Love Shack and Appalachian Trail

I'm attempting to post something before 5:00 today. At the moment it is 4:23 so we will see how much I get in.

Let's see -

March 8th - Bridal Show at Cattle Annies! That was so much fun. I am considering modeling wedding dresses now! Gracie had a great time getting to see everything - she even danced her heart out during the run way show. =) We got a few more things for the wedding - quartet, videographer. I'm so excited.

Spring Break = amazing. Had an awesome and memorable time with GG and GD. We spent the first night on the pourch talking about wedding stuff on our new recliners that they've decided to give me and Casey. One night I scared GD by hiding behind his bed. Glad he didn't take off his pants! Gran Gran and I had a fun time - she made fun of me getting up late =) Gran Gran also ate her first snack wrap from McD's. I recorded GD on my phone saying the blessing. =) I tried on my wedding dress several times for different people. GG and GD took pics - I love it! And I love them. It was a great time. GranDaddy wanted to take the camera to work and show everyone. Once while we were getting into the car to go to Dills, GG told me to get some aluminum foil. Grabbing the first aluminum foil that I saw, I made my way back to the car. GD, from his reclining chair, gave me a funny look. GG goes, "What did you bring the cake for?!" Haha. I guess she just wanted the plain foil. =) The week was filled with me teaching GG how to text, plenty of stops at the McD's, a trip to commerce to listen to Grampa rant about Sue, laughing with GG and GD, late nights watching TV, a trip to Cracker Barrel to see the family, talks of travel with Buck and Emma on the rockers, trying to get Buck to sleep with me, and wedding planning. It was perfect. Gr

GROOMZILLA! Haha...I got an email about a contest so I quickly filled it out and sent it. Turns out that they loved Casey and wanted more pics of him! Long story short, there is now an article about Casey up on the internet and we will know if we won a free honeymoon on April 17th! Can't wait.

March 17 - WE SIGNED THE LEASE! We ate lunch with Miss Tyree and it was done! The Love Shack is ours! I'm so excited.

We have decided that we want to hike the Appalachian Trail. Casey has been camping more and more and pitched the idea to me a few days ago. Yesterday though, the 22nd, I said I wanted to as well and we began thinking seriously about it. How exciting is that?! It will def. be challenging but I'm up for it.

Jobs! I had an interview for Course Editor on Friday the 20th. It went very well. Thank you, Jay! It would be incredible if God gave me this job. It would be SUCH a huge blessing. Whatever your will be, Lord. I have another interview with a few more people on Friday. We'll see what happens! I'll take what I can get. Right now it appears that Casey will be going to school full time and I will be working/school. Interesting, but it works. =)

Tonight we meet with Mark Witt to talk about PA. I really just don't feel good about it, but we'll see.

I thought I had mentioned that I got a new wedding dress in my last post, but apparently I didn't. I'll most certainly remember it! I cried the entire way there. It was hard to tell mom and dad I wanted a new one. They were concerned I wasn't sure about marriage. We went anyway - and it was SO worth it. I tried on several before Cindy brought one out. I didn't think I'd like it, but when I tried it on, I LOVED it. Mom and Dad both loved it as well. It was just...perfect. I have tried it on SO many times since then! =) It's just amazing. Bye bye, gathers!

Things have been great between Casey and I. I love him to death. Counseling has been awesome - it really opens us up and shows us things. I'm really praying we get a job at Liberty - he would be able to quit Dominos. It's been getting more and more frustrating for him, it seems. :/

Gracie's Birthday is soon. Casey and I had a date day yesterday and went to Water Stone, downtown to our spot, and to walmart to get her a sleeping bag =) While we were at Water Stone, we laughed and played the whole time. He blew a fart my way, I made "the face," we argued over who would eat the crust, talked and just had fun. =) When Casey went to the bathroom, he knocked on the door and someone was in there. When he heard that person coming out, he quickly walked over to a corner so the person wouldn't recognize him. Just thought it was cute. =)

I need to start working out again. =) I am going to start very soon. Tonight, I am distracted by Bible 350 and the meeting. But soon.

Ash came up this weekend while the boys were hiking. We had so much fun! We went to Roankoke and ate a very filling Mexican dinner, and then we were off to David's to "get my dress altered." Her jaw dropped and eyes popped when I told the consultant, "Yes, we're here for a five thirty bridesmaid fitting...." =) It was awesome. The lady altering my dress told me she wants a video of the reception. (I was a little hyper).

Tonight Bob gets home from Claire's. Feels like he's down there every weekend now.
