    It's warm inside my traffic cone.

    It's really freezing in here. I'm wearing my UT Tyler hoodie but my hands still stick out and make my insides cold. This bright orange sweatshirt reminds me of when Corey and I met - I think I was wearing it when I said something to him about his laptop wallpaper.

    "Halo 3! Sweet."
    "You like Halo?"
    "I play sometimes."

    It hardly went further than that, really, for a month. A lunch at the dining hall to tell him I wasn't interested, the day Heath Ledger died.

    And then when Dave broke up with me, with his pitiful apologies and I was looking for some comfort wherever I could find it, and we went to half a movie, and I was wearing this traffic cone hoodie. Thats where it really began.

    Then, on spring break when it snowed, it sat dejected in my backpack while I changed a flat tire on Plano Road and had my wisdom teeth out the next day. He came to visit me. I didnt see how much he cared and the fact that he would drive across the ocean and the sun for me, covering East Texas with his Oldsmobile was nothing to him, if it meant seeing me. 

    The day we moved to where we now call home, it was hot in Tyler, the first of many hot summer days there. I wore my hoodie in my car because my A/C worked too well.

    And then, when we really fell in love and he took me to meet his parents and sleep overnight at their house in the middle of Nowhere, Oklahoma, and I wore this hoodie all night while we drank vodka and juice, and I cried about kittens and how much I loved him. We have pictured of our hungover selves and me in the dusty sweatshirt from the morning after hanging up on our walls. 

    This hoodie has been with us through almost 2 years of ups and downs, mostly ups. I love it. It's stained and ripped and bright but I love it.

  • Disgruntled.

    For God's Sake.

    It's a wedding, people.

    Get your shit in order.

    Send back RSVPs, figure out if you need an outfit if you're in the wedding 
    party, CALL ME BACK, 
    and communicate with me,
    and Christ on a tricycle, let me know if you're coming.
    You know, I almost feel, and this is me being completely frank, 
    that people do not take corey and me as seriously because we are young, 
    and this was a "small backyard wedding." 
    Nevertheless, it is a wedding, thank you, and I'd appreciate the 
    communication and effort.
    What is sad, is that it is my friends I am having the problems with, not my vendors.

  • Wedding bells are ringing in my ears.

    The wedding is September 6th and I have a little over a month to go. I have my dress, and my ring and the invites, and I have ordered the shoes and the fans, and ohhh here we go!
    I have 3 maids, 2 with dresses and no accessories. I need to address invites and send them, Put the decorations toether and decide on the food. Dear lord, I need speakers and music, and someone to tell everyone what to do?! Who will introduce us? Can we ask the officiant? Oh, yes. I also reserved him. :) He's a Plano Justice. 
    What do I do with my hair? Extensions or leave it curly? Where do I buy my jewelry? Are we staying the night at that hotel? Which hotel? Are we camping for the honeymoon? Would it really save money? Is he wearing a tux? Why cant we get ahold of the best man? Why doesnt the maid of honor answer her phone? Will she read this entry and call me? Has she even bought tickets yet? Are we baking this cake? Why wont my boobs grow a cup size in one month? What bra will make them perform this particular feat? Should I really dye my hair a month before the wedding? Why not? BUT MY ROOTS LOOK LIKE CRAP!? 
    AHHHHHHHHH

    Wedding Parties

    Traditionally, the wedding party consists of one Maid of Honor, several Bridesmaids, a Best Man, and Groomsmen. In addition, you have a Ring Bearer and a Flower Girl. Mother of the Bride stands there and the Father of the Bride walks her down the aisle.

    This, however is not what I want. And...I'm the bride, right?

    I am not the type of girl to have ONE best friend for a maid of honor and a few "second best" friends to make my bridesmaids!

    So I'm breaking tradition, as of right now. I want my mother - yes, my mother - as my Maid of Honor. Why? Because she is the single most influential woman in my life. She's given me so much, and I love her to pieces and I need her by my side like this. So, there she will be. I've already asked her, and she's said yes.

    I also want Nikki as a Maid of Honor, because she has been there with me through everything in my adolescent years, every boyfriend and every heartbreak to get me to where I am now - marrying this man. So there that is, it's settled.

    And there leaves my sister. My beautiful sister. She's cute and quirky and honest to a fault. And she wants so badly to be a part of this, and she'll be 14 on the day of my wedding, so she will be my Junior Maid of Honor.

    There it is, my women. How could I ask one and not all three? I couldn't! It would feel incomplete without each one of these three there with me. Settled. :)

    --------------------------------

    And now, if we could only settle the Best Men.

About Me

  • I'm 20 years old and I'm just starting to plan my wedding. I love music and photography. I'm very outgoing and friendly. I am always looking to meet new people and make them my new best friend. I love connecting with people. I think that's why Corey and I make a great partnership. Our traits fit together and turn into strengths. Corey and I met while attending UT Tyler. We started off as friends and it grew into so much more. We were there for each other during a turning point in both of our lives, and I know he has changed my life for the better. Now, we're best friends, business partners, and fall more in love every day. We've had our hard times, and living together has taught us a lot, but through and through he's been there as my rock. I truly believe we will be together our whole lives, becuase of our willingness and our ability to grow and change as individuals as well as a couple, and our determination and love for not only each other but for life itself.
