A Woman’s Diary

Wow…it’s been awhile. Sorry about that. I’ve been so caught up with teaching and doing my wedding planning that I barely have any time to come online for a quick update.

The wedding plans have been going great so far. We have almost everything done and over with. We got the hall booked, dj booked, photographer booked, and so much other things done. I just have a few touches to do here and there, one of them being the bridesmaid dresses.

Gotta still get that done and get the orders in by the end of the month. I keep switching colours but I think I’m set to having them a teal colour. We’ll see how it turns out.

Anyways, I have to get going to bed because I have to get up early in the morning to head to work. Have a great night!!!

Well, it’s New Years Eve and I’m sure many of you are preparing for your gatherings and whatnot. I on the other hand am celebrating at home with family, which is always nice. So from my family to yours,

“Happy New Year!“

Some of my new year resolutions include:

• get a full time job
• move out into my own place
• try to better my health
• embrace God in my life

Other things I want to accomplish include:

• write more poetry
• make my own rosary
• spend less money on Ebay
• further develop my photography portfolio

I am officially finished Christmas shopping. Yippy!! All the gifts are wrapped and under the tree. I’ll take a photo in the daytime because it’s late now. The only thing I’m waiting for is for two packages to come in the mail. One is something for my father and the other is something for my sister.

It’s taking way too long for these things to deliver. The last day is on Monday. If they don’t come by then I’m gonna freak out because we open gifts that night. *sigh….I really hope they come*

As I mentioned probably a million times across all my blogs, my older sister got engaged not too long. Everyone in my family is already looking for the dresses and clothing that we’ll wear when that special day comes next year.

My dad even bought gold cufflinks ahead of time for his suit. They are gorgeous!! I can picture the day now with everything running smoothly. Oh ya, did I mention my sister is having my dog as part of the bridal party? LOL! It’s going to be hilarious!!

She gets to walk up the aisle too next to the ring bearers and flower girls. I can’t wait to see it unfold!!

I finally got around to snapping some Christmas related photos in my house. I took pictures of our tree, ornaments, and some other decor. The photos turned out really nice. Here they are below.

Well, our house has been decorated since the middle of November. So I’ve decided to post some photos of our tree here for all to see. Here are two shots of it. One is just normal and the other is with the lights on. This is my mom’s hard work. She loves decorating the tree.

Unfortunately we no longer have a family tradition where everyone helps to decorate it. We’ve all grown up and are usually never home at the same time. So my mom takes it upon herself to put it up and decorate. She did a fabulous job.

The holiday season is upon us so start going out and getting all those gifts ready.

If you have a girlfriend or wife, I suggest you get some bling bling for them.

You can find gorgeous ones from DiamondsOfTheDay.com. They have a bunch of Diamonds, Loose diamonds, Wholesale Loose Diamonds, and others to choose from. Spend a little of your time there because I’m sure you’ll find that perfect gift for the special woman in your life.

Remember, diamonds are a girl’s best friend. LOL!

Christmas is around the corner. I’m already noticing the amount of people putting up the Christmas decoration and exterior lighting at their house. When I drive around at night, it brings back memories of my old neighbourhood. Everyone had decorations and Christmas lights every night!! It was pretty amazing.

I can’t wait until my mother starts putting up the decorations around our house. I already have gifts that need to go under the tree. They are just waiting in the living room right now.

I still have a few gifts to get but can’t do so until I earn a little more money. Hopefully I’ll be able to do so by the end of the month. *crosses fingers*

Over the summer, my sister and her boyfriend went shopping to different jewelry stores at least once a week. It was really crazy. I knew they were in love and planning on getting engaged, but shopping so many times a month looking at a variety of diamond rings is a bit much. Don’t you think?

I guess it all paid off because they got engaged in the middle of October. The wedding planning is pretty intense though. It seems they are doing so much everyday to make it all happen next August.

I hope it all works about because I want it to be really nice and work out as planned. I’m actually looking forward to it even though I hate attending weddings. I guess I have no choice for this one because there’s no way I’d let my sister down.

Let me give you a quick update on what’s going on in my life.

• My nephew was born on Monday November 12, 2007
• I skipped school nearly the entire week.
• I’m planning on not going back next semester
• Want to brush up on my photography skills & finish my certificates
• Need to make money ASAP!!
• Some Christmas shopping still remains. (I want to get it done before the storms start rolling in)
• fix up some of my sites that got screwed up
• do some major blogging and catching up with my online life

Tomorrow is our dad’s birthday. He’ll be turning 51 years old. It’s crazy how time goes by so quickly. Hopefully it’ll be a nice birthday. We’ll celebrate it this weekend though because he’s working when everyone is home. I won’t be able to say Happy Birthday until later tomorrow night. Oh well, better late than never.
