Wow...A Great MLK Jr. Day! in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

You would not believe the great day I had yesterday on MLK Jr. day. The day started out with wedding dress shopping. I went with one of my best friends, her mom, and another one of my best friends. It was great because she found her dress and it looks absolutely perfect on her. Plus, we found our bridesmaids dresses! We couldn't believe our luck! I looked a little weird in my dress because I had my <a title="http://www.jaynesstyle.net/s

What If My Life Was Different? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

This whole late night drama stuff over the Tonight Show has got me thinking about my life lately. I've been wondering what my life would be like if different circumstances had occured in my life or if I had made different choices. How different would my life be? What would I be doing differently right now? For example, what if I had decided to become a cosmetologist i

Going to the Museum in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I loved going to the Cincinnati Museum Center this past week. My husband and I got to go for free because of our Enjoy the Arts membership that my husband and got me for Christmas. This was the first time we've used it and we instantly realized what a gift it was. We've been recommending it to all of our friends. <span

My Best Friend's Maid of Honor in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

My best friend's maid of honor just so happens to be me. The bride is actually my cousin, but we are more like sisters. We have been inseparable since birth, and we are a lot alike. She was in my wedding, but not as the maid of honor unfortunately. That role had to fall to my real sister. But my cousin sure acted like the maid of honor through the entire process. That's why I would like to

Goals for 2010 in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

We're well into 2010 now, and its about time I told you what my new year's resolutions are. I've been trying to decide which goals are the most realistic ones I can achieve, and I've set out a game plan on how to achieve the goals I've set practically. I find that it helps my self-confidence more if I set realistic goals as opposed to far-fetched ones.</sp

Birthday and Engagement in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

This weekend has been a celebratory weekend for me. My husband and I have been having such a great time celebrating with people that we love for different reasons. One of the reasons we were celebrating this weekend is because it was my mom's birthday on Friday. She turned 61 years old! She's a 15 year breast cancer survivor, so every birthday of hers is a big deal for us.

Sad Snowy Day in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

It's a sad time of year for me right now. You might think this is sill, but I'm sad to be putting our Christmas decorations away. I never like taking them down because it makes me sad to come to terms that the Christmas season is over. I just like spending time with my family so much that I never want it to end. However, I do like starting a new year and the excitement that comes along with that. I also like working with my husband to find sp

Starbucks is my Mother Russia in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Is it totally rediculous that Starbuks feels like the motherland to me lol. I just love being here so much. Not only do I love the environment here, I love all the things I can do here. I can go there to work, to meet up with friends, to go on dates with my awesome husband, or to just relax. It can get kind of busy, but that doesn't really bother me. I just put in my head phones and listen to some music. Today I've been working, blogging, and people watchin

The World of Jane Austen in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I've been watching a lot of Jane Austen movies lately, and I'm trying to figure out why. Obviously, the ridiculously romantic endings have something to do with it lol. But I think I also really love watching how love between two people develops. Austen does an amazing job of having her hero and heroine come together despite all odds. Not rank, or station, or hardships can keep them apart and I love that.

The New Year Has Started in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

The new year is here again. I say again because it felt like 2009 went by in such a flash that I can hardly believe it. I feel whip lashed lol. But nonetheless, I'm excited to start anew. I'm excited to be faced with new challenges, new experiences, and to grow as a person. I'm not looking forward to the bad times that will certainly come. I only wish to be able to recover quickly from those. But I am looking forward to

A Little Recovery Before New Years in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

It's taken me a little while from the craziness that was my Christmas holiday this year. It didn't help that I got sick the day after Christmas and have been trying to recover from that as well. Not that it wasn't a great Christmas, because it was, it was just an exhausting one. It felt so good to come home after it was all over. My husband and I spent a few hours cleaning our house (its gets pretty dirty when we have to prepare to travel somewhere) and then just laid

Christmas Gifts This Year in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I can't believe how gracious our friends and family were to us this year. You would not this our poor economy had affected them at all, although I'm sure it has. We are so blessed to have such generous family and friends. They really liked our gifts too, which made the holiday even better. It's been such a great Christmas, and I'm so thankful for that. Among the many gif

Merry Christmas to All! in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

What a great Christmas day its been! I just have to mention on here how great our presents went over on our recepients this year. Specific the ones we ordered online. I was scared to order gifts online, but it totally worked out. I even ordered the stuff kind of late, and they still came on time. They all showed up yesterday before my husband and I had to leave for our Christmas traveling. Way to be online stores! Thank you so much!

Waiting Til The Last Minute in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Today is my last chance to get some Christmas shopping done. Today is the day that I shop for anyone whom I've forgotten or haven't found that perfect present for yet. I've actually gotten most everyone's presents shopped for and wrapped. Unless I'm forgetting some one, the only person I have left to shop for today is my husband's older brother. He's pretty eccentric so we had a hard time finding him the perfect present. He has a lot of interests, but th

Crazy Christmas Shopping in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

It's Christmas time again. It seems like it always comes faster every year. That is also because, it actually does come faster every year. I think I saw some houses with Christmas lights up in October! That is ridiculous. My biggest struggle with Christmas time is getting gifts for everyone that they will actually like. I always want to give good gifts that people would actually like and not gifts that just generically fit some hobby they have. I like

Be Giving in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

My husband and I have been so stressed lately trying to get all of our Christmas shopping done. Unfortunately, we've been way to bogged down with the stress of the holiday than the joy of it. This really came out the other day while we were doing some of our Christmas shopping after he got off work. However, while we were shopping that we were struck by something. We realized that almost every store we went into had a giving tree put up at the front of the stores for c

Movies To Me in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

In my opinion there are few things as entertaining in this world as movies. Probably most people would agree with me on that point, but they probably don't love movies as much as I do. I have always loved movies, since I was a little girl until now. I don't think that's going to change anytime soon. Actually, watching movies is something my husband and I love to do together on our date nights. I absolutely love getting lost and caught up in the movie that I'm wat

Celebrating Christmas with Best Friends in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

So often Christmas just flies by, doesn't it? It's like out of nowhere its happens and it leaves you wondering where it went.

To Be or Not To Be the Nanny in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I am really struggling a with the question of whether or not to do a certain job. This past summer my brother and sister-in-law asked me to be their nanny. They asked if I would be their nanny starting in January for my now 3 month old niece. When they asked me to do this I was out of a job so it was a very generous and kind offer on their part because they were trying to help me out. Unfortunately, the circumstances have changed in my life and my husband and

Needs to Get It Done for Christmas in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

My husband and I moved into our new home this past July. As soon as we moved in, we started our new jobs, so weren't really able to get any work done on our place. We just stuck stuff where ever it would fit, and kept saying we would do it next week lol. However, my husband and I are very lucky to have the careers that we do. My husband is a teacher, so he gets a lot of breaks, including the Christmas break that is coming up here soon. I work

Christmas for Nurse Friends in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Christmas shopping can be hard. Sometimes its because of the people you have to buy for, other times its just because you've waited until the last minute. Well, this year its the latter for me. Well, thanks to Black Friday I've gotten some of my shopping done but not even close to all of it. It is down to the wire for me, and I need to get it together lol. Luckily, I have been brianstorming lately as to what I should get for the nurses among my fam

A Wedding with Friends in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

The greatest wedding ever occured last night. It was such a cool experience for both my husband and I. We were in our best friends' wedding as a bridesmaid and groomsmen. That hardly ever happens to us, so we were really happy that it did. We were so busy during the whole day preparing for the wedding, but it was a fun experience. The bridesmaids and bride started our day around 7:30 am, but the groomsmen didn't get started until around 10:30 am. We bridesmaids were really jealous of th

Babies and Weddings Are The Best in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I have been really busy this past week, and I'm totally exhausted from it all. However, the business was cause by really good events. We had two weddings that my husband and I are both a part of this week. Of course, with weddings its not just a wedding that you have to go to, its the showers, the rehearsal dinner, getting fitted for your dress/tux, picking up said dress/tux, etc. One of the weddings was Thursday during the day, which was for my husband’s pare

Happy Late Thanksgiving in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Thanksgiving with my husband and the rest of my family this past weekend was so great. My husband and I usually have to do a lot of traveling on Thanksgiving, and this year was no exception. The traveling didn't used to bother us, but its starting to take its toll on us. We can't wait until we have kids and they have to come visit us lol. Anyway, we woke up around seven a.m. to get our share of the cooking done to bring to my family's house. Then we got ready and realized
