Random Rant

So I was just watching Maury....(good start...I know..) And it got me to thinking, and the thinking bred a kind of rage inside me, and therefore i'll share it with all of you. About cheating. 


WHY?????!! I mean really. Why is cheating such a common occurrence these days. I just don't understand it and the thought of it absolutely infuriates me. Now i'm no stranger to cheating, and there is honestly nothing that makes you feel worse. IF YOU CAN'T STAY FAITHFUL TO THE PERSON YOU ARE WITH, WHY ARE YOU WITH THEM??? If they don't fulfill whatever need you have that is SO important to you, why don't you just cut the crap and BREAK UP WITH THEM? It's really so sad that faithfulness and honesty is so rare. SELFISHNESS HAS BECOME AN ABSOLUTE EPIDEMIC! But what I don't understand and what absolutely GRINDS MY GEARS about cheating is the person that is the accessory to cheating. The person that fully knows they are aiding and abetting to someones heartbreak. WHY WOULD YOU "HELP" SOMEONE CHEAT ON THEIR SPOUSE/GF-BF?? If you KNOW someone is in a relationship, WHY WOULD YOU still "date them"/sleep with them. Because we all know if the situation were flipped it would be a whole different story. It just pisses me off because Lord knows they will complain about how they can't stand cheating, if someone cheats on them it's unacceptable. Yet, they will go out and help someone they "like" cheat on their bf/gf. THEY ARE SO STUPID!!!! But unfortunately the cycle will never end because people will never stop being selfish. And that's just the sad fact of it all. If you are with someone that you KNOW is faithful to you, PLEASE don't take it for granted. I know I don't. 


And that's just my random rant for the day

Reception fun!

This Blog has turned into more of a wedding blog..at least for the time being. Mostly because that's all that's on my mind these days. anyways.Wellllll....Joshua and I went to tour a potential reception venue in St Paul. It's like 3 miles from our church and we really really loved it!! It's got so much character, so much class and very vintage. And that's really what I had in my mind even from the beginning. And not to mention it's affordable!! We are in discussions with the lady. Our date is open, and she has penciled us in for the date, so we'd just have to give our deposit! We're thinking this may be it people!! Josh got all giddy and happy while we were touring it...I think he kinda likes it a little bit ;) Queue the pictures..... Let me know what you think!!

I talked to the wedding coordinator this morning and we are officially scheduled for MAY 18th, 2012!! 

I'm singin the wedding day blues....

Josh and I have started getting down to it and making set plans for our big day. We have decided on May 2012, we are scheduled at the church for May 4th, But we may try to see if we can switch it to May 18th due to some "technical issues" within the family. But we'll see with all that. It's just getting to be such a headache. It is honestly no surprise to me that so many people choose to just elope. If that were an acceptable option within my family, I think at this point,I would definitely be leaning towards that route.
I mean, I always knew that weddings were expensive, but it was not until I started getting down to the intimate details of it all that I realized the sheer ridiculousness of the "wedding world." Things are so expensive!
I find it sad and almost troubling that the celebration of love and the decision to spend the rest of your life with someone turns into spending thousands of dollars on a show. Unfortunately, in all actuality, that's all a wedding has become. A show for your friends, family, and loved ones. A show that costs a ridiculous amount of money. 
It makes me sort of angry what the wedding industry has ultimately turned weddings into. Weddings now stand as a representation of a couple's wealth, rather than the representation of their undying commitment to one another. After all, this whole thing is about US. We are in love with each other, not our guests. Why is it so necessary spend all this money on the fluff?

I am literally trying to explore whatever options I can to make this wedding budget-friendly, and could use ALL the help I could possibly get. PLEASE?

Siiiiigh.....I am really hoping that within the next 4 months a money tree grows in my backyard. Or I work up the courage to rob a Bank.

Indeed

Thanksgiving

Well today was Thanksgiving. Josh and I spent it with my family. It was a great time with delicious food. I felt sick I was so full, but that's usually the point isn't it? It was kind of strange to have to "travel" home after a family function. Someone has to venture out of the small town, right?? May as well be me! Anyways, I am soo thankful for so many things, i figured I would take this time to list off some of the things I am thankful for- Just for fun. 

I am thankful for my health, as well as all of my family and those close to me. 

I am thankful that I have such an amazing, supportive and loving family! and funny!

I am thankful for Josh and everything he does for me, he's my rock.

I am thankful for Josh's family, and how unbelievably thoughtful and kind they are to me.

I am thankful to have a job, and be making money.

I am thankful that I enjoy going to my job, and like the people I work with.

I am thankful to have ALL of the things I need, and a good portion of the things I WANT

I am thankful to be surrounded by SO many people that would do anything for me!
I am thankful that I get to feel so loved SO often!

I am thankful that I don't have too many acquaintances, but a good number of REALLY good friends.

I am thankful for the time I get to reflect on what an awesome life I was given

I am thankful that I was brought up to appreciate what i've been given.

I'm thankful for every tough lesson I've had to learn just to get me to this point. 

Anyways, that was just a short little list of the things i'm predominantly thankful for. I could go on and on and on, but it would probably get a little boring after awhile! :) Until next time...

Been awhile

So it's been a few days since my last post, So I  figured I would get a few things out there before I have to start getting ready for the day! Blehhhhh. I've been workin A LOT lately! Which is a pain, but I know once I get paid I'll be glad I did it. Especially with Christmas creeping in! How the heck does Christmas come around so fast every year! Anyways, everything is starting to get into a routine and I do LOVE it down here!!  I am really really happy! I really like the people I work with, I laugh a lot-which is SO good! I love being able to come home to my sweet boy every night!! Everything is just coming together. Life is good! Now we just need to get crackin on this whole wedding thing!!!
