Second chances

People are funny. Most people when they run into hard times or "issues" tend to run towards the people that are there. Rather than the people who have been there for them (or ARE there for them). Then typical people go with the people that are "there" for a while until a few months or years have gone by and they realize they still are not happy and they made some wrong choices. After finally realizing this, these people try to re-connect with the people that were actually there for them at all times (those whom they abandoned however long ago). I am currently in this situation and am having difficulty figuring out what to do. I have been on both sides of this coin, most recently I am on the "I was there for them and they want me back" side, but in the past I have (many times) been on the flip side. So I ask you, what do I do? The person I am referring to totally DESTROYED the bridge she built with me. She was my assistant and quit in the same week she had a deadline to get a bridesmaid dress for my wedding and failed to subsequently kicking herself out of my wedding. It has been only a few months now and I am still very hurt/disappointed in her. I do not know what to do. Now, she wants to come back and work for me again (not gonna happen b/c she's been replaced; but she wants to atleast come back to the company) and she is trying to befriend me via text messages and voicemails. What do I do? In my opinion, she does not deserve a second chance. Mind you, I gave her several chances when she should have been fired while working for me as well as several chances in our friendship. But...everyone deserves a second chance, right? I feel as though so many people have given me a second chance so many times I should be the first one to offer it up. I just don't want to get hurt/disappointed again. This person had a big role in my life for over a year and totally flipped it on me. (and yes, she DID file for unemployment. She said she got fired. AND she was granted it!) So, I need your help. Second chance or no? Comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I am slowly going crazy...

13 days until my BIG day!! This is getting ridiculous! I cannot sit at my desk and work! I have 8 working days left before I get off for my wedding and I still cannot concentrate! I am looking up wedding advice, how to focus on work right now, everything!! I DO NOT know how I will get through the next 2 weeks!! Oh my goodness. I am sick of myself talking about it and thinking about it ALL the time, but I can't help it! I want to have all my meetings now, finish my programs tonight and get married tomorrow!!! I just can't wait! This is ridiculous. I don't know how to concentrate or how to stay sane!!
I am so excited for all the family that will be coming from all over too! I think when all the cousins are graduated and married in the next few years we will have to start making up reasons to go visit one another once a year! So far, it has worked out pretty well for us! I guess at least one of us will have to have a baby every year! haha.
I cannot focus....
It kind of sucks....
If you have any good advice on how I can stay sane, it would be greatly appreciated. At home I can clean and find other things to do, so I just need advice on how to focus at work PLEASE!!!

Anyways...thanks for reading! More Amazing Adventures to come!!!

Yes, I am THAT girl!

17 days till my wedding! YES! I AM "that" girl who cannot stop thinking, talking, BREATHING about my wedding!! So if you don't want to hear it, you may want to not talk to me until after July 25th!!
There. You have been warned!!

On a side note, I have been thinking about getting a new house lately...I really want one. I know it's probably 4-5 years down the road, but if we really want it to happen we have to start planning it now! I want a 2 story with a basement<- (that has no problems) with wood flooring. Atleast 4 bedrooms because we're having atleast one more child and we need an office. 5 bedrooms would be nice too though! I plan on buying "used" as opposed to new because I like older houses better and they are cheaper. Hopefully we can find a nice house in a surrounding town so Jess and I can keep our same jobs and just have a longer commute. Definately NOT in Fort Wayne though! A big yard is a must with an area that's fenced in of course. It get me excited just thinking about the possibilities and the fact that if we start planning now we can do it in like, 4 years!

I have also decided that although we have already outgrown our current house we are going to go ahead with the plan of not preventing getting pregnant starting on our honeymoon! EXCITING!! We have a spare room right now so we could fit another member into our family. We definately need to PURGE some major stuff to accomplish that, but I guess that's the great thing about being pregnant is that you WANT to do those kinds of things! (Nesting mode)

So many life changes to think about!

Stay tuned for many more AmaZIng ADveNTurES!!!

I need a time machine!!!

HeLLo!!!
Just dropping by to say hello...

I need a time machine to transport myself to the 23rd...or maybe the 22nd since I get my facial that day. I am WAY too anxious and excited for my wedding week/honeymoon!

I got to go to the spa on Saturday for the first time thanks to my bridesmaid Kari! :) It was AWESOME!!! I really did feel like a new woman when I walked out! Every girl should get a facial and massage at some point and brides should get a facial a couple days before their wedding. I felt SO pretty afterwards even without make-up!

We got rid of both puppies already...it was a little early but we had to get rid of them..Jess and I were getting no sleep and Bella was miserable. They are in very loving and caring homes now so I know they will be well taken care of! Back to somewhat normal life at the house, although Jack asks about the puppies quite a bit..hopefully he'll forget soon?!

I love my family...my sister and mom had a really great family bridal shower for me on Sunday in southern Indiana and although only us and 3 other people were there it was great because I haven't seen those ladies in a long time and I love them so much! Also my grandma and great aunt can't make it to the wedding so I got to celebrate with them there! Johnny Carino's... YUMMY!! Their spicy garlic tilapia is SO GOOD!!! The server was excellent too and my sister and mom said he "liked" me. They said they could tell because I asked him to take a picture with me and apparently the look on his face was an excited one!

Life is going great and I appreciate all the people that are with me for the ride and helping along the way!
