Darn it, why am I having such a hard time writing? Probably because I don't have much to say right now! I'm just a busy bee at school working away! Here is the exciting thing that happened today:
So, I booked a DJ & Lighting from the same people! It was a pretty great deal! The more things you booked from them, the cheaper things were! Yahoo! So, in March I got a DJ for $500 (I think) and uplights for $295.
Today I got an email that said, since you booked a DJ with us, if you book lighting as well you can get it for only $195 instead of the $295. So, I sent an email, then thought...just call! So, I called and spoke with the same guy I spoke with before and said...I booked my stuff in March. But now there is a lighting deal. Can I get that deal? The answer was Yes!!! I was prepared for a "No" and had an argument ready to go, but none was needed! So, I just saved $100, just like that!
I started to make my "To-Do" list for my wedding! It was starting to get really long (which was too much for me to handle at the moment) so I changed it to be my "To-Do" list for wedding DIY stuff. Here is what I have thus far:
Invites
Clean Centerpieces
Paint Centerpieces
Glitter Centerpieces (maybe)
Make fabric flower
Make bouquets
Table Numbers
Wedding Signs
Things to think about in the future:
Video Montage for rehearsal dinner
rehearsal dinner packets
wedding program
Flower Girl Dress
Escort Cards
Ahhh!!!!!!! So, the first list are things I would like to work on this summer. The second list are things that I can work on later...because we don't have the stuff yet. LIke the Escort cards and Abby's dress- what if she grows? Ha ha ha!
My schedule is filling up quite nicely this fall and winter already. So, I need to do stuff now. What is my fall schedule you ask?
ABMS- Full time
ABMS Musical- August-October
Gardner High Musical- September-November
Desoto High School- September-November (this is not for sure)
Olathe Ford- Part Time
Church Christmas Program-November-December
Christmas
CYT Winter Show- November-February
BVMS Musical- January-March
I'm sorry...what? This is just nuts! However, I will hopefully make a lot of money before the wedding. Which will hopefully go to savings! So, that is what I'm thinking about when I start becoming "Schedule Claustrophobic". Ha ha ha! The other good thing is that the last show ends the first week of March! So, I will have the last month before the wedding off! I will have spring break to work at Ford and to do wedding stuff! So, yahoo!
Okay, that is all for today! I need to get on this list and really rock out this summer with wedding stuff!

Oh my...I have things to do!
So, I was so excited to meet with the Caterer's tonight. Mainly because I just want the big stuff to be done! However the gal we were supposed to meet with is out sick. So, I had to reschedule for next week. It's a little buggy...but only because I scheduled it last week...and now it's next week. But oh well! So, next Thursday will be the day we go to the caterer!
Let's see what else is new...
The drama teacher at BVMS is going to the high school. I was a bit sad, because he is great to work with and that is a great paying gig! The good news is that today the new drama contacted me about choreographing for them! Yahoo!!!
Today, I went to the Dr. to talk about having mole removed! It's very ugly and I have hated it for a long time! She said, even though there are some medical concerns...she would suggest removal anyway due to it's size! Yahoo! So, tomorrow I will be having it removed! I'm very excited for this as well! She said it will take 6-9 months for the redness to go away! It's a good thing I'm doing it now...less than 11 months from the wedding!
I have been working on my invitations and I think I have them just right! I looked and looked and really felt overwhelmed at all of the options. Plus nothing stuck out to me! Then I saw one that I liked, but I didn't like the color's. Maybe they have other options. They did...but not in the right colors! So, I took the idea from that design and made it my own! Now, I have to see if Kinko's will print it...or if it would be cheaper to have it printed online. Or if some of these business' can print them for cheaper! Next step on that! Yahoo!
Things that are left on the wedding list:
Caterer- next week
Invites- for the most part done
Flowers- working on those this summer
Centerpieces- work on those this summer
Boutonnieres- work on this summer
Final guest list- yikes
Okay, I'm going to stop my list...or it's going to get crazy long! Those are some major things that we need to do...yikes!
I keep saying working on things this summer because here is what my schedule will look like:
Summer-
Willy Wonka- Gardner Community Theatre
Hello Dolly- StageworX
Fall
August- October- ABMS School Musical
September-November- Gardner High School Musical
September-November- DeSoto High School Musical- maybe
October-December- Kids Christmas Program at church
November- February- CTY's Winter Musical
January-March- Blue Valley Middle School's Musical
August-May- Aubry Bend Middle School
August- March- Olathe Ford LINCOLN
So, to say I will be busy this next school year is laughable! Which is why a lot of things are falling to the summer for me to work on them! I know that ABMS and Gardner shows should be less dance. I know that CYT's show should be less dance as well. I'm not sure about DeSoto or BVMS! The bottom line is that it's money! And I'm happy about that! I'm ready for the break that will change things up a bit! AKA Summer! Bring it on!

If you don't want to hear about my bad dream...don't read this! Ha ha ha
Holy smokes...my days have been really busy! I have a lot of choreographing to do...so I have not had a lot of down time! Then there is the normal job stuff that I have to do as well! It's just been weird!
I dream a lot! I would say just about every night I dream! I dream weird dreams with a lot of details! I dream in color...and most of my dreams are bad dreams. I don't talk about my dreams a lot...I mean who wants to hear about bad dreams? Um...no one! But that is how it is! There are also some people in my family who don't want to hear about dreams. Can you blame them? I was in a room then all of a sudden I was in the ocean...I mean come on? Really? The Ocean? There have been times when I don't believe people's dreams! Especially if they are bad story tellers...ha ha ha! But that is another post!
I'm writing today, because last night I had a dream that I was kidnapped! I can't get away from the feeling it gave me. This one had so many details...it freaked me out. Here are some of the highlights...ha ha ha:
1. I was kidnapped from a store during the day.
2. I did try to fight it...so I was proud of that!
2.5 I also remember getting mad at someone in the store who did not help as I was being mistreated! They must not have watched the bullying video's!
3. Every time I tried to text someone that I had been kidnapped...I couldn't get the phone or the buttons to work. That was so frustrating.
4. There was one main kidnapper and 3 not so main kidnappers.
5. They took all of my money...like everything in my checking!
6. I somehow just knew that if I tried to run or get help they would hurt the people I love!
7. While kidnapped we went out to eat. I saw my family- including all of my sisters and my fiance there! I was not able to tell my fiance that I had been kidnapped. But I was able to tell my sisters! They gave me money. I'm not sure what it would have been for...but very weird!
8. At one point I was taken into a room and the girls said It's lunch time and brought out a tray of mints. I remember being devastated that it was just mints! I was hungry I guess! Ha ha ha- but only mints for lunch is torture...at least for me!
9. I know what my kidnapper looks like. Are they a real person? Who knows? But if I see them...it's going to freak me out!
10. My kidnapper was "charming". I had the feeling if I did try to get help, that no one would believe me because of his "charm"!
So, I woke up with an awful feeling! The dream itself had a feeling to it as well. One that I can only describe as a "taste". So, when I closed my eyes, I had the same feeling. And throughout the day I will get a wave of that same feeling! Which is why I decided to write about it! It's just a weird feeling! It was a weird dream...and it took me a while to get out of that. I would start to fall back asleep and then be back in the dream...so I would wake up...and then close my eyes again and be back! So buggy!
Besides my crazy dreams, not much else is going on in my life! Just a lot of work...work...and more work! Oh well, post more later!

A freak out moment!
So, today they updated our computer system. The internet was moving really really slowly! So, I restarted my computer and started opening my normal tabs. I went to open gmail and up popped a really weird message. This website is not recommended! There was a brief moment of panic! What was I going to do if I could not open my gmail! I mean that is where all of the family emails happen! Where my friend emails occur! Where I can talk with my sister/fiance/friend! I can get advice or give advice! It's the 2 site I open, the first being my work website! It's a must!
So, I typed it in again! The message was the same! Some real panic is happening now! Inner dialog:
Oh my goodness, what will I do? How can they do this? That would be so dumb to take away gmail! I guess I can check my phone for eamils...but I can't gchat! This is terrible! If they took away gmail, they would have to of taken away other things as well! Like Pinterest! WHat if they took pinterest away! They tried that once and it was horrible! Let's click on the button that says "take me to the website anyway (not recomended" and see if they took away pinterest! Yahoo, pinterest you area still here! And now gmail is back! Crisis adverted! Life is good again! First world problems!
It's so funny how things are just always there so to not have them there is crazy! Once at a STAMP event we made it a phone free zone. It was so weird. None of us are super crazy, but we would catch ourselves saying things like "Look this up" or "google that". We did talk more...and no one played dumb things! Ha ha ha! My uncle said he made Wednesday's phone free and his son found out he could play the piano (no lessons...yes we kind of hate how talented he is...but if anyone outside the family says anything like that...we will hurt you!)
I love technology and I hate it! Oh well, I love my first world problems! I know I should be more socially aware...but I can't handle that! I can hardly handle the Sara McGlophlin (wow, look at that spelling...sound it out folks) commercials! In the arms of an angel...with little puppy dog faces all abused! I might start crying right now! Or reading about girls being sold into sex slavery! It literally hurts my heart! I mean, I started crying when my sister was telling me about a video she watched on how they killed baby cows for Veel! I mean...come on! Okay folks, I'm getting sad!
So, for the moment, my world is okay! And for the moment, I will enjoy being okay!
