107...

Yes. I just checked and we STILL have 107 days left. Not as lucky and my dear Kylee and Erik...but we're getting there (super slowly)! Wedding plans are kinda...well...NOT moving. haha! I haven't done anything towards the wedding in .... a.long.time. I guess I feel like if I don't plan...it will somehow hurry up and get it. But so far that method hasn't worked. lol (:  But, on one hand it feels super crazy that me and Derrick are about to become HUSBAND and WIFE!!! (: ahh! I can not wait til we are one. I have NO idea what I would do without him. He is seriously always there for me. Any time I need him. And I love it (: I love him (: and I'm so thankful God have him to me (: Thanks, God.


I feel like these next 3.5 months are going to be hard. School is seriously so hard right now. I have 4 classes that like to produce homework/projects/tests at the same time! It seems like I always have something due. Oh wait. I do. lol I have a test on Beowulf tomorrow. And I have to write a resume for him. dumb, i know. Someone in my class said this is their favorite book. I'm thinking he was probably more than likely high when he said it.

Well. Trailer is still looking like it did 2 months ago. (Tristan- do you EVER do anything productive?) We've been waiting on it to get cooler. Uh huh. Now it is and we still haven't worked on it. haha Well wait a minute. Before Derrick flips...He did work on it the other day. (he pulled up staples. i know i know, but don't tell him that was nothing major) And his mom caulked the walls? I took the ACT. four hours of my life wasted. This saturday is Stew's birthday party. Yes you should come (: it will probably  be fun, but i know there will be food (: so yea, its a good idea. Next saturday i am having a yard sale. Praise Jesus maybe I can get rid of some of the JUNK i've collected since I can remember. lol

We've been looking at places to stay for our honeymoon and I'm excited. (:

I feel like I'm going to have like the longest testimony ever after I finish this semester. The Lord has really helped me SO much already and we have like 3 more months left. Eeek.

I feel like I'm just rambling now.

I do believe that we are having a shower in October at Griffin. Then one at Stevenson in November. Mom said that things really set in when you start having showers. And i really hope she's right. Sometimes I just sit there and its like a lightbulb goes off and I'm like "man! I'm getting married!!!!" (: You'd  think it would kick in after 5 months of being engaged...but not really. haha (:

Yes, I really am only rambling now, but I don't anything interesting going on right now that yall want to hear.

Oh! I did have to go all the way to Northgate this morning BY MYSELF! to get a stinking SHOT! and drive back by myself. and the Lord helped me there too. seriously. It was amazing (: guess you just had to be there.

ok..if you read this..your a trooper and you seriously need a badge.

Til next time,
Tristan

ok so for some reason I can't upload anymore?? :( maybe I'll figure it out late (: lol

everyday I need you even more (:

Hello everyone (:
  Hope yall are having a wonderful Labor day! (: For me, its raining cats&dogs out there. I keep sneezing and my nose is runnin. My hair looks crazy. I'm super tired and Derrick is about to come over (: its great. (: Actually we're going to Chattanooga to get his wedding band!!!!!!! (: I am sooo exited! We went Wednesday night and picked it out and we both love it (: Just one more step closer to him being my husband. (: Its a great great feeling.

   Wedding planning is terrible though. lol I just wasn't made to be a fiance I don't guess. I hate everything about the whole wedding planning thing actually. And this semester is haaaaard. I have 4 hard classes. Well actually one extremely hard hard hard class. one class that I'm always having to write a paper for or do research for. one class that should be easy but i can't seem to do good on the tests to save my life. then one class that is super easy but i'm always having to study which isn't my strong point. lol BUT thankfully it will be over at Christmas and next semester is as easy as it gets. I have a class where I go to the elementary school, a  family and parenting class, a Bible class, then psychology which will be the hardest of all them, but I think I will enjoy it. I will also be married!!!! (: 4 months from tomorrow. Yes it's getting here (:

   We are waiting for cooler weather to arrive before we start painting/laying floor in our home. Dying from paint fumes and heat does not sound too appealing right now. (: but I am beyond excited to see it all come together. We bought (when I say we I mean Derrick. lol ) and small 2 bedroom 1 bath trailer. It needed some work but as far as we know, nothing we can't tackle (: Its cozy and I love it. Stew is convinced that he is getting his own room and he wants it painted green. Our shower curtain has green polka dots and i told him thats as close as it gets (: he's a good little brother. (:

   I've started us a registry now but its sooo overwhelming. I really need to start getting all of our showers together and invitations and such but its so hard with school going on at the same time. I am going to try to meet with Miss Lex tonight to look at some invites (: can't wait.

  Like I said earlier, we're about to leave to go get his ring then come back to go to a Labor Day party at his church (: I love his church. I'm not sure how long thats going to last, then hopefully come back and go visit lex (: Then school tomorrow. JOY. And I haven't slept at all hardly all weekend! so yes I'm sitting here with my eyes slightly closed (: so I'm not sure how much of this will make sense (:

Til next time (:
