What's New....

Let's see! Christmas is TOMORROW!!!! Which is crazy...We put lights on the house last week...it looks awesome!!!



We got a photographer, which makes me uber happy, she is really cool and energetic. I am really confident about her, she def. knows what she is doing.

We went to Lake Lanier the other night, it was AWESOME, I loved it. Lake Lanier is one of my family traditions.

We also went and saw the Nutcracker last weekend, with Lathe's cousins, it was something that I will never forget, then we went to Krispy Kreme, we were there FOREVER! The next night we went to Lathe's Grandfather's home and had an eggnog party, we exchanged presents, did grab bag, ate and hung out. Poor Lathe's allergies really kicked in and he has been sick ever since.

I talked to a friend of mine today, they said that they did something and the person they are dating will probably not forgive them, so I did what I could to make them feel better.

Lathe and I have been opening Christmas presents early, and he got me a game that I really wanted, it's called BUZZ, it is for the PS3, and I LOVE IT!!! I have not stopped playing it since I opened it. It is so much fun and EVERYONE loves it. Lathe, Diane, Bub, Em, Kelli, Katie and I have spent countless hours playing it, and it so sooooo much fun. Anyone who wants to play it, just let me know....it's AWESOME!!!!

Tonight (Christmas Eve) we are going to Diane's for dinner. Just to hang out and enjoy some time together. Christmas day, we are going to just hang out the two of us. Go see a movie or something.

Whenever, Christmas time comes around, I really start to think about how grateful I am for everyone in my life. I wrote 55 Christmas Cards, and got probably 20 to 30 cards. I just love Christmas and my life.

I have 136 days until I become Mrs. Helms. AHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Update

So, nothing much is going on. I am still looking for a job and have gotten NO WHERE!!!! It is stressing me out more than I can explain. I actually broke down the other night and poor Lathe had to pick me up and put me back together. lol

Wedding plans are going great...I'm going back and forth between using fake flowers and real flowers. It's a hard decision...lol But honestly, if that is my hardest decision then I am doing pretty good.

Lathe and I are so excited...it feels so far away, but I know it will be here really quickly.

We decided that for now, our honeymoon will be going to DISNEY WORLD!!!! We really can't afford to do what we wanted to do, which is go on a cruise, but that is totally fine with me. As long as we get to have time to ourselves and we relax, I'm happy.

I can't believe that Christmas is right around the corner. I love Christmas time, all the decorations, and pretty lights. I am waiting until after Thanksgiving to decorate though.

I guess that is about it. My life is just the same as it has been for the past months. Nothing new, or exciting, other than the wedding, of course.

Lathe's company is hosting a Casino night in a couple of weeks, I am really excited about that. I think it will be cool to have a night out that isn't extremely expensive on our part...lol. I am uber excited.

172 days to go! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Just some thoughts...

So, Holiday season is coming up. With not having a job, there is very little income coming in as so shopping is a little harder. haha I have been job searching like crazy....and have applied for more jobs that I can count. It sucks getting rejected.

Everything for the wedding is done, planning is done and over with and I am so glad. I could not be more relaxed and not stressed about the most important day of my life. I am going to start taking prenatal vitamins to get my body ready for having a baby. We aren't going to start trying until after we are married, though. I also picked out my dress a little over a month ago, it gorgeous and it's a size 4, which surprised me.

I am stressing over some drama right now. Involving my ex, not going to get into that right now, but I just want it to be over with. I want him and his family out of my life.

Katie boo just turned 1, and I can't believe it. She wasn't to excited about the whole cake and everything. I think she was overwhelmed with all the people and toys all in her face. She is growing up so fast.

Lathe and I are great, he is working like crazy and I hate the time we are apart, but I love the time we share together. He is my everything and I love him so much. I am so grateful for him and everything he has done for me.

199 days to go!!!!

Today was the BEST DAY EVER

So, today I got to spend the whole day with Lathe. He slept in until about 12:30pm and then we got up and went to IHOP for lunch. Then, we went to the Georgia Aquarium and we got there about a hour before it closed, so the tickets were 1/2 off. There was no one there and we walked through it in about 45 minutes. Then, we just walked around for a little bit and took in the beautiful sites of Atlanta. haha

After the aquarium we went to a Braves game. We actually bought tickets from the dude that owned the parking a lot. At first, we were hesitant to buy the tickets, but then this other couple told us that it was okay. So, we got two tickets for $10.00, so we got each ticket for $5.00 a piece. Then, after we got in, the couple that told us it was okay to get tickets from that guy gave us their Season Pass tickets, because they know all the ushers and can sit where ever they like. So, we sat in the front row of the outfield. It was AWESOME!!!!! Unfortunately, the Braves lost 6 to 1. But it was okay, the game interesting and we last ending we FINALLY scored. It was crazy.

I could not of asked for a better day. Lathe needed the day off, and it was perfect.

Tomorrow (Thursday) we are going to some restaurant with some of the guys from Nielsen, so that should be fun. Later!

Today is going to be a GREAT day!!!!

So, today Lathe is taking a personal day, and I am so glad. He needs a day off. So, we are going to the Georgia Aquarium and the Braves game. I'll write more afterwards.

I'm still tired....

Well, nothing much has been going on, but that's normal. Still no job.

Two nights ago, Lathe and I had a big scare. I got a message through myspace from Brad's sister asking me if I had heard from Brad. His neighbor called her because they had not seen Brad since Sunday and his garage was still open and his dog was locked in the cage and had not been fed in a while. Well, Brad has a history of "disappearing" so we rushed over there and found nothing. Brad's neighbor took the dog and let Max (the dog) play in the backyard with their dog. I decided to call some of Brad's friends, so I called Rick and who should answer but BRAD....I was so mad. Apparently, he went over there to visit Rick and just ended up staying. He had us all worried....but I'm over it and we are going out with him tonight...

Last night, Katie boo spent the night for the first time in like ever. It was great. The original plan was for her to just come over and I was going to watch her while her parents went out, but then Bub suggested she just stay so that way Diane and Tony could have a good night sleep. Katie is very mommy attached, but she was perfect and didn't fuss, didn't have one problem with her. I didn't sleep though, I am a very lite sleeper when she is hear because she isn't very loud when she crys or wants something. So, after Diane came and got her I took a nap and just woke up.

240 Days to Go!!!!!

SICK!!!!

I am sick! I don't know what is going on but I feel like shit. I have not been sleeping very well, and I am just feeling like crud. My body is rejecting just about everything, I am getting terrible headaches and stomach pains. I am just feeling bad right now, and I want to feel better. Lathe is being wonderful and taking great care of me. I don't know what I would do without him right now. He was all concerned and holding me close and taking care of me. It feels good to know that someone loves you and wants to take care of you. He is so wonderful.

On a happier note, I think I have picked out a bridesmaid dress. I went online to David's Bridal and was just kinda looking around and I really like this one dress, and I think that it is the dress I am going to go with.

I'm going to go to bed because I don't feel good and I need my rest. What is better than sleep?

Update....

So, nothing has really been going on.

I am still looking for a job, but nothing so far. I guess the job I am supposed to have will come to me.

Lathe and I registered for our wedding. We spent all last weekend at stores registering. Saturday, we went to Party City to order invitations. Then, we looked at wedding stuff...just to get ideas of favors and flower girl stuff. Then, we went to Michael's and looked at more stuff to compare prices. Then, we went to Kohl's to register, and we registered like crazy. We scanned so many things I don't even what we scanned. Then we went to Erin's very late graduation party....hehe That was fun...the pictures brought back memories.

Sunday, we went to JcPenney's and Macy's and registered some more. I think we registered for almost the same things at all three places, so I am going to go online and fix that.

I am so excited...262 DAYS TO GO!!!! I keep having dreams about it...and they are all good dreams, and funny dreams. I ordered a pizza the other day and the guy called me Mrs. Helms and I really liked that....hehe

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

WEDDING STUFF!!!!!!

272 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!

So, I just read Megan's blog, and it got me thinking about wedding stuff again...not that I haven't stopped thinking about it.

First of all, I want to say that I feel so lucky that I have Lathe in my life...he is the best...and he does whatever he can to make me happy. I am so glad that he walked into my life that day, neither of us had a clue that we would be meeting our soul mate. I love the way he makes me laugh, and smile. I love the way that he will always make time for me, and we always have fun together no matter what we do, even if it is just staying home watching movies. I love that from the moment that we met, it was just meant to be. There were sparks and fireworks, and it was just the best moment of my life. I love that I still look at him and get butterflies in my stomach. I love when I look at him and I realize how lucky and blessed I am to have him in my life. I love that I can still look at him and wonder how in the world I got him, and how lucky I am that he was not snagged by some other girl. I love Lathe!

Next, the wedding plans are coming along so great, and I am so happy that it is not stressful and I can actually enjoy this time. I know that a lot of brides stress themselves out around this time, and I am glad that I am not one of those brides. My bridesmaids may kill me if I became a bridezilla...Lathe may kill me too! haha I am working on getting the invitations and then we are going to register somewhere. I don't know where we are going to register yet, but we have a couple places in mind. I have an idea of what I want the bouquets to look like, I just need to get them done the way I want them done....if that is possible. I figured out that Katie (the flower girl) is going to walk down the aisle with a basket that has white and blue petals. I am going to dye some white petals blue.

I am kinda tired of typing right now, so I will add more later....haha

LESS THAN 9 MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!!!!

I need a JOB!

I am in desperate need of a job. I really need some sort of job...part or full time. I am a little desperate. I want to help Lathe pay for this wedding, because we have to pay for it ourselves, and it isn't fair for Lathe to have to do it himself. So, if anyone knows of anything, PLEASE let me know.
Thanks! I am just stressing about it...and it's sucks. I need help!

Busy

So, I didn't get to type much over the weekend, it was kinda a busy weekend.

On Saturday, I went to Megan's for a girl luncheon. There were six of us....Megan, Erin, Bridgette, Caroline, Mollie, and me. We sat down and ate, and caught up. It was so much fun. After that, I went to pick up my baby girl, Katie. Brought her to the house for a little while, and then Diane came and got her a couple of hours later. Meanwhile, Lathe and Bub were working on the Grand Prix GTP. They were all gross and dirty. Then, Lathe and I went to Bassanos for dinner....

Sunday, I got up and went to breakfast at McDonald's with the Ferris'. They are a family from the daycare that I used to work at. We sat there and talked for about an hour or so. It was nice. Then, I got Lathe some food, took it home for him to eat and then we went and picked up the kids. Lathe and Bub worked on the car some more, and Em and I just sat and watched movies. Actually, I kinda slept more than watched. Then, the rest of the family came over and we at hamburger and hotdogs. It was great.

I love my life and my family......

Wedding

Today, I met Megan and Erin at Fazoli's for lunch and then we went to Little Gardens. Megan and Erin wanted to see it. It just made me more excited about getting married. I love Lathe and I am so excited to be his wife. We walked around and picked out areas that would be good for pictures and we kinda planned the setup how I want the reception to work.



Anyway, I need to find a job and it is really stressing me out. I can't figure out what kind of job I want. I can't figure out what to do.


Well, I am on my way to babysit Katie. I love that baby girl!

First Blog!

Okay, so I am new to this....Thanks, Hayley!




Today, was kinda a bad day! I had to go to the dentist and it sucked. I had to get a root canal, because an ex of mine, hit me in the mouth, on accident, and killed my tooth/the root. Anyway, it was painful!!!! The numbness wore off and the dentist's assistant would not listen to me, she just kept stabbing my gum. So, I texted Lathe and told him what was going on and he raced up there and took care of it. By the time he got there, I was sobbing and screaming in pain. It was so ridiculous. The appointment started at 8 am, and I left at like 10:45 am. I was so mad and frustrated. So, after paying $470, I finally got to go home. The dentist gave me some special mouthwash for my gums, because they are infected. She gave me the mouthwash for free, so that was at least decent of her, considering all the pain I was in! After that, Diane and I passed each other on the road, and she turned around and came over to take care of me and make sure I was okay. I was so grateful. Then, the rest of the fam came over and Diane cooked tacos and they were so good. I gummed them, but I enjoyed them. hehe Then, the boys worked on the Grand Prix that they bought yesterday, and got all dirty. Now, I am basically just relaxing and letting the swelling go down on my gums and my mouth.







Lathe and I are getting married in 282 days! I can't wait! We are getting married at Little Gardens in Lawrenceville. I already booked it, got engagement announcements done, I'm waiting on the Save The Date magnets. I am so excited and can't wait to marry Lathe. I am also so grateful the Little Gardens does all the decorating and and setting up and taking down. It takes a lot off my shoulders!







That's it for now...more later!
