Like me, it seems like a lot of my fellow bloggers are also happy that today is the first day of February!! In
exactly 23 days I will be
in the arms of my fiance again, in 24 days I will see him
graduate from Power School (finally! it has been a long 6 months for him, and for me, he's been working his butt off and I know he is anxious to be done) annnnd in 27 days
he will officially be moved from SC to NY and so very very
VERY close to home!
I CANNOT WAIT!!
Ok, need some advice from my bloggy friends!
I'm going to officially ask 2 of my best friends to be in my wedding. They both know they are, I just haven't officially asked them yet in the way that I want. I have another really good friend, the one who actually introduced us over 5 1/2 years ago, that I also plan on asking to be a part of my special day (still have to talk with the future hubby about his guys, because we want to keep it somewhat even). My dilemma is that the 2 girls that will definitely be a part of it are my 2 best friends, one from since we were in second grade and one from college, but I am having a very hard time in choosing my maid of honor. I honestly would love to have both of them, but I don't know, would that be weird? If I only have the 2 girls, I guess it wouldn't be so odd, but if I have 3, would it be kind of strange to have 2 MOH's and one bridesmaid? I know that my other friend who introduced us wouldn't care if she was not my MOH, so I'm not worried about that. If I wanted them both, would I then have to have 4 girls, my 2 MOH's and then 2 bridesmaids? I know in reality it is my wedding and I can do whatever I feel like lol, but I still would like to get an opinion from you all! :)
And now for some other random updates on the going's on in my life:
- There is a big ice/snow storm headed my way, that a large part of the midwest has already had to deal with. We had an early dismissal today, which was very nice, and I'm crossing all my fingers and toes we get a snow day tomorrow! (And the way it is looking, there is a very big possibility!)
- I'm putting together my Valentine's Day box for my sailor! Well, really I've been working on in for the past month, just adding little things I find or have here and there. But, I'm most likely going to send it out the middle of next week so he has it in time for the 14th. Even though it's so close to seeing him, I can't resist putting together a care package for him! :) When he was home on leave over Christmas, I even put some of the little random presents I got him (candy, coupon books, reading book) in a box, addressed it and told him the mailman was "confused" because he's so used to him being away for the holidays! He definitely enjoyed it and thought it was very cute!
- Little rant! A girl I went to college with posted a facebook status that just irked me earlier today. Apparently she either got a job or is on an extended business trip for her job down in Norfolk, VA. "going crazy on a Tuesday night in Norfolk... getting dressed up with the girls and trolling the Chili's on base for uniforms!!" The statement "trolling on base for uniforms" just got to me! Girls like that, ugh, I can't even begin to describe my feelings about them! I think more than anything it was just the word, "trolling" that got to me the most! If it had been something like, "going to Chili's, hoping to meet some cute guys in uniform" I would have probably just laughed it off and not cared, but just that word has such a connotation to it that I just do not like!! (Ok, rant over!)
- It looks like, and this is still a HUGE maybe, that we will be getting married sometime in November, most likely sometime around Thanksgiving! :-D As soon as he gets up to NY, he's going to ask his SLPO when he officially starts Prototype, when his grad is and then we will pick our date about 2 weeks after then. YAAAY! :)
- And more wedding things, this also means that I just LOST a month of planning, since we were originally thinking/planning on December! :-O Sooo, some of my plans may have to change, the places I want to look at my not be even a possibility, and it may be a serious time crunch. But, I knew all of this before we were even engaged and talking about our wedding, since it is the Navy after all! The one person, no matter how many times I try to explain that it's the military and nothing is a definite and anything can change, is my mom. I think it's just hard for her because that means I may not get all the details of my wedding that I've always wanted and that it also means the sooner I get married, the sooner I will be leaving. But, we're just going to do anything and everything we can, work with what we can, and just go from there. As long as it's him and me up there saying "I do" nothing else matters!
- Ahhhh, I'll *fingers crossed all goes well* I'll be marrying my sailor in less than a year, in about 10 months!!! WOOHOO!
- I wasn't planning having his sister in my wedding party (we're not extremely close, not because we don't get along, it's just hard because we don't live near each other so I don't get to see her all that often) but I was planning on have her read something during the ceremony, which I think will be nice. I still want her to be a part of our day and I think she will like to be asked to read (at least I hope so!) and he completely agrees with and supports that idea. However, I may ask her to be in my wedding, but I'm not 100% sure yet (see advice question above.)
Hope everyone is having a good start to their week and if you are having to deal with all this yucky weather too, I feel your pain (and if you're not and live somewhere where it's nice and sunny, you stink! lol just kidding! i'm just extremely jealous!)

I couldn't choose one of my friends to be my maid of honor over the others, so I just didn't have one. THey were all bridesmaids but I told them it was because they all meant so much to me that I couldn't choose!
Have two maid of honors!!! Why not? They are both big parts of your life. I would totally do the same thing! And that fb friend of yours said it best, she IS a Troll! and a tag chaser at that. Definitely not a classy lady. I am excited to hear more wedding news as it comes in!
<3
Trolling would irk me too. I have been irritated lately because (as you liked my status) I am fond of someone and people have given me crap about it. Cause a few guys I have shown interest in have been in the military and my friends back home are like what are you in love with the Navy. I had to tell them thank you very much but one of them is a Marine. No I am not just attracted to military men. I happen to live in a heavily populated military town and trip over them. I can't just look at a guy I like and am getting along with and be like hey buddy sorry I can't date you cause you are enlisted. This is why I have named the guy I am interested in Purple and only my dearest friends know who he is. I don't want to be considered a tag chaser, that girl. It irks me. Which is why I won't say if this guy is a civilian or military. When I'm ready, when we are ready we'll say. But ya people like her irk me off too.
I chose my sister as my MOH, which was hard cuz I was closer to my bestie, but family... Anywho, My bestie was the main bridesmaid. Then my brothers girl at the time..who I've known since she was like 4 anyways. My youngest sis I wasn't gonna have a part in the wedding cuz she was never around or anything, but the day before my mom ended up convincing me to include her. So I had her walk my flower girl & ring bearer down the aisle. I'd say either make em both MOH or none at all. I would hate to choose. The "older" bestie would be hurt cuz she's been w/u longer & the "newbie" wouldn't feel like she's good enough. I've been there...trust me. Whatever your decision, it'll be right. And you still have time!
At the end of the day, it will be you and your man's day and no one else's. So, I say do whatever makes you happy.
Hey check out my blog I left you something...
