Surprisingly not panicked...

Everythings coming together nicely. My dress should be here anyday now. We signed the apartment lease to start on the 23'rd of this month. Billy will be moving into the apartment then and I'll move in with his mom and dad till the wedding. Last bridal shower is this Sunday afternoon. I'm very blessed with lots of friends that love me enough to do it for me . :) The cake is all picked out and paid for. The food should be decided on soon. My job at Hobby Lobby switched about a month ago to a full time position as department head of fabrics....sounds important but I'm the only one in fabrics. :P Basically I just get full time hours and do all the ordering and restocking for that department. I'm so happy though...I love my job! :) I'm also sick; I have been since Monday...yucky. My poor nose is raw and red. :) Anyway, thats a brief update of my life. All I can say is I cannot wait to be Billy's wife! :D

44 days....

    Shelley, your wedding was so nice, and you looked beautiful! I missed you more after seeing you at your wedding! There were lots of things I liked, but one thing I really liked was the song you had at the end of the ceremony--it was perfect for that time. :)

One wedding down...one to go... :)

Sherri's wedding was beautiful and wonderful. My "big" sister's off and married now...sigh, my turn next. :)
I won't get my dress until November...growl.
Sometimes I really wish we could have been married this summer. Well, at least I have plenty of time to get used to the idea of being married. :) I've already practiced signing my soon to be new name...it's HARD! :P But I like the way it looks. :D

    I don't know if you check this more than Facebook or not, but just in case, I thought I'd let you know to look for a message on FB from me.

YAY! My wedding dress is ordered!!! :D

Thank you honey!


Still changing my mind about EVERYTHING...poor Billy.

This has to be the busiest year of my life :)

I'm moving to Peoria on Saturday. Yay! One of the ladies in the congregation there is letting me live with her until Billy and I are married in December. :) Few things left to pack. Still have to go to the post office and change my mailing address and the bank and close my accounts. One more day of work here.
I'll be going in to Hobby Lobby there on Monday to get my hours all set.
Sherri's bridal shower is in July.
Sherri and Jarret are getting married in August. So much planning!
The college still hasn't sent me my diploma...kind of important to have. :)
I'm testing out hair styles for the wedding...I think I could probably do my hair myself. lol I'll propably change my mind 500 times before the wedding though.
Poor Billy, he's so patient with me. :) I think I've changed my mind multiple times on just about everything that we thought we had settled. :P And, I have a feeling it isn't going to get much better...sorry honey.

    I talked to Ms.Nita this morning and she is excited to have you. Next Friday (June 26th) is the next Marriage Enrichment class. If your not working you could come. It's going to be at our house at 6:30. We live a couple minutes from the building.

    My laptop is blue, although depending on how you look at it, sometimes the background looks black, but you can always see little blue spots on it.

  • seashelll
    I have the hardest time making decisions, too, and not going back and forth about it even after I had decided. And I could see that being really easy to do planning for your wedding!

  • seashelll
    How are you doing, Shelley? I took a trip to Minnesota last weekend with Mom and Dad. Last night I watched some fireworks and this morning went to the fourth of July parade. It was bigger and more entertaining than the Memorial Day parade we saw together. I know that one wasn't that great.

  • lightbringer
    He loves you enough to put up with you...that's a good sign:) (LOL) I heard you got to hang with Paul and Alice while the rest of the family was there (SO jealous). I should be able to come out there before I leave for school (which is in about a month, btw), so I'll see you then, Lord willing. Just take big breaths:)

I'm done with college!! For good. :)

Now, on to the wedding planning... :D

    Did Billy tell you I saw him a few days ago at a gospel meeting? Can't wait to see you and the family in a few days.

    We just found out today that your moving here. YA!!! I'm so glad you can stay with Ms.Nita. I'm sure she will enjoy your company and there are many people that live in that area. I asked Jada about having a couple showers for you and she thought you would like that. Fun!

    By the way, this is Rachel. We went out to eat with Mosburg's and Liggin's tonight. Rick & Candy live over by Ms.Nita, Phil & Kay Brackeen and Jim & Sharon Sutton also.
