My Fiance is truly the best
I am so lucky to have such an amazing man who I get to spend the rest of my life with
Last night I came home from work and Bret had everything laid out for me to make dinner, He wrote a special message on the bathroom mirror and he got me a rose! He is so thoughtful and loving! He is always thinking of me and wants me to feel special all the time. I love him more than I could ever explain and I cant wait to be his wife.
I am truly a pain but he never gives up on me or us! He always pushes through and loves me more with each passing day! We only have 30 more days until our wedding and I can not wait
I love you Bret thank you so much for all that you do. You are my everything

Very sweet Gesture
Yesterday I recieved a text from Bret's Step mom saying that I needed to call her
I let her know that I would after I got off work.
I was a little nervous not knowing what it was she was needing to talk to me about because we havent really talked a lot, only when she has called Bret and I was there.
So I called her after work and was suprised by what she had to say
She wanted to throw me a Bridal Shower.. I thought this was so sweet
I never really thought about having one because since we had such a short amount of time to plan the wedding I couldnt imagine fitting in a bunch of different get to gethers either but I am happy that is trying to be a part of the wedding and do something special for Bret and I.
The Bridal shower will be co-ed so men and woman will be there with Bret and I and i think that will be great. I am pretty excited about it. I think that it will be a lot of fun.
The shower will be about a week before the wedding so that is putting a lot of stuff into a little bit of time but I think it will be great! I am getting really excited time is flying by we only have 36 days until the wedding
I changed my mind on what I wanted for the centerpieces but I think this idea will go so much better, it will actually save us money and be better for safety and more simple. Which is what I love!
MY WEDDING DRESS is done being altered so I need to go pick it up
My parents are kicking butt on getting the whole house put together for the wedding. They are going crazy on updating everything and making it so beautiful. I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful family who will do anything for me. My nana has been coming up everyday to pull the horrible weeds! I cant believe all that she has done either!
We need to buy gifts for the family, parents and I need to get something special for Bret
I am going to put together a wedding box to have all the little things I need for the wedding day because I am so scared I am going to forget something. I am also going to try my hardest to get the house totally organized before the wedding. I also need to start planning for our honey moon and make sure that I have everything ready for that so that we can have a great week together with no worries!
I am getting excited and it is starting to feel real, i have a hard time sleeping and i dream about my wedding all the time but its a lot of fun and I enjoy it. I know that I am going to be really sad once it is all over. I am really enjoying all the family time and doing something with my mom every week we will just have to keep it up and eventually start a baby wednesday :)
My mom and I have gotten a lot closer doing all this wedding stuff and I really enjoy it!
I hope everyone loves our wedding day and truly enjoys themselves and feels all the love because a lot of time and LOVE is going into it

My eyes are turning red...
FROM ALL THE CRYING
I have become the biggest cry baby ball of stress ever and I am about to fully explode. I am slowly exploding at the seams. I am so stressed with all this wedding stuff and yesterday only made it worst.
I went to my mom's house and we began our wedding Wednesday by running to the mall with my sister to try and find me some earrings but we ended up just getting my sister something and having to leave to go pick up my mom's friend Nancy who took the day off to spend with us shopping. We then went to the send out card tour which was really nice and inspiring and something that I really need to get more involved in because it is going to take off really soon, I can feel it. They served us lunch and some great snacks so I was ready for the day.
After leavings the SOC tour we went to my nan's to pick up some stuff for my mom and hang out with my Cooper puppy for a bit. We talked about the Arch that my nana is making us for the wedding and I know it will just be Beautiful!! Then we had to hurry home to get Nancy's daughter (who is so so cute) and wait because a man was coming to rent the boat.
I went with Nancy to get her daughter and when I got back to my mom's I was greeted with the horrible news that ruined the day!!!
We got the estimate back from the lady doing the food, cake, decorations, and service at the wedding!! $3400.00!! Then another $700.00 for the flowers! I freaked out I could not imagine that it would be that much since are not serving way expensive food at the wedding so I LOST IT!! I started calling other places and they were either not helpful or booked for the day of my wedding etc. I feel so bad that my parents are putting all this money into a wedding because I know they dont have it and thats why I wanted an at home wedding so that we could save money. I love my parents so much though because they would do anything for me and I know that they arent bothered by it that much.
I then called Bret to let him know and tell him the price of the flowers so that he could let his dad know ( who was ok with it but then it became sort of chaos for a moment). We then left my mom's house and went looking for my earrings and my sisters shoes for the wedding. We were able to find both and I am so excited everything is going to be beautiful. I ended the day with a snow cone, carmel corn and crying to Bret but he took care of it and made me feel better. I have such a great partner who will never give up on me or us.
I just want everything to be okay
I just want people to be excited and supportive
BUT
I cant control how they feel or act so I am just going to be happy for Bret and I and be happy for out wedding. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life who will always stand by me so I am not going to worry what about what someone might wear or what they may complain about this day is about Bret and my love and that is it!!

Final Head Count
We have turned our numbers in to lady that will be taking care of a lot of the wedding
We are so lucky to have her because she has taken a TON of the stress away
We are counting on 125 people for the wedding!
That seems like a huge number to me but thinking about it, it could be a lot bigger if we opened it up to more people
I am so excited to see how great the wedding turns out, I know it is going to be beautiful and elegant and everything I have ever dreamed of. My parents are working their butts off cleaning up the house and getting it all ready. I cant believe how much they are doing to make it look good! They must love me
I am going to go through our engagement pictures tonight and pick the final ones for editting and then hopefully we will get those back soon so we can start designing our wedding announcement! Its coming so fast but I am so excited and so happy that I get to spend the rest of my life with Bret!
Nothing new has really surfaced but tomorrow we are going to visit our dad's for Father's Day so I will let you know how it goes :)

We got our pictures!!
On saturday we had our engagement picture session and IT WENT SO GOOD
Steve was totally amazing and great to work with
Last night he sent us the proofs to look through so that we could mark the ones we want editted and so on. A lot of them turned out really good and I am so glad we had so many to chose from! I cant wait to see the final product I know that Steve will do a great job!
The wedding is coming up way fast and I have a bunch of mixed emotions. I have a lot I want to get done and a lot that I NEED to get done but I am trying to take it one step at a time so i dont have a freak out moment or lose my head! I cant wait to see how it all comes together. I have a few odds and ends I need to get done but other than that we are pretty much waiting for the day to arrive.
Bret went back to his old job today and I am pretty excited for him, I want him to have steady work that he loves so that he doesnt worry about money or get bored sitting at home all day. The toguhest part of our relationship has been the work situation so far but we have gotten through it stronger each time and I know we will continue to do good and love each other. We are trying to work on our communication and get better about how we approach certain situations but I know it all takes time but we will get there. We have the rest of our lives to work through stuff!
I will post pictures soon! I can't wait to have them and start working on the wedding announcements :)

So Lucky in Love
I feel this blog has become my vent station.
I want to be able to show more of the good side of this blog though
I am so lucky to be marrying Bret. I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with him
He puts up with my crazy moods and my cry baby moments.
He never once has given up on me or left me
He is always the one who pushes through
I love him with all my heart and I dont know where I would be without him
I am a tough girl to put up with and he does it so well
He hardly complains and is always there to tell me how much he loves me and needs me
I love knowing that not matter what happens, he will always be there
We have grown a lot over the past 6 months
We have grown more than most couples do in years
We have had our fights and our hard times but we always come out on top
We love each other and that means we will never give up
I love Bret more than I could ever put into words
I am the luckiest girl in the whole world
I will never let him go
Tomorrow we are doing a lot of wedding stuff!
I am so very excited I cant wait
We are getting our pictures done and I hope they turn out great
I am pretty nervous but I know it will be a lot of fun
We are also going to go dress shopping with his mom
and hopefully work on our center pieces
Maybe we will also find sometime to go fishing
Bret loves to fish and I have never caught one before so he is really wanting me to catch one with him
He is a sweetheart
I could go on and on about all the great things that he does but that would take up this whole blog
I am lucky, in love and so very happy

Another one bites the dust
I knew that with Wedding Planning, not everything would go according to plan but I thought that I would be able to at least count on my family to pull through
................MAN WAS I WRONG
There has been stress after stress from family (I still love them though)
First its a problem with colors, then clothes, then who is all coming, then addresses, then attitudes and disappointments, now my pictures.
My uncle is a professional photographer and has been for a very long time
as a special gift he offered to do our engagement and bridal pictures for the wedding.
We scheduled the day, I got the date off of work, we found our clothes for the pictures and it was all ready to go.
Well my uncle had a job come up so we had to move the day, I was ok with it since its on a Sunday and thats the only day Bret and I know we will have off since we both dont work
Then on Tuesday I get a call from my mom saying we need to re-schedule again, after the week I had and the changing of everything so much I was so upset
Now my uncle was wanting us to go down on Fathers day, cancel our plans and take the pictures then.
Bret and I already made plans to have a BBQ with his family since we dont spend that much time with them and it really upset me that they just wanted me to drop everything for his schedule when he didnt really seem to care about our schedule
I know my uncle had good intentions and wanted to do something nice but even though he is family I wanted it to be more professional and taken care of better and not just called off at the last minute.
So i talked to the guy who is doing our wedding pictures, asked if he could take them on such short notice and now it is all ok. We are taking our pictures on Saturday at 6:00 pm and I am so excited. I think he will do a great job and I can not wait. I think this turned out for the best! And just like all the Bridal Magazines say, dont hire family to do work that someone else can do at your wedding it makes it to hurtful and complicated when things dont work out! I am not trying to say that my uncle isnt good at what he does or he isnt a good guy but it is better this way and i know everything will turn out great
Soon to be

I was called Bridzilla and I cried
This Weekend was rough on me
I have been loving wedding planning, I have loved looking at wedding stuff and thinking about how beautiful it will all look when it comes together. I have been stressed but I handled it ok until this weekend.
I have been asking everyone to wear like sunday casual (which i feel is normal and should be expected for a wedding) We are not having a line or anything but I wanted the family (his and mine) to be dressed nice and in our wedding colors (burgundy, ice mint, black) I was wanting the moms to wear nice dresses in either the burgundy or ice mint as well as the sisters and then the dads to wear suits with a vest and tie, then the boys of the family to wear black pants white shirt and the tie I got them. I thought this was pretty simple. I told them I dont want anything to fancy just nice and elegant. Well some people dont seem too happy about the black pants, which I feel they should just do it and not complain I am not asking them to buy new stuff or get a tux, then it seems like I am going to need to print pictures of the dresses I want because I have seen some that question if people understand that this is a classy wedding not a party. I just want everyone to look nice. I just want everything to match and be fun and I felt like I wasnt being too picky but I feel I should have a say. Bret and I decided on these colors together we picked what we wanted things to look like, and we shoud! This is our day and I feel we should be respected for our choices. Others say they are going to look so hot blah blah blah and get all the attention I dont know why but this irritates me and cause me to break down yesterday. I feel that this is my one day to be the pretty girl, this is my day to be the princess and this is Bret's day to look so handsome. I want people to respect that and not make it about them. This is about Bret and I and out love! Thats it and thats final. I love him so very much and he was so great at calming down last night after I cried like a baby. I am so in love, I just need to focus on that, I cant control how some people are. I just wish they would act like people that care and not cave men and women.
With all that negative talk I do want to say that I love his family and I love mine, its hard getting used to new people but I will do anything for him. I love him and I know it will take time to build boundaries and learn people but it will be worth it

Making a List... Checking it twice
I feel as if I am going over everything for the wedding many times a day
I am constantly thinking of what i want it to look like, if everyone will have fun, how will i look etc
I want everything to be perfect.
I want it to be my dream wedding because this is the only wedding I am going to have
I am so ready to marry Bret
I know he is the one I am suppose to be with always and forever
I am stressing a lot
I am loosing the fun and I need to pull it back in and enjoy the ride
I want everyone to feel our day is important and be excited but all that matters is Bret and I! we know what we want, we know that we love each other and we know that no matter what we will always have each other and that is the most important thing.
I just thought more people would want to be a part of the process and really enjoy it
I am loving every minute of it and I guess the less people are bugging me the more i get to do it my way
This post is all over the place but my head is so full of craziness and I dont know how to center it
A lot is being done, the list of to do's is getting shorter
I have my BEAUTIFUL DRESS
I got Bret his ring
We have talked to the lady who is going to make the cake, get the flowers and food
I know how I am going to decorate the back yard
I have enlisted my nana to build the arch Bret and I will get married under
I have found out that I am a simple girl who just likes things to look clean and elegant!
Bret and I have had great fun picking songs and we talk about the wedding all the time
I know he is excited and wants to marry me
I know that I am excited and want to marry him
I know that we will have a great time and I just need to enjoy the journey
Now For things I really need to work on
Setting aside money for our Honeymoon ( we are going to my parents cabin and fishing )
I need to start getting the house organized so it feels more like home
I need to finish the centerpieces
I need to have fun and enjoy it since its only happening once :)
I am the luckiest girl in the world

Things are coming together
Wedding Wednesday was yesterday and we got a lot done but it also stressed me out a lot more!!
WE talked to the lady who is going to be taking care of our decorations, food, cake and flowers! She was a nice lady but some of the stuff she was showing me looked really old school! No I am not one to make fun of anyone else's style or what they chose for their wedding but I like simple, plain elegant stuff not over the top crazy flowers everywhere with a ton of greenery, thats just not me. So in short I may have offended her which was never my intention and I am worried with how much she may try to charge us becuase we are getting alot of stuff with a lot of people. I just hope she gives us a good deal and the wedding turns out beautiful. I know that all the stuff doesnt matter the day is about Bret and I so honestly I dont care what the tables look like or if the colors dont match perfectly because I just want to Marry Bret and be his wife. I am so excited the days are going by fast and I know that time will only move faster but I am very excited and can't wait to be MRS. MAYCOCK :)

No I am not one to make fun of anyone else's style or what they chose for their wedding but I like simple, plain elegant stuff not over the top crazy flowers everywhere with a ton of greenery, thats just not me. So in short I may have offended her which was never my intention and I am worried with how much she may try to charge us becuase we are getting alot of stuff with a lot of people. I just hope she gives us a good deal and the wedding turns out beautiful. I know that all the stuff doesnt matter the day is about Bret and I so honestly I dont care what the tables look like or if the colors dont match perfectly because I just want to Marry Bret and be his wife. I am so excited the days are going by fast and I know that time will only move faster but I am very excited and can't wait to be MRS. MAYCOCK :)

I am becoming overwhelmed!!
I feel like I have so much to do and so little time
I want to get everything put together and orgamized but when I get around to it I am just so tired that I say I will do it tomorrow and the horrible cycle of a messy house continues.
Bret and I already live together and I love it but my little home has a hard time holding everything in it.
My house is starting to fill like a balloon that is about to explode.
We live in a small one bedroom condo that i purchased a year ago when I was single and just working and going to school. It worked for me, it worked for the cats but now its just too much. The cats drive me crazy, they mess everything up and our home is showing signs of aging! It needs to be re painted, we need new furniture, we need new flooring, new cabinets, new everything! I want it all now, I want everything organized and in its place but no matter what I do it never gets to that point. I need to buckle down and get it down before I pull my hair out!
I want the house to be put together before the wedding, I want everything to have its own place and I want to feel relaxed when I walk in our front door not scared to go home and see what new mess is waiting for me.
I usually have every Wednesday off so naturally thats the day I would clean etc but my day off has been converted to Wedding Wednesday which I love because I spend the whole day with my mom working on wedding stuff and we get a lot done but I need my house cleaned!!! BLAH
This Wednesday we are doing the Save the Dates, meeting with the lady about my cake, food and decorations and then whatever else falls on our plate. Then in two weeks we are getting our engagement pictures done! I am freaking out a little, it is coming fast things seem a bit weird witha few people in the family and I just want to curl up in a ball and hide for the moment.
Hopefully this feeling will leave soon so I can get back to enjoying it all and soaking it in

I found my dress
Every wednesday has been desginated as wedding wednesday with my mom. This is the day we get together and make the wedding stuff happen since that is my day off of work. This past Wednesday we were set to meet with the photographer and contact the DJ then do some little stuff. Well who knew we would get done so early so I was all lets go try on some dresses for fun. I thought we were way ahead of schedule since we werent planning on dress shopping until June 22. little did we know the rest of the day would trun into a crazy frenzy. We first went to Davids Bridal and looked around when we walked in they began asking me questions about when the Big day was and their faces dropped, they could not believe this was our first time "just looking at dresses" The lady informed us that it is taking 12-20 weeks to get a dress on and I would really need to start looking. So in a panic we pick some dresses and start trying on. Not only were we way behind on finding a dress but totally off on how much dresses cost. We ended up going to four stores and at the last one I found my dress.!! I completely fell in love with it, it fits me great and is so amazing I know Bret will love it but he has to wait until the wedding day before he can see anything! I have my dress fitting tomorrow and I can not wait. i just want to put it back on and feel beautiful in it again!
Wedding planning in so fun! I have truly enjoyed every minute, Bret has been so helpful and really putting in an effort to help and make this OUR WEDDING
I am so lucky to have such an amazing man. We also made a count down chain, it looks way long right now but slowly it will get down and then we will be MARRIED :)

Wonderful Weekend!!





This weekend I took saturday off so that I could spend some much needed time with Bret and we could work on wedding stuff. We went and got his tux all picked out! Of my goodness he is going to look so handsome I dont know if I will be able to get through the ceremony! Then we went out to lunch and then went shopping at the mall to find our outfits for our engagement pictures! I was so worried that this was going to be a big horrible task because I hate shopping for clothes but it went so smooth and we found the best shirts to wear! The pictures are going to turn out great! Then we headed over to BRet's mom's house and hung out there for a bit. We got to play with his neice and nephew they are such cute little babies. It makes me want to have one of my own! Bret is going to be such an amazing dad I love to watch him play with the kids! Then on sunday we hung out at home, relaxed, took naps and then went over to my parents for dinner. It was my dad's birthday this past friday so we had cake and just talked for a bit.
It was a great weekend and I am so thankful that i have such amazing people in my life who love and support me. I can't believe how fast time is passing by and soon I will Mrs. Maycock

Writing it all down
I find myself wanting to remember every moment of planning my wedding, the stress, the love, the proposal. I keep writing down how I felt the day he did it,how I feel now I want to savor it all. I want to never forget how amazing and in love I feel at this moment. I never thought I would get to this point. I never thought that I would meet a man so great who would love me with his whole heart and not be afraid to show it. I am so lucky and everyday I fall more and more in love with Bret. I can't wait to be his wife and start our family. I know he will be a great husband and a great daddy. I don't want to wish the time away though I want to savor it and enjoy every moment of it because I am only ever getting married once!
This weekend I have saturday off so we are going to try and accomplish a lot. I want to get the final ok on my colors. I want to look for Bret's Tux. I want to spend so quality time with my man, probably fishing, he loves it. I want to take pictures, I need to talk to his mom about getting pictures of him when he was younger for our wedding video. I need to find more songs for our wedding playlist. I need to clean clean and clean the house. I need to organize everything so I feel more at ease with everything!!!
Its going to be a busy weekend and I am so excited!
I love my soon to be Hubby
Bret I love you with all my heart you mean the world to me and I dont know what I would do without you. Thank you so much for standing by me through the good and the bad. We have sure had to work through somethings that usually break other couples apart but it has only made us stronger. You are my everything xoxoxo

Counting Down
I am so excited for my wedding that I find myself just wishing time away
But I don't want to do that because I know once its over I will want it back
So I am trying to focus on all that needs to get done and really enjoy it
I am thinking that Bret and I need to fully organize our house and get everything it the right place. We have a very small place so the moment it gets dirty it looks horrible and gets so irritating. I need to really deep clean my house, be the good take care of home wife and get everything in its place. My mom is taking care of the wedding plans so I need to take care of the little plans.
This weekend we are going to look for Bret's Tux. I think he will look so handsome I can't wait. I think we are also going to go register at another place we went to target on Monday and we had so much fun. We put some funny stuff on there and just had a great time together. I think next time I will make sure to take pictures. I want to capture every moment so I can always remember it. I love Bret so much and I feel so lucky to have him in my life.

WE ARE ENGAGED 5/8/11
Bret popped the question and it was perfect.
Today we spent the day visiting all of our families because it was Mother's Day. We first went to my parents house where Bret asked for my Dad's blessing (so special to me). They had talked last week about how much Bret loved me and how special I was so my dad said that he had already give him his blessing and to not worry about it. Bret showed my whole family the ring and my mom cired becuase she was so happy.
We then went to his Grandma Pat's house where the family was getting together. I was able to meet more of his family and they were all so welcoming and warm hearted. Again he showed everyone the ring and they all thought it was beautiful I was sitting in the TV room while they were all in the kitchen and I could hear his aunt squeal with excitement ( she even put it on and was admiring it). When we got in the car to go Bret told me that his cousin suggested he ask me then but Bret told him no because he didnt think it wouldnt be fair since only his family was there. At that point I thought there was no way he was going to propose tonight.
After spending time with his Mom we went to get something to eat before heading over to his dad's to see his step mom Teri and wish her a Happy Mother's Day.
Bret decided that we should also go see his Grandma Shirlee at the rest home. We talked to her a bit and she also got to see my ring which she loved! She is such a sweetheart and so happy that Bret wants to settle down (she never thought he would).
We headed over to his dad's house where we chit chatted for a bit and talked about wedding colors etc. We had a great time and at about 8:30 decided that it was time to leave and head home. Teri had sent us home with a bunch of stuff so Bret carried it out and put it in the car and we headed back to our home. As we were driving home we talked about how much we loved each other and how excited we were. He kept saying that I need to park under the car port when we got home, which I usually don't do since my car got broken into back there but I thought that since we had stuff to take home he wouldn't want to carry all the way inside from the front of our complex since it was raining so hard.
Bret got out of the car and walked around to my side and asked if he could kiss me, which he usually never does but I said ya and then he hugged me and started telling me how much he loved me and promised to love me forever, he said that I was the reason he got up in the morning and the one person he thought of all day. He got down on his knee and at this point I started shaking and crying. He told me he loved me again and that I was his everything and then he said " Will you marry me?"I said "YES" of course and I cried and we hugged and kissed and at that moment I felt more happiness than I ever thought possible! It was perfect and everything I could have asked for! I. had no idea that tonight would be the night that it became official because of all the times he was saying he was going to make me wait and it wasnt going to be for awhile. He totally suprised and made it the most perfect proposal. Where we had our first kiss, in the rain, and on our annivesary. Bret is my everything and I dont know what I would do without him. He is my rock and the one person I can always count on. He has my whole heart and I get to spend the rest of my life with him. I then started freaking out about how pretty the ring was and called my family to let them know. They are so very excited and can't wait for our wedding day it will be so special.
Now some background on why Bret proposed where and when he did (he is so romantic and sentimental) I love it.
Today was our 5 month annivesary from our first date and first kiss. It was Mother's Day so we got to spend time with all those that we love, we had a great day together and were on such a high from all the excitement. Now the reason why he asked me right where he did was because thats where we had our first kiss!! When we had our first kiss he asked " Can I kiss you?" I said yes and then he repeated it tonight. He brought so many special moments into one and it was so perfect. It was so thoughtful and amazing that he remembered and felt that it was a special place just like I did.
I couldnt ask for a more perfect way to be asked to marry someone! It was all I have ever wanted and so much more
Soon I will be Mrs. Maycock and I cant wait.

We always do things in reverse!
Bret got my ring last night :) and I want it
We have been planning this wedding and getting everything together but he has not officially proposed lol
We were talking one day about wanting to get married and start a family. I wanted an outdoor wedding and he wanted a summer wedding. We realised that summer is approaching and we didnt want to wait another year to get married so August 6th came up and it was set. We started picking colors, making plans and telling everyone. Just this past sunday we went and designed my ring using the diamonds from my great great grandmothers ring. It was ready yesterday and Bret picked it up! I can't wait to be able to wear it everyday and be Mrs. Maycock. I am not a patient person but I will have to wait until he pops the big question.

Not My First Time
well friends I have decided to start a new blog start all over and pay attention so that I can really document my life, I am finding the more I grow up how I wish I would have kept a Journal when I was younger so I could look back on my life and enjoy those fine memories. So here I am today, starting fresh, starting the journal, starting the memory database and I am excited. I have always loved reading others blogs so I think its time I stop just being a stalker and share my story too.
A few things to start this off: ( i will expand later )
* I am a full time student and full time employee
* I have the best family, best boyfriend, and best individuals in my life
* I have my cooper puppy that I love and two cats that I could LIVE WITHOUT
* I have my own place and I love it as well
Life is good and I cant wait to share
