!!!!

Haven't posted in forever but there is a really awesome give away going on and I would love love love love love to win!! A fellow Navy wife over at A Day in the Life of a Navy Wife is giving away the cutest necklace! I think I'm in love! =D

Day 04

I've never been much of a reader, but my summer job last year kind of forced me to read. I read these two, and I cried my eyes our during both. Amazing. Jodi Picoult is an amazing writer. I recommend these to anyone

Day 03

Oh this is an easy one! Since the first episode, it's been Army wives. When it was still running though, I was obsessed with The OC, sad they ended that one. I watch the hills, only this season, for the lol's haha. But other than that, I don't really watch tv. Okay thats I lie, I thought of more. I am a HUGE American Idol fan. I've been to like 5 concerts so far, going to this seasons next month =] I really enjoy watching extreme makeover home edition too. My parents, sister and I all sit down and watch it together and usually, all, dad included, cry.

So I guess that wasn't as easy as I thought. I honestly can't tell you my favorite, but those are the top ones, and honestly, the only shows I watch. OH JK! I just recently got into True Blood too. Ok, seriously, thats it though =D

Wedding stuff =]

So I'm pretty obsessed with planning my wedding. It's so much fun, yes stressful at times, but I love it! Below are just a few pictures of stuff that I've collected from my planning so far. I got a garter made for me by a lady that makes free garters for Military brides. All you have to do is email her at marlena_the_garterlady@yahoo.com. Just tell her your name, adress, weddings colors, color of dress, and aproximate date of your wedding. My garter came in today, so I know she's definitely legit. It came out so awesome, I love it! You get two garters, one to throw and one to keep, and a really cute bag to keep them in. I'm not sure if I'm going to end up wearing that one on my wedding, who knows. I have a year to think about it. I think the smaller, toss one, would make the cutest head band for a baby girl. Maybe I'll use it for that eventually =]

I absolutely love this idea for my centerpieces. My colors are pink and orange, so I think the goldfish would be perfect, with pink gerber daisies on top =]

 

The bottom two flowers are the two I want for my bouquet. I want the bridesmaids to be white maybe.

I found this stuff in a magazine my mom gave me, then looked at their website. The colors are perfect! I would love all the stuff here.

Day 02

My favorite movie. Thats a tough one. I love movies and I'm not sure If I have a favorite. So here's a few that I love.

• A walk to remember
  
• White chicks
• Twilight series
• Saw series
• Love and basketball

Great Mothers Day!

So today I tried on my first wedding gowns. My mother, sister and I went to David's Bridal and I completely fell in love with a dress and couldn't not buy it! So I bought my gown, veil, bra and slip today. Everything looks so perfect! And even better...all of it under $700. I still need to get shoes and a headband, but I have a year until the wedding so I have plenty of time. I am so so so excited! I have decide to go with pink and orange as the colors, manly pink with just a hint of orange. I will post a few pictures of the dresses I tried on as well as the bridesmaid dresses and the flower girl dress. 

front and back 

The orange is my maid of honors dress, my sister, and the pink is the four other bridesmaids

Not telling which one I got though =D My fiancée wants it to be a surprise for everyone. But I cried as soon as I put the winner on. I knew it was my dress! 

I was thinking my bouquet of flowers to be pink in orange to match the colors, some green in there too. I want my bridesmaids to have white flowers, but my sister who is wearing the orange dress will have a pink ribbon and the girls wearing pink will have an orange ribbon on their flowers. Ah I am just SO excited right now. I can't stop smiling. I want to just go back to the store and put my dress back on and never ever take it off! I ordered a new one, even though it fits perfectly, don't need any alterations, I just wanted a new dress that hasn't been worn, so I should be getting it next month I think. Ohhh and they make Navy garters! I am totally ordering one!! I couldn't find a picture of just the Navy one, but here is the group of military garters.

I figure my garter will be my "something blue" =D

Can't wait to get married! But today made the price of this wedding become oh so real. It's going to be a lot, but I'm sure everything will work out =]

Just because..

I'm heading to work for the night, but I thought I would share some random photo's that I love. Dustin and I went ice skating a few months back and I snapped a crappy cell phone picture, but I love it =]

My new dog tags came in the other day! I had the original tags in my purse and it got stolen. Grrr I'll never get over that. This happened a few months ago and I get so mad when I think about it!

Most of my pictures, besides my engagement photos are taken from my crappy phone. This is because my sister like to steal things from me and not give them back. She refuses to give me back MY  camera because then she won't have one because she broke hers! I don't know where it is, but if I find it I'm taking it back and never letting her see it ever again! Oh yeah, and she's older than me and whines and cries when I try to get it back...Boo hoo!

yeahh

Oh hey blog

Haven't posted in a while, sorry. I thought this was going to be a good way for me to get through this deployment, but Dustin and I get to talk a good amount through out the day. I think its because I have no desire to write because all day, all I do is write to Dustin. I love how much I get to talk to him! It's pretty much emails, sometimes facebook IM and even a few phone calls here and there! Its been a little over a week and he should be hitting his first port soon meaning.....WE CAN SKYPE! ahhh I can't wait I can't wait!! I miss his face!

Damn that took a while. Alright thats all for now folks. I'm going to go grab a midnight (or 1am) snack. Maybe theres some chinese from last night left! I'll try to write more then I have been, its just been a rough week. But I'll be back soon, promise.

Not good at coming up with titles..

I can't even begin to explain how scared I am right now for the next few days to go by. Dustin is getting deployed for six months. This is our first deployment. He told me that it takes his ship at least two weeks to get to the first place they are going to. This means I won't hear his voice for that amount of time. That breaks my heart. I don't know what I am going to do. Every day I long for the few phone calls that I get from him. They are what keep me alive. I know things will be okay, because we have no other choice. I know whenever he's underway we survive through emails, but the thing is, his longest underway so far has only been three days. THREE DAYS! NOW ITS SIX MONTHS! Going from three days to six months is going to be so hard and I honestly don't know how I am going to get through this. I know I have plenty of people to talk to to get me through this, and I couldn't thank them enough for all of there support. But you all know that its not the same. It helps, but the only thing that could make it better is him. I try to stay strong for him because when I'm sad, he's sad. Same goes for when he is sad, I'm sad. He has my heart and I have his at all times.

I keep telling myself I'm going to start doing things while he's gone because I can't sit around the house all day and be sad. But the thing is, I have no desire to do anything but that. My heart hurts when I can't be with him or talk to him. He's my soulmate.

But I HAVE to. I can't waste my life away and be depressed all the time. As much as I would just love to curl up in a ball and sleep until he comes home, I just can't. Sooooo

1. I'll start going to the gym again. I have to get back into shape. Gotta look good when my baby comes back in October, and for my wedding in May!
2. Maybe I'll start reading even though I've never been a fan of that before. Never liked writing either, so apparently things can change. I just know that there are a lot of good military books out there that I would like to check out.
3. I have a lot to do with school. I'm transferring schools, changing my major and going to try to cram an associates degree into a year and a half. We'll see how that goes.
4. Wedding planning! Of course! That's obviously going to keep me occupied, but I just wish Dustin was here to help me.
5. Oh I almost forgot! I'm so excited! My parents and I are going to Ohio this summer so they can meet the future in laws! I can't wait to see them all again. I miss them!

I guess thats it for today. I should go to the gym or something, but of course I won't. Maybe tomorrow...   

Operation plan this wedding is underway!

So the fiancée and I have been thinking of changing the date of our wedding from September 3rd 2011 to May of 2011. That means I have to start planning pretty much now. Dustin will be gone till sometime in October and once he gets back our wedding will only be five months away. I have to plan this wedding somewhat alone. Anyways, right now I'm working on our guest list, and it is honestly a lot harder then I thought it was going to be. Dustin is from Ohio, meaning all his guests live there. I live in Rhode Island, so the wedding is going to be here. I feel bad because I know the majority of our guests are going to be from my side. I really hope that our guests have enough time to make plans to make it to our wedding. We're thinking/hoping for our wedding to have around 100 guests.

We obviously have a budget, and I don't know exactly who to invite and if they should bring a guest or whatnot.  

I don't even know why I'm worrying about all this now. Invitations and save the date cards aren't even supposed to get sent out until about three months before the wedding, I think.

Oh jeeze I have a lot to think about with this wedding, but I am beyond excited to start actually planning =]

Of course its not too late to start looking at dresses, right? I saw this one and fell in love;

Alright, sorry I lied

Why can't I stay away from you today blog? I have no idea. Since I have nothing better to do at the moment, I figure I will enlighten you with the lovely modifications I have on my body.

Starting with my tattoos. I already posted my two most recent, the lyrics and the letter. My first one is the Japanese symbol which means 'sisters'. I got it on my 18th birthday with my sister. We both have it, I on my right side and her on her left. We got them done at Pandora's Box Tattoo and I probably won't ever go back there. He was overpriced and not even that good. Numbers two and three are two black and pink nautical stars on my lower back (not a trampstamp though, I promise =P) My good friend Travis came with me to get them done. I got these at Inkognito Tattoo and I vow to never go anywhere else but here for any of my future tattoos. He does amazing work and excellent prices. My fourth and favorite so far is a bird with a vine in its mouth kind of holding an anchor. The vine is used instead of a rope. My explanation of this tattoo always sucks so its a lot easier to see it in person or a picture, and right now, a picture will have to do =] It says 401 on the anchor which is my area code. I love lil Rhode Island.

 

 

I have ten piercings at the moment, last week I had eleven (RIP lip piercing) It was being annoying and it hurt a little even though I had it for almost a year, so I decided just to take it out. The majority of being on my ears. I have three in each lobe, tragus on both ears, my industrial on my right ear and my nose on my left side. I used to have my lobes stretched to a 0g but I took them out and they shrunk right back down to a 14g so I can wear normal earrings again.

Okay so I promise now, no more blogs today!  Byeeee =]

How we met..

Last post of the day, I promise =P I'm just bored and have quite a bit of catching up to do..

I met my fiancée while he was stationed in CT at sub school. I live in Rhode Island, and Dustin happened to be in Providence at a night club which is about an hour away from the sub school. He hates the clubs, started getting bored and was about to leave. Then he sees me walk in the door, doesn't say anything and just grabs me and we start dancing. We had an amazing night together and I got his phone number before we left. I texted him the next day and he convinced me to visit him. Again, we had an amazing night together, said our goodbyes because he was supposed to leave for Chicago the next day. I honestly didn't think I was going to see him again and I was devastated. The next day I get a text from him telling me that something went wrong with some paperwork and he won't be leaving. It was the best news I had ever heard. We instantly started dating. He did end up leaving, but it wasn't for three months later. He is originally from Ohio, but came here on his leave last month and we got engaged! He'll be getting deployed soon, and I won't see him till October. We're getting married September of 2011 and I can't wait. I can't wait to move down to Florida and be with him!

Some cute things I found =]
