fall

Odie and I went for a walk tonight, and when we got to the end of our street I smelled it: FALL!!!

Fall has GOT to be my most favorite season. I love the smells, sights, and sounds of these next few months. The faint scent of burning leaves, the changing of the leaves, and the crunch of said leaves, twigs, etc... Apple cider, bon fires with friends, cool weather, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and this year, my wedding!

Oh how I love this time of year. It makes me so very happy!!!

gosh

I keep forgetting that I have one of these blog thingies. I suppose I should write more often if I'm going to keep it... But anywho

Once again, there has been lots going on. I've had my first and second bridal showers already. They were SO incredibly wonderful!!! My future mother-in-law threw one for me about 2 weeks ago and my mom & grandma gave me one yesterday. We received so many wonderful presents!!! The best part about the showers though was knowing that people care and love me. Well, that and knowing that I am welcomed into Tom's family. It's such a nice feeling!

The wedding is about one month and 3 days away... I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! Time has gone by soooooo fast! Lots to do, lots to do!

We are supposed to go to the DR next week to get our next sonogram but I've been having some issues this past week so I'm going to try to get in today. I hope everything's ok!!!

time for an update

Lots going on around these here parts lately.

With the wedding being less than 2 months away the craziness has started. We're getting lots of RSVPs back and finishing up some last minute things. Mal and Angela's bridesmaid dresses came in today and Tom and I are ordering our wedding rings tonight. Whoo hoo!!! Sunday is my first of two bridal showers... should be fun!

Had another DR's appointment on Monday. We got to hear the heartbeat again and next month we might get to see if the baby is a boy or girl! I hope the little cashew cooperates with the ultrasound tech. :)

Tom and I are looking at a house tonight, too. It's such a huge house... I really hope we can get it!!! It'd be great to have friends over!!!

blah

I don't feel like doing much today... and of course, today is the day that I need to get a lot done.

Gotta clean the kitchen, do laundry, go shopping, go find some maternity khaki capris, go to the bank, and I have a WIU Alumni thing at the fair at 5. I suppose I can get all of this done before then but I just don't want to do anything but sleep or hang around the house all day.

This weekend was kinda of crazy busy. I worked Saturday, came home, rushed to get ready to go to Tom's mom's house - we were there for maybe 2 hours when some drama unfolded. So we left at 10 and got home sometime after midnight.

Yesterday we were up early to go to church and then were at mom's all day. We were able to be at home for a little while before meeting up with Mike and Tracy to see the new Bourne movie. It was REALLY good but I got sick in the middle of it and felt like C R A P the rest of the night. When we got home I went straight to bed. I guess I'm still feeling like crap hence not wanting to do anything right now.

Lots of unneccesary drama going on lately... and at the WORST possible time, too. Tom and I are really not wanting this 2 months before the wedding. And of course, the drama is with people who mean a lot to us and are a part of our wedding. *sigh*

On a good note - we received 16 RSVPs last week. So VERY excited about that! I've always been... oh I don't know, paranoid maybe?... that no one would come to my wedding. That stems from childhood, I know, but unfortunately has carried over into adulthood. So I'm glad to see that atleast 30 some people will be there so far! ;)

Today is the 3 month mark... Only 6 more to go until Baby Leahy is here!!!!

stupid reality TV

This morning at 4am I got bored while at work. So for the first time I watched "Animal Cops: Houston" on Animal Planet. Holy flippin' crap. The tears were a'flowin. I started to feel so udderly bad for those poor animals... malnurished dogs, a horse attacked by another horse, an abandoned mommy dog and her pups... I couldn't stop crying!!! Stupid pregnancy.

When I got home from work Odie was there to greet me at the door as usual. He got the BIGGEST hug...

I do NOT understand how people can be so cruel to animals. What is the point?

on a much brighter note...

Here is my baby!!!

*sigh*

It's pretty sad when the only thing stressing you out about your wedding is one of your bridesmaids.

Quite ridiculous if you ask me.
