Ask a Question
NWR- Gastric Bypass Surgery- Has anyone done it?
I won't go in to specifics, but I am considering gastric bypass surgery. I know it is major. My step-dad had it back before they made sure the person was mentally ready for the lifestyle changes. He had a really hard time with it and he was miserable. But my godmother also had gastric bypass surgery and it was the best thing she ever did, and was mad at herself for not doing it sooner. So I've seen how it can negatively affect one person, and positively affect another.
My first seminar about weight loss surgery is tonight and I'm feeling a little bit excited to finally learn more about it and see if it is for me. I've tried dieting, tried excercising. I have a condition that sometimes makes it very painful and difficult to work out on a routine basis, and working out can actually increase the flare up in my condition so my doctor has asked me to discuss weight loss surgery with my internal medicine doc and see where to go from there because he feels weight loss will definitely help my condition. I was just curious if any brides have had gastric bypass surgery and how it went for you and what to expect. Thanks Ladies! |

Guestbook Picture Frame
Ha my mom knows me soooo well!
This last weekend FH and I went to my mom's for a BBQ and swimming. I started telling my mom that I was going to get a free book from shutterfly that could have our pictures on one side and empty lines on the right side instead of spending money on one of those guestbook picture frames I loved... and then she's like "you're ruining the surprise!!" lol whoops apparently she got me one for when I have a bridal shower... she says my dad always used to do that too.. ruin his surprises! Ahh well I'm super excited! I love my Mom!
Oh but I still will be making a shutterfly book with lines for more lengthy notes! |

Ring Bearer Pillow Take 2
Got the pillow and basket back with the new fabric!
So stoked... So for those of you who haven't read my blog before I ordered a custom ring bearer pillow and flower girl basket from Tegan at herecomeseternity.webs.com for $40. Unfortunately our monitor colors were off and the fabric she originally did was waaayyyyy off so she told me she wanted me to love it and to find the fabric i wanted. so i found fabric I liked- and sent it all back to her and I just got them back in the mail today and I absolutely LOVE them!
What you girls think? I don't know if I will have a flower girl since everyone I know has boys..lol... but I'm sure I will find someone! Attached is also pictures of me and my little brother, who will be my ring bearer! :0) |

Ask a Question
Can't decide what to do! I need your options!
Ok.. so for the last few years I've gone back and forth between having black or dark brown hair and blond. I have natural light brown/ dark blondish hair but I always had it blond, so that's what most people remember me having. But I've been rocking the black hair for months now and my man loves the dark hair... LOVES. LoL... but as I started looking at older pictures I can't make up how I want my hair. I went with rocking the black because it's so much cheaper than keeping up the blonde. I also have rocked the platinum blonde on top and almost black underneath... I need your votes ladies!!!
Blonde Black Light Brown/ Blonde Blonde/ dark underneath I'm doing a pin-up/ vintage feel so either black or blonde will go perfect... just can't decide!..lol If I need to go back to blonde... I need to start the transition now! lol |

Wedding Nightmare
Thankfully it was just a dream..
I've had weird dreams about the wedding before... but I knew I was dreaming then... last night's nightmare felt so real I woke up shaking and crying!
In the dream it was about a half hour before the ceremony... for some reason we were in a hotel getting ready and I looked in the mirror and my hair and make-up was horrible.. not at all what I wanted and I couldn't find my bra.... now for some people this wouldn't be a big deal.. but lordy I have a big chest... so in my dream I was freaking out. Then in comes my MOH into the room and she's wearing jeans and a t-shirt, her hair isn't done and either is her make-up... Just as I'm about to start crying she tells me that FH is no where to be found... I immediately run to his hotel room and his cell is sitting on the table and I have no way of finding him. I start running around the hotel asking everyone if they've seen him... I break down on the floor in the Lobby and that's when I woke up crying. I text FH about the nightmare this morning and he told me "Baby, you know that would never happen" I love this man so much... Why do we gotta have all these nightmares.. ugh! Needless to say, I've been in a funk all morning over the nightmare.. but just happy thats all it was, a nightmare! I know I've seen brides post about their nightmares.. what ones have you had? |

R.I.P. Marty
You will be missed...
If you've read my previous post, the last 2 weeks have been nothing but hell for me and the FH. Last week I had to rush him to the ER because of severe adverse reactions from a new medication, I've been super sick and still have a double ear infection and pink eye. I thought Tuesday couldn't have gotten worse because my cousin dropped out of being a bridesmaid. I was so wrong.
Apparently FH's little brother, Marty who is mentally handicapped had died. The worst part about all of this is that my FH was very very close to his little brother and he was going to be his Best Man... FH is crushed.... and so am I. I only met his brother once last year when they were visiting for a family reunion, but I'm glad I got to meet him before he passed. FH wants nothing more than to be in Cincinnati, Ohio for his brother's funeral on Saturday- he's been waiting 2 days for our work to tell him they won't give him a payday advance, yet they've given people payday advances so they wouldn't get evicted from their homes.... I am so flippin pissed at this place... straight up disgusted. Not only that, but they gave him some cut and paste out of the handbook type response and now plane tickets are $200 more than they were 2 days ago.. its fucking bullshit. People told him to contact airlines because they usually will give you a discount because it's a death situation.. but he contacted some and they wanted more than the online sites like orbitz had... how is that a discount you idiots? I'm sorry I just really needed to vent because I can't stand seeing my FH so tore up, he'll never forgive himself if he can't make it to his funeral.. and I really don't want him to feel that way. He needs to be there for closure. Also... I don't have money for flowers, let alone gas to get to work... but I really want to send something to his parents.... What should I do? This world is so unfair at the worst times. When it rains it fucking pours. |

Bridesmaids
Down 1 if not 2 BMs...
I'm home sick from work.. under docs orders... with the worst ear ache, cold sweats and all the other annoyances that come with being sick.. and my cousin who lives in Baltimore found out her and her hubby's offer on a house went through, I'm so excited for her. Then she brought up that they won't be able to come to the wedding since they had to borrow money from her hubby's parents to buy the house which means their tax return for next year is already gone. I'm so over this wedding shit.
If I can't have the people I want there then what's the point? Also, me and the FH have been so broke I have pretty much put the wedding on a hold for now. With only about 9 months left.. I can't help but wonder if this wedding is even going to happen. Maybe just going to the courthouse is a better idea... I'm sick of being stressed out over the wedding party and who and who can't commit to being in it.. not being able to make any wedding purchases.. I'm pretty much ready to give up on it. So now that my cousin is out as a BM, so is her daughter as my flower girl... which leaves me no flower girl. One of my other BMs still hasn't replied to any texts I've sent her over the last couple weeks. Like I said I'm just over it all. |

  green and damask cake stand wedding damask cupcake signs     |
Wedding Decoration
Inspiration pics and on my list of must haves!
First pic is a pretty common photo I've seen on tons of other brides blogs, but I truly love the green tablecloth with damask table runners. Our chairs will be covered with black covers and a green sash.. if I can find the right green.... any other green brides having this issue with finding the right shade of green?
Second pic is of a cake stand I loveeee, but can't find it available anywhere... if you know of something similar please let me know! :0) Third pic is just a pic I love.. nothing I am really going to have at my wedding, but it gets the wheels going! :0) Such an easy way to make pretty signs! I was originally going to buy stands, but these paper ones are wayyyy too cute! |
