So here is our journey.. thus far. That I can remember. It's not all of it, so deal with it. Met my hubby in high school, he played soccer and I was a team manager. I didn't like him at the time, understand, he was a year behind me and dorky looking. He is your typical computer type nerd, had curly blond hair that was totally unruly, glasses, and was always at a computer or with the audio/visual crew. GEEK! LOL! We talked all through high school.. he attended school dances with some of my friends and so on. During my senior year, I started taking an interest in him. His friends knew.. my friends knew.. he wanted nothing to do with it. He had just broken up with his one and only girlfriend and was reeling from that. His and my friends would lock us in the AV room together, after I had skipped homeroom. We talked and became really good friends. I graduated in June 95, and we started dating at the end of that month. Things were going fine. And then I decided I wanted to sow some oats, so to say. We took a 3 month break from each other in May of97 I think it was. He was attending Millersville University at this time and stayed on campus. He drove home on the weekends that he could to see me, and I went out some to see him. We ended up back together.. yada yada yada... got engaged in May of 2000. I started planning out wedding from the get go. We set the date for 11-9-02. (end of hunting season!) Picked out my dress and started paying on it, making stuff and just keeping boxes going that were marked with what was in them. In September 01, I was told I may have trouble getting my brides maids dresses in due to the Terroist Attacks. So we had to order them right away. UGH! What a mess. I ordered the seperates, because I wanted the girls to be able to use them again. The tops were velvet and the skirts were Irridescent Taffeta. The velvet came in marked to the dressmakers, who in turn called the bridal boutique to let them know. They weren't able to get the velvet in anymore because it was considered out of season and the bridal shop refused to purchase the tops made from the marked velvet. I then had to find someone to make the tops... found someone who TOTALLY f'd them up. Had to find someone to FIX them... in the mean time, my girlfriend found out she was pregnant, and would be 6 months pregnant at my wedding. (I had already ordered her skirt 2 sizes bigger, as my oldest nephew told me she was going to have a baby!!!) So then I had to find patterns for the tops to be made.. and yada yada yada... Everything turned out ok in the end. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. My sister and I got in a fight the night before my wedding because I wouldn't take any of her advice (was actually bil's), because I wanted to do things my way. My dad got mad at both of us, pulled us into a room and MADE us talk. I ended up having to do things the way they said to an extent to keep the peace. Just frustrated the hell out of me. So now we are starting our family. Brennan John Louis is due to join our world September 11, 2005. At least, that is our due date from the doctor's. I'm hoping to go early! LOL! So far, the pregnancy has been totally uneventful and in the beginning, I was even forgetting about being pregnant. It's really hard to believe that we are starting a family of our own. We are no longer the high school kids, we have responsibilities. We are going to be responsible for another human. That's the scariest part to me. Jason is looking forward to being a father, although he doesn't say a whole lot. He goes to some of the doctor appointments with me. He always knows when they are and decides if he's awake enough to go in the am when he comes home. Which is fine with me. I didn't really expect him at all the appointments! Brennan knows his daddy's voice, and responds to it all the time with moving around. Brennan got his daddy a diaper backpack for Father's Day, so that daddy has his own special bag to use. Jason was quite tickled with his "gift!" So.... that's all I'm going to write for the day.. later.
