Lindsey & Kevin {September 15th 2007}

[ladymelissa]

Oh you poor girl! I am cringing just reading that. You are in my thoughts.

[hummingbird521]

I had a IUD once years ago, right after my first marriage. I remember the pain well. My body was also rejecting it too. They told me this was normal and would last for several weeks. Unfortunatly for me it eventually caused me to hemmorage and I had to have emergency surgery. But the one they used on me has since been recalled and I am sure now they are quite different. As this was 20 some odd years ago. Take care of yourself. I hope I didn't scare you this was not my intention. I just wanted you to understand that I have been there and know what it is like.

[BriansBride07]

OMG!! I'm so sorry your going through this. I have heard of others getting IUD's and never having any complications so sorry your body is rejecting this. And on top of that the braces to hold up your uterius (sp) do you have a tilted uteris? is that the reason for the braces. I wish you all the best.

[kevinsbride2B]

I have a few conditions actually. My uterus is slowly dying actually so they needed to hold it up. Anf yes on top of it it's tilted aswell. Just add it to my list of compliations.
One of my biggest problems is that I too hemmerage, and am constantly in the hospital with this. I don't mean to gross anyone out or what not but the amount of times I've woken up in hospital because i was swimming in my own blood I can't tally it all. Late September early October I'm getting prego and then I can go from there, a I don't have a lot of time left on my young clock.

So sorry to hear this, its just horrible.. YOu getting prego shortly after you marry Kevin??? Confused here lol sorry i'm dingy. Are you trying,invetro??? No you don't have alot of time left with all the prob. you are having poor girl I hope it gets better for you and your body quites trying to reject everything that is there to try and make you better.

[Kacie_bride]

You poor thing! I hope it gets better!

[Jopet]

Awww hun I wish I was there to give you a big hug!!! I am sorry you are going through all of this but like you said you are tough!!! You will be in my thoughts. And we WILL be pregnant together this time next year :).

[kevinsbride2B]

Awww hun I wish I was there to give you a big hug!!! I am sorry you are going through all of this but like you said you are tough!!! You will be in my thoughts. And we WILL be pregnant together this time next year :).
You got it babe! We're gonna be prego buddies!!!! For anyone else reading this, this was pre decided a while ago lol.

[kevinsbride2B]

Last night KEv and I were gettin ginto bed and just laying there with the TV on and I just looke dta him. I don't know if this happens to anyone else but sometimes I just this warm fuzzy feeling come all over me and I think "Wow, he's actually mine! and he loves me like I love him!" I know it's suppose to be an obvious, but I just can't let it go sometimes.
So I just roll over and squeeze his arm, and he in turn kisses me on my forehead. It's so natural.
I've just never had anyoen in my life like this before and I'm so proud and excited. Plus another obvious, it hits me sometimes that "I'm marrying this man! He actually wants to spend the rest of his life with me!!!"
It just feels so good, and calming. It's the best feeling in the worls, as I'm sure all of you know.

[BriansBride07]

LOVE it is great isn't it. I just love it to.

[kevinsbride2B]

So Jamie comes this weekend for the first time since Kev and I have moved in together. She's used to a 1 bedroom apartment at Kev's old place where she had her Dora bed set up at one side of the room and KEvin's bed at the otehr side. So this is goign to be a big ajustment for her as she will now have her new room.
I think one of the biggest problems we're going to face is trying to keep her in her own room, and this is important because I am still healing and I can't have a 4 year old in bed with me. The smallest little polk or kick while sleeping can put me into a lot of trouble. I just hope that Kev has realized this too.
We're going to be out and about this weekend. I'll be doing more of the sitting job then anything as I still feel like poop, but it's my aunts Christmas open hosue on Saturday and it's the first tiem a lot of family friends will see the 3 of us together, and for some the first time since our engagment. I just realy wish I was feeling better for this. They live just north of Toronto in a beautiful woodland area. It's a beautiful walk, and with the weather we've been having up here it would be perfect for a walk.
So this weekends gonna be the first of many, I just hope it goes smoothly! Keeping my ingers crossed.

[BriansBride07]

Yah! how exciting. Just like a real family, congrats. I hope you are feeling better this weekend so you can enjoy it to the fullest. But remember don't push it to much we don't need you back in the hospital. I wish you all the best.

[kevinsbride2B]

Thanks Christina! It's gonna be abusy weekend. But hopfully a good one at that!

[kevinsbride2B]

So our first weekend as a little micro family has passed us and it went a lot better then I had expected. Jamie had absolutly no problem sleeping on her own. Sunday morning we woke up with ehr across our feet, but that's also because we slept in and she woke up and got bored. We have to put away the converters at night otherwise she sneaks on "treehouse" or another kids channela dn stays up to watch her shows.
She has a lot of interest right now about Kev and my names. She for some rason thinks that whe you get older your first name changes. This whole wedding this with me changing my last name has fully confused her. Her explinations are priceless though lol.
I am still totally loving living with Kev. It's tuly the best feeling to fall asleep with him at nigth and the next morning he's right there beside me. I don't think I'll ever get sick of this. Well maybe if I am sick and I just want my whole bed to myself lol I doubt it though!

[hummingbird521]

Glad it all went well with Jamie. And as you said you might get tired of Kevin sharing your bed when sick. haha. just kidding.

[lize566]

I'm so glad everything went well with Jamie! That must be a big relief and hopefully you are feeling a little bit better.

[Valmai]

Glad ur weekend went well and that ur still on the medn there! We worry bout kids and they tend to adjust to change wonderfully lol Wish we could do it so well! xxx

[kevinsbride2B]

Well we get Jamie back on boxing day afternoon (Dec 26th) and we want to have a Christmas morning with her as opposed to her coming over and us giving her a million gifts so Dec 27th will be our morning. Although we're gonna have to wake up early cause I gotta be at work by 10am.
I just spend the last forever wrapping gifts for everyone.
This is Kev got spoiled. I do a lot of my shopping a few months leading up to Christmas so I don't blow a ton of money all at once. This year Kev's getting... A new watch (very sexy might I add lol), a sweater, 2 t-shirts (he loves the t-shirts with off beat comments), SNL's greatest hits, taladega nights on DVD, a tanning gift certificate ( he has horrible soriasis and tanning helps it) and I truthfully can't remember the rest cause it's all wrapped up already lol.
As for Jamie, lets just say she got toys r us this year lol. When we find something on sale I just grabbed it throughout the year so now she has a stash in my closet and I'm running out of room.

[BriansBride07]

Congrats, I'm glad that your weekend went so well. I hope you are on the road to recovery this time and no more set backs. We need our Lindsey up and well. HEHE. Yeah on finding some great deals for KEvin and Jamie./

[lea m]

I do a lot of my shopping a few months leading up to Christmas so I don't blow a ton of money all at once. When we find something on sale I just grabbed it throughout the year so now she has a stash in my closet and I'm running out of room.

Thats what i do!! Joe and the kids end up with loads of stuff !!! hee hee My cupboard under the stairs is heaving! Things fall out on me when i open the door!!

[kevinsbride2B]

Things are just a pain in the butt right now cause I'm out of bed yet I can't do the things I want to do. and when I do say do laundry or the dishes, I hurt myself.
I absolutly LOVE to wrap presents so that's kepy me pretty busy. This morning I had mine, Kevin's presents to others and my Mom's gifts to others all sitting infront of me. 2 hours later they were all wrapped.
The past month has been really hard on me and even harder for my family and loved ones who have had to take care of me and even more so worry about me. So I love to give gifts more than to recieve. Don't get me wrong I'd be "upset"(lol) if I didn't get anything after spending all this cash on everyone else, but having people open a present from me and knowing that they like it and that they're excited is my favorite part.
Christmas has always been my time to decorate and go nuts around the hosue and this year it just wasn't possible and that's really hard. But as Kev reminds me of over and over and over and over and over again my health is more important. Bah Humbug!

[kevinsbride2B]

Well beteen now and boxing day we have a little girls bedroom to have painted and all the trimmings done.
Out of all the colours Jamie wants a pink and green room. We figured with all the changes going on in her life it would be a good idea to let her design her own room. We're talking peptobismol pink and celery green. I stepped in and said celery green, I couldn't handle neon green.
When Jamie gets back on boxing day this will be a big suprise for her. She's gonna be so excited about her new room.
On the other hand what was my beautifully elegant Japenese bedroom has now turned into Kev's place lol. Matching is no longer a must, it's a good thing I love that boy the way I do I swear!!!!!!!! I went to go to bed last night and there were caution signs al over the walls. That needed to be changed ASAP lol. We have about 5 feet of one left, that's what we negotiated.
So far the living arangments are going along fabulously. I'm sure there will be bumps along the way but everything will be ab fab. It's just so nice having such kick a$$ communication with someone. Totally the key man I swear!

[winter_wonderland]

Everything sounds lovely :) The dress is beautiful cya around

[ladymelissa]

I am glad you are adjusting to living together well. Maybe there is a room that Kevin can have to himself somewhere so he can use his sense of style, maybe an office type room or convert some of the basement into a bar or recreation room for him.

You'll have to post pics of the pink and green room, it will probably come out great!

I would LOVE TO! However, we're completly out of rooms. As it is, Jamie's room will only be her room when she's here. Aside from that it's got Kev's computer and a bunch of my psych texts, one of my dressers, and a bunch of other stuff. We'll hopefully be moving to something bigger in the summer, so that'll help LOADS!
You ladies will deffinetly get some pics lol. I love painting pics lol.

[BriansBride07]

Jamie's room sounds like it's going to be very cute. I like green and pink that is the phase my daughter is in. ARGH she keeps changing her mind thank god we don't paint also. So glad to hear that you are getting there on your road to recovery. Bed rest is gone and soon you will be able to do the laundry and or dishes and not hurt yourself. ( you will prob. secretly wish you could just sit and watch some days) lol. Keep up the recovery progress and I wish you all the best.

[kevinsbride2B]

I've decided that I really want 2 seperate themes. 1 for the ceremony and the other for the reception.
Don't get me wrong they won't be completly different, but I just wanted a more romantic elegant ceremony and a more fun yet still pretty reception.
I've been looking througha bunch of books and stuff and I've really been drawn to "An affair to remember theme". It's just very classy and elegant. Otherwise I'd have Mickey and Minnie walking me down the aisle lol.
It's just that there is alrady a beautiful water fall beside us, the room will be filled with candles and flowers. I just think it'll fit nicely. Plus we're going to be hanging twinkle lights on all the trees in the ceremony area. As I mentioned before it is a very pretty celarium with about an 80 foot ceiling.
I just thought it was a nice idea.

[BriansBride07]

gREAT IDEAS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL BE PERFECT.

[NicksBride]

oh that sounds so pretty and perfect!! Can't wait to see pictures of Jaimes room, I am sure it will turn out great!

[ladymelissa]

That sounds so beautiful!

[Kacie_bride]

That sounds great!!!!!

[kevinsbride2B]

That sounds great!!!!!
Thanks Kacie, I'm ona mission, Christmas is almost over and I have told myself that after the holiday's I'm gonna get busy with all the wedding stuff. Time's ticking!!! It'll be here before I know it, just like you miss 10 days :)

[kevinsbride2B]

After being engaged since June, Kevin as finally picked the last 2 ushers. I feel so much better!!! I know it's not a HUGE deal but it means that I feel more organized and stuff.
The funniest part is who he chose. He chose my boss lol. If he was like a real boss to me I'd be like no way! BHut he's not, he really is a very close friend to me. We're the only 2 people at work o the higher end of the totem pole for the day treatment I work at so it's so often just the 2 of us. So I think it's a great idea for Uri to be a part of the wedding.
Our second usher is one of my best friends husbands. Kev was on again off again about asking him. I don't know why though, it has nothi8ng to do with Kevin now liking him or vise versa. I swear guys can be so much more complicated then females it kills me lol.
So we now have a comple wedding party! But the only things is, Kevin has yet to ask them, but I guess I should just be thankful we finally know who's going to be in our wedding party lol.

[winter_wonderland]

Well thats great! Glad you feel more organized and stuff :) And yes men can be fairly complicated hahaha.. Ben wasnt sure who he wanted for his ushers either I think he is just going to use his brothers and his dad. A little different but fine by me lol. Good luck with the planning :)

[mariaandmanish]

Congrats, Lindsey on Kevin finally choosing his ushers! THat's great that you have one more thing crossed off the list, and can really start the rest of the planning soon. I hope he asks them soon, so you can cross that off too!

I hope that you're still feeling well, and not overdoing it at all!

[WhiskeyGirl]

It really is a good feeling to get all them men picked! I remember when one of our GM dropped out because he was going to the RCMP college in Regina. We were like Ummm now what?! Lol. Thankfully Matt's brother had no problem being our GM and we were good to go. BUt I remember the feeling of not knowing all too well!! Good luck with wedding mode after Christmas, you can do it Martha!! :wink: Take care Hun!! Talk to you soon!

[Kacie_bride]

That's great that you now have a full wedding party. It took Justin a long time to pick his all out too. I think he finally had them all picked out near October-right before we ordered the tuxes!

[kevinsbride2B]

Well I've been holding the fact that I wanna have a bridal party "mingle" in maybe February. We never did anything big for our engagment or what not. So we decided that in the new year we would have a little get together with the bridal party maybe at a restaurant or something. Very low key but give everyone the opertunity to meet one another and so on.
I personally hate being a part of a wedding and knowing next to knowone or absolutly knowone in the wedding party that I'm with. These people need to spend a few days together and I want them to feel comfortable.
I was just my idea. Kev says he's going to ask Joe on New years. I asked him what the big deal was. The hard parts done. He already got down on one knee, he doesn't have to do that for these 2 men lol

[nic1124]

I think thats a good idea. Half of my paryt wont know eachother either if I dont introduce them beforehand.

[kevinsbride2B]

So we had a great Christmas!!!!
Christmas eve Kevin and I spent together just the 2 of us. We made a big lasagne and sat and just had a ball together playing on the NORAD website tracking him all over the world.
Christmas mornign Kevin woke me up at 5:30am!!!!!!!!!! He apparently is a little freak Christmas morning and wanted to get up and wish the world a very merry Christmas. I tried to go back to bed but it was no use!
My Grandparents joined us in the morning for breakfast and to open our presents and we went back to their place for dinenr allow with the rest of my family.
The trouble came for me around 1pm when i was carrying up my presents from teh livingroom up the stairs. I got a horrible cramp in my stomoch (uterus actually) and I fell back down the stairs landing right on my abdomen. That didn't really help matters with the healing process, and I had to make a quick trip to the ER as I began to hemmerage.
I'm incredably sore today, but I won't let that take away from such a great Christmas!!!!
Here's a bunch of pics from out Christmas day...

This is our Christmas tree just before my Grandparents arrived.

PS..... I felt so unbelivable like poop when these pics we're being taken. Tears inbetween the takes lol. But I give myself credit that had you not known how I felt no way could you see it with my fake smile!

[WhiskeyGirl]

Awwww your dog is so cute!!

And you and Kev look so sweet together!!

I'm sorry that you ended up rushing to the ER, that must have been terriably scary!! You take it easy hun!! I worry about you!

Glad you had a good Christmas other wise!! Take care Honey!

[WhiskeyGirl]

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT1389.jpg

You have such beautiful eyes!! And you're right, I can't tell you were in a lot of pain!! I'm sorry that you were. I really hope you are feeling better very soon!!

[Kacie_bride]

I agree with Shawna!!! You do have such beautiful eyes!!!! I'm sorry you weren't feeling well, but you could never tell by looking at those pictures. You looked like you had a nice Christmas! Thanks for sharing!

[hummingbird521]

Very nice pics Lindsey and you would never know you felt bad. Sorry to hear you had to be taken to the ER. I hope soon you are feeling better.

[BriansBride07]

Great pic's you fooled me that you felt like poop... I hope you feel better soon take care of yourself.. We need our Lindsey back feeling chipper again.

[NicksBride]

well you looked gorgeous, and I agree with the ladies lovely eyes! I am sorry to hear about your christmas ER trip, I hope you are feeling a bit better. You and Kevin make such a sweet couple as well. Your dog is HUGEEE! hahaha
Glad to hear at least it was a good christmas besides from a few set backs. Now its WEDDING PLANNING TIME. :)

[ladymelissa]

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT1389.jpg

You looked lovely, I am sorry you were in so much pain, I hope you get better soon! It looks like the couple behind you is getting a little frisky before dinner! :bblol:

Your tree came out wonderfully!

[kevinsbride2B]

So I'm about to head up to Kevin's parents place for the weekend. this is our "Christmas" with them as we couldn't make it to see them last weekend with Jamie.
I've decided to sit down with Kevin's mom and talk to her about the wedding and really everything. Those of you who have ready my journal and previous posts know that there is issues with us. Kev's parents just don't overly wanna accept me. And I'm not sure why. But This weekend I'm going to sit down with his Mom and talk to her about it ALL! She can choose not to listen and so on, but the fact is that I'll be able to say "I tried!" Nothing to loose that's forsure.
I may make an attempt to print off some of the pics (ie cake topper and so on, so they can see that i'm serious!)

I probably won't get a chance to say this when I get back as we'll be on spin cycle and rushing around the house so HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2007 is goign to be great!!!

Talk to you all when I get back!

[lize566]

Happy new year to you too and ITA that 2007 is going to be a fantastic year!!! I really hope the chat with Kevin's mom goes well! Hopefully they will accept you, maybe even welcome you into the family. I'm sending good thoughts your way that it all goes well! Have a safe and fun trip!

[kevinsbride2B]

Thanks sweety!!!! I need all the happy thoughts I can get! I get so nervous when I get there that I actually start to hyperventalate a little. I don't understand why. They may be mean, but there not going to eat me for breakfast!!! I already went to the LCBO (liquor store) and picked up a big bottle of appletini. lol Last time I was up there with my Mom and Kev, Kev's dad took us on a boat ride through the lakes. Well Kevin and I had been drinking that aftrnoon before we went (we weren't driving the boat I promise) and I called his Dad "Anal Retentive" lol. I can't remember the whole senerio buit I can't belive I said it lol. He laughed that time, although I still try to be careful lol. Of all the things to say to somebody and it has to be my future father inlaw. Oh man!!!!!

[lize566]

LOL that's too funny! I can understand though, I would get nervous knowing these people who are going to be family pretty soon don't really like me. I think you will do fine, though. At the very least they should respect you enough to not act the way they have acted. But, yeah, I think it might be a good idea to watch what is said, at least for a while lol! I think you will do great...just make sure you say everything you want to say-I do that a lot when confronting someone or having an important conversation when I am a little nervous. I will have the conversation, then an hour later be like "man I meant to say..." KWIM? Its def. not fun to have to have another conversation!

[NicksBride]

haha to funny. I am always sooo nervous talking to Nicks mother I wish I could get a big bottle from the liquor store. I get sweaty and scared. hahaha. I hope you have a nice trip!

[BriansBride07]

Happy New Year to you to... I hope your trip goes well with your SOon to be Inlaws and you get alot off your chest.

[kevinsbride2B]

It's officially 2007 and I get married September of THIS year!!! OH MAN!!!!! It all hit me at midnight, but totally in a great way!!! I'll get into the weekend at a later time, but right now I wanna show off our New Years pics...
We spent New Years eve at our friends place. The 4 of us had a Mexican fiesta with the sumbrero's, taco's, guacamole, Spanish music and who could forget the tequilla!!!

All and all it was a great NEw Years celebration. It's going to be a BUSY year, but it's a busy that I'm too excited for words about!

[hummingbird521]

Lindsey the pictures are great. You both look so happy and you are a very pretty girl. I love the sombero's too.

[WhiskeyGirl]

Lindsey the pictures are great. You both look so happy and you are a very pretty girl. I love the sombero's too.

I agree!! Looks like a great time!!

[Jacklynn]

looks like you had a great new years! The mexican theme was cute. ITA about thinking WOW its 2007, this is the year I get married!!!! Yay for 2007 Brides :) and of course congrats to the 2006 brides ;)

[lea m]

Oh you look so good together!! looks like you had a great time!! lol

[NicksBride]

I agree with teh other girls that those are very cute pictures. Looks like you had a nice time, what a great theme!!

[kevinsbride2B]

Thank you so much ladies!!!!!!!!!! We did have a great night, both of us REALLY needed it as it has been a really tough couple of months, and it was a night that I really wasn't in too much pain, but I did however wake up New Years day and my little tummy was very sore (not from a hangover lol).

2007 is going to be a BUSY year, but like I said it's the kind of busy that I'll only get to do once, and I'm gonna take advantage of that greatly!

[BriansBride07]

glad to hear you had a wonderful new year's the pic's are great thanks for sharing.

[kevinsbride2B]

So Sunday I was originally suppose to be goign to a wedding show with my BM's and MOH. But then one of my BM's brought to my attention that I already have most of the big stuff booked for the wedding so why spend the admission cost and go and look at stuff that we already have?!
Instead we'll finally have all the girls together so we're going to go and look at some BM's dresses. It'll be fun, it's the first time that we've all been together and for some a re-aquainting as some of my BP hasn't seen eachother in years. I'm really looking forward to the afternoon with my ladies. It's going to be a moment of "I'm getting married!!!" lol I get them all the time lol.
Hopefully they will agree on a style, although thus far they've been pretty good, and we have the general idea of what we like and the Alfred Angelo dress that I posted previously for them to try on.
I'll let you all know what happends!

[brewsells]

That sounds like a ton of fun! I loved getting together with my girls doing wedding stuff.

[Jacklynn]

BM shopping was a ton of fun! I got lucky and all my girls loved the dress and looked good in the dress that I fell in love with :) You will have a blast

[kevinsbride2B]

Ya, one thing I can guarantee for my wedding is that my entire wedding party is a RIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There all hillarious in there own little way.
I know I'll have maybe 2 sitting there being shy about giving their opinion, but I know it won't take long for the other girls to crack them out of that shell.
I told them regardles we have to have a "fashion show". There all goign to find the TACKIEST dress in the whole store and they all need to find one and try it on lol. I think this will ease the nerves about not knowing everyone.
Then by the time I have my little BP mingle next month it'll be easy going and everyone can have fun.

[Valmai]

Sounds great hope u all have a good day and enjoy it, God help those poor staff at the shops tho lol Love ur new years pics its a great feeling entering the year we get wed innit! xxx

[NicksBride]

Sounds like you guys are going to have a great time. I wanna see pictures!!

[kevinsbride2B]

I'll try to take pics. I know that the stores can be a bit grouchy about taking pics in their store. Which I understand with BM's dresses. But I'll just sneak into the rooms and try to take pics lol.

[BriansBride07]

I hope it all goes well. Yes sneak in a tiny camera with each girl and have them snap the pic. using the mirror. LOL that should work.

[Jacklynn]

yeah I agree pictures are a MUST HAVE :) I don't see why stores don't let you take pictures, IMO I think it would lower their sales, because like my girls tried on a few different dresses, and I know I tried on tons, I would have never remembered some and been able to make a decision if I couldn't have taken pictures lol

[kevinsbride2B]

So I took the girlies out yesterday for their dresses. We tried the inital one that we found abut there was just something missing in it. So as disapointed as I was I talked to the shop owner and she brought in moer of the same style. They tried this one particular one on and it was STUNNING!!!!!!!!! I was extatic and as the 3 girls tried it on so were they. They was absolutly no question about it what so ever. Plus we got it for $125 each so I was very happy about that. I really didn't want my girls having to pay over $200. There all in diferent circumstances... Ange (BM) just got married and bought a house, therefore $0 cash available, Kiersten (BM) is 17 about to go to university next year in the US, and my MOH is really the only one that could afford things, but now she's having some issues in her living arangments. So all in all I was extatic about them finding something within a good price range.
This pic isn't the right colourm, it's a lot lighter of a pink. The first thing I checked was hwo this pink looked with white. It is a VERY light pink so I didn't want us all matching lol. But it looks fabulous with white and still stands out so we're not all wearign the same colour.

[kevinsbride2B]

We obviously couldn't try on the colour we ordered, cause that would eb too easy, but here are my lil' ladies trying on the dress yesterday. They shop owner actually let us take pics lol.
This is my cousin trying it. She had a lot of pics taken, thus the "happy" expression on her face lol...
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0063.jpg
This is my MOH trying hers on. She didn't know what to do with her hands so one of my BM's through this at her lol...
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0068.jpg

[Jopet]

Ohhhhh I love that even more then the other dress!! you and your gals are gunna look HOT HOT HOT!!!

[kevinsbride2B]

Thanks Sweety! I'm soooooo excited. We literally tried ona handful of dresses that's it. Plus for one of my BM's this was the only one she tried lol. Lucky I tell you! Very lucky!

[BriansBride07]

Great prices you found on the gorgous dresses. They are going to look great. I'm glad that the bridal shop allowed you to take some pics.

[kevinsbride2B]

It was a fun day, although...
I had a BM who was MIA (missing in action). I've been trying to call her for the past week since we decided to go and get our dresses but no answer. I've known this girl for about 20 years so I finally got fed up and called her Mom. She just moved back to town and is staying there for the time being. Her mom said she had been sick but didn't think she came home the night before. I understand being sick, but you can't pick up the phone? and how sick are you really if you can go our for the night? I wasn't impressed. As a matter of fact I'm still not!
I sent ehr an e-mail last night, a very ncie e-mail. I figure If I'm a B!tch she won't call me back, but maybe if I'm super ncie she will. When I talked to the dress place they said I have to have them ordered by next week so that they can arrive from wherever they are a month before the wedding. I let my Missing BM know this too. She's always got her msn on at work so I'm gonna keep it on all day to try and track her down, unless she's blocked me lol.
I was upset about it all day yesterday, but my BM's ha da good point... This is only the begining of the stress and if I buckle because of her it'll be a long and stressful road to the wedding.

[BriansBride07]

Argh! I hate the BP drama that is coming from planning a wedding. SOmetimes I think it is worse then planning the wedding. lOL I hope that your MIA BM contacts you and your not in a scramble on finding someone to replace her or just deal with one less BM at the last min. I kinda ran into the same problem we couldn't order the dresses until everyone paid the dp. so I had to pay for one of my BM's dp. so the dresses would be ordered. I hope it all works out in the end for you, and I completly agree with you if she was so sick to ans. the phone then why did she go out and do whatever and not return home. This is an ex. of things that make you go HMMMMMM lol

[Jopet]

Oh bummer this chick can't be bothered answering her phone to even give you an excuse if she didn't want to go!!! Why is it that people we think should be happy for us act this way??? My friend who is a BM just ignores all wedding talk it's like gee can't you even pretend to be happy for me? But it's just her being jealous :icon_barbar: time to get over it me thinks!!

[hummingbird521]

I love the new BM dresses. They are simply gorgeous. Wonderful choice

[kevinsbride2B]

I love the new BM dresses. They are simply gorgeous. Wonderful choice

Thanks!!!!!! I can't dany it, I am unbelivably excited about them, and the fact that they all picked the same one without any issues at all. Plus I fell in love with them as soon as they put them on lol.

[kevinsbride2B]

Saturday Kevin and I went out to see my biological father and his family. Let me give you a lil bit of a history lesson on why this isn't an everyday thing...
My bio dad (as we'll call him) was married to my Mom, they had me and unfortunatly he was a raging alcoholic and incredably abusive to the both of us. By the time I was 4 my Mom had picked up and taken off with me to a woman's shelter until it was safe for us to move into my Grandparents. And then a few years after that my mom fought unsuccessfully a few times but eventually had him knocked right out of my life. A very long struggle I must add.
He too moved on with his life, and had 2 sons when he remarried and so on. I will never see him as a father figure or anything like that, but I do obviously realize where I come from and with my health issues I also see it as important to get to know that families history.
So I bit the bullet and Kev and I drove out to his house on Saturday. H has been through all sorts of programs and I can't deny that he is a good father to my brothers, he just wasn't to me.
So before I get married I think it's important for Kevin to meet that side of the family and I'm an adult now and he can't hurt me anymore and I think it's also important to me to let him know that. Kind of a mini breakthrough of sorts.
But Saturday was a GREAT visit. I was shaking in my boots the whole way up not knowing what to expect from them. I talk to my half brothers via msn all the time but that's as far as the relationship goes. But seeing someone in person is always that much scarier.
But we stayed for a few hours, talked about stuff, laughed about memories and so on.
It's another tick off of my wedding list of sort i guess.
But here is a pic of my little distant family...
from the left: Mark, Me, My Dad, and Brodie
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0056.jpg

[BriansBride07]

I am so happy for you that you are able after all these years to go and have a relationship if only a small one with your father. I hope it continues through the years even though he wasn't there for you as a child. I hope he makes up for it in your adult life.

[lize566]

I'm glad everything went well with your dad...how did things go with Kevin's family over New Years? I remember you saying you were going to talk to his mom and was wondering how it went. If you have already posted about this somewhere, I apologize, but I looked and didn't find anything! I hope it went just as well as the day with your dad went!

Oh and I really like the BM dresses! They are so pretty!

[kevinsbride2B]

No mamn, your fully right I never wrote about Kevin's parents place over new years...
Well we got to Kevin's parents about 9pm, a long drive i might add!!! 4 hours!!!! Jamie was way unhappy the WHOLE drive up there. We stopped at A&W for dinner and we literaly pulled her off the floor in a tantrum. For no reason, she didn't want to get out of the car and silly us, we wouldn't let a 4 year old stay in the car alone while we went inside to eat. YA THINK?!
We got up there and the drive killed me with all the bumps and so on, so i was hurting by the time we arrived. We walked ina nd did presents with his parents. They got me some shower stuff and then we got the mega gift from them... A BREAD MAKER!!!!!!!!!!! from our registry. I've wanted one forever! I was extatic!
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0009.jpg
I went in with al the cards on the table. I sat with his Mom and explained everything to her that we have done thus far for the wedding. No holds anything this time!!! And I honestly think she appreciated it. What I do know is that I wasn't going to let her get away with saying anything that upset me without my rebuttle. And everytime she said soemthing I contradicted her. It actualy worked well lol.
I didn't get a chance to do as much as I can't just run around with everyone else, so I spent most of my time with Cooper lol. Btw, Copper is the dog lol.
He's a sweety, I took this of him at Saturday dinner...
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0014.jpg
We had a nice dinner on the Saturday night. But the best part is that we get up there and find out that KEvin's parents have planned an open hosue for the afternoon! But they forgot to tell us. So we spend time downstairs away from it all as we weren't dressed for it, nor did we know anyone.
This is our exhausted Saturday dinenr though. Jmaie enjoyed herself...
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0012.jpg

[BriansBride07]

LMAO you horrible soon to be step-mom why didn't you leave that poor baby in the car when that is where she wanted to stay. JK.....

Looks like you had a great time. Well except for the part about the open house. Glad to hear that you had a heart to heart with your FMIL. Great pic's btw. Jamie is so cute.

[hummingbird521]

That is wonderful news about seeing your dad and brothers again. While he may not have been a good parent to you in your childhood maybe now he will fill another role of sorts. It took a big person IMO for you to go and see him and get reaquainted with him. The pics of you together look really nice. I do see family resemblance in them.

I think it is great that you contradicted your FMIL if it was needed and glad to know it went well for you.

[lize566]

I'm glad everything went okay! Hoepfully at least now she will accept that you will part of Kevin's life.

[NicksBride]

THose bridesmaids dresses are simply stunning!!! I love them. :)

I am sorry about your bridesmaid, but your friend had a point let this slide and get upset about something else. :) I learned that along time ago and realized that it is very true, shei s not worth stressing over, she is a good friend of yours since you have known her for over 20 years, she will come together. If not, well let her know how disappointed you are, being a bridesmaid is a HUGE honor and sometimes girls do not understand that! Good luck sweetie, but know you guys are going to look amazing!!!!

[NicksBride]

ohhh a breadmaker, I am jealous! Yummmy!!!

[Kacie_bride]

I love the new BMs dresses! Your girls are going to look so great at your wedding!

[WhiskeyGirl]

Let me try and remember everything I read! lol

Very nice BM's dresses. They are very unique but VERY pretty!! Good call Hun!!

It's good that the meeting went so well with your father. I hope you can build upon the relationship and see where it goes, or if you choose to, just be content in knowing that your father can't hurt you anymore and you proved that!! :D

I love the pics of Jammie and Kevin...so cute!! What a beautiful child she is!!

How are you feeeling lately? I hope you are feeling better HuN!!

[kevinsbride2B]

How are you feeeling lately? I hope you are feeling better HuN!!
I have been soooooo up and down with how I'm feeling. One minute I feel great and wonderful, I turn the wrong way and I have tears squirting out of my eyes in pain. It's just like ahhhhhhhhhhh I'm so sick of this!
I have coem to realize that there is only certain things I can do without hurting myself, and I need to still really except that. I'm a home body do it yourself girl and I hate asking for help. Thus why it's one of my 07 resolutions lol.

[kevinsbride2B]

I have been working my little buns off trying to put together a tentative guest list. Obviously I can only do my side of the wedding cause I really only know a handful of Kevin's side. I know his parents, his sister and her family and that's really it.
So far for my side I have:
Bridal Party- 9
Family- 6
Guests- 56
Kids- 7
Photography- 2
DJ- 1

So my Grand total at 8 months before the wedding is... 75!!!!
But that doesn't include the 7 kids, because I highly doubt there going to want to eat what we're eating and the hall already said that we can bring food in with us if we want or so on.

[NicksBride]

What is your tenative amount that you are going to invite to your wedding???
I am sorry you are having a hard time with your pain, I really truly hope that soon you will start feeling like yourself!

[kevinsbride2B]

Well our guest amoutn all dependfs who you ask lol...
We were originally at 100. Then we found out that if we have under 100 show up we have to pay a $500 fee on top of it all. So we quickly decided on 120. That is what the amount was suppose to be, however now have my Mother and Grandmother inviting people which is driving me CRAZY!!! However, they have already said that they will pay the difference.
Kevin says he has about 40 to invite, as so many of his family members live over seas, and there is drama going on in his family which we're not sure how it will effect our guest list.
I know that there will be people not coming so that's making me feel better about the bill, not that I wouldn't want everyoen I love there on my day.
I have 4 girlfriends who I am very close with. None of them are married, and only 1 of them is ina serious relationship, however I don't know him overly well. They have all decided that to make things easier for me there all going to come stag. And depending on how many we have coming to the wedding we can decide if the men can come with them.
I'm so worried about leaving people out, but then again, I'm not inviting you because i was invited to your cousins, aunts, sons wedding in 1997 you know what I mean?

[Jacklynn]

I don't think I ever posted to tell you that I love love LOVE the bridesmaid dresses! good choice!

[kevinsbride2B]

I don't think I ever posted to tell you that I love love LOVE the bridesmaid dresses! good choice!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I'm just happy it's something else off of my list of to do's. After they foudn the dresses they were all raring to go to the mall and look for shoes. I told them they were CRAZY!!! Although we did go to the mall lol.
It was nice havign some of my BM's admitting that they were wrong about the pink. They all said that I was crazy for having them wear the pink. I think they had peptobisbol in their heads for the colour lol.

[Kacie_bride]

So if you don't have 100 people there you have to pay an extra $500 even if you gave them a 100 people head count and paid for 100 people?

[NicksBride]

That is how our hotel is, WE HAVE to have 100 people or we are not guarenteed the big ball room.. Kinda sucks. But believe me, you will find 100 people to invite, we had to start cutting people we didn't really know that well for the wedding.. its really hard.

[kevinsbride2B]

It's pretty crazy but ya, guaranteed 100 peopel that have to show up on the day of the wedding. It really won't eb a problem though. We've got probably 140-150 invited or who will be invited. And then those who don't show it's ok, plus if we need to extra peopel I have plenty that I didn't put into my list of guests simply because I'm not close enough to them.
Plus I have the boyfriends of my friends who aren't invited until I get a head count.
Such a pain in the bum!!! The seating will eb a whole otehr ball game that I'm NOT looking forward to one bit!!!

[Kacie_bride]

If you have 140-150 people you will be okay. If you have right at 100 rsvp saying they will come I would suggest inviting a few more though. There is always a chance that something could come up last minute. We had several people fall out because of a bad snow storm in New Mexico and a few others for other reasons (work, family illness etc).

[kevinsbride2B]

I hear you 100%!!!!! I was talking with my family and we feel safe at 120 people guaranteed. Obviously 140-150 people won't come, so I'm hoping to see the 120 though. It's just safer that way.

[ladymelissa]

The seating assignments are not fun! Just wait till you have people making requests. LOL

[kevinsbride2B]

The seating assignments are not fun! Just wait till you have people making requests. LOL
Well the one problem I'm goign to have is that I have 3 coupels that can't sit ANYWHERE near one another! My Dad, My Step Dad and my uncle. They are all being invited out of obligation. I havew warned everyone up and down and I may sound like a you knwo what, but I will not under any circumstances handle any arguing or issues with one another. Surely they can hold off for one day with taring eachothers heads off. If that's the case I've also warned they will be asked to leave.
It's just that I want to have an enjoyable day, and a big part of having an enjoyable wedding is knowing that my guests are happy and so on.

[kevinsbride2B]

So my dad was in town from Connecticut the other day and the 2 of us went for lunch. We don't see eachother all that often as A) He lives in the US and B) He skipped out on my Mom and I when I was starting High school. This is my step dad but because he legally adopted me I fully see him as my dad. Our relationship has had a major sprain in it since he left. For the past few years sicne he left there have just been some obvious issues.
So we started to talk about the wedding and so on. Then he brings up the fact that he's not going to stay long. Pretty much make an appearance and leave. I couldn't belive this, this is my father!!!!!!!! He says he doesn't want to put up with my family. Well rise and shine sunshine, these are the people that took care of me when you took off!!! Like I'm closer to uncle Bob from BC then I am to you!
Like don't get me wrong I knwo there are issues, however like I posted previously everyoen needs to just get along, or don't talk that that. Out of 140 people you won't "need" to talk with one another.
He knew how disapointed I was, however he says he doesn't want to put up with them. Well if he hadn't beent ehone to run out and leave my Mom and I high and dry there wouldn't be this issue.
And to top it off, he's invited my ex step Mom (his ex after my Mom, actually the one he laft my Mom for in the first place) and their adopted daughter. 2 more mouthes to feed that I don't have the cash for!!! And He turns to me the other day and says "I doubt they'll come now". It would have been nice to inform me of how they were doing maybe before I did my creative budgeting and guest list.
I would expect this froma distant relative, but my Dad? Come on!

[NicksBride]

I am sorry to hear your father being like that, it is not fair that parents act like that on the very important day of your life. But he must be feeling really uncomfortable and not really sure where he fits in the family. I am not making excuses I just know my dad is the same way, and I told him that as long as he was there to walk me down the aisle and dance with me then he can leave after that, I can't MAKE he want to be there. I hope that he comes around to wanting to be at your wedding, because I can understand that you really want him there.

[kevinsbride2B]

Oh ya sweety, I can fully understand why he wouldn't want to be there, as there is a LOT of people that dispise him!!!!! Although, I'm just hping that for one night he can put that aside, as I know my family will be too for my sake.
I will admit that he doesn't have a special role in my wedding and that could be another reason. He's not walking me down the aisle, nor are we goign to have a formal daddy daughter dance. Both of which I'm doing with my Mom. I personally think that it would be a BIG slap in the face if it wasn't her. She's been the one there for me for as long as I can remember, and we're still very close. When I told him this he wasn't suprised.

[Valmai]

OMG so much catching up to do with ur journal ive been so busy!! I love those bridesmaids dresses they are gorgeous!
Glad all went well with ur biological dad and your brothers in the pic u look very comfortable with each other. as hard as it is to do soemtiems these things are better sorted and give us a bit more headspace when done.
Shame about ur dad (stepdad) but if thats the way he wants to play it then sadly theres nothing can b done just try not to let it bother you or your mother!
Good luck with ur guest lists and u just keep on recovering there and take care of urself! xxx

[Jacklynn]

Sorry about your Step Dad, I hope everything works out okay, and that he sucks it up for you, if not like our Wales girl said :) try not to let it bother you.

[kevinsbride2B]

Sorry about your Step Dad, I hope everything works out okay, and that he sucks it up for you, if not like our Wales girl said :) try not to let it bother you.

There is one thing I keep telling myself over and over... I've lived without him for over 10 years and I've had no problem. If he wants to be that way I don't have a chocie, and I do have a lot of people who love me who will be there on my special day. That day will be way to special to let him ruin it. He's ruined enough of my happy days, and he WON'T ruin this one!!!!
Now just to fidn a way to get all my OW girls to my wedding lol.

[SerendipityCrafts]

Now just to fidn a way to get all my OW girls to my wedding lol.

It's all set. Shawna & Matt are flying in to Pearson. I will pick up Jenn & Mark up in NewMarket and then we will grab a limo to the airport. Just let us know what church, what time and we'll be there!

[ladymelissa]

and he WON'T ruin this one!!!!

That's the spirit! Although it is incredibly rude for him to invite two more people, it sounds like he is lucky to be invited at all.

[WhiskeyGirl]

It's all set. Shawna & Matt are flying in to Pearson. I will pick up Jenn & Mark up in NewMarket and then we will grab a limo to the airport. Just let us know what church, what time and we'll be there!

Matthew says that sounds like so much fun!! How cool would that be? We'll split on the limo and we'll have a fantastic time. While we're there we can all go to Niagra falls (Gotta do that for Matt :wink: ) and then we'll have a great time and hang out!! Matt says it sounds like so much fun!! I think so too!!!!! :D

[kevinsbride2B]

Isn't it sad that I would prefer to have you girls there then some of the family that I've invited? LOL I'm such a B*tch!!!
Well ladies get'er done then!!! September 15th at 3pm is the ceremony lol @ the Centennial College Residence in East Toronto.
I'm finally meeting with my photographer on Tuesday. we were suppose to meet sonner but her mother is dying and has been by her side since she moved her into the GTA (greater Toronto Area). Too bad she's gonna take pics and I had 2 new little friens decide to grow on my face this morning when I woke up!!! Isn't that always the way? Just rediculous!!!

[BriansBride07]

Sorry your Dad is treating you this way. But like you said earlier don't let him rain on your parade. And if it means him not showing up for very long so there are no problems, then so be it.


Sounds like fun hopefully your little friends will have disappeared by Tues.

[kevinsbride2B]

So things are moving with the wedding. I must say though... if it wasn't for my MOH I'd be a full blown mess!!!
I've been in and out of the hospital with my stomoch. I have developed an infection and it has entered my lymphnodes and it's not a lot of fun. The result is me laying there screaming in pain. She although has been doing it all for me. Meaning the phone calls, the setting of certain dates, the works!
But fortunatly yesterday I was able to take one of my FG's to try on dresses. We just wanted to see what style we liked the best. We brought the eldest one of my FG's Dixie. How she looks in them will determine it all as she's so much bigger and older and Jamie can pretty much wear anything cause she's so tiny.
So this was one of the dress styles we liked. Althought he price tag, not so much! $178!!!!!!!! That's mroe expensive then my BM dresses! So we've got the style we liek and her measurments o we're probably going to go online and find something.
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0080.jpg
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0081.jpg
Dixie was sooooooooo good the whole time. Shr tried on about 10 dresses. She enver once complained or anything. The excitment for her was also overwhelming to boot! But she was honest and when she said that somthing just wasn't good she mentioned it. She deffinetly loves the "poof!" lol
This is the other dress that we liked, although we like the first one better. I just needed to show you cause the pics are cute lol. Not to mention this one is $210!!! Again for a flower girls dress? haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaa I think NOT!!!
http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k277/blondisma/PICT0082.jpg

[hummingbird521]

Both dresses are beautiful, but i do like the first one better. So sorry to hear you have developed an infection. Girl you better start taking care of yourself. haha. I hope with the antibiotics you get to feeling b etter real soon.

[Kacie_bride]

I hope you get to feeling better Lindsey! Poor thing. But on a positive note, your fg is very cute!!!! I like the style of dress she is pictured in! I'm glad she was good. I think the little girls are much better sports when it comes to trying on nice clothes than little boys.

[BriansBride07]

So sorry you are still in so much pain and with a infection to boot. I hope the anti. start working fast so you are on the road to recovery with no more problems.. As for the flower girl dresses I love the 1st on but wow the price is unbeliveable. I hope you can find something online cheaper. Or you could do what we are doing and find someone to make the dress for you. with a pattern best of luck to you,.

[SaralovesMike]

I really like the first one! That was my choice for my FG but I changed my mind to another that looked more "little girl-y." Hmmm now I may change back to this one now that I'm seeing it on.....

[kevinsbride2B]

My grandmother has been a side line seamstress forever!!!! So we've found some of the dresses for about 80% pless then what the store wanted, and then we'll see what's cheaper. It may just be cheaper to buy them if we can find the right price. We saw a similar one online for $43 USD. So they are out there lol.
As for my tummy, and my blood, I just got off the phone with the Dr's office. If I can't get an appointment with her within the next couple of days I'm going to be hospitalized. Something I'm not looking very forward to at all!!!!

[ladymelissa]

Cute dresses, the pink one is my fav.

I hope you feel better soon!

[kevinsbride2B]

Cute dresses, the pink one is my fav.

I hope you feel better soon!
thank you Melissa!!!!!!!!
I just got off the phone with my Dr. I'm going in to see her on Wednesday then it looks like I'm goign to be havign a hospital stay! But I wanna watch American Idol!!!!!!!! So nothing can happen tomorrow night lol

[hummingbird521]

Lindsey I am sorry to hear about your upcoming hospital stay. Watch the show in the bed with nurses waiting on you there. haha. I sincerely hope they get you much better very soon.

[Valmai]

Sorry ur still not well, hopefully they can sort something for u this time! Ilove the flower girls dresses they always look so cute dont they! xxx

[Jopet]

Awww both those dresses are soooo cute!

I hope you are feeling better soon hun :( You are having such a rough time at the moment!

[kevinsbride2B]

Thank you all for being so supportive. It's been a really rough time for my family with all that has been going on with my health. I hate so badly to make them worry and too see them so upset about everything that is going on.
I'm suppose to be in full wedding mode now! I have been out and about making decisions though, but they have to be short and sweet so I can get back home.
I'm meeting with the photographer tonight at her place after dinner so we can chit chat a little about the weddign and so on. That's deffinetly a high point for me right now.
My job is hanging in the line right now too. I haven't been able to go in to work regularly nor have I been able to last a full day, so I'm not sure what's going on, in that front.
All I can say is that I have a very supportive family and in that family I include all of you!!!! Thanks for all of your thoughts it means the world to me!!!

[kevinsbride2B]

So the last couple days have been kinda crazy with a couple of wedding things but here we go...
We went out to meet the photographer last night, and it wasn't quite what Kevin hoped for. I'm not really sure what he was expecting with her but apparently it's not what he expected. He really needs to learn how to speak up. I was there with my Mom and he and we talked and I kept asking him his opinion but he just kept saying "ok, sure". Until we got home and he as in a crabby mood. He says that he doesn't want her pics to disapoint me. He says she's not professional enough. This we knew as she's a student building her portfolio. I don't know how else you could get a photographer for $120? I thought her work was good. Sure she's a little on the strange side of things but oh well, all that matters is that her work is good.
One of the guys on his car forum that he belongs to, his wife is a photographer. I remember seeing the prices before but for soem reason Kevin has forgotten how expensive she is.
I know that money isn't everything, but you can't spend this kind of cash when you honestly don't have it!!! And we DON'T have it!
I'm so frusterated. I know that the both of us need to agree, however I'm doing this all on my own, so he's going to find a photographer on his own for the same price so he can see first hand how hard it was!!!
So after we bickered a little he went down stairs to set of the coffee maker and so on, and came up said good night gave me a peck and went to sleep. RULE #1 with me.... DON'T GO TO BED ANGRY OR WITH SOEMTHING ON YOUR MIND!
I'll have to talk to him tonight to see what's going on.

[kevinsbride2B]

So I mentioned before that one of my Bridesmaids has disapeared and never showed up when she was suppose to and so on....
I called the dress place that my girls bought there dresses and I finally threw in the towel and told the owner that had she not shown up by Tuesday night, I wanted her to go ahead and order them anyway.
So I get this phone call last night at 630 (the place closes at 7) and it's my BM. She was on her way to go and put a down payment on it. Talk about calling it close?!
Sure I'm happy that she's finally gone to do it, however I don't know if this will be a reflection into the future. What happends when I need her the next few months and she's knowhere to be found?
Thankfully I have 2 fabulous BM's and 1 Awesome MOH!!!

[shawnsgirl]

Ya, one thing I can guarantee for my wedding is that my entire wedding party is a RIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There all hillarious in there own little way.
I know I'll have maybe 2 sitting there being shy about giving their opinion, but I know it won't take long for the other girls to crack them out of that shell.
I told them regardles we have to have a "fashion show". There all goign to find the TACKIEST dress in the whole store and they all need to find one and try it on lol. I think this will ease the nerves about not knowing everyone.
Then by the time I have my little BP mingle next month it'll be easy going and everyone can have fun.

That's a great idea and it sounds fun too!!!

[kevinsbride2B]

So I haven't been postign a whole lot on here cause lately I swear everything has just been wild!
I have however spent a ton of time trying to scout out a new photographer. It's a pain in the bum trying to seperate the good from the bad and the serious from the not so serious.
I've had about 30 e-mails in my inbox over the last 24 hours!!! So just time reading them all intentivly not to mention replying has been a long process.
Our limo driver is coming over to show us the car in the next week at some point so we can see it and get that checked off the list.
This may be time consuming but I know that in the long run it'll be so welcoming to know that things are getting done, not pushed to the side.

[kevinsbride2B]

I can only speak for my side of the family because I think I'm going to have to let Kevin decide what to get his parents. They are very very very different people from my side of the family and for that reason that will get different things. (Not that KEv's parents should get anything cause they have and will do NOTHING! But that's besides the point, just me being a Bee with an itch).

When I was a little girl my Mom and I used to read the book "I'll love you forever" by Robert Munch. Every little segment in the book has the phrase "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be". It's always held a significance in our relationship as mother and daughter. I'm hoping to talk to a book company and see if I can get a hard cover of the book and I hac have it personalized inside. My Aunts neighbour works for a large Canadian book company so I think I'd be able to get a hold of a copy of it. And maybe a piece of jewllery to finish her off. Something that she can always see me in when she looks at it.

The other thing I'm going to run into is my Grandparents. They have been the other parents in my life. I lived there with my Mom when I was a little girl and they have always been the "ones in my life aside from my Mom. I truly have no idea what I would get them!!! They're those people who have everything, and are constantly saying "I don't need one of those" or "What would I ever do with that?" Thay have a beautiful backyard with a pool and so on. I would love to find soemthing that they could put out there or something. Maybe even a tree of some sorts that flowers ever year. I really don't know. Any ideas?

[shawnsgirl]

With grandparent gifts I would go the sentimental route. Something that maybe you share together or have shared together that is a symbol of that. For instance, for shawns grandmother she came across her old parachute wedding gown. Her and shawn's grandfather got married in the phillipines during ww2. Her gown was made out of a parachute. Anyhow she has given me material from that and I am making a hankerchief with their wedding date and monogram and ours as well. Something small but the sentimental value of it is huge. I haven't decide on our other 3 sets og grandparents, but even though they have everything they always love sentimental things. Even if it's a letter with a picture in a frame..I'm sorry I can't give you anything definate or obvious it's kind of hard too with this idea. But maybe you can think of something the represents a significant part of your relationship with them. Hope this helps..

[kevinsbride2B]

I hate this time of the year... It's cold and yucky outside, there isn't anything right around the corner that's overly exciting or to celebrate and allt he bills from Christmas are still oozing in!
Kevin and I are house sitting starting next Friday so it'll be a nice change of pace for 2 weeks.
All the little tid bits for the wedding are needing to be done and so on and I'm getting no help from my sweety! He's great at talking about what we should do nd goign to the shows to see things but callign and finding things out not so much!! I spend all of this time trying to figure things out and he talks to one person and he thinks it should all go his way. I love himt o death and he should have a say in the wedding but you can't becoem an expert if you dont' do the research first!
As I've posted on the "bride" area about photographers, I got the argument that I knew I would get. He found an aquaintences wife who's a photographer wilign to do all the photography fro the wedding for $500 with a film camera and no prints. I told him that I had thought about it and I didn't want to go this route. He went off his stick about it. He's convinced that if we get a student to do our pics then we're throwing away our money and memories of the wedding. I'm sorry but for a NUMBER of reasons I just don't want to do this. Plus it's my money that's paying for it!
It just feels like I'm putting a lot more work into this then he is. I know he wants a beautiful wedding but he hasn't even sat down and decided hwo many people he's inviting or who or what not. Kind of important for the budget!
The last thing I want to do is be kept up in this house and bicker, but I don't know what else to say to him. I don't want or need a fight about this however thee things NEED to get done. the wedding is 7 months away and living in the city things book up quickly!
It just feels liek everywhere I'm turning right now is just not goign to well: our wedding plans, my family life with my Mom, and job and my health. I just wish I could get a vacation. We have a 2 night 3 day stay in Montreal that we can book and it's free, and I think we REALLY need it right now!

[Kacie_bride]

I'm sorry things seem kinda unsettling right now. Justin got that way with things at times too. I think that vacation would be a good thing for you guys to do right now. It sounds like you need to get away and maybe not think about the wedding for a little while. I know that is very hard to do though!

BTW I think the gift idea for you mom sounds great!

[kevinsbride2B]

Thanks Kacie!!! It just feels liek sicne my surgery I've been on the go with EVERYTHING!!!! My job isn't going so well. I'm being taken advantage of at work and very unapreciated. I just need otu of there, things are a little on the unsafe side right now.
I told my Gramma about the gift idea for my Mom and she thinks it'll be good too. Now to figure things out for her!
Ya we'll get that vacation and just RELAX! I don't think I remember what the meanign of the word is anymore.

[StaceyMc]

(((Hugs))) I'm sorry that things seem to be so crazy for your right now. You know, Joe gets the same way. He's good at talking about things that need to be done, but I'm the one that is stuck making phone calls and getting things scheduled. Just the other night, I sat down, at 8:30 p.m. to order the favors (we had a meeting with the organist earlier in the evening) and suddenly, Joe has another suggestion about favors. All of these months, he's agreed with the little evergreen trees for each person, now it's another suggestion, as I'm logging onto the tree site. Frustrating, to say the least.

I came to a realization the other night (it's taken me a year to figure it out), I plan pretty details, he plans for "not so pretty details" - parking, table arrangements, weather, etc. Try to think of it that way and remember - the most important part is the "I Do" part - not the centerpieces, candles, etc.

Good luck!

[Goin2thechapel]

Cheer up Kacie!!!

Pretty soon your wedding will be over and you'll say "All that planning for...."
It's amazing how fast the day goes by. Make the rest of your planning as enjoyable as you can :)

[kevinsbride2B]

Thanks girls!!! I'm just so blah!!! Kevin even notices it. But your night, the most important part is the "I do's".
I just got to work and on my way in I was listening to "Chasing Cars" which is our first dance song. It made me feel a lot better. I can picture the 2 of us very happy and married. By the time I hear that song on our wedding day all the stressing will be over with!
Theres just these loose ends that are soooooo hard to tie back up. By this i mean the photography and the DJ. It doesn't sound liek a lot, however thrre is so much effort going into these 2 things that it's just so carazy! Once the booking of the individuals is done I think I'll be ina better frame of mind.
Thanks for the support guys!

[kevinsbride2B]

Cheer up Kacie!!!

Pretty soon your wedding will be over and you'll say "All that planning for...."
It's amazing how fast the day goes by. Make the rest of your planning as enjoyable as you can :)

Oh Amanda... btw, I'm Lindsey not Kacie ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But Kacie is one of the sweestest girls so I'll just take it as a compliment lol

[StaceyMc]

I can picture the 2 of us very happy and married.

I was sitting in the church, listening to the music that we chose, and picturing us standning at the altar. It made all of the nuttiness, rapid fire decision making, and the "tiffs" that we've gotten into all worth it.

I am really sorry that things are not going well! I can totally relate about the stuff with Kevin. Stephen is the same exact way-he has opinions on things, but absolutely will not do anything to help like make phone calls or research! And it has been even worse the last month or so b/c we are trying to buy a house, but it is all in my name (kind of a long story) so he CAN'T do a lot but what he could do he won't! I think a vacation would do you guys some good, ecspecially if there is minimal wedding talk. I hope things get better for you soon! Just remember-in 8 months you will be Kevin's wife!! :D

[BriansBride07]

I'm so sorry Lindsey that things don't seem to be going right at the moment. I'm sure that everything will come together in the end. I wish you all the best.

[kevinsbride2B]

So everything finally came to a head last night and I had a melt down. It kills me that I teach stress managment for a living but I can't practice what I preach.
It started at work. I'm having a really hard time at work right now. I work in a Youth day treatment for high risk youth. We do all sorts of programming with them such as education, life skills, anger managment, stress managment and so on. My supervisor has been off sick for a week now and yesterday all 3 of my placment students called in sick and I was along with 18 kids! All of which had soemthing serious happen to them the night before which required some one on one time with me making calls for them and such.
My boss (the owner of the agency) who has been nothing but mean since I returned from my holidays stood there and yeled at me every chance he got. I don't mean he was bickering I mean he was YELLINg at me in front of all my kids. Totally belittling me. Then to top it off we have a new marketing man and for some reason he thinks I'm his new secretary. I'm a Youth worker I don't know the first thing about working in an office and therefore I don't knwo how to do this that and the other thing... IT'S NOT MY JOB!!!
I got rid of the kids and did my cleaning of the place. There I was on my hands and knees bawling my eyes out! Knowone saw me which was good but I was a mess.
I came home and checked my bank account and it read "$6.76" I just lost it!!! I didn't get paid while i was off on surgery.
I spent from 5pm last night till 1am this morning just sobbing.
I feel a lot better today, but I've come to the conclusion that I need to find another job and fast! I can't deal with all of this anymore there. I have more important things to be that upset about!

[mariaandmanish]

Lindsey, that is just terrible! I am so sorry that you had such an absolute horrible day! I can't blame you at all for sobbing, I'm sure I would have done the same, and I'd probably still be sobbing now!

All bad is followed by good, and you've got to keep looking forward to that as I'm sure it's coming soon. Keep relaxed as you can, and try to remember that you can't worry too much, as it is bad for you. Everything will work out.

I hope that you find a new job really quickly; it sounds as though you need it more than anyone! Best of luck! Crying and venting helps a lot, so our ears are open.

[lize566]

Oh Lindsey I am so sorry you had such a bad day!! :hug: I hope you find a new job soon-I think everybody deserves to have a job they at least sort of like going to! You still have plenty of great things in your life, like Kevin. We are here are for you if you need to talk anymore!

[ladymelissa]

That is terrible, I hope it gets better soon! :hug:

[shawnsgirl]

First off I would like to say I am sooooo sorry you are going through this. The last thing your boss should be doing is yelling at you in front of the students. That is a huge NO NO...How are these teenagers to deal with their problems when their own counselor is being yelled at?? Anyhow, is your supervisor someone you can go to talk about it? I would suggest talking to her about his unprofessionalism...In the meantime keep your eyes out for something better.
As far as the wedding planning is going..I know how you feel. It took a long time to get FH involved in the planning process and have him step up to the plate. He kept pushing it aside like it wasn't important and always found and excuse not to help..Then when he finally did start helping it felt as if everything I wanted to do he didn't and it was just plain frustrating. Eventually a weekend escape and some time alone helped. I think he was feeling as everything in my life took precedence over him including planning the wedding and he was feeling slighted...Just hang in there it will get better!!

[kevinsbride2B]

I've been soooooooo busy the last couple weeks with everything that I feel I have gotten nothing accomplished for the wedding!!!!! I'm really starting to feel lazy. I've even been having nightmares...
The first nightmare was that i woke up in the morning and it was my wedding day. I had nothing ready and we had to go and break into walmart to get what we needed! I guess it's because of that commercial a few years ago "We got everything for our wedding at walmart".
And then I have the same one over and over again. In this one I have my dress and that's it. My hair and make up isn't done, I don't have a tiara or anything else. Just a messed up dream. However I still wake up with anxiety.
Kevin and I are house sitting for the next 2 weeks so I think the silence and alone time will help us do what we need to get done. I think I'm just feeling pretty overwhelmed. I've mentioned a bunch of stuff that's going on in my life on a few threads, so I think I just need some seclusion. The wedding is the best time consuming thing that I can do for myself. I just need to get on it!
We're also tryign to arrange a BP get together but everyoen has different plans on weekends. Why can't everyone have a 5 day a week 9-5 jobs? lol

[shawnsgirl]

ohh. I know you have had a rough time lately..Just hang in there it will get better. I think some time alone between you and the FH will do you both some good. I definatly works for me and Shawn! Anyhow, I think we all get busy and the wedding planning gets pushed to the back burner. It stinks when you have so much to do and so little time.

It will get better I promise!! :bblol:

I really hope house sitting gives you the relaxation you guys need. I love house sitting, I think it's so fun! Also, I have had dreams about my wedding too! I thought it was kinda soon to be having nightmares about it, but I guess not!!! One of my nightmares though it was the morning after and I couldn't remember anything from the wedding. Then the next one (this was just the other night) it was the wedding and NOTHING was right. The cake was all wrong and the centerpieces were ugly and I didn't like anything. I was so upset!! Anyways, just thought I would share :) I hope everything gets better-there comes a point where things just can't get much worse!

[kevinsbride2B]

Well let me start by saying that if it wasn't for Kevin I'm not sure what I would have done for the last couple of weeks. He's so understanding and patient!
So yesterday was officially day from HE double hockey sticks! It didn't start out badly. I got to work, got soem work doen and la de da. Then by lunch time we had 14 clients coem itno the program. It wouldn't be so bad if they were 14 half decent kids. But remember I work in a day treatment and we don't cater to the nice little guys.
All afternoon the kids were out of control. I had 2 of my placement students with me yet that meant nothing because they were that bad! At about 230 we had about 6 adults come intot he program. My boss wasn't with them yet I had seen them before so I wasn't alarmed. My supervisor had told me that they were thinking about selling the basement that we run our program with and cancelling our program for the agency to move in another direction. I asked him if this would first of al affect my job with them and so on. He told me that it was only being talked about and nothing like this would happen for quite a logn time and we would coe to the road when we got there. Well these people who came in have bought out basement and will be moving in, in the near future. I have no idea where I stand being employed right now and for how long. If that wasn't upsetting enough...
I was leaving for the day and my Grandfather came to pick me up cause Kev had the car. I got into the car and he asked me what was going on with the beer? I had no idea what he was talkign about. Apparently while I had my back turned the kids had been drinking all day! Who doesn't notice this? There sneaky little buggers! So basically a bunch of 16 year olds all got hammered while with me yesterday. I'm NOT IMPRESSED!
So I get home and I'm already upset and I notice a message from my dr's office on the answering machine. There has been some problems with the test results I had last week and the Dr. needs me to come in immediatly when she returns from her holidays. So Wednesday I have an appointment. Let me remind you that I'm in remission from cancer already and I don't liek these calls. Needless to say it wasn't a great night last night. So how can I top yesterday? One of my kids goign to set the place on fire?

[kevinsbride2B]

I really hope house sitting gives you the relaxation you guys need. I love house sitting, I think it's so fun! Also, I have had dreams about my wedding too! I thought it was kinda soon to be having nightmares about it, but I guess not!!! One of my nightmares though it was the morning after and I couldn't remember anything from the wedding.

Thanks Sweety!!! It's good to know that I'm not the only psycho havign these dreams! lol I'm only kidding. We're not psycho's we're "special" lol.
I'm deffinetly looking forward to my little move out for 2 weeks. Not a vacation but the closest thing that will be one for a while!

[NicksBride]

oh I am so sorry you had such a terrible day!

Housesitting is very relaxing and the both of you deserve some time together. My thoughts are with you at the doctors, I hope it is nothing to to serious! Hang in their sweetie!

[lize566]

Thanks Sweety!!! It's good to know that I'm not the only psycho havign these dreams! lol I'm only kidding. We're not psycho's we're "special" lol.
I'm deffinetly looking forward to my little move out for 2 weeks. Not a vacation but the closest thing that will be one for a while!

:) Your welcome!

That really sucks about your job-I hope you find another one soon! Also, my prayers will be with you next week while at the dr. My little brohter had cancer and those kinds of calls are always scary!!! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, and let us know as soon as you find out anything!

[WhiskeyGirl]

Oh Lindsey, sweetie. I will be thinking of you night and day I swear!!! I have my fingers crossed that everything will be ok Honey!! Take care, Hun!!! :hug:

[mariaandmanish]

The time alone is probably the best thing for you right now. Time to reconnect as a couple. Planning everything, plus the general stress of the everyday, takes a huge toll. I hope that the time alone helps you both out, gives you time for each other again as well. Keep your chin up, Lindsey!!

[shawnsgirl]

Oh I am so sorry to hear all of this!!!! I just said a prayer for you and I will keep you in my prayers. I am sooooo sorry you are going through all of this. Work stressing you out, The possiblity of you not having a job, tests results that you doctor wants to see you about....God love you sweety! Hang in there sweety...I'm glad you are getting a weekend away alone. I think that is what you need. I hope you know that I am here for you!!

[Jacklynn]

I have been having dreams for the last few months where its like the day before or the day of the wedding, and nothign is booked, and I had all of these things to do an no time. I think it's a normal thing to be worried little girls like us :)

[kevinsbride2B]

Thank you all for the support your all so sweet!!!
Well my family is all having a mini nervous breakdown awaiting my dr's appointment date. I've decided to not think about it until Wednesday when I go in. It's not worth getting upset for the unknown right?
So Michaels had their card stock on sale for $4 for 50 sheets so guess what we bought a bunch of?
We want to play and see what little glitches we will have with the card stock before we start getting serious with making them. Plus we're going to have to take them to Kevin's Mom up North before May because she's travelling to England and she's going to drop them off to family members there for us. It'll really help on postage for us. And then she'll bring them back in July with her all filled out when she comes home.
We start hosue sitting today and I couldn't be happier to get out of the same 4 walls for a little while. However I did wake up this morning with the flu. I have a temperature, my head is SPINNING, and I have a yucky cough. and I'm affraid to put anything in my mouth in fear of up-chucking it all over again. Ewwwwwwwwww :(

[ladymelissa]

Congrats on the card stock deal!

I hope you feel better.

[kevinsbride2B]

Congrats on the card stock deal!

I hope you feel better.

Thanks Melissa! Kevin has just drugged me all up with contact complete super strength lol!!! So check your skies in the near future for me to be flying by!!! LOL

[shawnsgirl]

Well I'm glad you get out of the house this weekend. I hope you are feeling much better soon. Let us know then how your appointment goes on Wednesday.

Congrats on the card stock!! I love sales ecspecially on wedding stuff!

[kevinsbride2B]

So it's now February and I'm knowhere furthur then I was before Christmas!!! I was hoping to get some stuff accomplished for the wedding while I'm house sitting but I have come down with what I think is the flu. Kevin thinks it's a lot worse. I have a worrible fever, I can't keep anything down, and I have a cough like no tomorrow. I even have a pain all over my body. Liek little needles everywhere. And when I stand up I fall over.
So I though hmmmmmm I can sit and talk with my lovely OW ladies and even that hurts. So I'm not sure how often I'm going to be on until I feel better, however I am trying to check in. I guess it's just my nosey nature lol.

[WhiskeyGirl]

Lindsey,

I hope you are feeling better soon!! And when you do can yo usend me some feeling better dust, too? THough you sound much worse off then I do, I'm not vomiting but I don't really care to eat much. HAng in there and feel better. My fingers are still crossed for your doc's appt coming up!!! :D

[kevinsbride2B]

Thanks Ladies...
I had my appointment at the dr yesterday and I'll start by telling you that I do have the flu a temperature that is spiking and a nasty sinus infection. But for my main reason for the visit, they have found a lump on my cervix. There not sure what's going on right now as they won't until they do a biopsy. They want to wait and see if possibly my ovulating might get rid of it as it's in the ovulation tract. So time will tell. And I will let you all know.
It's kind of an uneasy time for us right now cause we're not sure what's up and the waiting game is always one of the worst!!!
When I get more info I'll be sure to let you ladies know!

[Jopet]

Awww hun!!! I hope you ovulating gets rid of it! I will keep u in my thoughts! :)

[countrygirl]

Sorry to hear about that Lindsey. Please do let us know what the outcome is. I hope you feel better!

[WhiskeyGirl]

My thoughts are with you Lindsey!! You take it easy and take care Sweet Heart!! :D

[BriansBride07]

I will keep you in my thoughts I hope all goes well for you. And the biopsy is nothing to serious.

[shawnsgirl]

Thank you sweety!!!!!!!!!!! I need all the magic dust i can get, Tinkerbell has been holding out on me apparently with her pixie dust!
I'm glad to see your back with us. I missed ya!!!:D

[BriansBride07]

Lindsey, I hope you are feeling better.

[kevinsbride2B]

So we're finished house sitting and we're back home. I can honestly say though that it was so nice getting out of the house and getting into a different enviroment or a couple of weeks. Although it sucked pretty bad that I had the flu and a sinus infection for the first week and all i did was sleep! Atleast I still had a second week though to spend with Kevin and we could enjoy one another.

I'm just waiting for him to get back because he has a "suprise outing" planned for us today. I haven't a clue as to where he is planning to take me but he's really excited. So excited he even went and had his hair cut lol.

I'll have to let you ladies know what we end up doing. I'm all ready to go wherever it is we're going. All I need to do is put my shoes on.

I love suprises don't get me wrong, but i can't handle not knowing what I'm doing ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[shawnsgirl]

Ahhh that's so sweet of you FH to have a nice surprise for you today!! I love surprises too!
I hope you have a great time and I can't wait to hear all about it!!!

[WhiskeyGirl]

That is too cute Lindsey!! I hope you both have a great day!!! :D

[kevinsbride2B]

Fewwwwwwwwwf!!! I had this feeling that Kevin was going to take me to a car show. and if that was the case we would no longer be engaged lol. I don't mind goign to them, however as a suprise to me, ya not cool by ANY means!!! But he didn't...

I got pretty finger nails, pretty toes and a massaged little body for my Valentine's present from my "snuckums" lol. I don't think I have ever called him that ha ha ha

I'm very pleased!!!! I feel all special and stuff. I've never gotten anything special on Valentine's day before!

[WhiskeyGirl]

That is so incrediably sweet of Kevin!! How lucky are you girl!? :D ;)

[SerendipityCrafts]

Way to go Kevin !!!!

[hummingbird521]

How wonderful of Kevin to do this for you. I must say that is especially sweet of him to do.

[lize566]

Aww how sweet!! You are so lucky to have someone that does that kind of stuff for you! My FH is terrible at planning and keeping secrets lol! I'm glad your house sitting was good, except the being sick part!

[kevinsbride2B]

Well I must admit that he had me pretty suprised!!! Usally with Kevin he gets so excited when he has a suprise that hje gives it all away, but I normally just play dumb and pretend I don't know. Christmas is pretty bad for this and my birthday.
One year he got me a watch for Christmas and he all but gave it to me it was so obvious lol. I love him though, I think I'll keep him around:laugh:

[nic1124]

That is such a nice suprise! Lucky girl :laugh:

[BriansBride07]

What a sweet way to spend V-day. your a lucky gal.

[NicksBride]

How is Kevin doing?

[Kacie_bride]

I haven't been on lately so this is the first time I've gotten to read this. Lovely V-Day!!!!

[Goin2thechapel]

Hope Kevin is feeling better :)

[kevinsbride2B]

First of all let me thank you all from the bottom of my heart and Kevin's too for all the sweet words, thought and your prayers. Things still are pretty out of hand but we're taking it one day at a time. Diabetes is such a common disease yet very rarely do we experience it when it's completly out of hand especially with someone we love at such a young age. So again, Thank you!!!

I tried to get Kevin out of the hosue the other night so I figured the mall would be stimulating and keep us all occupied and he could get some good exercise. We did, a 4 hour walk!

While at the mall we did something we've been waiting to do for quite some time... We tried on wedding bands!!!!!!!!!! YAHHHH!!!! We had so much fun and suprisingly I've decided which one I think I want too!!! It's not what I had invisioned at all. I tried on a plain thicker band and it just looked horrible. Then I tried one on with some diamond flaking and it looked fabulous. and it wasn't stupid priced either. So that made my day.

[kevinsbride2B]

With everything going on I just have to commend my BP for being so supportive and ready to help out with whatever they can!!!
I had been planing a meet and greet for March 31st up until all of this happend with Kevin, then I cancelled it and my BP forced me into going through with it as they think it'll be good for Kev. The wedding has been a big bright light for him and something he hasn't forgotten. Whenever the anxiety hits him I just sit there and tell him all about what our wedding day is going to be like.
Even the guys of the BP have been there taking care of whatever needs to be taken over. So thanks to them!

[Goin2thechapel]

You're lucky to have such a great BP. Yay for ring shopping! Sounds like you had alot of fun!

[BriansBride07]

Sounds great Lindsey. I am so glad that you have found such great support with your BP. YEah on trying on wedding bands and finding some. I hope KEvin continues to feel better. HE will be back to himself before you know it.

[Jacklynn]

Going wedding band shopping was fun, I'm so glad you had a great time doing it!

[NicksBride]

Sounds like you had a great time trying on rings, and I am so glad that you have a supportive BP, I will continue to keep Kevin in my thoughts as he continues to get better! Take care of yourself too!

[kevinsbride2B]

OMG it feels like forever since I've been on here! But I just really haven't had a chance to do ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm deffinetly running on empty to tell you the truth!
So Thursday coming up (March 15) is gonna mark 6 MONTHS TIL THE WEDDING!!!!!! It's so crazy! We started off at 16 months and now we'v lost 10. It's such a strange feeling! But at the same time It's so exciting. I think I can honestly say that it has been one of the things that has really helped me pull through all of these issues with Kevin. Just knowing that I'll be his wife at the end of this long hard road. And I can let myself daydream too when things get a little on the rough side of things.

[kevinsbride2B]

We;ve picked our dresses for our FG's to wear! We're just finishing up getting them all measured and stuff and then we can order them. We saw the exact same make and everything in the store here for $174.99 plus tax and now online for $49.99??? HELLO????!!!!!!! So needless to say this is what we're getting.
I'm gonna have them shipped to my step Mom in Connecticut so I can get the free shipping too. So we decided that we'll get the gloves to top off our total before tax and there practically all taken care of.
The website won't let me save the picture because of copyright laws and so on, but here's the link for the dress...

[NicksBride]

Cute! I love that dress.

[kevinsbride2B]

Cute! I love that dress.
Thanks!!! Unfortunatly Kevin's daughter didn't express the same enthusiasm as her favorite colour is green and just doesn't understand why she can't wear a frilly green dress to the wedding. I thought we would have passed this stage but I was mistaken lol. My other FG is Jamie's idle and she loves it so I'm hoping it might rub off on Jamie lol :)

[Goin2thechapel]

Kids!!! hahaha...

[Jacklynn]

I agree the dress is cute :) And I love the gloves as well!

[NicksBride]

I am sure it will. She will see the other girl wearing it and see how much fun she has in it... She will be fine.. Kids I tell ya. My ring bearer wanted to wear a dress because his sister was and she was going to be "pretty" and he wanted to be pretty, so it just happens. haha

[kevinsbride2B]

So with everything that has happend to Kevin and the factor of better controlling diabetes with food intake I have been on a healthy food kick for the Mr. And obviously I'm not about to come home and make 2 meals.
Basically just eating healthy with grilled chicken, steamed veggies, and contolled carbs I have lost 9lbs!!! I was so excited! I've wanted to loose weight but I just couldn't find the time to go and work out with my stomoch still not being great, and I didn't wanna cook dinner just because "I wanted it". So now I'ma woman in control in the kitchen and loosing weight.
I had to take off a couple weeks of work because of everything goign on and I hadn't seen a few of my clients till Friday and they all ha to coem up to me and tell me how "fit" I was looking. ha ha ha! Poor choice of words but never the less it felt better then "Wow miss you have gained weight!"
I know it's not a lot of weight loss but I think it was maybe a present from somebody up there for all that has been going on and finally something happend that I wanted to happen.
I was just a nice feeling that's all!

[kevinsbride2B]

So KEvin and I have been through A LOT in the past month enough said. We have decided that we're going to go and get matching tattoo's so that all that we have been though will never be forgotten and because we have come so close to loosing one another. Basically we just have a much bigger appreciation of life.
One of my clients is working on his art portfolio and is a fabulous little sketch artist. So I've sent him on a mission to keep doodling on all sorts of different things.
We want to get some sort of a symbol that pretty much says "live for the moment" or so on. The whole idea streams from Kevin and I both having go through every moment and then repeat it once his memory erased it. and at first it was 5 minutes.
I deffinetly don'y want anything ushy gushy like hearts or so on. This isn't about 2 people who are getting married getting pretty matching stuff but 2 best friends who have been though a rough time and never want to have to go through it again.
If I get ome good art out of my client I'll be sure to scan it and post it.

[Jopet]

Awww hun that sounds like a sweet idea I think it will be beautiful and can't wait to see what you choose!! I hope you are both well :D. xoxoxo

[SaralovesMike]

Love Love LOVE the flower girl dress!!
The tattoo idea is very sweet, what a wonderful idea.

How's Kevin doing by the way???

[kevinsbride2B]

Love Love LOVE the flower girl dress!!

How's Kevin doing by the way???
Well it's slow and steady. We get our set backs with his health and moments that look bad but we just keep positive. Things can only get better and they will cause I won't have it any other way!
One of the hardest things to do is keep his spirits up. He's just missing so much information from the last few weeks that it gets him so upset. And the minute he gets upset it's a major set back.
Thanks for asking!!!! I'm gonna get him through this!

Keeping positive is the best thing. You're so strong! He is lucky to have you.

[lize566]

I love your outlook on the whole situation! I'm glad that despite everything that has been going on you are still being positive, and I'm glad that Kevin is doing better. I hope things continue to get better!

[SaralovesMike]

In sickness and health, that's right! You'll be an old pro at it by the time the wedding rolls around. LOL

[Goin2thechapel]

hehehehe...Sara's comment was cute...LOL

[kevinsbride2B]

So with all the drama going around especially now in my journal lol I wanna show you ladies some happy times... I took Kevin out for St.Patty's day. We've sat around here long enough so it was time to go and have some fun, just careful fun though cause he's still not 100%.
This was our St.Patty's day...

[NicksBride]

aww, you guys are sooo cute together!!!

[tiffany.marlene]

The tattoo idea is very sweet. My fiance is a tattoo artist and when he proposed, we got matching tattoos. I got a very fancy key tattoo and he got a heart-shaped locket w/ the key hole, and told me that he gave me the key to his heart...it was very touching. Something that permanent can really mean a lot.

[NicksBride]

aww I love that idea. That is what I wanted Nick and I to get something like that. Very romantic.

[Jopet]

Awww glad you too got to go out and have some fun!! You deserve it :). You too are such cuties!! :bbmrgreen:

[kevinsbride2B]

awww thanks guys:sweatdrop: I fully forgot my camera at home that night sitting on top of the TV! But my friend brought hers so the good ones are still waiting to be seen lol.
We're going to a Toronto Maple Leaf's game tonight (SHUT YOUR PIE WHOLE ELIZABETH! LOL) I got a couple tickets from work so we're gonna go and be blue and white tonight. But I've been pulling everything out in my house trying to find my jersey which has gone missing! So we're gonna ahve to make a quick pit stop at the mall and grab something from there cause I gotta support my team! GO LEAFS GO! (Once again shhhhhhh Elizabeth!)

For those of you who don't know, Toronto and Montreal are huge rivals here and Elizabeth is on the other side of the fence from where I stand. lol

[NicksBride]

haha you guys are to funny. :)

Have fun at the game tonight, it is nice that you guys get to go out an enjoy yourselves. You deserve it!!!

[SaralovesMike]

Glad you guys had a good night out, you deserve it.

Funny you brought that up. I just learned of that rivalry between Montreal and Toronto. We were watching "the biggest rivalry in hockey" the other night when Mike had to explain all about the Leafs and the Canadiens- he even explained about the "h" on their jerseys.

We're Wings fans here, another rivalry with the Leafs!!

Have fun at the game! :)

[hummingbird521]

Lindsey I am so happy to hear that Kevin is on the road to recovery. I like the tatoo idea. And I like even better that it is not all mushy gooshy too. Something to represent what you have gone through together and how you continued to be there for one another. I think it is sweet. I love, love the flower girls dresses. They are so pretty and will look great.

Have fun tonight. BTW your pics are adorable and i can tell you have lost some weight. Keep it up and you will blow away on your big day.

Pie hole huh? You see how Maple Laughs fans talk ladies??? Not very classy now is it? LOL whooo ha ha ha ha ha.

BTW - How many stanley cups have the laughs won? Oh and how many have the Canadian's won????

Little joke for ya -

Black and white photographs of their last Stanley Cup.

Your too funny!!!! And ya we're now completing a decade without a cup in our paws!
My whole family is made up of Hab fans, so I'm the lone leaf around here.

[kevinsbride2B]

So let me first appologize for not being on here too much lately but there has beena lot going on with Kevina nd with me. I was in training for a week which I was certified from yesterday. It was a crisis intervention course that I had to enroll in and pass for work reasons due to legislation. It was a crisis and restraints certification. I can now talk any crazy bridzilla down from causing complete havock!!!
My body still aches from all of it but I graduated from the program yesterday afternoon and to top it of I got the highest mark out of the group I was going through it with. It's silly and stuf but I needed a bit of a pick me up.
I was pretty much beaten for 5 days being thrown all of the floor and dropped on my face and so on practicing restraints.
But I'm back now with sooooooo much to do for this wedding!!!

[kevinsbride2B]

I whipped out for a smoke yesterday after I finished one of my exams and the progam and realised I had a voicemail on my cell phone... I listened and it was the show "rich bride, poor bride" which is a Canadian show about a bride and a groom and their budget. Kevin and I had done an audition when we were at a bridal show in September and they want us back this week to do aniother final audition. We've made it to the semi finals lol. So we'll see what this week holds. I'm hoping it'll give me some motivation to get some wedding stuff goign and light a fire under my butt! I'll keep you ladies posted on the outcome and our audition.

[NicksBride]

WOW! Two great things in a row. Congrautulations! That is wonderful news. keep us posted and well done in your class, that is a huge thing to get high marks you should be really proud!

[SerendipityCrafts]

Your too funny!!!! And ya we're now completing a decade without a cup in our paws!
My whole family is made up of Hab fans, so I'm the lone leaf around here.

LOL so what happened to you???

Crossing my fingers re: the show. Is that a Life show? If you get it ... does that mean they pay or just film you as your continue to be a frugal bride?

[mariaandmanish]

Good luck, Lindsey with the show! That sounds like something that could be really cool!

Also, congrats on your certification! Sounds like a satisfying, if exhausting week!

[kevinsbride2B]

I honestly don't know all the details of the show. But yes it's a life show now known as "slice" whatever!
I guess we'll find out all the details when we go to see them which is still so up in the air for when. I have so much to do and literally NO time for any of it!!! I go to bed trying to plot my next day and I stay up as late as I can getting stuff done. Where's that 25th hour? I need it!!
I take Kevin back to the endocrinologist tomorrow so hopefully we'll have more answers about a lot of stuff then regarding him.
I'm looking into getting certified in diabetes education. Basically just o I can go and take the courses to prevent ANY of this from EVER happening again!

[KMS]

So many things going on with you! I think I'll go take a little nap just from how busy YOU are. :bbmrgreen:

1. Job very well done in that class & your high scores!
2. A wedding reality show? That's so awesome. You'll have to let us know how that progresses.
3. Are you talking about getting your Certified Diabetes Educator license...CDE? If it's anything like it is in the states then you have a few years of hard work ahead of you!
4. Good luck at the endocrinologist. Hope you get some much needed answers.

[hummingbird521]

Congrats Lindsey for two wonderful things happening for you. How cool to be on a reality based show.

[kevinsbride2B]

Yes my dear your VERY right it's gonna be a few years of some hard work!!! But I'm not goignt o dive right into school again right now. I think I'd loose my mind and the wedding would take place at the psych ward at the hospital up the street!!!

[kevinsbride2B]

So here's somethiong I've never been able to write about before...
Jamie (Kevin's daughter) went up to stay with his parents for March break with her cousins. When she returned she had an envelope with her that she said was from Gramma and Grandpa and we HAD to open it. So I opened it up and it was a check for $1000 to go towards the wedding! They were initally suppose to pay for the wine but I'm not sure if this is just an extra it of cash because the note attached didn't say anything about that. I'm gonna have to get Kevin to check it out.
This was really the last thing I was expecting from them. This is because about a week ago Kevin's Mom called and was asking his mom for addresses and such fro the wedding. His Mom had the gal to ask "So your really sure you want to marry her?" I was in shock! I thought I've been here taking take of all your sons needs and health and getting him to appt and you ask this? Kevin replied by telling her that he was sure before and now that all of this has happend he wouldn't have it any other way with all that I have done. By no means have I done any of this for recognition or to be noticed, but to ask that PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!

[NicksBride]

ohh that is awful that she had to say that. I have to say though Nicks mom has said the same thing to him MANY times and have even asked me if I was sure I should be doing this. What is wrong with people? You are amazing with Kevin and have been there for him through this whole thing, as you said his mother should know that. I am sorry, you are an angel and she should know that.
But that is really nice about the check, while unexpected. :)

[SaralovesMike]

Too bad she had to be nasty about things. But what a suprise about the check. Totally unexpected but I'm sure it will help you out tons.

That's cool about the reality show. You'll definitely have to let us know how things come out. Our own little celebrity-lol.

[kevinsbride2B]

I knew the cheque was just a cushion before she wanted to power bomb the 2 of us!!! Let me explian...
Friday Kevin gets a call from Jamie's school (kevin's daughter). Apparently Jamie had a HUGE temepr tantrum and then ended up stabbign a kid in her class with a pencil.. She's 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyhoo Kevin explains that nothing liek this is tolerated with the 2 of us and it just doesn't happen. Next we talk to his ex who explains that this is all Kevin's fault because he's not around enought and blah blah blah. Total horse poop. The reality is that Jamie is acting just like her mother! Her mother has outbursts like this, doesn't disipline Jamie AT ALL and on MANY occasions has told her that if somebody pushes you or is mean to hit them. Like come on who teaches their kids this?
Anyhoo Kevin's mom calls that night and Kevin starts to explain what happend and she total pulls a 180 on us and agrees with his ex! That this is his fault. Is she serious? It's total nuts. She gets away with nothing when she's here. My mom and I are both youth workers and we see it all and she can't pull any of that around her. So anyways to make this some what shorter... She also starts to go on about how we should cancel the wedding bcause of his health, whats going on with Jamie and so on and how I'm not important in this and i need to stay out of it. She also has the belief that Kevin's ex is still a member of the family and so on and so forth. Just rediculous. She ends up hanging up on Kevin who is in hesterics. And for obvious reasons NOT what he needs right now!!!!!!!!!!! Like I'm just getting him back on his feet and this totally ruined his weekend and affected his sugar levels.
So, if I knew money grew on trees I would walk up to them and hand them their check back and say "thanks but go to hell!"
But on a happier note we go for our final audition for the show tomorrow. I'll write tomorrow when we get back to let you know what happend.

[Goin2thechapel]

Good LUCK!!!

[Jacklynn]

I'm so sorry!!! I wish she wasn't being like that. I can't relate totally but Matt's dad keeps saying things like "It's not too late to back out" or to my mom "So are you sure everyone is ready for this" or "I guess this is it huh?" like I know he is kidding but I can't stand it, its a pain. So I can't begin to imagine your situation when you know shes not even kidding. Sorry babe!

[KMS]

OMG I can't believe that she said all of that. I don't even know what to say... "UGH" is all I can come up with! Well, let us know how the audition goes!!!

[kevinsbride2B]

Thanks guys!!! All I can say is that Kevin is now coming to again and his first question is "Why didn't my parents come down when I was in such bad shape?" It's almost like a little kid asking why his Mom didn't come and see him when he was sick. And like that I don't even know what to say to him. Cause the reality is there was no reason why they couldn't. In the end I'm goign to marry her son, and we are so in love!!!
Last night KEvin and I were laying in bed and I just snuggled into him and told him how much I loved him. After all that we have been through in the past 6 weeks (nope 7 weeks actually) I can't stop just starring at him and thinking "I almost lost you bonehead!!!" The reality of it all is: Kevin and I love eachother end of story!

[NicksBride]

aww I got goosebumps, you guys are going to be so happy together and have a wonderful life together. You are an angel and he knows that.

[hummingbird521]

so sorry you had to deal with all of this. great news about the extra cash though. i know you will put it to good use. lol

[kevinsbride2B]

So we went to our audition. But... Unfortunatly due to a confidenciality clause I can't talk about it. They'd have my butt in a sling if I did but let me say that it was a BLAST!!!!!!! Kevin and I had a great time and hopefully we'll hear either way soon.

So my wedding dress... It was suppose to come in, in February but I never heard anything. I've called a few times and no answer or they say call back and talk to this person or that person and so on. So I called them from work today. After they finally realized after me telling them 5 million times that Lindsey starts with an L and not an R they said that they've had my dress for over 2 months. Nice of them to call huh? Well needl;ess to say I was a little upset about no call but it's in and that's one panic averted!
Although they said I could come and pick it up and in August bring it in for a fitting. I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!! I paid for my fitting and alterations and I'm gonna get them. Not to mention all the stuff that I want changed ad so on. So I'm gonna go in hopefully next week and I'll take some pictures and yadda yadda yadda. I just hope that there wasn't any issues with what I ordered and what I got and so on. Wish me luck!
I am very excited though!!! EEEEEEEEK!!!!!
