I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

I am the world's WORST blogger! I can't even remember the last time I posted which is terrible! But WOW I have lots to catch up on! I will probably make a few different posts over the next few days to cover everything. Biggest news: We got married May 21st at 6:30  p.m.!! That's right, I am now Mrs. Volheim! :) It was amazing!(The wedding will be a whole post in itself with the pictures and details). We left the morning after the wedding for our honeymoon.(Another independent, detailed post to come) We spent a week in the Bahamas, and just got back Sunday night at 11. I went right back to work Monday and have been busy since then. Stephen went back to work yesterday, and got his promotion today! I'm now the proud wife of Senior Airman Volheim! Now we're just trying to get back in the swing of things, I finally got the apartment cleaned up and laundry done. But now i'm in the middle of the painfully annoying process of getting everything changed over to my married name(They really should come up with a better, simpler system for this!). I have about a billion thank you notes to write and we're trying to find a new rental house, because we have to be out of our apartment by June 21st... so it hasn't slowed down much, but I'm crossing my fingers that it will once we get this move over with! We can relax and enjoy our summer and married life!

Since I missed so much, I'm going to start recapping the major events. Tonight I'll do my bachelorette party! It was amazing! I have the best friends and family! My little sister, Lindsay and close friends, Scotti and Mandy, planned an incredible night! We started at the Ale House for dinner. Everyone else wore black and I was in pink, complete with a pink veil and "bachelorette" sash the girls got for me.

Then we went back to a friend's house and had cocktails, chatted, and had a lingerie shower. Got lots of cute things but i'll show you my favorite:

My dad got these for me and sent them with my mom! The tag read: "For your honeymoon night Love, Dad" Needless to say, they were pretty much the hit of the night!

After that, we headed out to the beach to go out for the evening! First and only stop: Capt'n Fun's Pensacola Beach!

We had a blast! After all the dancing we could take, we headed back in, but had to stop and paint the 17th Avenue Graffitti Bridge first... it was like being in high school again!

Whew! We ended the night back at the house, tried to watch the movie wedding date, but we only made it about 10 minutes before we were all passed out! It was great! Up early the next morning and spent some girl time chatting. Best way to spend my last weekend as an unmarried woman!!!

Time to go spend some time with my HUSBAND! :) We're celebrating his promotion tonight, so I promise to finish catching up the blog tomorrow, complete with wedding pictures!!

Here we go...

It's already MAY!!... *MAY*.... Our wedding month! Holy wow.. 19 more days. I'm getting less and less sleep(obviously!). I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about things I need to get done. I have nightmares that something is going to go wrong. We spend our evenings discussing last minute details and day dreaming about how great it will be to be married. *SIGH*.. Only 19 short days left!

Luckily I have my new job to keep me busy! I'm still getting used to full time hours without school. Speaking of no school. Graduation was this weekend and it was amazing! Got up early Saturday for the 9:30 graduation, went to lunch with my amazingly wonderful family, came home took a nap, went to the mall, then.. SURPRISE! Stephen had planned a surprise graduation party for me! :) This was a first for him. He has tried to surprise me in the past and I always figure it out(except for when he proposed! I have managed to pull off a surprise for his last 3 birthdays, so the fact that he got me was awesome! I appreciate everyone who helped him pull it off! This weekend was perfect!

Sunday we slept in then enjoyed the day at the beach. We were wiped out so instead of cooking we went for Chinese then watched a movie at the house. Perfect ending... so we thought. We were just getting into bed last night when thanks to facebook we knew to turn on the news to see that Osama Bin Laden has finally been served justice. Truly a perfect ending to a perfect weekend. I will never forget that. I'm always proud to be American and especially to be engaged to an airman, but today I was even more so. I know this isn't the end. The war on terror is just beginning, but this was a huge victory for America and I am so grateful to all of our troops both home and away!
"Make it home, Make it safe!" I love that this happened on May 1st.. the start of Military Appreciation month! I appreciate my military, and if you don't... well you know what I say. "If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them!" ;) God bless you all, you're always in my prayer(this counts for all you milspouses too! One of the hardest jobs in the military!)

Ok, definitley bed time. I've been going to the gym at 6 before I get ready for work, so I'm gonna need some sleep! I promise not to disappear anymore! I'm back in the blogging world, and plan to reveal my work blog soon which should be a whole new adventure! Happy Monday y'all!

Monday, Monday, Monday

Oh Monday you came again too soon! We had a fabulous weekend! Unfortunatley I am slacking with picture taking, but that's because I discovered my digital camera is broken. My sweet sweet fiance bought us a new one so we would have one for the honeymoon, and I can't wait for it to get here!!! :) He got a great deal on it from eBay too.. he also became addicted to eBay in the process which isn't so good! Haha

Today I was off of school and work(I know, crazy!!) It was so nice. Crossed several things off my list for the wedding. Finished a take home final, cleaned the apartment, got in a nice long work out, AND got to lay out with my sweet cousin, Mandy for a couple hours! Wonderful day!

Now my work week gets in full swing tomorrow and my last finals are Wednesday! I don't even care because I graduate on Saturday! Woo hoo! :)

My current major items to cross off the wedding list: Marriage license(pretty crucial, right?) and finding some really cute jewelry for my bridesmaids to go with their dresses.

Oh, oh, oh! I forgot we got our first 2 wedding gifts today! :) So exciting!!! I can't believe how close it is!!!!!!

Well anyway, it's sadly my bedtime already! I promise to catch up again soon, I know I have been a slacker!

Happy Monday y'all! :)

Fun giveaway to check out..

Before I head to work today, I saw this giveaway on one of my favorite blogs, This Kind of Love. Jamie over @ This Kind of Love is going away a copy of the movie Fireproof. If you haven't heard of the movie, it's about a married couple who find themselves struggling in their marriage, so the husband's dad issues him a challenge called, The Love Dare.

It's a 40-day challenge to strengthen their marriage. I have actually yet to see the movie, but my soon to be mother in law saw it several months ago and told us we should really watch it before we get married next month.

Since a lot of my blog friends are either engaged, moving in that direction, or newlyweds, I thought this would be a cool thing for everyone to check out! To enter the giveaway is easy! Head over to This Kind of Love and follow her, then add a comment on the giveaway post. For an extra entry post about the give away on your blog. Easy enough! :) Good luck everyone and have a wonderful day!

And now a bit early..

Not enough time in the day these days, so when I get a second, I'll just go ahead and write both! :) How is it already Thursday?!? Head over and link up with Nicole@ Flip Flops and Combat Boots for Thursday 5!!This week's words: Dazzling

Spectacular

Terrific

Perfect

Ecstatic

 

1) We went to see Disney on Ice tonight with my wonderful cousins and the show was Dazzling!! We had such a good time, and the best part was playing with sweet baby boy Trae! He is such a little doll! He definitley keeps us all entertained!

 2) (Other than this morning) The weather has been Spectacular!! Warm and sunny, but thankfully not too hot and humid yet! 3) I finished ALL of my undergrad assignments as of yesterday and it feels Terrific!! Just my finals now and I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! 4) Tonight, I get off work at 5 and I don't have to work anywhere else! :) Perfect night at home with my almost hubby is what we have planned! I'm cooking a yummy dinner and then we'll watch a movie.. can't wait for quittin' time tonight! :) 5) Today OFFICIALLY marks exactly ONE month til our wedding!!! Words can't describe how ECSTATIC I am!!!!!  I know my Thursday 5 seems pretty redundant the last few weeks, but I promise my life will change soon! After next week, no more school!! So I'll be working full time and hopefully have more interesting things to talk about. And in just a month we'll be married so no more wedding talk, just newlywed stories! Bear with them.. I'm in the middle of some HUGE changes, but I'll be more interesting soon I promise!!  Happy Thursday y'all! :)

Just barely made it..

AGAIN!! My life has been so crazy this week that I just barely make it in time for my favorite link ups! And sadly, I haven't found time to write a real post... BAD! I will catch up soon, promise!! But for now, without further ado, What I'm loving Wednesdays!!

There's a LOT to be loving this Wednsday! 

I started my new job, and I'm seriously loving it!

I'm loving that I turned in my LAST under grad presentation EVER today!!(However, I'm not loving these last few finals standing between me and graduation!!)

I'm loving that I finally made myself decide on shoes for my bridesmaids! One thing to mark off the wedding check list! Which is good since we're officially at 30 days!!

 

And of course, I'm always loving my sweet, sweet boys!!

 

Happy Wednesday y'all! :)

Quick Monday hello!

Hello all! I know I have been M.I.A. since Thursday(very BAD on my part!) But I was in Panama City Beach all weekend working for my dad at the SeaBreeze Jazz Festival with my cousin, Mandy. It was a loooong weekend of working, but we did manage to sneak in some fun! :)

Got home late last night and had to be up early this morning... started my first day at my NEW job!! (YES, I did get the job I interviewed for last week!! :)) I'm so excited! The people are so nice, and I love the work so far. Also, I got good news when I went in this morning that they decided to pay me more than they initially had said! The downfall is now I have to quit my current job. I'm going in the morning to put in my 2 weeks and it's going to be sad. I really loved the people I worked with!

I finally talked Stephen into moving the month after the wedding so I'm already in the process of looking at houses.. I love starting fresh in a new house! :) On the same note, we're now just over ONE month away from our wedding! WOW! So much still to do.

This is my last week of classes, just one presentation and 2 finals seperate me from graduation next Saturday! Since I was gone all weekend I'm in the process of catching up on some cleaning, laundry, organizing, and homework/wedding stuff. Needless to say I'm one more thought away from a mild panic attack! So I apoloize in advance I will probably be M.I.A. again this week since I work everyday until Sunday and need to wrap up homework and last minute wedding details.. hopefully I'll have a more interesting post soon.. i'm almost DONE!! :) Happy Monday y'all!
