our old youth pastor's wife posted some pictures on facebook from the youth days. It made me miss powerhouse a whole lot.

Updated picture post.

Whew I've been busy. Between wedding planning, Valentine's day, tEACHINg, and just living it's been tough to get on here and blog.
So a picure post shall do for now.

A weekend of Celebration

Friday night mother and I went to David's Bridal to try on wedding gowns. Especially since the wedding got moved up from October to August. I had no intention of finding a dress, my thoughts were that I was simply going to "browse". Shannon met us up there when I had the first dress on. I could tell from her faces alone that she was not a fan.

I tried on a total of 4 dresses and ended up being sold with the last one. It is stunning and elegant and I feel beautiful in it. I was shockingly surprised because I thought I was going to have to do hard core work at the gym, but it looks like some minor upkeep will serve me just lovely. I inspired another bride to be to try on the first dress I had on.

I also had Shannon try on the bridesmaid dress and good thing because we found out that the truffle color does not look as good as it did online so we are sticking with the latte/mocha color.

So it was decided last night that today we would come back and purchase the dress, the veil, my corsage bra, and slip. David's mom met us this morning at 10 and I tried the dress on for her also. She stated that David's eyes were going to pop out of his head when he saw me in my gown on our wedding day.

I also looked at shoes and know which ones I want (just have to go back and order them), set up my alteration appointment, made an appointment for my bridesmaids to come try on their dresses, and made a tux appointment. Dang I feel good. Haha

After that we went to Michael's to purchase 180 fake flowers for the centerpieces since all floral was 40% off ending today. We also got some other crafty related items to experiment with for various decor ideas. I was very pleased with the progress.

I love wedding planning!

My pups

pretty much sums it up

I'm cheating on my blogger.
temporarily.

sick as a dog

threw up last night 5 times
now have a fever
body aches
chills
and my stomach still hurts
i hate being sick
i hate feeling like someone took a hammer and beat my joints

I'm still here

and will be more bloggiful sooner than later.
Not really been feeling that well.

even the best made plans fall through

Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday observed was planned to do the following:
*finish lesson plans
*have Shannon over for birthday presents and visiting
*be creative/artistic
*pick up Valentine cards from WAlgreens
*pick up a few groceries

However...
now plans have changed because I have to take Josiah back to the vet because he's been throwing up since last night. (he was just at the vet a few weeks ago due to blood in his stools)

I'm trying to really find the difference in worrying and being concerned. At any rate it still makes me cry because I want everything to be okay with him.

New addition to the family!

So Kaylee made it home Tuesdsay and is getting adjusted to her new home and brother.
She went to the vet today and they said she was beautiful and healthy. She has to keep her stitches in until next Friday which sucks because that means no jumping, running, hard core activity..and she does ALL of those things. Poor Josiah. She chases him round and round and tries to bite him. He's not a big fan as of right now but she loves him.

If anyone is looking for a doggie I suggest adopting a dog or puppy because they are the ones that need you.
Kaylee's brother is here and some other precious puppies and dogs.
