So it seems that good things are happening these days. I may seem stressed from time to time about all that is going on, but deep down I am loving it. Between work and school there isn't much time, but I do my best to make time for what I see fit.
I love school!! I don't know what I would've done if I had stayed at the other school. Being at this school has helped me so much. I'm on the student council, and the school is doing charity stuff right now so I'm trying to get really involved in that too. The only thing I need to prep myself for just a bit more is that if no one falls through, or I don't get enough. Shoot at least I did something and that is what counts. I just need to keep that in my head. Now I just need to start working on the beacon project. I know that will take up a lot of my time. I just need to pick which idea to go with.
Things between Tim & I are just great!!! We both are working at loosing weight, and its paying off. I've lost pretty close to 10 lbs and dropping. I always drop inches before I drop weight. I can feel it, and see it in my clothes. Tim's loosing weight too. Its a nice feeling to be doing it for not only ourselves but for each other. So we feel good for each other ya know. I swear Tim is the greatest man on this planet. He loves me no matter what mood I am, what clothes I wear, and just loves me. It feels great!! I couldn't have asked for anyone else. The other day we went shopping for some new stuff for us. Kind of like building our lifes together. Getting rid of the old and building with the new and support of each other. We've both grown so much together that its just amazing I tell ya. And we are so supportive of each other and it just makes each day easier waking up knowing you are next to the one you love and loves you and all that goes with the package.
So to sum it up... I feel that things are going great!! I may have my moments but don't we all in life. I just don't dwell on it, and if I do I continue to work on that as well.

I know I haven't been posting much on here. I've been posting more on myspace and just copying it onto here because I know not everyone is on myspace.
Just a quickie update... School is good... I'm finally on the floor, well almost, and I can't wait to get my hands on some hair. Of course Tim and I got married so thats been the best news as of yet. And everything else if going fine. Just trying to save money as much as possible so we can save up for those things we want most.
But really thats it... for now... I'm a little tired and ready for bed. So maybe more will be posted another day.

As of about 2:30 pm today (1/16/2006) I was offically announced Mrs. Cox. Just thought I'd share that with those of you who read this.
Yes this was done out of the blue but ya know what... We enjoyed every moment of it. It was everything we wanted and more. So no preaching or anything else (we've heard enough as is). We are as happy as can be and don't need to hear otherwise. We are in love and lovin it!!!
Pictures will be uploaded as time allows. Which should hopefully be by the end of the week. At the end of this week I'll be on the floor at school. So things are hectic this week.
I'll write more later but right now I'm exhausted.

So this year maybe ending, but so far it has written some beautiful and a few sad pages in my book of life. Looking back on this year I've just been blessed with many great and wonderful things. Even the not so great moments have proved to be a rather interesting and in part a joyful experience. I hope every one of my friends have been blessed with the same this year.
Yesterday I had one of the best days ever. I got to see my best friend that I haven't seen in 3 or more years. I miss him dearly and I wish I had taken some pictures but I still have the memories. It was wonderful to finally see him and know that all is well with him. It was great to rehash some of those old memories but great to make a day full of new ones. I miss him already. Other than that, I had received several gift cards for Christmas, and so it was time to spend them. We had quite the interesting adventure in the Container Store. It involved me dropping my Jamba Juice drink, poking a hole in my cup, which made quite the mess of green tea smoothie. Then I even proceeded to loose one of the gift cards. Russ and I had quite a few laughs at all this while Tim just stood there and shook his head.
Then it was on to Super Target where we spent too much time looking at stuff that I couldn't make up my mind on. Then I found what I wanted.... I now have a color inkjet printer. Not something I WANTED, but it was something that was NEEDED. It's a HP Deskjet 3930 color printer. It works wonderfully. Last night I even fixed up a pixeled picture for my school look book project. I printed it all out and now my look book for school is the shit. All in color of purples and just in color. Now I can even do the wedding invitations when I want and not have to wait. Plus that will save like $100 or more. I can even make my own business cards to hand out to people and build up a clientele. So I'm very excited about my christmas present. Which by the way I got everything I asked for plus more that I was not expecting. Shoot I still have one more gift card to dispose of/spend.
Lets see just a couple more things... School is going fantastic!!! We have two more weeks of core class before we go out onto the floor. I'm a little nervous, but I just have to have faith that I can do it and that my work will be the best and my client will love it. I already have a few people that are just waiting for me to get on the floor so I can do their hair and show them my skills. School is just so exciting. I love all this learning process, and getting to be creative with someone's hair and the biggest thing of all is making a person feel good about themselves. I love it!!!!
Last thing... I think..... Tim and I are doing wonderful. This year has proved to be a wonderful time for us. I feel that next year holds even more wonderful things. The wedding planning has been going alright so far. I meet with 3 florists in one day here in a couple weeks. I think it's a lot to do in one day, but someone has to take the bull by the horns and get it done. I hope to have invitations done here in the next month or so. Also, we ran into a kind of bump for the wedding party. There have been one or two people that are just hard to get a hold of or just can't reach at all. So some changes might be done to that. So other than all that the wedding planning is going okay. I can't wait to finally have that done and over with. Shoot if it wasn't for my aunt we'd just take off to Vegas unannounced and say hello to Elvis at some drive-thru chapel, and have a weekend of fun. Just us... We did do some re-arranging and re-organizing of the apartment. Feels so much better in here. I love it....
Oh shoot did I forget to add that we are going to ring in the New Year at Minc. I can't wait for this... All friends, great music, and lots of drinking. I think this will be the event to behold. I'm going to get all dressed up, makeup, and hair curled. Watch out ladies n gents... I will be fierced tonight!!!!
So all in all... Things are just great around here and they are only going to get better. May have some bumps in the road, but who doesn't. Just make sure to not go so fast over them because in the long run it'll ruin your suspension. After today the chapter of 2005 will be finished, and no final editing. The new chapter for 2006, age 25 will be starting.

| turkey, cookies, homeplay, and PS2 |
[25 Nov 2005|08:43pm] |
So far the turkey holiday has served its purpose. I have gotten some needed sleep, and too much food. Shoot even today we had steak and potatoes which is far more than what I'm used too. It was good to see family though. I've been working on a diet but I know not much will happen right now until after the food frenzied holidays. So right now I'm baking cookies. Well actually they are done... Just cooling off.
I've also been slaving over "homeplay". The schools fun term for homework. Man its just tedious I guess. I have a pretty good warm fire going too. Lets just hope it reaches the bedroom by the time for bed. Never really reaches that far... Oh well I have my own personal heater right in my own bed. He provides the best warmth ever.
We also obtained a playstation 2 over the holiday. We now have a new addiction. We already went and got 4 games for it. Now if only I could get past this damn homeplay so I can play on it. Well tomorrow I go do some wedding planning with my aunt, and dinner as well. So yet another big meal to eat tomorrow. I'm excited, and excited to hear that my mom and dad will be there too. They confirmed it yesterday. Aunt Tam is very excited and proud of all that is going on. She boosted about me at the dinner table and boosted about the wedding. It was nice.... But I am excited to get some planning done.
Well I think the cookies are done.... So time to put them up, eat some, and try to finish this damn chapter study guide... Maybe more later... who knows...
oh and pictures from the concert will be posted as soon as I find some more time. Just too busy these days.

LAST NIGHT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
Man we had such a blast!!! We rode the rail on down to the West end and had the little meet up at HOOTERS, was some good times. We had a bunch of food and beer. Laughter and good times. Then we walked our happy selves on over the the AA center. Got our tickets and proceeded to get a t-shirt and poster. As we did that we bumped into a bunch of friends and hung out in the No7 Jack Daniels place inside. Saw more friends. By that time I was ready to sit down and we had already missed the first act, The Bravery.
We proceeded on to our section and bumped into more friends. As we made our way to our seats we found some more friends that were in the same section as us. We chatted and laughed. The show started and I can't even begin to describe how fantastic it was. They played all my favorites plus a bunch more. We took a bunch of pretty decent pictures and hopefully some decent video. Which I will post a link too at a later time. They even played "somebody" As part of the first encore. Thats right they had TWO encores. Ah it was so great!!!
Man what a show... Now I'm dog tired and I have work then school today. So now I need to work on fixing my wake up tea and getting to work to make the day go by. Man what fun we had last night, and I can't wait to get the pictures posted to share. I hope that anyone else that went had such a fantastic time like we did and hope you make it through the day if you are tired...

Alright I'm guilty of posting the same thing on myspace as I do here, but ya know what... how much more different can it get? Not that much... Just the same but different places... because for some crazy reason I think that there is people that read this that actually read what I post and like to keep updated... So now for the update.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay so things have been super exciting these past few days. Friday I managed to med things with my best friend, and we are talking like we used too. Hopefully even hanging out like we used to. I miss her company so much.
Well I went to school orentation Saturday. I tell you that school blew me away. Its 10 times better that ITS. They incourage positivety and different ways to learn. I mean this place is just fantastic. I haven't gotten my kit yet and I would be getting it Tuesday, but I'll be at the Depeche Mode concert so I'll be in class Wednesday. I'm so glad that they worked with me on that. That school is going to be the best thing for me in working towards my goal.
Now for the concert tomorrow. A bunch of friends are meeting us at the rail and going down with us to the West End for drinks and then on to the show. Man I tell ya the rail is the best way to go to an event at the AA center. I can't wait for this. I've been jamming out to Depeche Mode for months now and I'm so ready. At work today I was listening to 101 and I was just so jazzed to see them live. I can't wait. We are taking the camera so we can take video's and pictures. No flash though, but hey,... at least we can have pictures. I can't wait for this show. But for now... Its time to rest.... I will post more about school and the concert later.

Well orentation is tomorrow. I'm not nervous really, just not ready to be busy. I am excited though. I think this school is going to be so much better than ITS. Depeche Mode is also on Tuesday next week. Which I can't wait for that. I go see my friend Nola tonight. I haven't seen her and it feels good to see her. Like I'm not relucent.
OH I wanted to share these pictures for halloween. They are so cute and I just had to share them. I know we aren't dressed up but I didn't want to and neither did he. We had fun anyways... Until my migraine that is.. But here is the pictures...

As I'm sure some of you may know... NIN kicked ass. We had a great time and now its time to wait for Depeche Mode. Not much to say really because I haven't been feeling well. Damn sinus infections. Oh well I'll just have to tough it out till its gone or have money to see a doc.

I am just not feeling myself today. I have no idea why really... I really think it could be hormone overdrive from my B/C with a combo of just sitting around and not doing a whole lot these days. I have been feeling kind of useless and no motivation cause of all this sitting around. Who knows... I just know that I need to call my doctor and see what she recommends for a non-hormonal B/C. A little risky but I can't take this any more. I just don't feel like myself these past two days.

Life is good!!! I'm jammin out to Depeche Mode at work and I'm so caught up that I won't have anything to do on monday. I am going to marry the greatest man in the world, and I love him so much its not describable. I start school in a month at a great school that I've always wanted to go too. I'm going to have an actually white wedding. I'm going to be seeing NIN in October, and Depeche Mode in November. Things are just good and getting better. I'm so happy right now that I'm dancing in my chair as I jam to the music.

I totally forgot that school starts on Nov 5th, well orentation does, and the actual first day of class starts Nov 8th. Well guess what I just bought tickets to that the show is on Nov 8th.... FREAKIN DECEPHE MODE!!! OH yeah and the tickets are will call so I have to pick them up.
I have no idea what I'm going to do. Hopefully the school will work with me and let me make up the hours. Who knows... I just feel like such a dumby because I couldn't pay attention to the dates. I was too excited by the tickets that I forgot about school, and I was so excited to go to school that I forgot about the show.
Keep your fingers crossed that this is a workable and I won't be kickin myself in the ass more. *fingers crossed*

| A Lazy weekend |

So I didn't do jack this weekend. I was so lazy to the point that I started to feel depressed and worthless, because all I did was sit there. I only sat around because I had the strict instructions from Doc. Tim to rest all weekend so I can feel better. I do feel better, but my jaw is still bothering me a little. Its not spazing out like it was over the weekend.
I'm so ready to get this planning for the wedding done, but I have to wait for my aunt to get back from her trip to do anything about it. I have no idea what kind of budget I have, what I'm allowed or anything. I've already found a florist, which I don't even have to look at her portfolio to know what a wonderful job she does. Her website was enough for me. I've found a photographer, which my aunt said she could do that, but I don't want her to have to worry about the stress of picture taking. I've also come up with idea's on decorations, cake, invitations, and all other sorts of stuff.... BUT my aunt isn't ready to plan until she comes back. So thats kind of frustrating right now.
School, well, I'm back to broke. AT least I managed to replace the money I spent on the dress, but I still need more. I almost came to the conclusion that I don't want to do hair anymore, but I had to remind myself that office work is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. So I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that all will work out the way it will work out. Work is fine too. I really don't mind what I"m doing. I kind of like but hey its simple and easy.
Anyways, lunch is over...

Well... The wedding planning has begun. Thanks to my aunt and her wonderful family, I'll be having a white wedding just like I always dreamed, but knew I could never have. I actually bought my dress yesterday while my mom was in town, and we got a fantastic deal on it because it was off the rack, no pre-order. The dress fit great, and is just absolutely beautiful. The colors are going to be lilac, and ivory. We even set a date for May 6th. Our guestlist is going to be a little limited, so hopefully I can get my important peeps in. And shoot there will always be pictures. So things are about to get pretty hectic, and money tight. Due to buying my dress yesterday I am back to square one with saving up for school, but it can be done.
I will write more later... Shoot I might even feel like posting a pic of the dress for friends only. We shall see though. Well I have so much more but I have to cook dinner... So until later... Hope everyone had a good weekend. I sure did :-D
