Sad news

Well, I thought I would let you all know that I am no longer engaged to Danny. I found out some things that he was doing that made me call the wedding off. Things like faithfulness. I'm doing ok I guess. For the past week I've just been numb but now that the numbness is wearing off, I miss him like crazy. I can't stand it. My mom and Dad have been so supportive, even his parents have been. They were devasted but told me that I did the right thing even though they hated saying it. I'm sorry to say that I'm not really going to be on here at all anymore. Thank you all for supporting me through everything. I love you girls.

Still going...

Well, I'm still working on invitations. But the wedding is moving right along. We had our last meeting with the pastor, and we can officially get married now. YAY! No new news about Iraq yet. I am looking so forward to everything that will be finally coming together. It seems like I was planning forever and now it is all happening so fast. I can't wait. Nothing else new is really going on. Same ol' Same ol'. Work, wedding, school. It's pretty much my life. I just thought I would check in and say hi. Wish me luck on the invitations, it is so hard to make myself sit down and do them. Ha, I've had time just no drive. LOL.

Busy Busy Busy

Ok so since I last updated, we sold our house and we moved into an apartment. Needless to say it's been pretty hectic around here. Living in this apartment isn't too bad. I'm sharing a room with my sister, which we both actually enjoy. See, we shared a room until I was in high school that is one of the reasons why we are so close, well we are excited to share a room because now we can spend time together again.
I recently took 4 days off and today is my last day off, I started writing out the wedding invitations last night. I have 103 to do, needless to say my hands are getting really tired. My rule is to do five and take a break. I stopped doing them at 1 AM last night and I have less than 38 done but it will take awhile because I am handwriting them all.
I finally got to see Danny. He was home for Easter. He was only home for like 2 days but something is better than nothing. Those two days were amazing and they were exactly what we needed. I can't wait to marry him...sigh. Anyway, while he was home I found out that he might be going to Iraq in September as oppose to December. That is way too soon. Hopefully it is the typical Army rumor. But keep him in your prayers that it won't be September.
Other than that, well I don't know, that stuff pretty much consumes my life, haha. I am so excited to get married, I can't wait. I will try to update as often as possible but no promises, we don't really have internet yet, I'm bumming off someone else...shhhh. Tee hee.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Well needless to say I am STILL alive. Ha. I've been super busy lately. Like this week for example, I worked 46 1/2 hours, and I know some of you are thinking....that's nothing. But for me it is. I am exhausted. I worked Monday through Saturday, and I had a 12 hour shift today with 1/2 hr lunch. It is ridiculous. Plus it's my spring break, well was...it's over as of tomorrow. Oh well. I am excited, my last day of work is April 30th. And I do love the people I work with and will miss them, but I am still excited. I am taking the last month off to pack to move to Texas, finish all the wedding stuff, probably move some stuff down to Texas, but mainly I just want to RELAX, and enjoy the wedding planning. I haven't gotten much time to do that lately. I am really looking forward to it.
Danny didn't get to come home AGAIN this month. I am really getting sick of that. We have 91 days til our wedding, I need to see him and plan, but mainly I just want a hug and a kiss. Yesterday I went and registered with my mom, cuz like I said Danny didn't get to come home. I had fun anyway. I found out today that someone might be putting a contract on our house, so now we have to find an apartment to live in pronto. I am really getting frustrated with the lack of organization and planning here. But still rolling with the punches.
I have good news....I found a taylor that can take my dress out. I was just on a diet to fit into my dress but I really didn't want to loose that much weight because I finally have the body of an adult, and Danny loves it. Besides, for me to fit into my dress I would have to be "underweight". Do you know how hard it is to loose weight to make your body become below the average weight for your height? It is not easy without being anorexic and I just can't do that, I love food too much. Haha. So now I am excited, and I am still watching what I eat but no more meal bars for me, THANK GOD! The only problem with this taylor is that when we walked into her house, it wreaked of cat pee and cigarrette smoke, it was disgusting. I thought oh man I have to leave my dress in this house?!! What is it going to smell like when I get it out? Well I have a good idea now because I bought my veil from her and put it in my closet...my whole closet smells like smoke now, it is so gross. That veil is in a plastic bag and it still smells. BLAH! My mom says we'll just get the dress out early and leave it in an empty room to air out like one week before the wedding. We'll see...
I am still taking classes to be an RN and I am loving it. Well right now I am getting all the science prerequisites out of the way, I am in anatomy and physiology and I am enjoying it so much. I really think I made the right move when I changed my major.
The weather out here has been ok. It was super nice lately, like 80 but today it was SNOWING!! Yeah that's right snow. It is insane. And I refuse to accept it. I have been refusing to wear a coat because it is March and I just don't want to accept that I need to wear a coat in March. It was hard enough for me to put on a sweater. But I think I am just going to suck it up and wear one cuz I certainly regretted not having a coat today.
I think that is about it for now. I hope everyone else is doing good, sorry I haven't been keeping up like I should, I will try to be better. I promise. Oh last thing, I don't know if I've said this, but Danny has to go back to Iraq, for now we think he is leaving in December, I'll keep everyone updated. LOVE YOU LADIES!!

FOR SALE

So as of two days ago our house has been "For Sale". It is soo sad. I have lived here for 20 years..oh well not much I can do. It really sucks though because we have to keep the house spotless..looking like no one really lives here..it's insane. Other than that, my life is a little less hectic I guess. Still working and going to school. Work has been really busy. Everyone is buying new furniture with the money from taxes. Danny and I haven't gotten to talk much lately since he is in Beaumont. The shifts are funny and he has to share a hotel room with one of his friends. It's kind of funny though, his friend is always in the background saying "I LOVE YOU COURTNEY" and stuff, the other day he sang it to me. It makes for interesting conversations. Anyway, that's about all there is to update with right now. I will post again soon.

I finally did it!!

I know it took me forever to create a new blog and I am really sorry. I have been busy busy busy. I have been working and studying and trying to get as much wedding stuff done as I can in my free time. But here it is, my new blog, from now on I will be posting from here. Right now Danny is back in Texas and back at work. He was supposed to be coming home this next weekend and we would celebrate his birthday(Feb.8), Valentine's Day, and my birthday (Feb.28), but the Army was dumb and gave him a detail in Beaumont, Texas. He has to drive the tanks that just came from Iraq off of the boats. It is so dumb. So now my wedding registration is getting put off, and we aren't going to be able to put an engagement announcement in the paper because by the time he comes home (which will hopefully be in March but I don't even know) it would be too late because there are too many summer weddings. Sigh. Anyway, I have all bridesmaids dresses ordered and my invitations are at my house, (they tell you to order this stuff early and they always come in within a week, I guess better safe than sorry). I also have the church decorations picked out and the flowers picked out. I am soo excited but also incredibly stressed. My parents decided they want to move, which really sucks because now I am moving somewhere else in Missouri AND I am going to be moving to Texas all within 4 months. I get stressed pretty easily and this is killing me. So with that my parents are trying to get rid of stuff but I am just going to keep bringing stuff in, and I won't really have anywhere to put it. Oh well. Oh and I kept buying furniture for my future house in Texas because since I work at a furniture store I get 30% off so I figure, save money, buy now. But now I have no where for it. I am also on a diet right now, because I can't zip up my wedding dress, I am kinda freaking out about that. I hate dieting too. I have never done it in my life. I have always been super skinny, which unfortunately is why I don't fit in that dress anymore. I ordered it forever ago because it would have been discontinued. So there it is, my life is kind of hectic right now, but I am trying to keep my head on and stay CALM! We'll see what happens, ha. And I am going to use Flickr now so here are all sorts of pics that I never had up, including, the dress, and Danny's return.
