A lot of people have been asking, so here are some of my Wedding Planning updates!
1.) in case you don't know i got my dress. I WOULD put a picture up except Kel reads this blog, so instead i am going to tell you how to get to it! Go to google... look up Maggie Sottero (oh yeah i got a DESIGNER dress) and on her site search in the upper left hand corner "Emily." that beautiful dress is all MINE! It is nothing like the dress i though i would get, but i am super pumped. It will be white and made solely of -KEL DON"T READ THIS NEXT WORD- satin! -KEL IT'S SAFE TO READ AGAIN- For all you wondering. I have not actually tried it on, but i have tried on the same style and it looked awesome with all my natural curves! I will also be wearing a cashmere scarf over my shoulders for the ceremony. I have my sister's veil and headpiece, as well as jewelry that i will be wearing.... already got my something borrowed!
2.) Today Kel and I went and talked to the priest that is doing our wedding. We have officially started our marriage prep work, paperwork, and spiritual guidance. I am very excited, i think the priest doing our wedding is amazing, and defiantly the right choice for Kel and I. He was my theology teacher in High School and has been there with Kel all through our engagement process. We met with him and talked for an hour! I am very excited.
3.) Kel's papers to settle his not quit an annulment are on their ways! YAY no stress!
4.) Save the dates are out and good to go, please think they are cute and out date is reserved.
5.) We are right on schedule with everything and good to go! Lots of plans coming up and i am very excited!
But seriously, very excited to try on my wedding dress, hopefully some time in late April or early May.
btw, sorry about the Spanish to English translations on my last blog post. Spell Check does thing automatically and because i suck at spelling it changed my words!
Made from Scratch

- I am married to a crazy quirky man who is perfect for me and together we have a BEAUTIFUL baby girl and another little angel up in heaven. I strive to find balance in my life between faith, family, friends and work.

Senioritas....
Not gonna lie, I am in class right now. Don't get me wrong I am paying attention, but it's one of those days where the teacher spends more time lecturing us about how horrible the real world is and less teaching me how to get ready for this big bad horrible real world. However, my senoritas has reached extreme points where it is seeping in to my dreams, literally!
I had a dream last night that i was sitting in a cozy little apartment, married (i know this because i was wearing a wedding band), curled up on a cough reading a good book. This is all i want in life, to be done studying and out acting everything i have learned. I want to be graduated and done, married and settled, able to read an old familiar book (i have been dying to get back to Gone With the Wind or The Hobbit or maybe even slowly work through all 7 Harry Potters) without the guilt of having to study or write papers, or meet with groups for projects. I have been doing this for my fair share of time.
Don't get me wrong, i am glad i chose to stay in school all 4 years. i am proud of all my work experience, my two majors, my fiance, and all the hard work i have done so far. However, i am desperate for a settled life that doesn't get rearranged and uprooted every "semester" and where i don't have to take a month of my life readjusting my schedule, my moods, and my routine.

Nothing a good meal and some ice cream can't fix!
As everyone knows (and i have whined about incessantly) two years and a half ago i had an accident that has literally altered my life. I have spent the past two years rehabilitating, loosing the weight i gained, and working on getting back to the athletic person i was.
On that note, last week and this week and the next two weeks i have picked up a job refereeing 4th and 5th grade girls basketball. It gives me just enough extra money to financially pick myself up. Last week i realized 5 hours of constant stop and go running was exhausting and my legs were done for. however, no negative pain, so i was thinking this would be a good things. However this week the whole time was severe negative pain in my shins and stabbing pain in my calves. throw in too small shoes and swollen ankles and i was cranky and miserable. So kel was a few minutes late picking me up, and that "always" make me better!
So i came home to find Kel had invented a delicious meal, dessert and all. it was ready to go and i didn't have to lift a finger. It was amazing to know that Kel was so willing to do everything to make me relax. I have been working hard and there's never enough money to go around, so i have been picking up extra babysitting jobs every Friday and Saturday night, as well as the basketball gig, extra hours at work every possible free moment. All while maintaining my school work (got at A on one test and a B on another and a B on the third, pretty pumped). I am exhausted and the fact that Kel made me and AMAZING DELICIOUS dinner (low price), invented a new recipe, bought me ice cream with the $2 he had, and let me sit down and relax.
My love tank is full and i am blessed to have a fiance who acknowledges my hard work and cares for me more than anything else in the world.
While i am bragging about Kel, here is another story. Yesterday i was at work and called kel to tell him i would be babysitting last minute. I found out that he had (with no car or means of transportation, how this happened i will never know) gone all the way across town to clean and care for one of my friends who was sick!
So reassured to know that i will be taken care of forever!

The things i have learned....
Midterm week, my last one EVER and i am so excited about that fact. However it also means that i have to make it through a week of tests, and i do not do well with tests. However, i am a senior in college finishing two degrees and for the first time ever i have realized the secret behind takings test, all you freshman, read up!
I have a history of stressing, freaking out, and over studying. I don't normally sleep before a test and therefore crash during or immediately after a test. However today i had a test. yesterday i relaxed, did my study guide, put it away and gt a good nights sleep. I then spent the whole day relaxing, studying on and off, and focusing on calming myself down. The test seemed 100% less stressful and easier to sit through. I don't know how i did on my test, but i feel better about it than any other test ever. I have another test tomorrow, and it's not that i am not studying, but i am choosing a full nights sleep instead of staying up all night to freak out and ruin my mental capacity for tomorrow.
I love it when i have these little revelations of how i am learning life lessons and functions. Things like this prove that i am maturing and learning how to live this crazy thing called life!

"why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you're born to stnad out?"
Ok- so the title, has nothing to do with my life, but i am watching What a Girl Wants and i think that's a really good line.
Anyway, so this week has been an extreme week for my family. It started with exciting news that a baby boy was born, and we are shared in the excitement and nervousness as my sister took another step in her adoption journey. The next day we found out that this little bundle would not be a part of our family. My sister and her husband came home and we started to repair the damage.
I know that this was my sister's journey and that i am just the aunt to their future children, but that does not mean i am not still affected. My whole family was so excited about the prospect of growing in numbers. She is my sister and although we have fought throughout life, we are family and as far as i am concerned sister is the biggest bond of friendship a girl can have. So when my sister goes through a pain this severe, of course i am going to be hurt and affected strongly. Also, her husband has been around in my family since my 8th grade year, which is a HUGE part of my life. I have always wanted a big brother, and he just provided himself to be one. I don't like calling him an in-law, so he is in fact my brother. Which means that things that hurt him, hurt me as well.
I in no way shape or form know what my sister is going through. I pray for her, my brother, their growing family, and the baby that will be partaking a much different life. I hurt for them and most importantly i am there for them.

"Just because you have the emotional capacity of a teaspoon"- Hermione Granger
So today has been an emotional day! It is official, my year of dramatic life changes has started today. Most of you know what i am talking about, but for the discretion of my family the rest of you will have to wait until the end of the week to know what started the "time of change" as Kel and i call it. The point is i do not handle change well at all, in fact it leads to breakdowns and emotional problems. However good the change is i can't let go of the fact that things will never be like they were! I am learning quick to work with this, but it's coming hard.
However, i am very excited about the events in my life that are causing the change and i look forward to telling everyone about how amazing my life is and how awesome it's going to be through thick, thin, and just plain different.
So, since i can't just post something this short, i have a cute story for you all. today was a roller coaster! most of the day i spent optimistic and excited, while a good portion was also spent crying and praying and worrying. With school, my last first tests of the semester, and things being busier than ever this week i was at an all time low emotionally. For this, Kel had to pay. i have a nasty habit of taking out my emotions on Kel, and normally he puts me in my place and helps me through it. today instead we argued and fought until we were both so tired we gave up with each other. We talked things through, saw where we went wrong, and solved the problems.
So i went to work as usual, although still emotional. From there Kel picked me up and took me to my girl's night that i have every Monday night. Me and some girlfriends take turns cooking for each other and watch the Bachelor and Castle together every Monday. I was excited about my three hours of relax time and time where Kel and i could relax and cool off! So while I was at girl's night Kel set up an elaborate plan to make me feel like a million dollars.
He picked me up and dropped me off at my apartment. he stopped in for a quick conversations. When i opened my bedroom door, there was candle light, a bottle of wine (chilling on snow- not ice- in a bucket on the floor) a clean room and Hershey kisses scattered around the room. Along with this my room was clean, laundry done, and we watched a movie very significant to us (different story at a different post). Cutest, sweetest, most amazing thing i could have ever asked for. i was completely surprised and love that he is so thoughtful and will do whatever it take to make me the happiest girl alive!
