Pointless!

I'm totally procrastinating on this wedding planning stuff...
got the venue, got my dress, all my brides maids got their dresses ordered, got a trailer, got the honey moon...
yeah that's about it.HA.

Next on the list is picking the flower girl dress, who's doing the flowers, and the cake...cupcakes, in my case :)

But, this is me. And Me is not a bridezilla.
This bride just wants to be married; all that other wedding stuff is just petty.



And this is my favorite youtube video right now..
check it out.
this is awesome.


:D


Winter Quarter starts tomorrow...BOOOOOOOOOOO.

Musical Wish List.

I assume I'll be posting several different wish lists...but this is the one dedicated completely to the things that make my ears oh so happy. I mean hey..it never hurts to dream eh?


So. I need...

I have one already, but it's like literally from the 80's and doesn't look very cool...and it's insanely bulky..you know, complete with radio and dual tape player.
yeah.

Along with that, I'll need this..

Pretty much every time i've gone into an Urban Outfitters over the past year, I've picked this vinyl up to buy it..and eventually ended up sitting back down somewhere, and talking myself out of it because I already have the cd, and I could use the extra money to buy a moustache coffee mug or something...

Speaking of which...when I saw this vinyl online, a John Lennon album was right under it...and every single time I see or think about John Lennon now, Ty's grandma singing "Imagine" comes to my mind..
Not that I dislike the thought, it just makes me laugh..the first time I ever met her she serenaded me with the song, and preceded to tell me how people don't need to go to the gym to work out, they should just turn on The Beatles and dance like her...

Ha..just thinking about that brought a huge grin to my face. She's adorable.

moving on...

When my sister and Ty first pointed these big bulky things out to me, and said they would both love some, I looked at them like they'd lost their minds..
but the more I think about it..I think they'd be awesome to have. So there.

And on to smaller music technology, I'm trying to decide whether I really want this..

Or one of these tiny little cute things..

If you know me, you know I LOVE tiny things. I can't explain it, I just do.

I'm thinking touch would be more practical, with my obsession with ipod game apps, as well as the face time on the ipod touch gen. 4, but they're way more expensive, and I just don't know if I really need all that?
and then I go back to just how stinking adorable the little nano is...and I can pick any color I want...

Well, that's enough of my dreaming for now...
I've got a 3rd Thanksgiving today! woo!

Merry Thanksgiving, Happy Christmas!

So I had just typed a seriously long and boring blog about why I love Thanksgiving and the holidays...and then I went to post a dashboard video at the end...
and it just reminded me how much I freaking love them...
so I just deleted the entire thing..
not because I love Chris Carraba more than the holidays (though he comes in a close second), but because everyone probably already knows how much I love the holidays..
and I'd rather post about Dashboard.
so there :).



His vocals aren't the best on this performance..but he's so freaking adorable here.


And yes, I realize this is a very "obsessed high school girl" post.
and no, I don't care. :)

To let you know..

Just a post to let you know i'm not dead!!

I've got a lot on my plate right now!
I'm a full-time student, part time employee, and my own wedding planner! I'm super busy! ..but not as busy as i should be, lol.

I'm doing better in school this quarter I think.
I'm really proud of myself.

In wedding/future Shirey news..
We're looking for a place to call home!

We both really want to buy a trailer...we just can't seem to find many!
If you know anybody selling trailers around here, let us know!

Otherwise, we're going for an apartment..which is ok, but i'm into privacy.lol.

Before I hit the books..

I'm procrastinating again..

I'm about to study it up for the next how many ever hours for my big Geology and Geography tests tomorrow!

I'm so sick of studying for that stuff that I decided to blog a little before I started it back up again tonight..

Sooooo...
135 days til I become Mrs. Shirey!

and seriously, those days are not passing fast enough!

About to sit down with my aunt, who is catering the wedding,this weekend and talk about what foods we want! woooo!

Gracious and Faithful, God of Specifics.

This week (well every week, but this week in particular), My God has again shown me what king of wonderful he really is.

It's so amazing... how even when we're not faithful..He still is.
and when we don't deserve another single ounce of grace... He still gives it.

Money's been tight lately, for both me and my fiance. It's just been one of those weeks where it seems like random things you suddenly have to pay for come up... speeding tickets..parking decals..vet bills..you know, that stuff.
But even when my bank account was supposed to be empty, and Ty wasn't supposed to have anymore checks to deposit..somehow, it happened.

- A girl I used to work with at Chick Fil A gave me free tickets to a concert Ty and I really wanted to go to, but it was gonna hurt to fork over $60 bucks to go see..and she gave them to us free!! BLESSING!

- After the (free) concert, we went out to eat with some friends of ours (after said friends had already introduced Ty to one of his worship leading "idols"). At the end of the meal, our friend insisted we let him pay for our food. BLESSING AGAIN!

Maybe this stuff doesn't sound big to you..but being engaged to marry in 5 months..we're trying to save all the money we can so we can afford a place to live and what not, and with all the recent things we've each had to pay for, it's not making saving too easy!

At TheTable this past Thursday, a girl mentioned how God loves us so much, that he even does little things, that He knows we, specifically, would love. Like giving me free tickets to a concert..someone else may not have cared about that concert..but it really meant a lot to me. And how I got to learn how to crochet this week ( from my awesome friend Melanie)...which again, other people might not care about, but I LOVED getting to learn something new! So thankful, for a God who loves me this much!

And His grace...oh, He's so gracious.
Even when I've not been a good daughter, He's been such a merciful and gracious Father. Even when i've paid my studies, my friends, my fiance, etc more attention that He...He STILL pours out blessings on me.

I can't type enough about this. about Him.

But there you have it :)

Funny Story.

As I have mentioned in my past few posts, I have been looking for an outside wedding venue...
and after much freaking out and fretting..
I went back, with my parents, to look one last time at Landry's Vineyard ( where I had originally decided the second I saw it, to have the wedding) before I went with a different venue.

and later that night I took Ty, and our friend Ryan and Lindsey, out to see it again...

needless to say, I remember why I fell in love with that place..

therefore,

The Shirey wedding will officially be on March 5,2011 , at Landry's Vineyard!!
