A year

Happy Friday All!

What a difference a year makes. This time last year, I was unsure about my future, lonely, and was just semi-unhappy with myself and my situation.

Well, now I have a great woman, who makes me feel not-lonely, still unsure about the future, but happy I get to take the journey with someone I actually love. I'm happy to a point. There are things I want to do with my life still, but I know which direction I would like to go in.

That's enough of the mushy stuff, here's the outlook for my weekend:

Friday- Crossfit at 5. Then I have a little girls soccer game to attend. Who would ever have thought I was going to be the soccer dad type? Then back to the house to take apart some stuff, and get boxes ready for tomorrow.

Saturday- Heading up to my brothers house to see my nephew, brother, and his wife. We are going out to lunch for some pizza... I miss pizza. It should be its own food group.

Sunday- Busy day. We have a BBQ tasting for the wedding around 1pm, then we have to go and check out the Middletown Fire Halls' event center. I also have to work in the Daytona 500, and cleaning.... Like I said, its going to be busy.

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Stress!!!

What the Hell is wrong with me???

Happy Thursday all! Well, to you all I hope its happy, but to me, I have issues..

Lets start with me stressing about every little thing. I mean seriously, I'm flipping out. I used to be happy-go-lucky, but now I stress.

Work is fine, but I feel the drive is going to kill me. Which in turn, puts me in a bad mood for the rest of the day. Then I have to turn around and do it again. Which puts me in an even worse mood for when I get home.

This wedding planning stuff is stressing me out. My problem is, I know I don't care that much about the when and where. This is her wedding. I want to give her everything she wants. However, the money thing drives me nuts. I get mad at little things, and this should be the happiest time of my life right????

I need a new house. Mine is falling apart around me. I have things to fix in it, but I'm not sure of the price or time it will take.

However, even though I had a bad stressful day yesterday, she brought me bacon.... Maybe she does love me?

Well, have a great day everyone! I have a million things to do today, so its time to get started... 

Off the Deep End

Happy Hump Day All!

Well, I may have gone off the deep end on this one. I am trying to get my wedding reception at Camp David in Thurmont, Md. Yes, this is the presidential retreat. No, I'm not the president...

See where this could be a little bit of a problem? Some may say I'm crazy. You may be right. Oh, well. If you don't try it will never happen, will it?

So what I did at first was send an e-mail to the White House. I don't think that will even be seen. So I started a petition....

If I get 100,000 signatures, They have to look at it. So, If I can ask a favor and get everyone to sign this and share it with everyone you know. that would be awesome!!!

Well, that's all I have for today! Have a great one all!

Welcome Back

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”
― Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever

 

 

Well, Welcome back me.... Its been a while, but I needed time off. Between work, the gym, and the woman, who has time to put their thoughts on paper? Well, I am going to go back to writing every day, and watching that nobody every reads this thing anyways. Maybe I'll get surprised, but in the end, it doesn't matter. I am here, getting my thoughts on paper, freeing my mind, and not giving a care about anything other than whats going on in my life.

 

For those that don't know, I proposed to my girlfriend a week ago today. After screwing with her head about a ring she loved (I even had her call the shop after I had already bought it, and she found out someone had bought it), I did it while she was cooking dinner. Now, some people will complain that I didn't do it right.... Well guess what? She said yes, and when the hell has anyone ever known me to do anything traditionally?

 

I never thought I would get married again. Well, I guess, things happen. Its the right person, the right time, and I couldn't ask for anything more. For those that don't know, I got to beautiful ladies for the price of one, so to say. She has a beautiful little daughter that I love spending time with. Things couldn't have worked out better.

 

That all being said, This planning out a wedding thing is rough. In what I thought was going to be the most fun we had, we constantly fight. I would say that its time for us to put the boxing gloves on and have it out, but who am I kidding? She would simply kick my ass, and I really don't need the embarrassment. Whenever I think we have something settled, It changes. She's stubborn, I'm stubborn, this is going to be a long 16 months.

 

We are having to pay for everything ourselves, so we are trying to budget out a wedding for 300 people. We both have fairly large families, and how do you cut family? Sorry if some people don't get invited, but feel free to send money and gifts before hand, I can use it. Lol...

 

The wedding date is tentatively set for June 13, 2015. There's time there, but I still need to get an annulment from my first marriage, which includes Catholic classes and a whole bunch of other stuff... Should be fun... Right?

 

This shit scares the hell out of me. I want to make everything perfect for her. Maybe I try to hard? I don't even know everything we need for a wedding. Last time, It was fly to Vegas, and show up at the Venue. I didn't have to do all of this Engagement Party, Church, Caterer, Reception Hall, Favors, Music, Cake, etc, etc, etc.... This is not cool.... I tend to flip out slightly, its overwhelming...

 

OK, Deeeeeeeeepppppp Breathe.....

 

Well, that's all for today! See you all tomorrow! I hope you have a great one! Pray for me!!!
