Well, Aunt Flo finally decided to show up, after being 5 days late. Although it is for the best, with everything going on, and planning for a wedding, I am still just a tad bummed. Oh well, it just gives me something to look forward to after I become the Mrs.
Moving on..........

Ch Ch Ch Changes
January promised to be a wonderful month. After J spoke with my Dad, things were so good. Well, shortly after we hit a couple of financial roadblocks. His car is out of commission, and it will be a little costly to get it fixed. On top of that, a couple days later, he was laid-off. AHHHH! I just want to scream! This put a little jam in the wedding plans. At this point I am not sure what the next step is. He is looking for a new job, but the job market is so crappy right now. I am just trying to be patient and keep the faith. Maybe its the stress that is adding to me irrational thinking, but part of me wants to just chuck it all and just go to the court house.
On top of that. I am late. Yes, late. According the calendar, about 4 days. I know that may not be a big deal, and under the circumstances, being late is easily possible; but for the past couple of hours, I have been totally obsessed about it. I have been analyzing everything! I don't think i am going to get a test just yet. All the symptoms i have been feeling are so similar to Aunt Flo. The more i think, "what if i am?" the more i think i will be disappointed if I'm not. Me and J have talked about kids, and we both want more after we get married. I know the timing could be a little off yet, I can't help but get a little excited at the possibilities.
Well, I guess I will just wait a few more days and see if Aunt Flo rears her face.

I had an amazing weekend. I had it all planned out. While Jay was going to be asking for my dad's blessing, I would be attending the bridal expo with my friend "ishie." Well things didn't quite go according to plan.
I woke up Saturday excited about what the day would bring. Jay on the other hand, woke up lets just say... grumpy. He was so nervous about talking with my Dad that he barely said 2 words to me. The Bridal Expo started at noon, and so was the "The big convo" with my dad. Its about an hour drive from where we are to where we need to be. Thank to the crummy freezing rain, we had a late start. By the time we were at our destination, it was just about noon. So I ended up being present for "The Talk" (Which I tried everything in my power not to be).
There we were, the four of us, my mom, dad, Jay and I. My dad can be very intimidating. Jay pushed forward and started the dialogue. Jay said the most amazing things about me. How much he loved me and my daughter, being a family, etc. Although Jay was tripping over his words, and stuttering; I am so glad I was able to be apart of the conversation. My dad then questioned us on our definition of marriage. He then discussed how its hard work, and the importance of a spiritual bond. We assured him that God would come first in our marriage. Keeping God first is the only way for a marriage to be successful. Then finally, my dad welcomed Jay to the family. I AM SOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!
As if things could get any better, My mom accompanied me to the Bridal expo. I had so much fun. "Ishie", met us up there. There were so many vendors there. I tried a variety of cakes. Red Velvet is the winner!!. I got tons of ideas and entered my name is several drawings. Then there was a fashion show. I saw some gowns i really liked, and bridesmaid dresses. At the end of the fashion show, there is a grand prize drawing. AND I WON!!!!!!! I couldn't believe they called my name. As soon as I heard my name, I yelled "Shut up". I never win anything. On the day of my wedding, I will receive $500! That will be right on time, because i am sure we will be broke! hahaha
I finally feel like it is official now. Now here goes the planning! :-)

The Talk
One of my girlfriends invited me to a Bridal Expo in my home town tomorrow. I am super excited. This will be my first "Bridal/Wedding" thing of 2009. This will also be our "countdown to the wedding thing" for January. I can't believe that in 12 months from now, I will be married.
While me and my friend, will be checking out wedding venders, watching a bridal gown fashion show, and hopefully winning some door prizes, my S/O "J" will be going over to my parents house to have "the talk", with my Dad. He will be asking for my dad's blessing to marry his daughter. I must admit I am a little nervous for him. I know he will be beyond nervous tomorrow. Luckily for him, he will have my Mom there as an ally. LOL OOOOOH to be a fly on the wall.
I can't wait until tomorrow! :-P
