carnations??

last night my mom, my aunt, my grandma and i went to a christmas decoration/craft thing at MCA. When we walked in we saw a table set up that was exactly my colors. but instead of roses, it had really really dark carnations. i'm not a big carnation fan, but these were gorgeous. Cuz when i said i want my colors to be black and white, and then have red roses, i meant super dark ones. but these carnations were fuller, and probably cheaper than roses. i loved them. if we can find them that's what we're having. i just hope now i can find em! so if anyone knows what kind they are let me know, cuz i'm obsessed!!

sooo excited!!

Tall timbers

So today Abby, my mom and i made a trip to Tall Timbers to check out the venue again. I'm really excited. The inside of the Lodge is gorgeous. The only issue is we're not supposed to leave candles burning, but they're just gonna have to deal with it... Also where we're having the ceremony is kind of confusing as to how we're gonna set up. but it'll be great. i don't really care as long as i get married.

Also me and justin are discussing cruise options. My favorite choice is an 8 day that leaves from New York, and goes to the eastern carribean. Plus we'll be getting a balcony so i'm also pretty excited about that. I LOVE CRUISES. yay.

OMG!

So i haven't been writing alot on here. But i have some news...i, jamie, am getting married! yay!

So i'm going to try to keep things posted as i'm going through my wedding process.

Justin and i got engaged on August 4th. He proposed to me at dundee falls under the falls :) it was fabulous. Right now we have alot of things planned: Caterer, Cake, DJ, venue, even the dress and bridesmaid dresses.

Now we kinda just have to wait til closer to finish up decorating and such. Soon we will be registering and booking a cruise (which is seeming to be a tougher thing than we figured). Let me just say, i can not wait.

Justin is being so helpful. Calling people and booking things. even when i haven't asked i'll see him and he'll say "i called so-and-so today" its so great that he's being so helpfull. especially since i hate calling people. He is just so great.

Yesterday we spent all day looking at cars. Mine is about to take a poop on me, so hopefully we can find something for a decent price that will be good for the long haul. that doesn't really have anything to do with weddings, but it's just so great to know that i'll be taken care of, and that i don't have to worry about making it on my own anymore.

Anyway, i am still trying to figure out the guest list. That's probably the most difficult thing. Because people assume they're invited, and you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But i'm trying to keep the budget really low. So far so good, but i hope no one is hurt if they don't get invited, because it's not that i don't want you there, it's just we're trying to watch how much we spend. Don't want to make Ruth and Lar-Bear go broke! :)

Plus! how do you decide who to invite? Some people you haven't seen in a long time, but you used to be really close with them. Others, you have to invited because your parents were invited to there kid's wedding...it's just really hard to keep the list down, and why make it go up if you know you probably won't talk to that person after you get married anyway? i dunno. it's just really tough. i just want to be surrounded by people i love, and that i know love me.

Well, i will leave it at that for now. I will keep you posted as we keep going along with things!

Life...so fragile...

I just found out that one of my ex-boyfriends passed away...I can't really wrap my head around it. I haven't seen or talked to him for over a year, so how am i supposed to feel when this happens? It doesn't really make my life any different. But thinking about what his parents, whom i loved, are going through makes me feel awful. Do i go to the services, knowing we didn't really end things on good terms? Do i send a card? But what does a card do?

We used to be best friends. Then we weren't. Then we both got new best friends, new loves. He was a great person, just not the person for me. I don't know what i feel, because he's not the same person to me that he once was. Isn't it weird how people change in our minds. If this would have happened 4 years ago i would be a mess. But its not. Now i have someone else to worry about. That if this could happen to my ex boyfriend, it could happen to me current one aswell. I pray everyday that it doesn't. That we'll live long healthy lives together. But you never really know.

I think i'll send a card.

...Randomness....

I'm super excited! me and justin were really nervous that he wouldn't have anybody call about his apartment. I prayed every night for a week that he would have people call, and that he'd get a really good tenant. He put the sign up monday and as of tuesday he's had 7 people call!! so now we'll just pray he gets a good one. not someone who will leave pee all over the bathroom!!

My car keeps falling apart though...now it's making a really funny smell. so lets hope it doesn't break down when i'm taking pudds to justins...

I hope adam wins american idol tonight!! gotta love that haircut...:)

I can't wait to get all my clothes for my bday....it's gonna be soopa awesome.

Me and abra cadabra are going to wallhouse tonight to eat some of their chipotle like burritos. I'm pretty excited about that too.

oh. something i'm not excited about. we're finally on the remodel list at work...but here's the kicker, it's not til february!! doesn't that blow? it'll be sweet once feb rolls around, but other than that, ya, it blows.

so i don't have much more to say. so have a good night.

...Love is...a bad cat in a grocery bag.

Bad Car Blues

my car is a piece of crap. last month i shelled out 4oo bucks on that bad boy after it left me stranded in st clairsville, missing a day of work, and therefore losing more money. and i had a very hard time forking over such money when i knew in a month's time it would need something else fixed.

although i was thinking it wouldn't literally be a month. but what ho! i'm putting up my window after driving to st clairsville again (maybe its something in the air) and woosh! it goes crashing down into the door. justin had to use needlenose pliars (sp?) to pull it back up, then shim it in place so it wouldn't go slamming down again.

oh! and not just that, but my fan doesn't go higher than level one. so i can turn the air on, but it just has a little tiny breeze, so basically no air. no window on the driver's side... i really need to consider saving up some money for a new car.

that would be all and good, except now i have a motorcycle payment....maybe i'll just have to make that my primary source of transportation. even in rain. i'll get one of those plastic trash bags to wear over my clothes. that'd be cute.

hmph.

Love is...if it's yellow, letting it mellow. :)

B.A. Music #2

You know what i love? i love it when i put in one of my random burnt CDs that i haven't listened to in ages and love every freakin song thats on it. Seriously. Cuz most of my CD's have a mixture of rap, rock, and emo. But the one i put in to day was mostly emo and it was mostly fabulous! It had paramore, shiney toy guns, the sounds, cute is what we aim for, and tons more. It really made my day.

For the most part, my CD's just have a random phrase or date on em, so i know which i burnt most recently. But last night i was bored with my most recent, and went back into the archives to pick out BA Music #2. Who knows if BA Music #1 is as good, but i seriously doubt it.

I don't know about you, but whenever i hear a random burnt CD it takes me back in time. I can usually remember what was going on in my life, and what time of year it was. Some i can't even listen to because i don't want to go back to that time. But the BA #2 takes me back to the perfect time. I remember listening to it as i was driving to St. Clairsville in the summer. Me and Autumm would jam to the songs when she'd come over for a photo hunt. It was pretty much perfect. Now if it would get warmer and i could start listening to music on the bike i would make some new memories with some new songs!

Well, i'm about to head out with Justin and his family to his mom's retirement dinner. (i wish i could retire!!)

....Love is....being the youngest people at Mehlman's and still enjoying every second of it.

New to Blogger!!

So here i am, in another website adventure! i've joined: xanga, twitter, myspace, facebook...now blog spot. we'll see how long this one lasts... don't get me wrong, i love me some facebook and it's slutty stepsister, myspace, but no one i know (besides my gal Allie...oh and my mom) has twitter, so i've kinda givin up on that.

i basically joined this because one of my besties gina is adopting another daughter and i wanted to follow her on here. Go to her page and make a generous donation at www.4heartsbeatasone.blogspot.com

Right now what i'm thinking about, besides how excited i am for gina, is how excited i am for myself because i get to see my boyfriend tomorrow!! He lives a little over an hour away from me, so every second i get with him i consider a complete blessing. He is my bestfriend. I love him. Every day i wonder if he truely understands how much i love him, becuz if he did he'd probably explode from love overload :)

Everytime i talk to him i love him a little bit more, whether we're talking about pups....or bad cats. I think we'd be committed if people would hear the things we talk about. But that's why i love him :)

Anyway, enough mush. I'll try and update as much as i can but i don't have a computer, so when i get the chance i will.
