Contests

When I registered at David's Bridal; I can only assume that they pass your information around to different businesses to help you with your wedding. I have had several calls from After Hours Formalwear for the tuxedos. I explained that my wedding is still over a year away and I'm not interested in worrying about the tuxedos quite yet.

I think they must also put your name in contests to win things because yesterday I received a call from someone at Mary Kay stating I had won a free makeover and a bag full of goodies. So, tomorrow at 6:00 pm; my mom and I will go get my free makeover and learn all about the correct makeup for my skin color, face shape, skin type, etc, etc, etc.

I'm excited about it because I rarely wear makeup; however, I love getting made up by a professional.

I love winning things too!!! When I come up, I'll take a picture and post it of my free makeover so that you can see how it turned out.

He'd love you without the vote because he loves every one he meets. He's our precious baby dog.

Thanks for your vote!!!!

Dieting Yo-yos

I was on Weight Watchers for almost 2 years and lost almost 50 lbs. I got bored with it and quit back in the early part of May and now it's August and even though I hate to admit this; but I have gained back 24 lbs. 24 lbs is ALOT of weight considering that's a size that I gained back. I can still weigh my pants that I had lost down to but they are snug now where they were really loose.

Tuesday, my mom and I started back to Weight Watchers. I know Weight Watchers works and you CAN lose weight on it; it's just not giving up. I have a year and 7 days until my wedding and I need to lose about 50 lbs before the wedding. I know I can do it because I've done it before; it's just actually sticking to it.

I would love to be able to go on my honeymoon and actually be comfortable in my bathing suit on the beach/pool, etc.

Once the weather cools off; I'm going to start walking again. The weather just makes it impossible to walk around the neighborhood.

I have faith that I can do it and it helps to have support from my mom. So, hopefully, you'll start seeing my weight loss numbers start rising again.

Lost Miners

I have been keeping up with the status of the lost miners. It just hit me of an idea; which now is a little too late for these miners, but definitely could save the life of future miners found in this same predicament.

Why don't miners be required to wear a GPS locator when they are working? At least this way, they know exactly where the miners are and don't have to guess where they think they may be.

You know there has to be a way that this could be done and it really could save lives. No, I'm not the next American Inventor; but it is a thought. I know you can't prevent things like this from happening, but if it did, you could get to the person a lot faster if you knew exactly where they were.

My thoughts and prayers are with the miners family and friends.

Maid of Honor/Bridesmaid Dress

If you know me, you know I love eBay. I love shopping on it and I can normally find a great deal. Well, with my wedding, I turned to eBay again.

I got a great deal on my invitation paper and an even better deal on my Maid of Honor/Bridesmaid dresses. My colors are going to be chocolate brown and pink. I'm only having my Maid of Honor, Mariel and then one bridesmaid, which is Ashley. I just needed two dresses alike and in the right size. Well, I found them on eBay and they are absolutely beautiful.

The description didn't say they were from David's Bridal; but when I got them, they were!!!!

Did I say how much I love these dresses?

Wedding Web Page

We have an "official" Wedding Web page and the link is on my side bar; however, you can click here to view the page.

Please check it out periodically for updates and the latest news. The picture of Shane and I that is on the Web page is from my 20th High School Reunion and will be changed as soon as we have an engagement picture taken.

Updates

Even though my wedding is a year away; I've been busy planning. I designed my own invitations and got a great deal on eBay. I was able to get exactly what I designed and can't wait to actually make them.

I found my bridesmaid dressed on eBay and got an EXCELLENT deal on two of them. I'm only have my maid of honor(Mariel) and then a bridesmaid(Ashley).

The tuxes will be rented so I really don't have to worry about them anytime soon. I have someone that is going to make my cakes; so that is taken care of also.

All I have left is where the wedding will take place and the reception. I get my dress out of layaway in a month.

Oh, I do have the flower girl dress and my headpiece and veil left to get. Shane's stepmother is doing my flowers so that's all set to.

Now, just if August 30, 2008 was near.
