Me and Cory at Mike and Lisa's Wedding

A little scare and I found "The Dress"

So my mom called on Saturday almost freaked out. I asked her what was up and she informed me that the church almost got booked on my wedding day! I told her that I had already reserved it but what I hadn't done and has been on my list for awhile was call Father. Someone called to book it and Father said there were no weddings in July...OOPS, that's the procrastinator in me. So my mother being the awesome woman she is called for me, hehe. So it's now offically at Wendelin at 2:00 on July 10, 2010.

On Black Friday me, mom, and Samee Jo set off on my wedding dress adventure! I can honestly say I only tried on 4 dresses! It was sooo surreal. 1st dress was pretty but it just didn't feel like the one. 2nd dress was one that I was in love with. I thought it was going to be "The One". 3rd dress didn't even zip up all the way and didn't like it! 4th dress I almost didn't try on due to liking the 2nd dress so much but while we were waiting for my appt I decided to try on the ivory dress and I thought well heck it's my size might as well it's kind of pretty. I had my heart set on white and a corset back. The moment of truth when I stepped out of the dressing room and saw my mom and Samee both in tears. I turned around and knew it I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world and the dress, omg the dress is BEAUTIFUL!!! To top it off it was actually a petite so it didn't need ANY alterations whatsoever!! So on Black Friday I walked out with a dress and a little bit in shock. I treated the girls to Lonestar and kept saying OMG I have a wedding dress in the car...I'M REALLY GETTING MARRIED, lol. But I knew the day couldn't have been perfect of course because later that night when I was looking for my debit card I realized I left it at Lonestar!!

Wedding Checklist!
So I think I have a lot completed and figured out for only being a little over a month into it. Colors...CHECK they are Lapis and Wisteria which are a dark purple and medium purple. Bmaids are selected just not told. I always hate asking but I guess I just need to. I am happy with my decision but I really wished I could have had like 30 bmaid so my friends could be in it too. Honeymoon is a half of a check we are going on a cruise and it will probably be to Alaska and we are looking for other fun couples to join us so if anyone wants to go...ALL ABOARD!! I picked out my invitations and actually they are cheaper then I thought. I got on a Cheap invitation site and lets hope they turn out, lol. I just don't see the need to spend a bunch of money on something people throw away. My wedding cake is picked out as well! My good friend Whitney does an amazing job on them and has agreed to do mine...LOVE YOU WHIT. So basically all I have left are the decorations for the tables and room, the guest list, and a few other things that will probably turn into a 1000 things!

Other exciting news...my sister found out Friday what she is having...we are staying with BLUE! 3 boys man I feel sorry for her, hehe. We were secretly wishing for a girl but hey another boy is wonderful too and I can't wait to meet him!

So if anyone has any advice for me on my wedding adventure, or tips please let me know. I'm pretty laid back with everything so far. I have Samee Jo to freak out for me, hehe

Goin to the Chapel and I'm Gonna Get Married!

So BIG news!! I got ENGAGED! I pretty much never thought this day would come and would never find the sweetest guy that would spoil me...I WAS WRONG!! I love the fact that he has to call me everyday to tell me I'm beautiful and he can't wait to be married to me. I also love the fact that the thing that makes him most happy is to make me happy! Ok so I'm bragging a little but hey I'm still on cloud 9! I have been in my fair share of weddings and kinda know the ropes but HOLY MOLY! When it comes to your own it is sooooo different. I think I have changed my wedding colors 4 or 5 times now and am having a really hard time narrowing down the bridesmaids...HELP! It also makes it hard that I am trying to plan it from 4 hours away, thank god I have a Bestie who has stepped up and helped me out A TON!!! Thanks Samee Jo! So I'm going to try and keep up with the details and probably get as many opinions as I can from here :)

I just can't believe I will hopefully be living in Clay County, haha never saw that one coming. I now just need to find a job back home and we can start our remodeling of our humble abode! So if anyone knows of any Hygiene jobs in the area PLEASE let me know I would love to live with my husband when we get married, lol.

The big day has at least been set...July 10, 2010, I told Cory he was getting off easy because it was only 2 days before my birthday. That just means bigger presents ;) We are going to get married at my church in Wendelin and the reception will be at the Holiday in Olney. I am just so excited still I can't stop rambling. Will I ever come down from this high!

This one is for you Sheila!

So it's been a long time since I've updated anything. So much has changed! First of all I'm still loving my new car but remembering to lock it is a bit tricky in the city. Someone got into my car and stole a few items. I was mad but like my daddy says it was a cheap lesson!!! I am also going to be an aunt again!!!! My sister is going to have another baby, #3, it is due April 12th, yeah they didn't waste any time thats for sure. My other nephew just started 1st grade and it makes me so sad that he is getting so old. Dominik is a little over 8 months now and is just a happy baby. Life in KoMo is going ok. I was going home so much and really didn't get to enjoy living on my own but lately I have stayed here which is great. I a going to my first tailgating experience tomorrow as well as first football game...GO MIZZOU. I am offically a Missourian, I bought the chair and sweatshirt to match. After the game later that night we are going to check out some sexy men at the Chip-n-dales. WAHOOO.

Me and Mason!! I love this boy!

My adorable nephew Dominik in his little Lobster in my parents pool. He loves the water!!! Can anyone guess he's got Geier in him, hehe

This month is so busy for me. I am going to go to Chicago next weekend for a bachlorette party for a wedding I'm in...CAN'T WAIT!! The weekend after that I am going to go to a Cards game with the boyfriend...yeah that wasn't a typo I said boyfriend. So that's something else that's new. I am finally not single, LOL. He is a wonderful guy that seriously treats me like a queen and will do anything for me. He thinks I'm perfect, I think he's blind :) I also have my 10 class reunion coming up towards the end of October. I can't believe I've been out of school for 10 YEARS!!

Me and Cory on the Labor Day ride

As far as my weight loss journey I have lost a total so far of 34lbs! Some days I think its a lot and others not so much. I still have a long way to go but I feel better about myself anyway so who cares right!!!! On another important scale my brother finally got his license back after 3 years!! congrats bubby lets keep them this time. Well Sheila I hope this gets you up to speed, I will try to do better!

On the road AGAIN!!!!

The boys...So cute

Can you tell Dominik is 10 days older than Drake, lol. Yeah right Drake is a big boy. They are both just sooo darn cute.

Hello everyone! So I just got back from yet another trip back home to Illinois. I have been home the last 3 weekends and am going to be home the next couple weekends as well. While I do love to come home the drive, SUCKS. I had another busy weekend home, Thursday I stopped at Vic's for a "few", Yeah not so much. Then friday it was my nephews last t-ball game and then family supper at Monical's (yummy). I also went riding on Saturday and OH-BOY let me tell you it was a BLAST. I don't have the pics for em yet because I'm not completely sure where I left the disposable camera...LOL Imagine that one. Anyway I woke up today in soooo much pain! We had a few mishaps in the Ranger with a few ditches and I am definately paying for it today. I swear my rib is cracked or bruised and my head hurts from hitting the windshield. I know it was an accident but, DANG I paid for it today. Today I got a visit from Samee and Drake. Drake and Dominik got to meet and play today. Let's just say they may be in some trouble if they hang out later in life, lol. Not much else is new in my world other than my parents have decided to get a swimming pool. Nice of them to do that after I moved out. It should be up and going my bday weekend. Too bad I'll be in Current, oh well I will be swimming in it every time I come home. I sense a pool party coming up.

MOVIN' ON UP

I had a wonderful and eventful weekend on my trip back home, family time and getting a new carI ended up changing my mind on the car I wanted. Imagine that me indecisive, but after I looked at the Sentra in person and saw that is was super small in the back. I then looked at the Altima's and FELL IN LOVE!! I was now on a mission to get an Altima. So I got to look at like 5 Altima's but this was the one I wanted. It's a 2008, white, Nissan Altima. It has 15,000 miles on it and my favorite part is that its a push button start not a key. I feel like I'm movin on up in the world. I guess I have worked really hard for it so I deserve it I guess. I also never thought that I would get a white car again but I also fell in love with one. It's actually a funny story about me and dad's wonderful test drive experience. Needless to say we got some quiet time on the side of the road with NO GAS IN THE CAR!! yeah nice huh, if I wouldn't have loved the car I would have gone elsewhere. But my dad kept it entertaining foresure.

My cousin came up from Georgia and I got to spend the weekend with her and my other cousing Jamie. We had the annual "Sisters" sleepover and I had a blast, I love my mom and aunts. I never stopped laughing and the Ghost was active. I was a little freaked out but I had fun.

Saturday I got to have lunch with Mrs. Slaughter and her husband and daughter. It was some good Buffalo Wild Wings. Then later we went to a little party and played WAY too much flippy cup. Let's ust say Sunday's drive home was ROUGH.

Sunday I got really aggravated and had to laugh and think that's my luck. I was driving on interstate 70 and I think the only rock on that damn road came flying up at my car and gave me a little crack in my windshield...REALLY. I wanted to cry but I guess it could have been worse.
It just seems my luck still sucks. But I have to say I don't think it's sunk in that I got a new car...Finally and I am def going to be a better more cautious driver.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

So it's not offical because I haven't gotten the DAD approval but you soon may see this in the Geier driveway instead of the old grad am. But then again who am I kidding, I don't know if I could give up the ole girl may just have to keep her too. Anyway, a new car has been on the NEED list for awhile and my mom thinks I may one day soon get stranded on one of my visits home. So the next time I come home me and Dad are going to go look at it. Mom already did and she liked it sooooo keep your fingers crossed that I get it and I can keep it in one piece if I do, lol. But then again who am I kidding!

I'm really excited for my next trip home, it's going to be a special one! My cousin Britney is FINALLY coming up. I haven't seen her since my gma's funeral almost two years ago. I'm sure we will laugh, cry, and get a little tipsy so I soooo can't wait for my family packed weekend. Not to mention time with the Ashley on that sunday stamping and addressing those invites.
