A few changes…!

by zel

I’m sure you’ve probably noticed a few changes (well, I’m hoping you did anyway)!

I’m trying to buckle down and figure this WordPress thing out. I’ve had this blog since April of 09′ and I never really bothered to mess with the plug-ins and all that sort of stuff unless it was something that I needed to do, like NAO. But I’m curious to know what plug-ins there are and how they can help make my blog better.

My categories aren’t working correctly, I know, and I’m trying to figure out how to fix that. Also, I’m thinking of changing them. It’s probably going to take me FOREVER to go through all of my posts and re-categorize them but I want to change this blog up a bit. I also took out Google Friend Connect since word is out that Google is getting rid of it for non blogspot blogs in March of 2012. So in its place is my link to follow me on Bloglovin (I’m obsessed with that site lately) and to follow me on Facebook and of course you could RSS too.

With that said, I’m thinking of opening up log in, where you guys register to my blog to see private posts. I’m hitting a point where I want to write personal things here, but I want to keep certain personal things out of the public. If that makes sense.

I’ve also started a channel with this blog, and I’m doing vlogmas so that’s exciting. I’ll be editing the first video for that tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll have more to say tomorrow. Ooh I do have something to say, but not too much. Darn. But I’m hoping to turn that into an everyday babble vlog channel. So yay! Pretty excited. I did my first video on my new review channel. So that’s exciting, sort of.

In totally unrelated news… I can’t wait to be back in Florida and I’ve been thinking about my re-wedding. When M and I got married, the plan was to get re-married after everything with the military had settled down. But since that plan didn’t work out, it’s been a little blah lately. Well that and my total going away get together fail from last year. A part of me sort of doesn’t want to bother with another wedding if no one’s going to show up like my last one. But I figure, we have some pretty amazing friends who we know will definitely be there, no matter where it is so maybe a re-wedding wouldn’t be so hopeless. I want a real wedding, somewhere where I have full control over the decorations and with what goes on. And I want to be happy and surrounded by amazing people. So maybe I’ll start sort of planning that soon (:

We’re hitting the single digits now!

by zel

Less than ten days away from the wedding. The countdown is now hitting the single digits. My goodness, its coming faster and faster. I am nervous, it does still feel all so surreal. I cant believe this is happening! Picked up my dress the other day, I tried everything on and it looks amazing. I couldnt help but smile and twirl around. I’m so glad my sister in law and the store lady didnt look at me like I was insane. I should do a review on the shop I went to, their customer service is amazing. And the ladies that work there are so very sweet. I have to admit, I think I’m more excited we’re going to Vegas than that we’re getting married. Oh my gosh! I’m gonna be one of those girl’s who walk out the hotel and people pass by thinking I bet she just got married! How weird! I’m ready to marry my best friend (deep down inside, even though while I’m up there I might be searching for a way to break for the door, ignore that lol), I’m ready for delicious buffet food that I miss so very much, I’m ready to see my cousin who I havent seen in two years, I’m not however ready to go through the hassle of changing my last name or walking down the isle. Seriously, can I just… not walk down the isle, or can everyone just like, not look at me lol.

This is insane.

Oh! And Christmas shopping is done, mostly. I have to get 3 more things and I’ll be done :) I wish I could had enjoyed the holiday spirit more this year, this month flew right by me thanks to planning this wedding (though I cant really complain, I’m getting my dream winter wedding and my navy blue with silver dream wedding)! I hope next year I’ll be able to be more into the holiday spirit and actually get our tree up (I wasnt able to this year, sadly) and bake delicious cookies and make cute little crafty things and just enjoy everything.

Martin hugged me one night and told me “did you know, we’ll be starting the new year as a family? We wont just be saying it anymore, it’ll actually be true this time”. And that made me happy. Like everyone else who knows us, we already feel like we’re married. But know that we will actually be a family does make me feel warm inside :)

He’s determined to make next year happy for me, my happy 25. I’ve been dreading turning 25 since I had a nervous break down when I turned 20! Haha. Goodness, he’s put up with my random outbursts for such a long time. I think its cute and sweet of him to make sure that me turning 25 wont be such a big deal and I’m so thankful that he cares that much.

This one day we were at the mall and we were walking out of this kiddie/anime store and there was a scroll poster on the wall and one of the guys who are in the Kingdom Hearts Organization XIII looks like Sephiroth (a Final Fantasy video game character), well, in my opinion. So I get them mixed up. Martin’s a big Sephiroth fan (I personally dont like him) and so I was pointing to it and I said “hey, isnt that your friend?” and he was like “no, that’s not him” and I was like “oh… I tried” and we were walking away from the store and I was thinking about my ex who probably woulda bit off my head for not being “smart” enough to know the difference and Martin squeezed me and said “I’m not mad, I’m not like your ex. I dont expect you to remember all of these things” sometimes I think he can hear my thoughts. But I do love that I dont have to pretend to be some video game expert to keep him happy and I’m glad that the things I do know, he’s excited to teach me :)

I’m working my way though the Sweep series, I’m on book 7 (The Calling) right now and I’m fighting the urge to go continue reading it lol. I’m sad that I’m almost done with the series! I’ll try to post up a few reviews (I think I reviewed the first one, though I’m not sure). I think my blog could us a few more pictures anyway :)

I’m also suppose to be finishing up some packages that I’m gonna have to send out on Monday, and I’m not haha. I’m lazy! And it’s cold! I’ll finish them soon though. Its not much left to get done, but still a bit. Hopefully Monday will the be the last busy day before Christmas! Next year, I’m not going to forget to get my holiday shopping done in November! Haha.

Less than 15 days away…

by zel

The wedding is less than 15 days away. I’m extremely nervous. I swear its the guys who are suppose to get cold feet, not the girls! This is insane.

I have to pick up my dress this week (ahh, finally!) and Martin has to pick up his wedding band, mine isnt done yet :( I hope it gets done soon! Gotta finish up the favors, mail in the payment for the reception, order the cake and I think that might be it. Am I really all done?!

The cold is making me lazy, I’ve been getting out of bed passed noon! I hate that, I feel like I just slept away half my day. Goodness. I’ve been trying to squeeze in as much time as I can reading Sweep, I’m on the 6th book: Awakening. I love this series, I’m sad I’m almost half way done with it. I read the back of the last book and now I’m itching to get through the rest of the books, but not at the same time. Darn.

I need to do a little more Christmas shopping, though I have no idea what I’m looking for. At least its just for my parents and I also have to pick up a gift for Mae too!

I’m thinking of baking some Christmas cupcakes today! But we’ll see how that goes. I got some Red Velvet Cookies from Lucky’s yesterday. I wonder how those will be. I wish I had more time to get into the holiday spirit this year, poop! I totally will next year though! I have so much to do to prep for the new year. New Years is probably one of my top favorite holidays even though its not a really epic celebration. But new beginnings is something that Aries are attracted to :)

My mom added me on Facebook, how odd lol.

Gonna go read some more of Sweep before I go pick up Martin :)

I cant think of a cool title…

by zel

I dont have much to update on, but I figured I’ll write an entry while I finally have time to!

It’s been extremely cold here lately, and as much as I thought I’d finally love the weather, I kinda really havent been. All I’ve been wanting to do lately is just curl up under my fleece blankets and sleep!

I finally got to try on my wedding dress last week, I love it! The colors came out wonderful, I was scared the navy blue would be too dark… but it came out perfect. They pinned it up so they could make alterations and it should be done early next week. Martin found his tux, finally! His tux wont match my dress exactly, but whatever. There isnt time to worry about that right now. I have to send in the final agreement paper for the chapel today, I’m so nervous! I cant believe I’m actually getting married! That’s so insane to think about!

And I almost completely forgot about Christmas lol, it’s been a bit hectic around here so its only natural that I somehow forget about it. I have my Christmas presents ready to be wrapped, but I dont feel like I’m giving enough out. I hate that, I always have to buy people more than one gift all the time. I obviously havent had much time to think about gifts or to go get them. I hate how close the wedding is to Christmas, ruins the Christmas spirit! Haha. But I am glad I finally get my dream navy blue/silver wedding.

Finally changed my bed sheets to my happy snowmen fleece ones. I LOVE these sheets, they’re so… happy! And warm :) my OCD was acting up like crazy while I had to change them… but the process went smoothly, thank God. The only thing is… my snowmen are upside down lol! But its okay, I’ll deal. I started a new OCD blog, I dont know if I’ll post it up or not. But I’m going to try to keep up with it. I need to record my progress or lack of. I’ve become obsessed with figuring out how all of this works and why it happens.

Watched movies with Martin yesterday. Time always passes so fast when we’re together. We watched High School Musical 3 (I wanted to know what the big deal was and of course, my new celeb crush Zac, rawr lol), The Breakup (which didnt end the way I thought it would) and The Notebook was on tv, he tricked me! He knows that movie makes me sad (but its one of my all time fav movies and books). I love him, he’s always so sweet to me :)

Gotta go finish up some stuff before running errands! Oh how I cant wait til this hectic-ness is over!!

A bit better.

by zel

I bought Endless Love from Glee on iTunes. I &hearts; their version. And I was also looking up/watching Glee all night last night *cough*. I think I’m obsessed, and I feel like I’m cheating on Wicked by saying that! Haha.

I got a call from Martin at 0730 yesterday. I swear, he sounds surprised every time I pick up the phone, like I wasnt going to pick up or something. If only he knew how fast I wake up when my phone rings these days. Too bad he’s coming home, I’m going to go back to taking an hour for him to wake me up every morning lol. Maybe not.

But, he sounded a lot happier. He was laughing a lot more. It was nice to have a happy conversation with him for once, its been awhile since we’ve had one since he’s been there. The situation sucks, but we’re use to things going wrong so I’m sure we’ll bounce back in time.

I was talking to him about his uniform cause he was saying how he has to return his blues and his camos and I was like “no fair, I’ll never get to see you in your camos” and he was like “yeah… I dont look too bad in them either” asshole lol. He knows how much I love camos. I was like “did you get a bunch of name tags?” and he was like “yeah… I’m hella touching my uniform and pointing to it like you can see me haha” asshole! He’s wearing them right now?! Well duh, what else would they wear but *swoon*. I told him he got paid last week and I was like “wait thanks for taking us to Todai last week” and he started cracking up and hes like “wtf”. Got you boo!

I asked him if he still wanted to get married and he was like “yes, I do” and he sounded a little sad I asked. Hey man, just making sure. I told him I was upset with my parents the night before, but I talked to my mom and things are better now. I dont know how this is going to work out. But I have faith it will. I hate the idea of getting married. Hate might be an understatement, but to be honest, I am excited to be getting married. Not really for the ceremony part, but the being married to him part. I’m honestly not looking forward to the ceremony part. I get so nervous in front of people, even if they are just family and friends. I hate having the attention on me. You know how some people are like “YES! A day ALL about ME!” yeah, I’m not one of those people. Please please pay more attention to him than me! In fact, I’m making him walk down the isle. You think he’ll go for it?! Haha. Lets all hope.

On the upside at least now I only have to buy an xmas gift. I’m still waiting on his surprise and its not getting here fast enough! It might not get here at all, but I still have hope it will.

Tomorrow is finishing up the last minute wedding stuff, mailing out the invitations and putting the finishing touches on the favors and sending in the payment. My dress should be here next week. Lets hope the shoes I ordered dont cause me to trip and fall during the time I’m wearing them, at all.

Btw, like the new snowman layout? I dont like how the text box at the top is so high up, but I guess I just have to warm up to it… or something lol.
