Honeymoons booked... we are a go!

Well Mark and I have officially gotten our passports and itinerary for going to Jamaica!! This is my first ever passport! I feel accomplished in life! :D We are going to go to Sandals Grande Ocho Rios! We will be there for entire week.. and I often go to the sandals website and get very very excited about going!!!




Doesn't it just look romantic and fun!!!! Its an all-inclusive so its going to be great knowing that for a week of fun, we won't have to worry about money! Just being together!!

Here is our room layout!!! It shows that we will have a pool outside our door! So that is very exciting!! That way after a long day at the beach if we are tired and just want to stay close to our room at night, we can take a refreshing dip in the pool! Yay!

Wedding Gitters

So ever since I got engaged it seems like alot of my married friends are going through divorces or troubling issues which could lead into a divorce. Some have been married for a while, while others haven't even made it to a year yet! I know that Mark and I will make it. I know that deep in my heart... But its still scary to be planning your wedding and then get terrible news from close friends about how they are going through this horrible time.. It seems like in todays time marriage isn't a taken as a sacred commitment. I was raised on the concept that marriage/wedding was a one time deal. You make that commitment there isn't any turning back. It seems like now its a.. "well lets take the next step and try it out" kind of deal. Its definatly scary, and sad. My heart goes out to all those couples that are struggling and dealing with these issues. Whenever I am bummed by such news, Mark knows exactly how to make me feel better and I think he understands my concern. Has anyone else felt this way before?

Aunt Me to the rescue

This weekend I am going to Madisonville, KY to help my mom take care of my nieces and nephews. Its going to be complete mayhem. Julie and Bill went to San Fransisco, CA for a get away trip, and my mom volunteered to watch the little ones. You may not know my sister and her kids but its always crazy at her house. I mean you have a house with 4 kids under the age of 5, it gets interesting and crazy all at the same time. I'm not going to get there until Saturday morning. I decided I'll try and make chocolate chip cookies with Bailey and Jake, from scratch. Saturday night we are going to travel to Dickson and stay the night at Mom and Dad's house.

As for Friday night, Whitney has prepared an awesome surprise 21st birthday party for her boyfriend Justin. She rented out the tap room in Clarksville from 6:30 until about 10. The tap room is a bar for those who are not in Clarksville. It should be pretty fun. I've always wanted a surprise party while growing up.... I hope Justin is surprised!

This Sunday will be our last Lifenight for the church group that I am in charge of. We are having a movie night and are going to watch "The Passion of Christ." I told the teens to wear their PJ's but lets see how many actually wear their PJs since we are going to church first. :D haha

Yesterday I joined the skype group. I got a new computer because apparently when you drop a laptop it breaks! Who would have thought! Puh! I was shocked. So I got a new one with a web cam and thought "why not!" So I'm hoping to get some friends with web cams and goof off with it. It'll def. be handy for the friends that don't live around me and have kids and stuff like that, so you can see them and talk face to face. :D So much better than using the phone.

Also yesterday, Marks dog was at my house and I love him to death however he is NOT a house dog. He decided to make my coffee table into a chew toy. Wasn't that nice of him?? grrr... I was really frustrated.. At Marks house he normally leaves him outside but at my house I can't do that because I'm in the middle of a neighborhood, so he's a bit trapped.

Well that's my first blog. I'm sure they will get shorter some times and sometimes longer.. but hope you enjoyed!
