Catch up time.

It has sure been a long time since i have updated this thing...so i will give you all a little catch up tonight.

First, i have officially started to freak out about the wedding being so close. I can't believe that i am going to be married to my best friend in a little over a month. I'm so scared, excited, nervous, anxious, emotional--all rolled into one big ball of HAPPINESS!! We have just a couple finishing touches to make on the wedding, then i guess it's just the waiting game. I'm so freaking happy though.

Second, got one of my wisdom teeth pulled today. OUCH!! It had been bothering me for awhile, and i thought today at my appointment he was just going to tell me the best plan of action for the tooth, but he ended up pulling. After A LOT of pain meds, pulling, and blood...the tooth was finally out. He appoligized at the end and told me that we maybe should have removed it different. It was a big mess up there in my mouth that he didn't know about until he was already in the process of removing it. So i'm drugged up and about to go to bed now.

Third, my Aunt Marcia just passed away from pancratic cancer tonight. It's so hard to deal with death, but at least she isn't in pain any longer (and she was in a lot). Seeing her this last week was so "weird". Josh and i saw her Saturday and she didn't look good at all, but Sunday when we went back up she was sitting up and bed and talking with all of us. Of course we all had that thought of....wow maybe she is going to beat this. Only to be proved wrong today when things just went downhill fast...i hope she is in a better place. Her son (my cousin) Michael is one of my best friends and i think watching him go through this has been harder. I know what it's like to lose a parent, and i just want him to know that i am here for him NO MATTER WHAT!!

Finally, the job at TJ Maxx is still going great...i really do enjoy it. I like most of the people i work with, and the things that i do throughout the day. It is really a fun job....for now (haha).

That's pretty much been my life these last couple of weeks...i will do better about updating. Goodnight all.

job

I have been at my job for a week now...and it's going pretty good!! My body isn't used to have to go to bed or get up at certain times, but hopefully it will adjust soon. Slowly i am learning how to do more and more at work, the first couple of days were pretty long. Of course i was just standing around watching people! Pretty excited to get my first paycheck this week....YAY!

Shower Fun

Who doesn't love a day when it's all about yourself and you get presents!! I know i sure love them!! I had my shower on Saturday and it was a blast!! Got to see some family that i hadn't seen in a while...so that was great!! Thanks for coming everyone that came!! Got some great gifts. If only wal-mart could figure out how to work their registry...we got a lot of doubles at this shower!! O wells though. I'm so thankful for everything that my sister Trina has done for us...she is pretty amazing!

The tables were decorated with our engagment pictures, silver stuff, and pink petals--super cute!! We had some delicious cup cakes...shaped like a diamond ring (B you are so crafty). It was just a pretty fabulous day!! I can't believe how quick everything is happening!! AHHHH!

Shower #2

I have my shower this Saturday that my sister's are throwing for me!! I am so beyond excited...family, family i haven't seen for a LONG time, friends, and presents---what more could a girl ask for?!?! I am super excited to see the cake, i think B has something very cool picked out! She is a pretty great sister...she kinda spoils me :-) I LOVE HER BUNCHES!!

Working Girl :-)

I start my new job tomorrow and for those of you that know me know that this is a pretty big deal! HAHA! I'm not much of a people person or a working person...i am pretty excited though. I will be a "cordinator" (supervisor) at TJ Maxx here in Grand Island. I think i will like it because i love to work in retail, and believe it or not customer service! I can be friendly when need be! So with this new job and doing everything that still needs done for the wedding....i think time is going to FLYYYYYYY by! So certain people out there i'm sure you'll be getting some crazy stressed out phone calls from me! :-)

Invites

Josh and I finally started to work on our invitations tonight! Figure they should go out in a couple weeks, and that won't happen if we haven't done them! I think it's going to be a long process, but we will both enjoying doing it. We have tried to make as much as we can for the wedding ourselves...more personal and way cheaper! So be looking in the mail in the next few weeks! YAY!

So pretty

We can make another check on our list of wedding to do's. Got our tuxes all picked out today...we think they're going to look pretty fancy!!! The only thing now is getting all the "guys" into to get fitted---think this is going to be more difficult than i would like it to, but what do i do!

I feel that "bridezilla" in me creeping out more and more everyday! I wish people would understand that this is only going to be ONE day out of everyone's busy schedules, and if it's to big of an burden.....you don't need to be a part of it! Get your priorites straight, Josh & I are only going to be married once! Whoa...now that i got that vent out of the way i feel a little better!

So long....

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT.....

That Josh & I will finally be starting our workout routine (well me for sure). This is what our New Years resolution is, we were supposed to start that Sunday, but it just didn't seem to fit into our schedule!! HAHA. I keep starring at my wedding dress in our closet and i have set my first fitting up for Feb. 1...i would like to be a lil more tone and skinny by then!! Not to skinny though because i don't want to give David's Bridal anymore money than i need to!! They suck there! Hopefully my arms will be more tone, so there is no disgusting "flab" hanging over the dress!! Wish me/us good luck!! If all goes well i will give weekly updates, but we will have to wait and see!

FlOwErS

We finally went and picked out our flowers for the wedding on Friday!! Anyone who knows me, knows that there is no love between me and a flower! Have never been really big on them...i can probably only tell you what a rose, daisy, and tulip are...IF that! I do think that they are going to be very cute though...Andy at Roses for You was VERRRRRY helpful! Good thing he knows Josh or i probably would have drove him crazy during our meeting!

I know i have said this many times, but i can't believe how fast time is flying by!! It seems like the wedding is right around the corner, and we still have a ton of stuff to do!! I'm sure the bridezilla in me will peak her head out sometime soon! :-)

Got Cake??

Josh and I spent a very long day out at the Events Center here in Grand Island for the Bridal Expo today, and got to have a lil fun too (well Josh did anyway). The grooms could fill out a card at the door and have it put into a box, the lady at the didn't tell us what it was for at the time. After walking around for a little bit a lady Josh knows comes up to him and ask him if he is ready for the cake eating contest!! You should have seen the look of horror!! Needless to say there wasn't been grooms out there so Yes his name did get called!! In one of the cakes a plastic ring was hidden and if you found it in your cake then the prize was a necklace from Riddles!! Joshy didn't have the cake with the ring, but he did get some nice "haul" rope!! He loves me 100% after forcing him to go with me today!!! HAHA he was not impressed, he said the cake was gross!! He sured looked pretty with it all over his face though! If you watched NTV tonight you could have caught a lil glimpse of him!

Sick

All of our running around lately has finally caught up with me!! I woke up yesterday morning at about 4 a.m. not feeling so great! After spending about four hours in the bathroom...i had to force myself to get ready for a job interview that i had at 10. It was pretty touch and go there for awhile! Slowly through out the day i lost my "pukey" feeling, and now all i have is my severe sore throat and cold...plus a scratchy voice! So i don't think they are going to be any crazy plans for New Years this year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVERYONE!

Bridal Shower

Finally had my first bridal shower...it was a blast! Aunt Sharron and Aunt Charlotte had it for me in Geneva for the Bumgarner side of the family. Got to met a lot of people who i probably never would have met if they hadn't come to the shower! Got a lot of GREAT gifts and had some yummy food! Josh was surprised at how much stuff i brought home...he even got some tools and light bulbs! The littles things make him so happy! Thank everyone for the great shower and great gifts!! I can't believe the wedding is almost here....AHHHH!

Christmas Gatherings

After a busy week and half things i have finally slowed down...so i figured i would do a little updating on the blog.

We had a total of six Christmas's this year...we were worn out at the end. We had our first Christmas with my brother and his family!! It was so nice to finally spend a holiday with them. Then we had Christmas Eve with my family at my sisters! Ate way to much junk food (thanks Uncle Mike). Josh got a tool box that he had been eyeing for a couple months...so he was pretty happy about that! Josh and I finally got to spend our FIRST Christmas morning together after four years!! We spoiled each other pretty good with "practial" gifts (we had to be able to use them everyday). Christmas day was packed full we had breakfast at Doug & Carolyns then went to Hastings and had lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Lees and then back to Doug & Carolyns again for gifts!! Jeesh i got tired again just reading what all we did. Then Sunday was the Bumgarner Christmas in Geneva!!

Hopefully next year things won't be so GO GO GO and we can enjoy then Holiday's!

Busy...Busy...Busy

It seems like we have been on the GO GO GO for the last week or so. With christmas programs, birthdays, new baby, and all our christmas's i (or should i say we) are beyond wore out!

I am VERY excited about tomorrow though...i have my first shower!! YAY! It's all sort of becoming surreal that the wedding is only a couple of months away. Along with all my excitment i have...comes the stress. Excitement is winning by landslide though :-) We have started to make a list of everything that still needs to be done...i guess we saved all the BIG stuff for last! I will be updating more tomorrow maybe to share all my fun i have at my shower!

McKaya Leigh.

8 lbs 7 ozs.

19' long.

I'm an Aunt again

My sister Sam finally had here baby on 12-23-08 at 2:34 a.m.!! We were beginning to think that she was never going to come and met us, but finally she is here! Her name is McKaya Leigh, and she was welcomed by two big sisters Savannah Marie, and Addalyn Mae. She was born on my Aunt Lynn's birthday who passed away a few years ago! She is so chubby and cute!! I would post pictures...just haven't figured out how!

I can't believe Christmas is already here...YAY!! I also CAN'T believe that i have my first wedding shower this weekend...AHHH!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

All fixed up!

After dealing with what has to be one of the biggest morons on earth (Dr. Hull a dentist here in GI) i finally got my tooth all fixed up! Hopefully this will hold up until after the wedding!!

The first dentist i went to this morning was a comple ASS...Dr. Hull WOULDN'T recommend him to my worst enemy! I finally get into my dentist, and he has me all fixed up in less than an hour! :-)

"BOO" to this day

Doing dishes this afternoon, i feel one of my front teeth on the bottom kind of move. So i yell downstairs for Josh to come up and look to see if it really did move or if i was just imaging things. Of course he is like "oh my gosh....what did you do" so i get a little nervous. I didn't want to go look, but i did and i don't see any difference. Silly boys always make things worse than they are. I figure maybe there is such something between my teeth and i will floss it out. I go get my floss, and start going going at my teeth. I get to the tooth that was irritating me, and i instantly know that something was not right!

I guess i should tell the story of this poor tooth. It started to get me trouble like 18 years ago i think...when i knocked it out after i had lost it the first time. So it's had a cap on it for awhile. For those of you that knew me during high school...it was only "half" a tooth! Well it's baaaack! I did the same thing to this tooth back in March. So i went to the denist and he did a "quick" fix...just useing the same thing they use for fillings and building the tooth until i came back in to get the cap put back on. Well i never went back...i thought for sure this would last until after the wedding! SURPRISE! So i will be going to the dentist at 8:45 tomorrow morning!!

So back to what actually happened! The cap has fallen off yet once again! I can't wait until this day is over!!! The cold does nothing for how sensitive the tooth is! BOOOOO!

Bored

With Josh not working right now (roofing is a little hard to do in the cold) we have gotten to spend A LOT of time together. We do pretty good, but the last couple of days the "boredom" has started to set in. So we have been finding (or trying to find) things to keep us busy!!

On Friday we went over to Carolyn's and made cookies...well Carolyn and I did, Josh played on the computer and bugged us! It was FUN! We also stayed over for supper. She was making beef & noodles, and Josh had been wanting that for awhile...it was so good!

I can't remember what we did Saturday...so it must not have been that much fun! :-)

Sunday we were pretty lazy most of the day, then went over to Giltner and had dinner with some of our friends! Mandy made homemade chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes!! So good! Then played a couple rounds of the new game "Life-Twists and Turns"!! It was a fun night!!

This week has been pretty relaxing! We got the rest of our christmas shopping done! YAY! Right now as i am doing this Josh is putting duct tape over the insulation in the windows in the basement!! It has been really cold down here (it's not a finished basement) so Josh did some investigating today and found a draft coming through the windows!! Hopefully it will start to warm up down here!

I just remembered what we did Saturday!! We babysat my neice Addalyn so Sam and Trevor could do christmas shopping before the new baby comes!! Which will be any day now!! I am so excited!

I am going to start doing a better job of updating this thing so i don't always have such long posts! Hopefully i will be able to tell all my fun stories of playing in the snow...if we EVER get enough to play in!

A little catch up

So i may have completely forgot that i started this blog. HAHA! Guess that is what i get for starting it at 1 A.M. It has been a pretty eventful couple days since i last blogged! Strange for Josh and I...we are usually pretty boring!

We spent last Friday in Lincoln! Josh went to the game, and I hung out with Jessica (joshy's sister) we did a little of this and that. You know the usual girl stuff....SHOPPING!! We had a birthday dinner for me later that night! It was so good...THANKS Jess! Got some fabulous gifts! It was a blast!

I would be totally OK to erase Saturday from my memory though! We went and had some drinks for my sister Trina's birthday (ok maybe more than a few). It was a fun night, until somewhere around 1:30 i spent the next 8 hours on the bathroom floor! Won't go into detail, i'm sure you can figure out why! Sunday...well Sunday was a rough day for me!

We did manage to fit in some Christmas decorating...got the tree up and it even has presents under it already! :-) Josh got to hang outside lights for the first time...he loved it! He wants to advertise in the paper to hang Christmas lights! I love him :-)

We did finally figure out how we are going to fill our pales for the center pieces (thanks to me). It has been a long battle trying to decide what to do, and of all the things we come up with it's...FOAM! The kind of foam that Josh sprays on ruff's!!! We were driving to my sister's and doing a little brainstorming when it hit me...UREKA!! I was very proud of myself, Josh was a little peeved that he didn't think of it! So one small step toward the top of our list of wedding details we need to finish up!

Spent the evening with Trina in Lincoln tonight, and got to see Jess and Kayin too! Didn't turn out to be to bad of a day considering i work up horribly sick at 5 A.M.!! That's all for now, wanted to do a little catch up! Next blogs won't be so long!
