Two Months from Today

I am Two Months and counting it down. By this time two months from today I will be Mrs Kaisinger! I have been planing and planing this wedding and I am just about done. I could not be happier about this than I am right now.

However, If today is any indication of how the wedding will go I will pass out. Both of the dogs are sick and I had to take off work to take Rocky to the vet. NO sickness on my wedding day please.

Irene made me Productive

So living in North Carolina has it's downfalls.... Hurricanes. Yesterday after the third most crazy day of work ever at Thundershirt ( The 2 days before the 4th of July were worse)I went and got my dogs and headed to my parents. I wanted to make sure if anything happened with Irene that my mom had all the help she needs. She just had thyroid cancer removed last week and is very weak. So my only plan was to maybe clean and relax the Irene away.





What happened instead. I went to see my wedding flower mockup and well it is going to be amazing. John even loves them :). I cleaned my mom's house. Made decorations for my final cake class in the Wilton series. I will post picture tomorrow. I went shopping for things a woman wears under her wedding dress (aka a long line bra). Finally I finished shopping for my bridesmaids. I felt so very productive for a crazy windy day.

A Night of a Few of My Favorit Things

So Monday John and I decided to try out a new restaurant we found on restaurant.com. It is called Blue Note Grill. It was advertised as having Texas style BBQ, so we were both totally excited to try this out (John grew up from 2-11 years of age in the Houston area). Needless to say we were not let down about the Texas BBQ. I was literally licking my finger by the end of dinner. Oh Texas BBQ how I have missed you and love that I now have you back in my life.


When we got there a band was setting up. All I could think is sweet a little music with dinner. To my surprise it was a really good Jazz group. They did fun music the whole time and I totally love the whole experience. I also found out they have Jazz, Blues, and Big Band style music playing EVERY NIGHT!!!!! Needless to say I will be going back and will drag John with me.


When we got back to my house John and I turned on the TV to look for something to watch and he let me watch Hell's Kitchen for two hours. I am so in love with this wonderful man who will put up with my addiction to Hell's Kitchen. I just hope he can stand Grey's Anatomy.

Planning a Wedding in 4 Months!!!!

So After few weeks of real planning I have figured out one thing. I am CRAZY thinking I can plan a wedding in 4 months. Oh well I am doing it any ways. Everything John and I seem to be doing is about the wedding or is doubling as two things at once. The above picture was taken at my Caterers restaurant about 5 minutes before we met with her. We did a whole little engagement session with my mom at the place. It is cute and I totally wish it were not a hour and a half away from the church.


So my list of things I have done:
Got the Dress, shoes, head pieces, and accessories
Flowers
Caterer
Reception at a sweet local Art Gallery
Church and Pastor Tim
My girl's have their dresses ordered( Flower girl dresses are in)
Mom has her dress
Invitations (still need printing but I have them)
We have registered at 3 places
Ordered our wedding rings Tonight!! (we won them)
DJ
The Cake (I am taking the Wilton classes with my mom and we are making the cake)

Wait maybe I am more organized than I thought. Oh well I still think I am CRAZY for planning a wedding in 4 months.

Life happens when you forget to Blog!

So I can never seem to get to my blog lately. So here are the Updates.

I got a full time job as customer service specialist and retail sales (aka dog fitter) at Thundershirt. What is thundershirt? A dog anti anxiety wrap. It is really cool the stories I get to hear of peoples pets and how I have gotten to see it work myself.



John and I got engaged!!! Yep I am getting married. I have never been so happy in my life. John is a great man, who loves me for who I am and who I dream to be. Our wedding is November 26th. Yep a little less and 4 months away. What am I thinking? So wish me luck in throwing together a simple, sweet, beautiful wedding.

William and Kate's Simple Prayer

William and Kate wrote a prayer for their wedding. "God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage. In the business of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union, help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the spirit of Jesus Christ. Amen.”

I found this prayer simple yet something I think all people need to pray. "In the business of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy."

Job Seach

Recently I was put on work restriction by my orthopedist. Since birth I have had issues with my right hip and well it started acting up again. Right now I am only allowed to stand or walk for short periods of time. So needless to say I had to quit my job at David's Bridal and try to find some type of office work. In the mist of searching for work I got called by a temp agency I have been with since November to do a job that would last through May. Well they hired too many temps and let 10 of 15 people go. I was one of the people let go after two weeks. So I have been back to looking for jobs.

So as I look for jobs I have noticed there are so many people who try to scam job seekers. Theses people are on line, in news papers, and feel like they are just everywhere. Not to mention the fact that people say the economy is picking up, while I look around a still there are no jobs to be found. I can apply to 7 jobs a day and amp up my resume as I think of things. Yet calls don't come in. I wonder things like do people look at the fact that I used to be a minister and not like it? Does having a masters keep me from getting jobs? What else can I do to my resume to help myself get a job? Am I over educated?

All I am asking for is to start over. I don't care if I make less than I did as a youth minister. I just need someone to give me a chance.
