Have you ever realized how big of a roll the weather plays in the moods that we are in on any particular day? I don't guess I really paid much attention to it until I moved to the Midwest five years ago. This seems to be the melting pot of crazy weather. It can be 75 degrees, sun shining and not a cloud in the sky one day, and twelve hours later, it is 30 degrees and spitting snow and ice. I don't see how people can still wonder why I stay sick with something the majority of the time.
Well today it is 86 degrees outside, sun shining bright with a light breeze. A.K.A. the perfect weather. It could not feel any better outside. That is why I chose to sit down and write about it.
At my job, I deal with the public in a customer service atmosphere on a daily basis. I have began to realize that the prettier the day is, the more profit my store makes. Likewise, the crappier the day is, the slower it is in sales. So on that note, pretty weather, please make Springfield your home for the next few months and keep everyone here happy.

Planning
The wedding planning is continuing but surprisingly, it is going really well. I have finally picked dresses for my sister, the Maid of Honor, and my other bridesmaids to wear. That is a big relief considering dresses take so long to come in these days. The next thing on the list is to register and figure out the plans for our honeymoon.
On another note, I feel like I am finally settling into my new position at work but every day brings about new challenges that push me to be better. The days are beginning to go by much quicker as well since we are becoming more and more busy at work. That is definitely a good thing considering I work nine hour days now.
Reality TV is getting a little better for me. "American Idol" finally picked up with the last show (the Rolling Stones Edition). I was very impressed with how every contestant performed for once. Reality TV will hit it's peak for me though on March 22nd with the premier of "Dancing with the Stars." I can't wait!

Reality TV!!!!!
Alright...I have been very disappointed with reality TV here lately so here is my vent! To begin, I vow from this point on to never, ever, eveeeeerrrrrr watch the "Bachelor" again. For those of you who enjoy the show I am sorry for what I am about to say.
Everyone who watched the show from the very beginning, could very well figure out that the only reason Fly Boy kept "V" around was because he felt sorry for her and what she was having to deal with concerning all of the other women. Since when did a majority not know what they are talking about? Hello Fly Boy...the other women probably knew what they were talking about! I knew there was a reason I stopped watching the show after a few seasons.
To continue, what is up with "American Idol" this season? Where did all the people that could really sing and perform go? I guess I just don't understand the whole nerves excuse. Yes, I get that they are on national TV but what about when they were performing in front of over 200 people at the beginning of Hollywood week? They all sounded great then. I wouldn't think that having a camera pointed in your direction would make that big of a difference but...maybe I am wrong.
In conclusion, I plan to continue to watch "American Idol" in hopes that the performances will improve. As far as the "Bachelor" goes...you can count me out!

Change...
I think change gets a bad rep in today's society. I am beginning to think that change is good. Over the past couple of months, change has brought nothing but good into my life. I changed from having a boyfriend, to having a fiance. That is a good change. I went from having a part-time job to a full-time, better paid job. That is definitely a good change.
There are many more changes to come in my future and instead of dreading them and being somewhat anxious and up tight about them, I am learning to embrace them. I am taking one bend of the road at a time and learning with every step of the way.

Traditions
I have been neglecting my blog here lately because a lot of change has been going on in my daily routine. I am now working different hours, Monday through Friday, and those hours make it more difficult to find the time to type out my thoughts. But...here I am again.
This weekend, my roommate's boyfriend is visiting and we are having so much fun. Since my roommate and I have lived together, we have had a tradition of having "Family Breakfast" on Saturday mornings. This morning was no different. We just finished cleaning up the kitchen after a wonderful feast of eggs, hash browns and bacon.
Traditions like this are my favorite things in life. I really enjoy making memories on Saturday mornings while I am still in this stage of my life. In ten months, I will no longer be a single girl living in an apartment with a roommate. I will then be a married woman, living with my husband...CRAZY to think about. I can't wait for those days to come, but I am going to cherish every memory that I can make right now.

Details...
Man...who ever knew all the details that go into wedding planning? Well I sure had no idea how extensive all of the planning is but I am slowly starting to figure it out. There are sooooo many things that have to be taken into consideration. Flowers, decorations, cakes, party favors ect...SOOOO MUCH STUFF! Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying every minute of it but what I have discovered is that what I see in my mind's eye isn't coming out of my mouth the way I need or want it to. Oh Lord give me strength and patience in this wedding madness.
The great thing about all my planning is that I have great family and friends to help me through every minute of it. I can't wait for all of my ideas to be played out on November 6th! The anticipation is going to kill me...stay tuned for more to come about the wedding planning!

Wedding planning...
Let the wedding planning continue...I am writing this from Southeast Arkansas, my hometown, where the wedding will be located. I am here, as you have probably already guessed by now, to start planning the wedding. I have done some preliminary things already but there is still a lot to be done.
Today the plans are to visit the hotel where all our guests will be staying, talk to the photographer, and visit with the florist. There are so many things to be done and so little time to do them. Since my hometown is five hours away from Springfield, MO, coming home to get wedding things done is not the easiest of tasks. The goal is to get as many things done this weekend as possible. Let the games begin!
