Respect

Ok so all I am going to say is that I have one basic principle for my page. If you have nothing nice to say than don't post on my blog. I know that many of you kept saying you "didn't mean to be rude" but the bottom line is that you were. If you don't like the way something looks you are not obligated to say anything. I didn't ask for your comment on the subject. Now don't get me wrong, I like to get comments on my page but rude opinions are better kept unsaid. The bottom line is that I LOVE my dress and the pictures I put up here do not do it justice. Thank you all for your concern about MY dress but in all honesty I picked it out, I am the one that will wear it, and I think it looks amazing. So now all I ask is that you respect my choices and not comment about how bad you think that they are.

Now for the ladies that always read my blog, I love you guys! I am currently working my butt off in school and am busier than ever. I am going to school 6 days a week, working about five, and trying to plan my wedding. I will post again soon.

News!

Ok so once again it has been awhile. But I will be completely honest. I really have been busy. For starters, I changed my major. I am now going to be a nurse. I know what you are thinking. That is a complete 180 from being a music teacher. But I really only decided to be a music teacher because music is what I am good at. It is my passion and will be forever. But the more I was in the classes the more I hated it. I finally figured if this is something I plan on doing for quite some time it should be something I desire to learn about and let me tell you I hated those music classes. Music theory, ear training, piano proficiency, lessons, I hated those classes. And I hated learning more about that stuff. I dreaded school. And I had always kind of thought about being a nurse so I decided to take it to the next level and act on it. And now I am excited about school. I can't wait. I am taking a chemistry class on a Saturday which really sucks but I kind of shot myself in the foot by changing my major after most people had signed up for their classes. I had actually signed up for all the music classes again and had to switch everything around. But I can't wait for school to start. It starts for me on Saturday the 19th.
Other than school, I have more news. MY WEDDING DRESS FINALLY CAME IN!! I was so excited I could have peed my pants (not really but now you get the idea just how excited I was). Hee hee. Anyway, it is gorgeous. I finally got to try on a dress that fit me. The one I was trying on at the place was 5 sizes to big so it was always being held on by clips and things. On my actual dress, the straps are a little too big so those are going to be taken in some. But everything else fit perfectly. I took lots of pictures and you can see them here. Oh and please excuse the dorky looks on my face. I was really excited. It was hard to calm down and smile normal.
Oh and more news. Yesterday I got back from Nashville. Me and my best friend took a spur of the moment road trip for 3 days. She wanted to visit a university there and I wanted a vacation so we took my brand new car (see post below if you haven't heard about the amazing new car) :), and went on a trip. It was my first vacation without my parents. I know kind of dorky to be almost 20 and have never gone on a trip without mom and dad or a school, but my family is close and we love vacations. But anyway, it is needless to say both me and my friend had to keep calling both sets of parents to check in. LOL. It was a 5 hour drive and we made it there without really getting that lost. The directions we had were really bad so we got kind of lost on the way to the hotel. But it turned out ok. We had so much fun. We just walked around Nashville, visited the Parthenon, went shopping, I bought a new Guess purse. I love those purses, but soon I will move up the designer line and get a Coach bag and then a Louis Vitton. Oooh I can't wait. But back to the trip. I took some good pics of Nashville. The city had some great buildings. I really love architecture so I put some of those pics in there. You can see them here.
Ok now I have some sad news. One of Danny's friends died this week. He was a translator. He couldn't tell me much but they found him murdered. Danny was pretty shaken up at first but he is better now. Just keep him in your prayers as you guys are all in mine.
I love you all and I will try to post more often. Really what kept me was trying to do that cool look "here" at the pictures thing but now I found a site that tells me how to do those kinds of things. And I will share because hopefully I am not the only person that is kind of baffled with certain computer things. It is here.
