wedding showers and cars

things have been busy! (i swear i start every blog that way but its SO true ha)

Yesterday was my very first Wedding Shower! my awesome SIL Becca threw it for me and it was more than I ever imagined. everything looked awesome, and i felt so special. ive said it a million times but i feel so blessed to have family and friends who want to do these things for me even though im already married, its cool i didnt have to miss out on all the fun stuff :)
heres a few pictures:


(*Tanya is still here from germany so she got to come! me her britt and chase all went to lunch before the shower*)

I dont have many pictures, everyone else has em on their cameras so hopefully ill have more soon! but it was SO much fun. the games were so awesome haha id never heard of some of them, and they were so much fun! even the embarrassing ones ;)
We got tons of stuff we NEEDED, joey and i both were so excited going through all of it last night. i guess now i gotta actually cook huh? ;)
my mom and MOH are throwing me another shower--HOW LUCKY am i!? now that i know how that whole thing goes im stoked about the next one! :)
Thursday i have an appt with bridesmaids to go look at dresses for them, and i gotta lose about 5 Ibs before february so wedding planning is rolling along!

today was busy at work....and then!? i went and got my NEW CAR! well new to me ha, its used ;) a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport!


i am so excited, and absolutley love it! i also have a buyer for my car...itll be sad to see the stang go! ive had it since i was 15! bitter sweet. i LOVE my explorer though! we went and got a new steering wheel cover and windshield wipers tonight and im good to go! oh and of course i got a rose scented air freshener ;) tomorrow im going back to the dealership so they can detail it for me! it was SUCH a great find. awesome price, low mileage,and in great condition!!

so much fun stuff happening right now :) life is good--GOD is good! <3

sick = no fun!

Well its been a minute, my apologies for not keeping up with the blog--i used to be so good about it!

not much new going on with hubs and i. he's now working for my company as a salesman and is actually enjoying it :) so he's working and going to school which is keeping him pretty busy! im still working,and enjoying it as always-- ive been sick this week though. i completley lost my voice over the weekend, left early from work monday, didnt come in at all tuesday, and now im back! i feel better but still not 100%--hubs did a great job taking care of me though :)

he leaves for drill this weekend, he'll be gone from Friday morning to Sunday night, definitley stinks! I dont have many plans this weekend but Ill have to find something to do to keep busy, Sunday is my first wedding shower! i am SO excited!! and so grateful that my friends and family still want todo that for me even though we're already married, im glad i didnt miss out on all the fun stuff! definitley looking forward to that!

Speaking of Joey--its Veterans Day! Happy Veterans Day everyone! I am so proud of my husband, in so many ways. 2x Iraqi War Veteran, 4 years active, 2 Reserve currently--he is an amazing guy :) I hope everyone takes the time today to remember what Veterans Day is for--and to thank all the vets :)

Joey and I are both working on selling our cars, he has a buyer for his but I havent really had any bites on mine...big bummer :( we both just need bigger cars. ive been wanting to get an SUV for a while. absolutley nothing wrong with my car--its in incredible condition, and i feel like the price (6500) is a steal of a deal! but maybe no one has the money for that right now. we shall see i suppose!

tonight hubs and i are going out for dinner to celebrate Veterans Day :) than I have RCIA!

This blogs kinda boring, really not a whole lot going on with us right now!
