Wedding woes/New nephew/Hawaii is coming fast!

Last night I had trouble sleeping because I had a feeling something was wrong with the reception venue. Sure enough when I called them this morning they told me that we had no reservation! They told me that we were just penciled in and they didnt have a contract for us???.... I was so upset because we are 2 weeks away from our wedding and this was the place we put on our invitations. There was no way we would find another venue in such short notice and I was livid! Kevin got on the phone with his sister, who signed the contract and put the deposit down in JANUARY for this. Well to make a long story short, one of the people that bumped our reservation agreed to have their event Friday night instead and all was well. The venue had our contract but somehow didnt put us in the system and double booked the room we were using. It was so very frustrating and I was so mad that I left the house and drove around for awhile just so I wouldnt blow up at Kevin. Im glad everything worked out, Kevin was very supportive and realizes this is very important to me. We have a meeting with this venue Friday and Im going to have a talk with the manager. This could have been an awful situation.

In more wonderful news, Kevins sister in law gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Nicholas yesterday at 5:43pm! I cant wait to see him when we go to Ohio this weekend! I just love babies and seeing Nicholas is just gonna make me want a baby more :-) Plus Kevins sister Kacey is due to have a boy this July! Kevin was so sweet about telling me Ashley had gone into labor. He came home from running at about 7:30am to tell me that I was going to be an aunt again because Ash had gone to to the hospital to deliver. He has bent over backwards to welcome me into his family! I really love his family they have also been welcoming from day one and I cant wait to make it official June 12th!

Aside from the reception fiasco, today was a good day. I did a little retail therapy (which I never do-yes I admit I hate shopping, especially for clothes) and it was actually nice! It took my mind off of what happened this morning so that was good!

Made chili for dinner and then went to the gym. Kevin almost never goes with me anymore which sucks cuz he is my favorite workout buddy. It upsets me but whatever, Im getting used to it.  Oh well, Ive got to keep my discipline and keep going even if I dont feel like it sometimes. I really want to lose weight and my hip feels much stronger and the pain is not as intense on a day to day basis (birth defect, multiple surgeries, long boring story haha).

So Im realizing Hawaii is creeping up on us faster than we thought!. 4 days after we get married we go to a meeting where Kevin will officially get his orders and a list of things to do as well as paperwork paperwork and more paperwork! Hopefully we can put some sort of an itinerary with the calendar then too! I think Im more excited about going to Hawaii than he is, the other day he told me to stop being so excited and I got really upset. Ive been doing research on military life out there and talking to real wives who live there and arent gonna sugarcoat it for me. I realize that things will probably not go to plan as far as move wise. I also realize that the army makes the rules not us. We just go along with whatever they say. I guess he just doesnt understand that I am aware of the ever changing world of a military family. Im so ready to leave Va and experience a new place, and start a new adventure with him. I am scared of him getting deployed as soon as we get there. I know that its a possibility and Ive dealt with deployment before, but sheesh army let him get inside the door and put his stuff down for a minute ya know? Im definitely planning for worst case scenario (deployment right away) so that way I wont be shocked if it happens, but I will be pleasantly suprised if it doesnt! So until that time happens Im just going to tell him I love him everyday and take advantage of the time we spend together!

On a more sleepy note (haha) Im headed to bed! Good night world!
