oh HI !! did you know that on today , May 8th it's mothers day ? Did you also know it's 89 days till Gregg and I are married? I knew that !! Then again I am keeping count. I would just like to take this time to give my mommy a little shout out.
My mamma is the best one ever. She's always been here for me and I really appreciate that. I probably don't tell her enough though. She's been amazing to me my whole life.I honestly dont know what I would do without her. Especially now that i'm getting married. She's been such a great help. Making sure everything gets done. I love my mom. i'm going to quote a post secret. "I'm not afraid of becoming my mother. I'm afraid of not becoming half of who she is." It really hit home because I always thought I was terrified of having kids. That made me realize that i'm not afraid to become a mother, I'm just afraid that I won't be as good of a mother to my children as my mom is to me.
Love you mom.
I'd also like to give a little shout out to Gregg's mom. I really want to thank her for raising such a great guy. He's a wonderful person as well as all of her other children. She's a wonderful mother and I know her kids love her. Especially Gregg. It makes me happy to become his wife when I hear how highly he speaks of his mother. They always say you can tell how Good a guy will treat you by the way he treats his mom. Gregg has always spoken so kindly and he's a different (in a good way) person around his mother. He's softer. I love seeing that side of him and I love watching them interact. So I guess what i'm trying to say is thank you. Thanks for making Gregg the man he is today :)
Anyways. I'm off to flirt with my future hubby :) G'night to all !

It's pathetic really
I find it so sad that people I went to college with don't have enough interesting things going on in their life , that they seem to have this need to try and make my life a living Heck.
Seriously people "we" broke up over 2 years ago. Drop it. I'm finally happy and engaged to a man I love. You guys just can't let me have that though can you? Stooping so low as to email my fiancee and tell him that I tried to get PREGNANT with my ex ? seriously ? If you're going to send messages like that , at least make sure your information is correct.
I never tried to get pregnant from any of my boyfriends much less that one. Saying that I tried to keep him off his mission ? Uh no. I pushed him to go. When he was debating NOT going I told him to go , but that it was his decision. Yes I did want to break up with him while he was on his mission , but if you MUST butt in , it was because I got a blessing and prayed , and knew that it wasn't right. So I dumped him. MUTUALLY. He had been praying about it too and got the same answer.
Then sending hate mail because he didn't want me back AFTER his mission ? Uh I was with Gregg. I met up with him ONCE after his mission for 2 minutes. When I knew for SURE that breaking up with him was good for me. I didn't love him , still don't, never will. HE tried meeting up with ME several more times and I said no. I didn't want to lead him on. Ask any of my roommates.They were there.
It's very sad that you guys lead such pathetic lives that twisting my past life into a bunch of lies and trying to break me and my fiancee up is the only way you can entertain yourself. Get a hobby. A productive one. Not a destructive one. Good thing I have a VERY open relationship with Gregg and have told him everything about my past BEFORE you guys tried to screw things up. Try it sometime with your own special someone. If you have one with your crummy personality.

Learning.
So my friend Liz asked me what tips i'd give her if she got engaged. Gregg and I laughed and I said well , I've only been engaged for a month and a half , but I've learned a few things. So here is my current list of what i've learned.
1)If you insist on going to more than one location for pictures go to no more than 3 locations. I did 5 in 3 days and it was way too much. We got all the pictures we needed in the first 2 days and even then it was too many locations. I'd say narrow it down to 3 locations that you KNOW you'll get good pictures at. If you can get all those locations knocked out in one day more power to you. Plus by day 3 FH and you will BOTH be way tired and borderline moody. If you're me you might even cry.
2)Things are going to change and plans are going to fall through. Prepare yourself for this early on and you'll be good to have a happier, less stressful planning process. I promise.
3) Unless your parents really are as rich as you think they are,(9 times out of 10 they aren't ) be ready to not get every little thing you wanted since you were 3. I can also promise you that once you figure out they aren't as rich as you thought comes the moment where you realize maybe you didn't want everything you thought you wanted since you were 3 anyways. So your parents not being billionaires doesn't even matter really.
4) Photographers are OVERRATED. I promise. Surely you have a friend who is pretty good at taking pictures. Or a family member. If you don't I guarantee you have a friend who does know someone. Get them to take your pictures and use picnik or photoshop. You'll get just as good pictures for free. I learned this through necessity , but it's GREAT for a budget bride.
5) Just listen to your mom. She's done this before and knows what she's doing. Just trust her opinion. She knows how to make things look beautiful and knows how to do this and have it cost about half as much as your plan would. I promise it will make the world of difference. Plus if you let her worry about it , it leaves more time for you and FH to just enjoy being together. Or not. If you're me.

Bummer Cont.
So Gregg is gone :( His absence from my household is very tangible. It's like the house actually feels empty without him. I cried a little bit . Walking back to meet my mom from the airport I had to get a grip on myself by saying " Afton you're a big girl. Get a hold of yourself. 7 more weeks and you'll see him again. 3 weeks after you leave him... okay 4, you'll be married to him. These next 12 weeks and 2 days are going to DRAG ON.
The good news is we're almost done with our checklist of stuff we need to get done. Well almost. I still have to get him a ring ( with no money to speak of ) and a few other things. Like address invitations and send them out. That won't get done until the end of June though so we're okay. This month we're going to make the bouquets and boutonnieres done. So we're almost done , but not quite. It's coming together though and that's fun to see. Well I think I'm going to go now.
All in all I miss my love and can't wait to see him in a few weeks and get some more stuff done. ALSO I can't wait to marry him in 12 weeks. or 3 months. I like 12 weeks better though.
