There are 49 DAYS UNTIL OUR WEDDING! Ahh!
I remember looking at the calendar and seeing the number in the eighties and thinking, wow! that is so far away... we have so much time. But 49 days?! Oh My Goodness, it's right around the corner...
Besides the drama with Ashley's dress and taking mine in for alterations, our next task in making it down to the Indio Courthouse for our marriage license. I think after we get it, THEN I will feel like I'm getting married. At this point, I just feel tired and stressed like I'm planning a party or something. But it's our WEDDING for crying out loud! I feel like there are still endless things for me to get done, but in all actuality, we're almost done. I have a few decoration loose ends to tie up and finalize, making sure the dress situations are running smoothly, and I still have to take my ring in to be properly sized, polished, and have the prongs tightened. Exciting, isn't it?!
Oh, how I long for a day off where I can sleep in and wake up sleepy eyed and warm, cuddling next to my love. Perhaps I try and take tomorrow off. He has a three day holiday weekend coming up, and I am almost booked solid in September with dog sitting jobs (gotta pay off this wedding somehow, right?!) and bridal events. And once October hits, we are going to be running around like chickens with our heads cut off finalizing everything for the "big day" so there will be no time to relax. But let me tell you, the day after our wedding will be the best feeling since the night before when we said I DO. Like the WORLD is lifted off of our shoulders. And Mark and I vowed that we are going to spoil ourselves after this wedding is over... because gosh darnit, WE DESERVE IT.
PS. Shout out to Jean, since I know she actually reads this rambling blog! Love you, girlie!

yelling and screaming and dresses, oh my!
It is my firm belief that any Bride-to-Be should have a guaranteed, 100% free, unlimited & refillable prescription to anti anxiety medications. Who's with me?!
My dress came in and I am unfortunately going to have to have it altered on the sides at the bust line, along with my bustle. And unfortunately David's Bridal will NOT be getting my business. On top of paying a ridiculous amount of money for the dress itself, they were going to charge me $170 dollars for more alterations. First of all, I WANTED to order the next size up to have a little wiggle room, but nooooooooo, I left it up to the "professionals" to decide, and of course they want to squeeze every last dime out of you, let alone squeeze you into the original dress. SO, I will be taking my business else where, where they aren't going to charge me my first born child to fix a dress size that I didn't want to order in the first place. UGHHH.
ON TOP OF THAT,
Signature Bridal (yeah, that's right, I'm giving them their not-so-well deserved shout out) called me to let me know that "there was a flaw in Ashley, your maid of honor's, dress and it will not be arriving until the first week of October." I firmly replied with, "LADY, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE OUT OF YOUR MIND." They haven't seen Bridezilla until they see me, and let me tell you... after ripping them a you-know-what, and ME telling THEM how it's going to be, if they call me one more time to give me some lame excuse about a flaw in the fabric, so help me God, none of them will have heads after I leave that store. I told her that it is 100% her responsibility to get that dress to me by the end of this month and Ashley will be her number one priority for alterations after that. She will be in the day the dress comes in and it will be done BEFORE the first week in October. MY FLIPPING WEDDING IS THE SECOND WEEK OF OCTOBER. I told her this was all unacceptable, and I don't care who has to do what, but I want that dress by the end of this month. She continued to tell me the same story over and over again until I cut her off telling her we spent more that $1000 dollars in that store and although she says it takes 12-14 weeks to get any bridesmaids dresses in, we ordered the damn dress 12 weeks ago, and after October will be more then 14 weeks. Ashley hasn't even tried the dress on for crying out loud! She took a risk ordering it because THEY didn't have it in stock, and she is paying a hell of a lot of money for it in the first place for them to be making mistakes. In closing, I simply told her, "This is UNACCEPTABLE. You WILL have that dress to me by the end of September, and it will be YOUR responsibility to get it here. I don't want to hear anything else out of your mouth. The day that dress comes in, Ashley will be there for alterations, and she will be your NUMBER ONE PRIORITY."
By the time I got off the phone, by blood pressure was sky rocketing.
So now, after I get off of work, I will drive down to David's Bridal and pick up my wedding dress. Monday morning I am going to go to a recommended alterations place with hopes that it will be somewhat cheaper. Because quite frankly, I just might have to start paying these people with my unborn children because we are running out of money here, with all the damn vultures and all.

WWWWOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
MY WEDDING DRESS IS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh My Goodness.... I CANNOT WAIT TO GO TRY IT ON AGAIN!
We are coming SO close to the wedding and I am really starting to get excited :) I mailed out the invitations on Monday, went cake tasting and decided on a cake yesterday, and just got word that my wedding dress is in today! Wow... everything is actually happening. We are actually getting married. And I can't believe it's right around the corner...
The excitement is almost unbearable; I just want to jump up and down like a little girl and express all this built up excitement with screeches and screams, loud and clear, from the top to the bottom of my lungs!
Xoxo
Ps. Had fun with my little Pumpkin Head during the past two days... He is just too damn cute :)

55 days & counting...
Everything seems to be falling into place quite perfectly! Too perfectly, I should say... & it's beginning to make me a little nervous. You know, like, when something is too good to be true? Or if it seems to good to be true, it usually is? Ahhh, old wives tales, how you threaten me! I am staying on top of my game to make sure everything goes smoothly, or at least damn close to it.
My last task that is making me nervous is my flowers. I can't justify spending $540 on something that we are only going to see for ONE DAY and is going to DIE the next. First of all, I don't even like fresh flowers because they remind me of my mom's funeral. Second of all, that's a HELL of a lot of money! So here is the plan: we will take a trip to Costco the week (probably a couple days before) of the wedding and pick out some flowers for the bridesmaid's bouquets and perhaps slight decorations. I am going to buy a full orchid plant and clip the orchid flowers and make the groomsmen's boutiniers. The lattace arch will be silk flowers, and the head table will have small orchid plants on it, as the rest of the center pieces are candles. My bouquet, of course, will be real :) Sounds simple, right? RIGHT.
I'm feeling a little run down now that we are coming to the end of the planning process. I am going cake tasting with my suedo-mom, Jolene, on Tuesday and that's basically the last 'important wedding essential' thing I have to do. All the boys went and had their measurements for their tuxedos (btw, I am SO excited to see all the handsome men all dressed up, especially Mark!) and the girls' dresses should be in the last week of August or beginning September, same with my dress. Invitations are going out tomorrow morning, and RSVPs should be in by the middle of September. We will meet with David, the wedding coordinator, mid September with the final numbers and to discuss the menu. We finally have a DJ! Mark's friend from work is giving us a FAB deal, which I am extrememely thankful for, so we finished our music list, and have yet to make the timed list as in the entrance and specific dances, and so on and so forth. Mark's wedding band looks great! He is really excited about it, and it looks so cute on his "little sausage finger" (haha, that's what I tell him his fingers look like ;) ) and I have to take mine in to be polished and resized. & We will be taking the journey to the Indio Courthouse to get our marriage license in a couple weeks. Wow, I guess I still have a little more to do than I thought...!
Here comes the ulcer again...

Oh.my.lanta.
It has been a LONG weekend/week thus far. I would be okay if I never had to drive out of town again!
We drove up to Riverside to spend the day and have lunch with Mark's grandpa who celebated his 89th birthday on Sunday! Happy Birthday, Grandpa! Mark's brother, Chris, came up with the baby, too. I could not believe how excited Grandma and Grandpa were to see baby Dallas, their great-grandaughter :) Look at the smile on Grandpa's face!
I spent most of Monday with my future mother-in-law, Pat, running errands until Nathaniel got sick in the middle of the bank. What a learning experience for me! At least I know now the signs he gives me when he doesn't feel good :( I'm quite positive it was the humidity and in-and-out of the car all morning that upset his stomach... but let me tell you, it wasn't pretty! Special thanks to Pat and the girls at the bank for cleaning it up and understanding while I took Nathaniel to the bathroom and cleaned both him and I up! My poor little pumpkin head... By the time I got him wiped down, he looked at me and started laughing! The next day when Ashley dropped him back off he was as good as new, "Spongebob, Nina, SPONGEBOB!" So we enjoyed some snuggle time on the couch...
So after driving to Anaheim for Mark's tournament, Beaumont & Redlands for the boys, Riverside for Grandpa's birthday, Mark calls me on Tuesday (my last day off to do nothing...) and asks me if I would do his boss a favor and drive one of their new cars to San Diego and a different car back for the dealership. Of course! How could I say no to a guy who's helped us out with the wedding so much already?!
Needless to say, is it Sunday (my Friday) yet?!
Xoxo
Ps. Alan's memorial service was yesterday. It was beautiful... and I got to see his fiance, Brandy. Many thoughts and prayers going their way during this time.

To the Wedding God's above...
...after work, I am paying the remaining balance on my wedding dress. Let's pray that the arrival date is at least a couple weeks before my wedding, and even in that case, pray that I find a super fast seamstress to attach my bustle. *whrew* a few beads of sweat just fell from my head.
Who knew that planning/paying for a wedding would either 1. give you a heart attack or 2. give you an ulcer by your wedding day?!
My plan: one day at a time. & I plan to execute the afore mentioned "plan" to the best of ability.

Angels & Sunburns
If you were wondering if it is possible for ONLY your forearms to be sunburned, you long awaited questions is answered: yes. & I have the proof.
Yesterday was the happiest day of Mark's life (at least until he marries me!). He actually got to play in the Angels Stadium that he grew up watching on TV and from afar. He was given the opportunity to play a softball tournament for the St. Jude's Children's Hospital Charity Softball Tournament, via his manager and GM from work, Larry and Orie. The tournament consists of three games, and the winner of the tournament is based on how many runs were brought in. Mark's team came in FIRST PLACE, bringing in 50 runs total. He was excited that out of 50 runs, seven of them were his home runs! For not playing softball in awhile, he was definitely on his game. We traveled out there with his GM, Orie, and his boss & his wife, Larry and Candace. We had a great time, especially Candace and I playing paparazzi. (Pictures to come!)
On a not-so-chipper note,
I lost a good acquaintance this past weekend. Alan Gerber, who was engaged to a friend of mine and whom I worked with for the past two years, passed away over the weekend. Unfortunately, as it seems, he took his life on Saturday evening at his home. My heart aches for his fiance Brandy, her family, and his family as well. My thoughts and prayers are with all of them as they go through the hardest time of their life. Rest in Peace, Alan...

Life: expect the unexpected
66 days & counting.
For the first time in I couldn't tell you how long, I accepted the fact that I needed a break. I actually used my days off from work to my advantage and only did the minimal housework I needed to do. In fact, during one of my days off I spent the entire day in my bat cave laying on the couch. & You know what? I loved every second of it.
66 days. WOW. The excitement comes in waves; this morning I was blow drying my hair and thought to myself what it was going to be like the morning of my wedding day doing that very same thing and a wave of excitement rushed over me, giving me a few little butterflies in my stomach while Mark slept so peacefully in our bed in the next room over. Everything still seems so surreal sometimes. I have found someone, and no matter who you ask, they will tell you, "I can't see you with anyone else for the rest of your life except Mark." THAT is a wonderful thing to hear, especially when I feel the exact same way. And isn't that what I'm supposed to feel like? Isn't that what marriage is? What love is? I constantly repeat to myself sometimes: I am getting married. I AM getting married. I AM GETTING MARRIED?! Why yes, yes I am. I am the future Mrs. Jessica Ann Herrick. It has a nice ring to it, dontcha think?
Today's tasks to be accomplished: music list, cake ideas, & floral arrangements.

Baby Fever
DON'T DRINK THE WATER!
It's been baby fever around here, let me tell you! We had such a busy week with babies, hospital visits, births, phone calls, check up visits... I'm exhausted! If I could take my coffee intravenously, trust me I would.
So Heather & Jake have comfortably made it home and I can't wait until Monday when I can go back up to Beaumont to visit them! Those boys take my breath away... so I have NO PROBLEM driving up there to go see them :) Besides, I want to help Heather with errands, laundry, cleaning, etc. because Lord knows it is NOT going to be easy with 3 little darlings to look after.
Mark is absolutely IN LOVE with our little niece, Dallas. She is the cutest little tiny bundle of adorable-ness I have ever held in my hands. And Mark and I literally argue over holding her. Ridiculous, I know, but if you saw this little girl in person, you would want to scoop up all 6lbs of her porcelain doll looking self, too, trust me. Chris, Misty, & Dallas are home from the hospital as well, although it didn't take them long to meander over to our house :) And once Ashley got word of the baby coming over, she was over faster than you can say zippitydodah five times rapid speed. She, too, is having baby fever... but Nathaniel is more than a good toddler fix for me for the time being. That kid beats me up, tackles me, kisses me, and I love every second of it.
So after this week, the burning question is, "when are you and Mark going to have a baby?"
Answer: When God says we are ready to.

PS. Here are a couple of pictures of Dallas from their visit last night...

Today is going to be great! My beautiful friend Heather will give birth to her beautiful twin boys... & I for one CANNOT WAIT to see them :)

My First Blog!
As far back as I can remember, I was never good at keeping journals, needless to say I was always paranoid that either my mother or my big brother would find it and read my deepest, darkest secrets I could only tell my 'journal'. But here I am now, grown up and on the road to marriage, and thinking it's about time I wake up and smell the 21st Century and get with technology! Time to start a BLOG...
I decided to create this blog, because 1. I find myself quite addicted to Facebook and this gives me a reason to stay off of that website and focus on something else, and 2. because I thought it would be fun to let all of you in on what's going on in my life, from family, to pictures, to up-to-date wedding details.
Wedding.
It's wasn't until recently that the word WEDDING would give me butterflies... As a little girl, you dream of finding "the one" and planning your wedding with your closest girlfriends on what your wedding dress will look like and what your bridesmaids will wear and what kind of flowers you love. And then it happens in what seems like an instant; everything you've ever dreamed of is coming true. Granted, I never realized how expensive it would be and how much work it consists of, but in the long run I know EVERYTHING will be worth it. Once I see the look in Mark's eyes when I walk down that isle, nothing else will matter to me anymore. That will be the first day of the rest of our lives.

It's wasn't until recently that the word WEDDING would give me butterflies... As a little girl, you dream of finding "the one" and planning your wedding with your closest girlfriends on what your wedding dress will look like and what your bridesmaids will wear and what kind of flowers you love. And then it happens in what seems like an instant; everything you've ever dreamed of is coming true. Granted, I never realized how expensive it would be and how much work it consists of, but in the long run I know EVERYTHING will be worth it. Once I see the look in Mark's eyes when I walk down that isle, nothing else will matter to me anymore. That will be the first day of the rest of our lives.
Xoxo
