I am slowly going crazy…

13 days until my BIG day!! This is getting ridiculous! I cannot sit at my desk and work! I have 8 working days left before I get off for my wedding and I still cannot concentrate! I am looking up wedding advice, how to focus on work right now, everything!! I DO NOT know how I will get through the next 2 weeks!! Oh my goodness. I am sick of myself talking about it and thinking about it ALL the time, but I can’t help it! I want to have all my meetings now, finish my programs tonight and get married tomorrow!!! I just can’t wait! This is ridiculous. I don’t know how to concentrate or how to stay sane!!
I am so excited for all the family that will be coming from all over too! I think when all the cousins are graduated and married in the next few years we will have to start making up reasons to go visit one another once a year! So far, it has worked out pretty well for us! I guess at least one of us will have to have a baby every year! haha.
I cannot focus….
It kind of sucks….
If you have any good advice on how I can stay sane, it would be greatly appreciated. At home I can clean and find other things to do, so I just need advice on how to focus at work PLEASE!!!

Anyways…thanks for reading! More Amazing Adventures to come!!!

Yes, I am THAT girl!

17 days till my wedding! YES! I AM “that” girl who cannot stop thinking, talking, BREATHING about my wedding!! So if you don’t want to hear it, you may want to not talk to me until after July 25th!!
There. You have been warned!!

On a side note, I have been thinking about getting a new house lately…I really want one. I know it’s probably 4-5 years down the road, but if we really want it to happen we have to start planning it now! I want a 2 story with a basement<- (that has no problems) with wood flooring. Atleast 4 bedrooms because we’re having atleast one more child and we need an office. 5 bedrooms would be nice too though! I plan on buying “used” as opposed to new because I like older houses better and they are cheaper. Hopefully we can find a nice house in a surrounding town so Jess and I can keep our same jobs and just have a longer commute. Definately NOT in Fort Wayne though! A big yard is a must with an area that’s fenced in of course. It get me excited just thinking about the possibilities and the fact that if we start planning now we can do it in like, 4 years!

I have also decided that although we have already outgrown our current house we are going to go ahead with the plan of not preventing getting pregnant starting on our honeymoon! EXCITING!! We have a spare room right now so we could fit another member into our family. We definately need to PURGE some major stuff to accomplish that, but I guess that’s the great thing about being pregnant is that you WANT to do those kinds of things! (Nesting mode)

So many life changes to think about!

I need a time machine!!!

HeLLo!!!
Just dropping by to say hello…

I need a time machine to transport myself to the 23rd…or maybe the 22nd since I get my facial that day. I am WAY too anxious and excited for my wedding week/honeymoon!

I got to go to the spa on Saturday for the first time thanks to my bridesmaid Kari! 🙂 It was AWESOME!!! I really did feel like a new woman when I walked out! Every girl should get a facial and massage at some point and brides should get a facial a couple days before their wedding. I felt SO pretty afterwards even without make-up!

We got rid of both puppies already…it was a little early but we had to get rid of them..Jess and I were getting no sleep and Bella was miserable. They are in very loving and caring homes now so I know they will be well taken care of! Back to somewhat normal life at the house, although Jack asks about the puppies quite a bit..hopefully he’ll forget soon?!

I love my family…my sister and mom had a really great family bridal shower for me on Sunday in southern Indiana and although only us and 3 other people were there it was great because I haven’t seen those ladies in a long time and I love them so much! Also my grandma and great aunt can’t make it to the wedding so I got to celebrate with them there! Johnny Carino’s… YUMMY!! Their spicy garlic tilapia is SO GOOD!!! The server was excellent too and my sister and mom said he “liked” me. They said they could tell because I asked him to take a picture with me and apparently the look on his face was an excited one!

Life is going great and I appreciate all the people that are with me for the ride and helping along the way!

Here comes the bride!

HeLLo!!!

I am so excited for my wedding! YAY! I am also excited for all the people I know who are also having weddings this summer! It’s seems like a lot of people are getting married this year, but then again it’s just like when you get a new car & you start seeing that car everywhere. I guess I am just more aware!

Family, friends, fun times & becoming Mrs. Jess Edward Voirol…what more could I ask for?!

I guess stress is the best diet because I lost 5 pounds in the past few weeks! I had been trying to follow a diet, but I cheated everyday so I didn’t think it would work, but it did! Also, I now am starting a no white-carb, 1 pop a day diet which will become no pop 2 weeks before the wedding. Exercise might make it’s way in there too if I find the time! I just want to feel healthy and good about myself for the wedding. The diet is more for my self-esteem than actually thinking anything will drastically change in my body over the next month! (I’m a realist)

So, I guess the cat’s out of the bag, so to speak, because we were trying to keep it a secret that our dog Bella had puppies (for the 3rd time!), but my mom was at my house the other night and Jack told her! Damn 2 year olds can’t keep a secret to save their lives! Anyways…Bella did have 2 puppies 3 weeks ago. 1 boy & 1 girl. We play with them daily because Jack is old enough and aware enough to remember they are at our house. Jack decided to call them ‘Momma” & “Dada” after I told him they were a boy and a girl. We continue to explain to him that they ARE NOT staying at our house and we’re holding them until they get old enough to go to their homes (we’ve already given both away), but I am still afraid (and expecting) withdrawl when they go.

Well, that’s all folks! I am so pumped for July 25th it’s ridiculous and I wish it would just get here already!!!

Random Thoughts

Very promising interview yesterday…a few more this week to go! Hopefully I find the perfect person for the position!

Sending out invites this weekend after they are all done. Very excited! They are a pain in my butt!

I really want to go check out Canal Days in New Haven this week. I hope I have time!

I can’t wait for Africa to be open in the zoo! It opens this weekend! SO EXCITED!! I hope it’s not too terribly packed whenever I get the chance to take Jack! Beware of the sky ride!! I’ve never been on it, but I’m quite sure it’s a huge liability…what if someone falls out and gets eaten by a lion?!?!?

So much going on I can’t even keep my days straight anymore!

Stay tuned for more random thoughts/blogs and AMAZING ADVENTURES!!!

Freaking out

So….My assistant quit last Thursday. I am training a new assistant right now which will take 3 weeks. (At least). I still need another one though and I have no idea where to find this person. If you know anyone it’s M-F 4-9pm and every other Saturday.
Also, still haven’t done the invites…don’t really know when that’s gonna happen.
My house is a mess.
I have less than 2 months until my wedding.
Life is great.
I am FREAKING OUT right now!!!! (from stress)
It’s ok I guess. I would really like to find my other assistant soon so I can combine the training and not have to do the same 3 week training process 2 times right in a row, but…whatev! It’s so hard to find the right people for this job, there’s just so much that is involved with it and they have to be motivated and trustworthy, reliable, and willing to take direction from a 24 year old. My job is so complicated and I just wish I could clone myself twice so I don’t have to make someone else think like I do!!!
Anyways, I am freaking out!!!
LoVe!

Indy 500

Hola!

I just wanted to say I had the most awesome time at the Indy 500!! I totally recommend it to everyone! At least go one time then make up your mind. Don’t judge it before you try it because it’s lots of fun!!! Thanks to the Hakels and to them being more experienced so we weren’t the yahoos waiting in the same spot for 2 hours after the race!! I had a great time and am really considering getting my own annual tickets!! Hopefully they’d be close to the Hakels!!

That’s all!

What a week! (A good one this time!)

I finally have all of my wedding dress “stuff”! YAY! And thanks to Bethie, Mom and Kari for helping me dress, undress and pick out a veil!! I also emailed my flower person the pics of the flowers I want! Yay! I think for the most part I am on track…I still have to call some tent people & I still have to do the dang invitations!! That will fill up mine and my sister’s weekend!! (thanks, again!)

WE ARE GOING TO THE RACE ON SUNDAY!! GO SCOTT DIXON!! I decided to root for him because he’s cool and Austin (my nephew) roots for him and he won’t be there so I’m kind of “representing” for him! YAY FOR THE INDY 500!!!

I’m adding people to my department at work in order to maximize our results…YAY! Today (this week actually) is going much more smoothly than last week. No one should have to work 70 hours in one week..I don’t care what you do!

All in all, things are great and just keep getting better!! Thanks for all the support during these last few months…I know I am and for awhile have been “that girl” re: my wedding. You know, that girl that won’t shut up about her wedding and that girl who is really annoying because all she talks about is her wedding! But this too shall pass soon enough! I am enjoying being “that girl” for now and if it annoys you, you should probably just not talk to me until August!!

Stay tuned for more AMAZING ADVENTURES!
