a mess. . .Fred (brents dad) will ONLY  have his family over for a shower. . . so the fact that I have 3 women and 2 men on my dad's side living in ohio means either i have to ask them to come to pittsburgh for the shower, or have one for 5 flipping people here. . .and i'm not asking my mom to have two, so I guess they're driving to pittsburgh or not coming. .   I don't have any friends to throw it, or who showed any interest in doing it anyhow, and my sister is in long island, so I guess my mom will have to. blah.

I mean I seriously enjoy throwing showers for people, why on earth do people make it an unenjoyable experience?? Why can't you just be excited and get with things, rather than making it seem like a hassle.

I needed to vent here because I don't want this on my main wedding site. I already called leanne and complained for 40 minutes, but she knows exactly what I'm saying, because she knows fred so she knows how he is. . .

I'm alive Around and alive, just busy.  I just did a wedding update so you can see what I've been busy with

As for things around here. I bought a laptop.  I don't need it, and I can't really afford it, but I had to have it, and once I have to have something, there's no stopping it. When it comes to shopping I have absolultely no self control. It's a weakness I've just accepted.

The past few days have been a whirlwind with going to and from work, sorting things out and then when I come home and pop online, some of the most random people have looked me up on myspace. I've gotten in touch with people I figured I'd never see again. It's interesting.

Brent graduates next weekend, yayyy. Very excited. He picked up his cap and gown yesterday.  He's not excited for the graduation, he's just glad to be done. It's strange getting things together for school this semester, and it's only me. I'm used to it being BOTH of us I have to get stuff together for. Kinda nice, kinda strange.

I'm training a new girl at work. She's been working at the uni, but I convinced her to take my job.  My boss is going to ask for grant money for me so that I can still work if I can fit it in. I haven't gotten my student teaching assignment yet, so I'm getting nervous. But if I can work a few hours during the week here, and continue working on the weekends, money won't be so tight and things will work out.

Brent is going to apply for some jobs in Columbus but we're trying really hard to hold off until after the wedding. I'm just not loving the idea of him moving before hand.  And financially I doubt we can handle that.

So anyhow - off to work

Have a great day!
