YAY/Boo Car

Well I recieved a call from the auto shop saying my car was ready! I was super stoked considering it was was done 2 days early! Well when I saw it I was amazed because it looked like a new car. They had even detailed the inside of my car which means they removed all the dog hair which had to be a hard task.
I am driving home from work and my check engine light comes on. I immedatily freak out because at this point I am suppose to leave in a week. I drove to O'Rileys to check out a reader and learn that its a Code 1 error that means speed and performance sensor is messed up.
I took it the next day to a shop that the auto shop set me up with since they couldn't fix it and waited for 2 1/2 hours. They replace my spark plugs and tell me that the actual sensor will be in either Tuesday or Wednesday (note I am leaving on Thursday). They are going to try to overnight the part to get it here on Tuesday. I am keeping my fingers crossed!!

The Dress!

So we arrived at Davids Bridal right when they opened. My maidton of honor my sister Misty, my mom, another bridesmaid Kelsey, her mom and her friend Patrick. I wasn't expecting such a posse but at the end I was glad each one of them were there. Everyone was friendly and we started to pick out dresses. We came prepared with one of their books and picked out several that I wanted to try on. Actually I tried on a whopping 16 dress, there I really think it was just about every dress they had on. I guess I was the opposite of everyone else because the last one tried on was the one and it was completely different from what I thought I wanted. I tried it on, heared all the gasps from my posse and my consultant and looked in the mirror and I knew it was the one. It was one of those I have to have it moments. Its true I guess when you know you knowplus it being $300 off always helps. :)

So when we last left off my mom and I had woke up to a shooting the next day we learn that my sister had slept thru the entire thing!! I was horribly sore that day but we still had to go try on dresses for the first time. I wasn't completely excited because I just didn't feel that well. We went in and I started to feel better. I found a couple of ok dresses at the first shop but nothing was sticking out yet. All of the second shop dresses made me feel like I was trying on bad prom dresses. Needless to say we pretty much ran out of there. We only had one more day to find the dress ( I will give you a little clue we actually did).

Whirlwind

Lets rewind to last Friday I got into a car accident. Everyone was ok and I only had a few bumps and bruises. They said its going to take 10 days to get it fixed which would leave me with two days to before I move. Lets hope nothing get delayed.
Later that night there was a fight between my neighbor and someone else. I am not sure what exactly happened but I just knew there were two gun shots. I have never actual gun shots I was so scared and was expecting a window to break at any moment. I didn't see any blood when I went outside the next morning.
Luckily my mom and sister came in so we could go dress shopping. They kept me sane the entire weekend. My mom was actually laying next to me when the shots were fired. She stayed calm or at least seemed to be. Needless to say she can not wait for me to move out.

Tick tock

So I am sort of freaking out. I feel like I am running out of time. We need to get engagement pictures done so we can sent out Save The Dates. We can't send out Save The Dates until we reserve a place to make sure a date is solid. We can't reserve a place until I get out there, which wont be until the end of August/September. Ugh so plans are on hold....unless you talk to my family in which that's all they can talk about.

Stress Stress Stress

So this week has been rough, between wedding stress and trying to find a place to live everything seems never-ending. We might have a break thru in the housing situation and wedding stress is getting easier. We have sort of run into a snag with where are reception might be . We are going to have it in a park so my brother will cater (yay) but the one that seems perfect might be in a bad area. Bad areas is one of the problems we have been having trouble with finding a house. Hopefully this week will be bring us some luck!!!

He proposed

Thats right he sure did. It started off as I bad I almost missed my flight and my luggage almost didn't arrive. I wasn't feeling well when I arrived but after 3 cups of tea I was feeling slightly better. We went on a picnic with a cute little basket and matching plates and ate a sandwich from Panera. The whole time he kept saying don't forget about the cupcake, save room for the cupcake. So finally I am done with my sandwich and there is still some left and I say I want my cupcake. He says no because now he has to eat my sandwich and we need to eat out cupcakes together. I get mad and say I want my cupcake but he still make me wait. Finaly he gets out the cupcake and hands me one with a blue dot on it. I open it, and its not mine. He gives me the other one and I open it and there is a beautiful ring stuck in the frosting. He takes out the ring and and he starts to get down on one knee but I stop him and make him sit next to me. In what seems like forever (which he claims was only 3 seconds) bt he asks me to be his wifey. I make some gesture of yes which both of us can't remember what I said. Anyways we are engaged!!!!!!!
