I can't believe I have went this long without updating. Things have been a bit hectic though, so I'm sure you all understand.
I hate to pull the whole obsessive mommy card but he is my life so it just seems right to update on him first. Kyle and I just got home from taking him to his 4 month check up. He is now 23 1/4 inches (pretty darn good considering he was 15 in. at birth) and weighs 12.8 lbs (again...an improvement from 3 lbs!) He had to get shots and he did much better than me. I hate sitting there and listening to him scream his little head off and I can't do anything to make him feel better. Other than that things are as they should be. Oh, except for the fact that he has had to have countless brain ultrasounds and the Drs finally concluded that he has some sort of calcified mass in the back of his brain which they say could be nothing but they want to be safe and keep an eye on it. So, next week he has an appointment with a Dr who is said to be one of the best neurologists. They say that the mass is in a part of the brain that could cause shakes or tremors of some sort. So please keep us in your thoughts or prayers or whatever it is that you do. :) He still isnt letting mommy sleep at night, but we're working on that. He can roll over but thinks it's funny to only do it when it's just me and him. Nobody seems to believe me that he has accomplished this. He's looking more and more like Kyle everyday which doesnt bother me one bit cause i think Kyle is pretty darn cute :) As a whole I'm going to be completely honest and say that being a stay at home mom and housewife is a lot more difficult then I had thought it would be. Not to say I dont enjoy it, it's just physically, mentally and emotionally challenging. I know that might sound lame, but there really is no way to describe it.
Kyle and I are also doing well. We fight occassionally but both agreed that we're doing pretty damn good for a newly married couple. We had a lot put on our plates in a short amount of time and I think we have come together and handled it well. I need to learn to control my attitude a bit. I tend to be quiet fiesty during our arguments. I'm told that will get better with age. I hope so. I'm crazy, i'm not gonna lie.
I apologize that this entry lacks crazy excitment. Please understand that my days are filled with Baby Einstein and Sesame Street. Although I must say both are fabulous.
Sarah~ Your letter is a work in progress. i have not forgotten you...I promise! :)
Rachel~ Where are you?!?!? Call me. Right now. Walk away from the computer and call me. Our Facebook and Myspace messages do not count as proper communication. I miss you and Dan.
Shannon~ The show at Cobo is last weekend in September. It will be a fun girls night out!! :)
Bill~ I beat you at Sceneit. :) |

So, I still haven't figured out the picture posting thing but that's alright. Vaughn is home!!!! He's been home since June 13th, which means it has been 22 nights of not nearly enough sleep.. Funny thing? I really don't mind. He's been doing so great. He already weighs a whopping 6 lb 11 oz!! He's getting so big :) When strangers ask me how old he is and I tell them almost 2 months they look at me like I'm crazy cause he still looks so tiny for his age.
In other news: Kyle, Vaughn and I, along with my parents and brothers and sister just got back from a trip to Virginia. I'd like to say that it was a nice planned vacation, but that wasn't the case. My Grandma passed away so we all drove down there to bury her. While it was an emotional and sad trip it was also kind of nice. See...it was my grandmas wish that when she died all of her family gets together and drives to virginia to bury her. While we were there we also got to go to the house where my dad grew up. He had a huge cave in his back yard!! It was nice being able to spend time with my whole family. It's rare that my brothers and sister and I are ever all together. I do miss grandma, though :(
I'd post more but I am absolutely exhausted and I finally got Vaughn to fall asleep so maybe I'll go enjoy a 15 minute nap! |

I'm well aware of the fact that is has been quite some time since my last update. I assure you, I have good reason. Most of you that read this have already heard this story and know what has been going on in my life. For those of you that don't..this post is for you. I apologize for it's length.
Friday May 5th I wake up with cramps. I'm lying in bed thinking, "wow..my stomach really hurts. That's odd, I havent had cramps this entire pregnancy." For a second I consider the idea of lying in bed all damn day watching tv and being lazy and using the excuse that Im pregnant and I can do that. No. I cant..I have too much to do today. So...I drag my huge self out of bed and begin my long day. First, I pick up my cousin Dayna because I thought it would be nice of me to sign her out of school early and let her run errands with me. First stop was Wyandotte hospital to get some shots and blood work done. So not fun, by the way. Actually..thats a lie...the first stop was Applebees because I was starving. So..after the blood work and needles Im still complaining of cramps. I decide to cut my long day of errand running short and head home. Kyle is there waiting for me and I tell him I'm in no mood to cook dinner, I just want to go to bed. So..I do. Around 2 am I wake up with more cramps. Bad cramps. I wake Kyle and he insists we go to the hospital. "Absolutely not. I refuse to be one of those woman who goes to the hospital 10 weeks before their due date thinking theyre in labor only to be sent home with gas." I tell him I'm going to get up and try taking a shower instead. Big mistake. Warm water did not help. Instead I stood in the shower crying until Kyle came and carried me out. OK. OK. I'll go to the hospital. Now...I have been planning on delivering the baby at Oakwood Dearborn, but seeing as how there was no way I was in labor and wyandotte was closer...we went there. Get to the Emergency room, the nurse puts a monitor on me and says it doesnt appear as though Im having contractions. "No kidding" I thought...it's not time yet. I sit there for an hour and then the Dr comes in to check on me. "I know this is going to be a lot of information to take in all at once but you are dilated to 4, your cervix is paper thin and hanging by a thread, you are in pre-term labor, and there is an ambulance downstairs waiting to rush you to Oakwood Dearborn because if the baby is born right now we do not have the technology here to care for your pre term baby." It is at this moment I look at Kyle and begin sobbing uncontrollably. "I'm not ready for this!! It's not time yet!! The baby can't come yet...it's too early!!" A team of Drs then come rushing in the room. One sticks a needle in my hand to start an IV while the other one is putting a shot of steroids in my ass to help the babies lungs develop much faster. Just for the record..the steroid shot hurt like hell. So...the wild ride begins and I am rushed to Oakwood Dearborn. When I get there they quickly start my IV with something called Magnesium Sulfate. Oh God..what can I even say to describe Magnesium Sulfate? Let's just say that if I was trying to kill someone and torture them slowly..I wouldn't subject them to the evil that is Magnesium Sulfate. The whole purpose of them giving that to me was to try and stop the labor. It did, but they failed to mention it would also cause me to vomit and pass out and lose my vision and functions of my legs. Oh, and it makes your entire body feel as though it is on fire. Fun stuff. It is now Saturday afternoon. The labor has been stopped and I am lying in a hospital bed in a drugged haze. "OK...that was fun, let me go home now." Nope. Not even kind of. The Dr. then informs me that because I am now dilated to 5 and my cervix is still just hanging there I will have to stay in the hospital until the baby is born. Keep in mind it is May 6 and the baby is due July 23rd. They try and cheer me up by telling me that during my stay at Oakwood I can do fun activities such as learning to knit or take a poetry writing class. Seeing as how my world has now been turned upside down and Im on the verge of delivering a baby that is not old enough to be born...I was not cheered up. Fast forward to the following Wednesday morning. A nurse enters my room at 5 am (they found it necessary to check on me round the clock) and tells me that the monitor shows I am in labor again. I wake up (yes, i was sleeping when she told me this) and argue with her that the monitor is wrong. I am not in labor. I feel fine. To make matters worst she tells me that she is going to have me transferred back down to the labor and delivery floor and put me back on the magnesium sulfate. Now I'm really upset. Please God! Anything but that! 7 am...I'm back in the delivery room on the drugs vomiting and passing out and all that fun stuff. My parents and Kyle show up and I inform them it will be a long day of sitting and staring at me until the labor stops. 8:30 pm....the drugs are taking there toll on me and I am still in a very painful labor. The Dr checks me and says..."you're having this baby!" Breaks my water and says the baby should be out in less than 2 hours. A million thoughts are running through my head. I'm scared for the baby. I'm scared for myself. I didn't get any pain medication!!!!! At 10:14 pm Vaughn Ryland Glugla is welcomed into the world. He came out and I heard the most beautiful noise I have ever heard in all my life. My baby crying. He is rushed to the Neo Natal intensive care and I am later told that he is doing fabulous. He was born weighing a whopping 3 lbs 1 oz.
I heal for 24 hours and then the most difficult challenge Kyle and I have ever had hits us. We will have to leave our baby in the hospital. Which brings this very long story to today. Vaughn is still at the hospital but we are hoping he'll be home in a couple weeks. He is doing so great, though!!! He's very healthy. All we're waiting for is him to be able to maintain his own body temperature and be able to breast feed. Until then Kyle and I spend almost every free second there. I can't put into words how hard it is not having him home with me. All I can do is thank God for giving me and Kyle a healthy beautiful son.
We have taken a million pictures of Vaughn but I can't figure out how to post them on this stupid site. For those of you who care to see pics you can just ask me and I'll send them...or you can check my photo album on Facebook :) |

I definately should not be updating my live journal right now. Instead I should be working on the mountain of homework that I have setting in front of me. I have been doing non stop homework for the past 6 or so hours...so I needed a break. Finals are next week and I cannot express in words how happy that makes me. Not that I've hated my classes this semester, I'm just ready to be done. Plus, carting my giant self all over campus is becoming exhausting!!
So....big news!!! Kyle and I are officially home owners!!!! We closed on the house this past Monday. For those of you reading this who have yet to purchase a house...be warned: You will have to sign millions of papers!! I'm not kidding! It was madness. Halfway through the closing my arm began to cramp up. It was sooo worth it, though. After the closing they gave us the keys to our house and we ran straight over there. When we got in the house we ran from room to room like little children, jumping up and down and kissing and saying how happy we were. We were quite a sight, I'm sure. I, of course, cried. It was just so overwhelming. I never would have thought 13 months ago I would be married and nearly 7 months pregnant and celebrating in "our" new home together. I've had a whirlwind year to say the least...and I couldn't be happier :) So, we decided that night that we were going to camp out in our new home, even though it was empty. We took my parents air mattress and slept on the floor of what will be the master bedroom. Very romantic, i must say.
Today I received Emilies wedding invitation in the mail. She will be getting married one month from today. I'm so excited for her!!!! The wedding is going to be a blast. I'm just sad that I had to step down from my bridesmaid role cause they don't make maternity dresses in the color she chose. How sad is that!?! Oh well, she knows I'm still there to support her.
I am in desperate DESPERATE need of a pregnancy massage!!! If anyone knows of a good massage therapist in the area...let me know! I just thought I'd throw that in there cause I'm sitting here thinking..."wow...my back really frickin hurts!!" I'm such a whiner, I know.
I was supposed to hang out for a bit with Amber today but had to cancel due to the fact that i can't afford to be driving all over the place. Gas prices make me very very angry.
Alright alright...I'll go do more homework. I'm not happy about it, though!!! |

This update is way way over due but when huge events happen in your life it's kind of hard to come on here and be like...yeah, so I got married and went to hawaii for our honeymoon. It was beyond amazing. It would just take entirely too long to type it all out...and I'm lazy. So I guess I'll just do my best.
Lets begin with the wedding. Woke up that morning feeling cool calm and collected. Woke up...ate some toast. Hung out in my pjs. Then things started getting hectic. Met my sister at the salon where I got my manicure and hair done. The woman who did my hair was evil and Im pretty sure she was trying to rip my hair out. It looked really cute when all was said and done, so I didnt complain. Got back to my parents house thinking I had all the time in the world to hang out and do my make up (I was dead wrong) Then before I knew it I was at the chapel standing in the bride room pacing like a nervous bride. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. I didn't cry...too much. OK, yes I did. Everyone did. It was great. The reception...tons of fun! It's such a great experience to have everyone you love and care about under one roof to celebrate with you. That night my uncle surprised us with a room at the Ritz Carleton. It was very shnazzy. We walked in and had tuxedo strawberries and champagne waiting for us. I, of course, couldn't drink any of it, but I definately ate all the strawberries! :) The next day (Sunday morning) was nice because we got to visit with all the relatives from out of town. That night...was a different story. Went to bed and woke up puking like I have never puked before. yes, the day after the wedding I got the intestinal flu. What great timing. So for the next 3 days Kyle was there to hold my hair back for me. By Wednesday night I was starting to feel better. So, of ocurse, that night it was Kyle who was up puking non stop. Our first week of marriage and we laid in bed deathly ill together. How romantic! :) That Saturday morning we were both determined to feel better because we were heading to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I'm not gonna go into massive details of the honeymoon because, again, it would just take too long. All I really need to say is that Hawaii (the island of Kauai) was indescribably beautiful and we had an amzing time. While we were there we got a phone call from my mom saying that a house we looked at and absolutely loved was being offered to us. See..what happened was that we looked through the house before the wedding and wanted it sooo bad but someone else had beat us to making an offer. Well, their mortgage fell through so we were next in line because we had put in a back up offer. So...2 days ago Kyle and I went and had the home inspection done and signed the papers!!!!! :) We bought our very first home together!! Theres still details and paper work to be done, so we're keeping our fingers crossed. If all goes well the closing should be around April 17th and the house will be ours! I'm so excited! i stay up at night decorating the nursery in my head :) Which brings me to my last update of this very long entry. Baby is doing great. Kyle and i went and had the ultra sound done a couple weeks ago and the Dr said everything is going smoothly. I'm getting a huge belly (and actually loving it!) and the baby is moving constantly. Other than a bit of nausea and leg cramping I've been feeling really good.
I probably have a bunch more I could share, but this entry has gotten a bit longer than i expected. So....a new update soon, I promise! |

Tonight Kyle took me to Ann Arbor to get ice cream. I'm not sure, but I'm assuming my mocha chip ice cream had a severe amount of caffeine cause boy am I wired!! I'm talking like if I had Spiderman ability I would be crawling all aver my walls and ceiling. Then I would probably use my web slingers and fill my apartment with spiderwebs that I could crawl all over and play in. *Note to self* No Mocha Chip ice cream after 8 pm.
After Stucchis we went to Borders. Which is a terrible idea seeing as how we are incapable of going into that store without spending lots of money. First we bought Stephanie a belated birthday present. We got her a book called Math Potatoes. It's very cute. Then Kyle began telling me that there is a book that we absolutely positively had to get for our son or daughter. We eventually found the book. It is called Everyone Poops. I'm not kidding. Not only is that the title, but the book is filled with graphic pictures of...poop! Daddy poop baby poop elephant poop fox poop bird poop fish poop. ALL kinds of poop!!! He said it will be a special book that only he is allowed to read to the kid. I, of course, did not disagree because I don't want to spend quality time with my child saying the word "poop" over and over and over again. Apparently some chldren have issues with pooping and the book is supposed to help with that. Am I crazy!? Am I the only person who has not heard of this book!? If anyone has..please comment! Let me know. I am not in any way saying I have a problem with this book. I think it's great that Kyle wants to educate our child about the importance of poop. Poop is very important. Constipation is bad.
Perhaps I should end this entry by talking about something other than poop. So...tomorrow after I get out of class I get to go apply for our marriage license. How exciting!!! Then I'm probably going to head to Briarwood to buy my sister her Matron of Honor gift. I've decided to go with a Coach purse. What girl doesn't want a Coach purse!? I'm hoping she likes it. So...if anyone is reading this and has nothing to do tomorrow after 2 pm..they should come shop with me! :) |

It's been entirely too long since my last update, so chances are that I'll forget to write about something that has went on in the past month. I'll do my best.
Today is February 1st which means I have exactly 17 days until the wedding. I would write everything out that I still have to do, but then I would get comments like, "What is wrong with you!? Are you nuts?!" I really need to get moving. The problem with that is for the past 3 or 4 days I have been crazy sick. I would venture out into the real world to get things done, but then I would infect people and they would be angry.
I had a Doctor appointment last week and Kyle got to come in the room with me and hear the babies heartbeat. It was very cool. February 22nd will be the best visit though because that's when they do the official ultrasound that can determine the sex of the baby. Kyle and I have both decided we are going to wait until the baby is born to find out, but it'll still be fun because they give us a vhs tape of the ultra sound and pictures and stuff. Right now the baby is about 4.57 inches long. At least that's what my pregnancy calendar says.
This past month has also been very exciting because Bill and I worked things out and became friends again. Kyle and I have went out a couple times with him and his girlfriend Shannon, which was lots of fun. She is so incredibly sweet. It's nice making new friends. :)
I must be really out of it because this entry is reading like it was written by a 5 year old. O well...you get the idea of what I'm trying to say.
I guess that's it for now. I'll update again when I'm not so ill...I promise! |

The holidays are over and I'm left to focus and concentrate on the wedding. I am feeling so overwhelmed it's insane. I feel like I have a million things to do and only a month to do it. I'm so anxious!! We're both more than ready for the honeymoon. This weather has been so cold and damp, I just have to keep telling myself that the end of next month we'll be lying on a beach in Kauia. Is that how you spell it? I'm totally drawing a blank. It's a small island in Hawaii...that's all I know. We got the flight information a few days ago. We'll fly from here to Chicago and then Chicago to Honolulu then from there we'll take a small plane to Kauia. One week in paradise with my husband. :))))
What else? Oh! I found my dream wedding gown! That's basically one of the biggest details when planning a wedding. I had been trying on gowns all day and was becoming tired and frustrated. Finally, at the end of the day I put on a dress and my mom and sister were like, "Yes! thats the one!" I love it so much. I'd post pictures, but I wouldn't want Kyle to come on here and see it before the wedding!! So...if you'd like to see pics of it...just ask.
Even though it has seemed like we have been really struggling for money for the wedding and honeymoon and a house and baby and new truck it seems like God always comes through with his perfect timing. We woke up yesterday morning planning on spending the day looking for a used car for him to drive before we bought a new F-150 that we've been wanting. Right when we were getting ready to leave the house my dad called to tell us that there was an ad in the paper for a 2006 F-150 XLT 2 year lease for $76 a month!!! It almost seemed too good to be true, but we decided to check on it anyway. So..my parents came along and we headed out to Dorian Ford. As soon as we got there I spotted a brand new F-150 that was Aspen green! How perfect! My dad worked his z plan magic and we ended up walking out the door with a brand new truck for $78 a month. Kyle was so giddy I thought he was going to pee! So..now we have a new truck to cart a baby along in. I refuse to be a soccer mini van mom!!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!! :) |

I don't get many things right the first time
in fact, I am told that a lot
now I know all the wrong times,
the stumbles and falls
brought me here
and where was I before the day
that I first saw your lovely face?
now I see it everyday, and I know...
that I am, I am
I am the luckiest
what if I'd been born 50 years before you
in a house on the street where you lived
maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
would I know?
and in a wide sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
and I know...
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
next door there's an old man,
who lived to his 90s and one day
passed away in his sleep
and his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
and passed away
I'm sorry I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
that I know...
that I am, I am
I am the luckiest |

So the past 2 weeks or so I have been crazy sick. Like...throwing up and headaches and living off crackers type sick. For about 5 minutes I kind of let it get to me but then I had the realization that I am one of the luckiest people in the world. God has blessed me with the ability to have a baby. Some women try for years and years and will never experience this joy. I have the most amazing family and friends who stand beside me and shower me with love daily. I have a man who, in just two short months, will become my husband, and I can thank god every single day for having him. The list could just go on and on. Which brings me to the point of this post. I sometimes find myself reading random live journals online. Some people I know, others I don't. One persons journal in particular has caught my attention. This girl devotes a great amount of time updating her journal about how terrible her life is. "I'm so sick and lonely and unhappy and depressed and a failure." I almost find myself becoming angry at this girl because I know her rants and complaints are all just figments of her imagination. From what I gather, she has a family that loves her deeply, an amazing boyfriend who loves her unconditionally, a roof over her head, an education that she fuels everyday, a paying job, and I would assume all of her vital organs. So, why does she find it necessary to spend all of her time talking about how terrible her life is? I am ,in no way, meaning to gang up on one particular person. I guess just society in general. Life is way way way too short to waste time complaining. My life is in no way perfect. I have really shitty days. I get upset and feel fat and everything else. but then I lay my head down at night in a warm bed in a clean house and realize things could be so much worse. My mom has a saying that she lives by everyday and I think everyone should take it to heart. She says that life is so short she's going to use 2 straws to suck it all up. I guess that's what I'm working towards, using 2 straws instead of one. This post is pretty pointless, it was just some things that were on my mind and I wanted to vent. That is all. |

| Baby details! |
[Dec. 1st, 2005|04:47 pm] |

Yesterday was my first Dr. appointment. So, here's the details. I am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My due date is July 23rd. The appointment went really good, well...the first part did. First I had to do the all famous pee in a cup, which I hate doing. Then they had to do a pap smear...hate those too. The Dr. was pushing crazy hard on my stomach and I kept thinking, "Be gentle!! There's a baby in there!!" I'm sure they know what they're doing, though. It is their job. Then I got to have an ultra sound!!!! That was the most amazing experience ever!! They put the cold jelly on my tummy and got down to business. I got to hear my babies heart beating!! I nearly cried. It was an experience that I can't even begin to explain. She showed me the baby on the monitor. I couldn't even believe that little thing was growing inside of me. It all seems so real now. She printed off the ultra sound picture which Kyle immediately called dibs on. He wanted to take it into the office and hang it up at his desk so everyone could see. It means so much to me that he is so excited. After the ultra sound I had to have major blood work done. This is where the visit went bad. So...I'm sitting in the lab and this ginormous black woman comes walking in. She begins pulling out vial after vial. All I could think was.."There is no way you are filling all of those with MY blood." Oh yes. Yes she was. They were the big vials too!!! Not the little tiny ones!!! So she stuck the needle in and begin the blood work. I was fine the first few vials. By about the 6th one I was feeling a little faint. I began blacking out (not my fault!!! They were taking waaay too much blood!!!) So....I pass out. She sticks that nasty smelling salt under my nose. Not only did I wake up...no, I wake up vomiting. It was AWFUL! I was blacking out and throwing up at the same time. I wanted to die. So, other than that little experience, the visit went great! I just wish I felt better. I have been so sick the past week or so. I'm going to find the person who came up with the term "morning sickness" and have a little chat with them! It is, in no way, just in the morning. I got my prenatal vitamins yesterday and the Dr said those should help with the nausea. Let's see....what else? I am tired allll the time. None of my pants fit anymore...none!! My mom and I are going to do shopping this weekend and I am going to stock up on stretchy pants! I guess that's all for now. I'll update again soon! :) |

It appears as though I will not be getting married in September as Kyle and I had planned. Instead we will be married much sooner. Why, you ask? Because Kyle and I are having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!! :) I cannot even begin to put into words how insanely ecstatic I am!!!!!! I found out Thursday morning and drove straight over to where Kyle works to give him the news. As soon as he walked out of the office and looked at my face he knew what I was going to tell him. He was crazy excited too!! So....we've been spending all of our free time house searching and rearranging wedding plans. Today when he gets off work we're driving out to a Ford Dealership in Holly to see about getting him a new F-150. Baby seats look very stylish in the backseat of trucks :))))))
That's the good news! My first Doctor appointment is the 30th...so I'll be keeping everyone posted on details. :) |

Reasons Savanna is excited about November (in no particular order):
1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire at the IMAX opening day. I can barely contain myself!!!! :)
2. Party at my apartment this Saturday!! Girls only. Oh yes, it is one of those sex toy/lingerie parties. Any female that is reading this and would like to attend...let me know!!
3. My mother informed me that we will be having Turducken for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Jealous? You should be. It is a great concotion of a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. I'm not joking. My mom read an article about it in National Geographic so she is having one shipped to our house on dry ice. It will be fabulous.
4. RENT opens in theatres. If they screw this musical up I will be angry. Very very angry.
5. My moms birthday is the 25th and we are all going out to some country bar that has a mechanical bull! :)
6. 10 months until I'm a married woman!!!!! :)
7. End of November means almost end of fall semester. |

So much new in the world of Savanna. OK, not really, I just don't update that much. Seeing as how I don't have classes on Fridays my weekend starts on Thursday, so I'll begin my update there. Met Emilie and Renee at Frenchtown and then we headed down to Toledo where Renee and I were fitted for our bridesmaid dresses for Emilies wedding. It was so incredibly great seeing Renee!! I have really missed her. It sucks that when I left Airport there were so many people I didn't stay in touch with nearly enough. We were really close in High School and both decided we need to make more of an effort to see one another. Renee just recently got engaged to a man named Tonino (He is WAY Italian) I am so happy for her!! Seeing as how Tonino is from Italy, Renee will be getting married in Florence Italy in one of those enormous amazing catholic churches! Back to the bridesmaid dresses...got to try on the dress, only it was in a different color. It was really pretty! I was kind of scared seeing as how there's always so much hype around the "awful bridesmaid dress." but I really liked it. Then Renee and I (with the help of Em) got to try on all kinds of wedding gowns. Very fun! Then we headed to dinner where we sat for over two hours eating (wayyy too much) and discussing major wedding plans. People sitting around us probably thought we were crazy, partially because we had all had a couple drinks and we're being loud and partially because we sounded like a bunch of giddy brides-to-be, but it was so nice (and such a relief) to be able to spend an evening with those girls.
The rest of the weekend pretty much consisted of running errands and Kyle and I searching for a house. Unless of course you count the Halloween party we went to last night where I got my mom to do a shot on the ice luge (no clue hot to spell luge) Either way, it was funny.
I got a call from my mom this morning telling me that my niece is still in the hospital. They discovered she has really bad asthma and are having a hard time controlling the amount of oxygen in her blood or something like that. They're still running tests, so I don't have too much info. Poor little baby :(
I have a ton of homework to do. Writing this lj entry was just one of my many ways of procrastinating. I guess I'll get started on that. |

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now I’m just rollin’ home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you |
