My GA Shower

I never wrote about my GA shower!! I it was great. I love my friends. It wasn't nearly as large as the LA shower, but it was lots of fun. My mom was there so that was great. She and Jeff came up for the weekend. We did lots of running around so I don't think it was very relaxing for them but it was nice all the same. I got some good gifts and we played some fun games. Mom felt the need to tell everyone some embarrassing stories which some people are still making fun of me about. The best part was just sitting around talking with everyone and hanging out.

Here is a pic of me and my mum


Me and my shower hosts


Me and all my food


And one of Shannon cause I think its a cute pic :)

My mom and Jeff are coming up this weekend. Bliss' parents had talked about it but they are waiting to see what happens with the storm. stupid hurricanes.

My friend Jamie came to stay with me tonight. It makes me happy when she stays here :) She's staying tonight for work reasons but sometimes when Bliss is gone, she stays more. She says for convenience for her, but I think she knows I don't like staying alone. She's a good friend like that. So that you'll know who I'm talking about, here's a few pic of me & Jamie at Ashley's shower. The first one was in the beginning and the second near the end. We had a good time, can you tell? ;)





Speaking of Bliss being away, he's leaving again. Oklahoma City for 2 days then to Salt Lake City for a week. I hope it doesn't keep up with this 2 weeks home, 2 weeks gone crap.

That's it for now. Have a good night!

Our LA Trip

We had such a good time in Louisiana!

I made it to the airport on time to pick Bliss up, but missed him when he walked pass me so we both stood around for awhile till I called him. I guess I wouldn't be a good stalker. Anyway, we got on the road and made it all the way to Mobile. Stayed in a shady hotel off I-10. I woke up nice and early the next morning but since Bliss was still asleep, I went to Winn-Dixie and walked around for awhile. When I got back, I realized I didn't have a key so I had to wake him up anyway. Oh well. We had to get on the road anyway.

We made it to Covington in time for lunch and got some po'boys with Vicki. God I love the french bread in LA. That night we went to a casino and lost some money. It was fun, just neither of us were having any luck.

Saturday we didn't do a whole lot. Just hung around till the shower. The shower was great. I got to meet lots of his family that I didn't know before and catch up with those I had met. The food was spectacular! So yummy. Bliss' uncle Rob did all the food and it was amazing. We also got lots of gifts. Everyone was so generous and we were so excited to get so much! Unfortunately, the storm was coming so lots of people weren't there and lots left early.


Sunday morning we got up bright and early to begin our trip home. First we were planning on coming home on Monday, then changed to Sun afternoon due to the storm, then Sun morning. Thank god we did. Since the interstates were going in one direction, we had to take some back roads to get to where we could get on the interstate to get home. The trip was only about 50 miles longer, but it took us 13 hours to get home. oh my god i was so ready to get out of the car when we got here!

Thats about it for our labor day weekend. Overall, a great weekend. Did you guys do anything fun?

I'm getting excited!!

Just running around this morning trying to get everything together so that I can leave right after work tomorrow. We are off to Louisiana for our couples shower! yay! I was able to switch hours with someone and was able to get some personal time approved so I am working 8:30-2:00! Bliss doesn't know it yet, but I'm going to be able to meet him when he gets off the plane instead of him having to sit around for 3 hours. Here is a pic of him I took just before we left the house last week. Even at 5 am, he's still a cutie :)

I had a great weekend this past weekend. Went to see Mandi and James and their new house, which by the way, is a kick ass house. We also went to a Falcons pre-season game then out for drinks and eats after. The next morning we went and got some breakfast that we super yummy.

Me and James the Saturday morning


Then Saturday night, I went and saw Jen's and Lisa's new houses. Super cute houses. They then saved me and helped me get all the invites almost done. Jen came over again on Monday night and helped finish them up so they went out in the mail Tuesday morning. Its a great feeling having them done and gone. Its getting so close!!

Off to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!!

Bliss is leaving me again :(

Not much has happened around here. Bliss' parents didn't come up the other weekend, which is fine because I didn't have to clean the house again :) Our friend Denorris is a truck driver and was coming though Macon the other day so he stopped and spent the night with us. It was great to see him. Then Darnell came up last night to hang out and pick up some stuff Bliss had. It was great to see him as well. We hung out for a bit after I got off work then the boys started watching stupid geek stuff on tv so I went in the other room and did some wedding stuff. I can't believe its almost time to send out the invites!! They should be going out next Monday. Lets hope I can get my shit together and get them out on time!

So Bliss is leaving again. Tomorrow morning he is headed off to Utah for 2 weeks. I hate it when he leaves. It just throws off my daily schedule. At least it will give me some time to work on the invites. The sucky part is that he will be coming home next Thursday then we are leaving that night for New Orleans for our couples shower that his aunt and uncle and good friends of the family are throwing. I can't wait!

Let me go spend some time with my boy. Hope everyone is doing well.

what a weekend

This weekend was the first weekend that I really got my two days off in a row since I was about to start class when my schedule change went in to effect. I had big plans and was very excited. All that was smashed when we woke up Friday morning to an 85 degree house.

Our AC had died.

Bliss had to go to work and since I don't know anything about AC's, I thought maybe it had froze over (I've heard people say this before but I'm not completely sure what it means) so I turned it off and left for the day. It was a beautiful day with the heat index at just over 100. Perfect day for no AC. I figured Bliss could fix it when he got home.

Now, mind you, Friday was also Bliss' birthday. I needed to go get the stuff to make his birthday dinner and cake, clean up the house because his mom is coming up next weekend and its nasty, and get some stuff done for the wedding. Instead, I went out to lunch with some friends. We went to a new bbq place here called Sticky Fingers. Very yummy. Then I called Ashley to see if I could make the cake at her house. Our oven was cheap so it heats up the whole house when you turn it on and my house was already hot enough. Anyway, Bliss got home and discovered he couldn't fix it and it would cost over $100 per hour to have someone come out and look at it. Needless to say, I did not make him his special birthday dinner. We went to Zaxby's, a little better than fast food chicken place. Andrew and Ashley had gone to their parents for the night so we went and stayed at their house. They are way too good to us.

Saturday was a little more fun. We got up and went car shopping. We traded in Bliss' Mazda and got me a new to me 2002 Ford Escape XLT. Very cute and fun to drive. Since its an SUV, I'm driving it back and forth to work since I have 8 mile commute and Bliss is going to be driver the Lancer. We dropped our payment by about $200 and got a good chunk of change back which we thought would be great since our house was now a sauna.

We stayed with Andrew and Ashley again Sat night. Lucky for us, Ashley's father has an AC business in Atlanta. Obviously he wasn't going to send anyone down to us, but he did have some guys working about 100 miles south of us so when they came though on Sunday, they stopped by and looked at the AC unit. We knew that they wouldn't be able to fix it, but they could tell us what was wrong so we wouldn't get screwed by whoever we got to fix it. They had FANTASTIC news! It was just a small part. Bliss called around and found a guy that had the part. Bliss drove over to the guys house, paid the guy 40 bucks for the thing, came home and fixed it!! I knew I was marrying him for some reason!! :) We are back at our house tonight with the AC blowing nice and hard.

What a weekend. Didn't even really feel like we had one. Now, my house is still a mess and still needs to be cleaned by this weekend. But at least I have AC! Want to come help clean? ;)

Hope everyone's weekend was less eventful then mine!

movin' on up

After two weeks in class, I passed my adjusters exam! I now know too much about insurance. Since the test is a state test, it wasn't just for auto but all different types of policies. Do any of you know about a boiler and machinery policy? Cause I do. Well, since I passed the test, I can now post for the next step up on the claims ladder. I'll keep you posted on how that goes.

Same ol' same ol' for Bliss. His birthday is this weekend. His parents might be coming up for it so that will be nice. We haven't seen them since Christmas 06 so its about time!

Wedding planning is coming along. So much more to do. I just need to get on it. I'm not too worried about it...yet :) I need to print out the invites soon so they can go out at the end of the month. I can't believe its that close. I can't wait :)

Hope everything is going well with you and yours!
