Yes to the Dress

I never thought i would be like some of those crazy girls on "Yes to the Dress".
But lets just say i was.

Before i was a bride i would think "ahh you can never cry over a dress or just KNOW its the one".
I was totally wrong about it ALL.
I said yes to the dress and I cried like a big baby when i knew it was the one!

Well two weeks ago, my mom, mother in law, sister and myself went into salt lake to just look and see if we could get some wedding stuff done. We stopped at Michael and i found tons of stuff. We got all my center pieces, got flower girls basket ties for the groomsmen, flowers for my girls and the boys, cute little shirts for the ring boys, my cake topper, knife set and my wine glasses. We got really lucky with everything we found. Its kinda been hard finding stuff in my colors, but i think everything will look amazing.

So after we got all the shopping done we thought why don't we go and look for some dresses. Just to look, i knew i wouldn't be able to try anything on cause i did have an appointment. So we go there and started looking around, I found some really cute ones that i wanted to try on. I knew what kind of style i was wanting. But i was open to anything. It was about an hour of looking at dresses and someone called my name and they were able to get me in to try on dresses. YAY. So i grabbed three dresses cause i knew i was going to have to be fast about the whole trying on thing. The first one was pretty i really liked it, then i tried on the second one and fell in love with it, and the third one i liked but i was still more in love with the second one. I knew that second one was MINE. It fit me just right and i looked good in it. ;-)

My aunt really wanted to come and be there for the moment when i got my dress. I thought i would come back and buy the second dress cause the more i looked at it the more i was in love with it. So we made an appointment for the next Saturday so my aunts could make it.

Talk about longest week everrrr!!!!

Finally Saturday came around and we headed in.

Found about 5 more dresses that i wanted to try on. I told Lisa (the awesome lady that helped me) that i wanted to try on the one from last week at the very end. I wanted to see if any other dress made me feel as good as the one did.

So i tried on a few and lets just say i LOVE trying on dresses.
My little sister pick out one for me, so i tired it on. As soon as my mom tighten it up in the back, and before i even looked at myself. I felt amazing.

I walked out the dressing room and my aunts just started crying. I looked at myself and i just got this feeling like i cant explain. I felt pretty and i could see me wearing this dress on the day i become Chelby Garcia.

Still in the back of my head i wanted to try on the one from the other day. So i slipped into it and looked at myself, i was lost. I didn't know what one i liked more. I walked around in it a little bit, i looked at it a little more, and i asked everyone what they thought. Something inside of me was saying that i need to put the other one on again.

So back in to change once again i went. As soon as i stepped in this dress i got the feeling again. I started walking and it felt light, it just felt amazing. I looked at myself and started crying. I knew it was the dress i would be walking down to. I knew this was the dress i would become a Garcia. Lisa looked at me and said i think this is the one. I looked around and everyone was crying.

THIS IS THE ONE i said.
and the tears started rolling again..

I'm saying YES to the Dress.

Lisa came back over and handed me a bell. When you find your wedding dress we have you make a wish and ring the bell as hand as you can. The harder you ring the bell the more your wish will come true. Yes i rang that bell like it was going to break. That day couldnt of went any better,

It was pretty awesome to have such amazing people there to share this time with me. We were even able to skype with my sister Torie so she could be involved. I cant believe i found my dress. It makes everything so much more REAL. 6 more months. :)

Sunday (Monday) Social

Today I am linking up with Ashley over at Oh Me for Sunday Social!

1. What is your ideal way to relax?

Laying on the couch all day watching TV in my PJ's with no bra on. Yes I'm addicted to TV, and yes i do go all day without my bra. :)

 

2. Where is your favorite place to be?

As funny and cheese as it sounds but in Logan arms. I don't get to do this much. So when he hold me i love every minute of it! I just feeling so safe in his arms.

 

3. Who do you consider your biggest role model?

I have many role models. But i would have to say that my parents and Connor are the top. I look up to these amazing people more then anything in the world. My parents have been thought the worst thing in life but yet they are still in as much love as they were 35 years ago! I look up to my dad cause of the fight that he had to deal with. He fought for his life cause he knew his life wasn't done here on earth. Connor is my role model cause he is teaching me each and everyday that i have a reason to be living, and that i have someone who is going to love me though it all! You guys are my life and i cant thank you enough!!

 

4. What does your life look like in 3 years?

 Married, and have an other baby in the household! :)

5. If you could go back and change one decision, what would it be?

I am so content with the decisions that I have made in my life. I can honestly say that even though I have been unhappy at times with the decisions that I have made, that my life is awesome right now and things might not be the same had I made a different decision.

6. What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far?

I would have to say raising Connor to be a happy 5 year old boy and to own a house with my hot hunk!

 



The 4th Year

4 Years ago i was just coming home for a week long vacation in Mexico. Hating that i was coming back to the nasty cold.

But as soon as i got home i was asked out on a date. Little did i know my life would change.

January 21st 2009 is when i found my true love.

I cant believe after 4 years we are still going strong.

We bought a house together and we are engaged to be married.

The last 4 years have been such a blessing.

We have had our many ups and our many downs, but at the end of the day i know this is the man i want to spend the rest of my life with. He is the man i want to have kids with, the man i want to kiss each and every night, and the man i want to grow old with. He is everything i have ever dreamed of.

(First date)

 (1 year anniversary)

 (2 year Anniversary)

(3 year anniversary)

(4th year anniversary)

Babe i cant wait to start this new chapter in our life.

August 3rd is going to be the most amazing day of my life.

I love you so much Logan and i dont think you will even understand how much you mean to Connor and I.

Thanks for always being there for us and making sure we are happy.

Whats been up

First of all. Is anyone else having a hard time uploading pictures???? I have been trying for a week now to load some pictures and it wont let me. BOOOO



My best friend is in TOWN.. Lets just say these last two weeks have been amazing. Its just like old times. 2 years without  my best friend is like killing me.Im in love with her two little girls, and Connor loves them also. Its making me more baby hungry then i think i need to be. I dont ever want my Jennie to leave but now that she is on main land im sure i will see her morre!!!

I went to Wendover last weekend with my three best friends. Jennie, Jaquie and Sara. Lets just say it will be a weekend that ill never forget. Just having girl time is just what i have been needing.

We are finally starting wedding planning!!!! YAHOOO Tomorrow im going to look for a dress, Say what, YES im going to look for a dress. I cant wait. We are also going to look for the cake topper, and little things like that. 7 months away isnt very long at all. Im dying to get everything ready. I just know its going to get a little crazy. I cant believe im getting married!!!!!!

Logan started college last Monday! Back to school for 4 years.! Im so proud of him. I know that this will make it better for our family! We are so lucky to have him to support us!!

Connor is ready for the snow to be gone. Cause when the snow is gone he can finally play baseball. No joke now that he is 5 he thinks he can do anything. I cant wait to see my little man playing baseball just like his mom and dad! I want to teach him everything my dad taught me. Im pretty excited also!!!


I hope damn blogger will let me upload pictures soon cause i hate these post without pictures!!!!

Fighting

I haven't been to a doctors for a very long time and when i say very it mean FOREVER. I think 6 plus years. I'm not meaning Ob Doctor cause that was 2 years ago. I mean the other one. haha
So you get what I'm throwing down. Its been a really long time..

Over the past year i just haven't felt myself. My stomach hurt all the time, i had headache everyday and they would never go away, I started getting heart burn and i was just down in the dumps..
I have been having a really hard time with my dad. Yes i know that he is okay and healthy but what we went thought was life changing and i just haven't been able to wrap my head around that. Its been a year and i still can remember what i was feeling at that time.
When i was up at the hospital with my dad everyday for three months. I never once let him see me cry... reason why is cause i needed to be strong for my dad, he needed me the most and i wasn't about to let him know i was having a hard time with it. When he was at his lowest point i was his back bone letting him know things were going to be okay. I was the one cheering him on as he took his first steps. I need to be strong for him.
So i have never really let me feelings go, i haven't been able to coup with it, or grieve.
I have noticed that my emotions have been through the sky. I'm happy one minute and crying the next. I feel so bad for Logan cause he is getting the bad end of the stick. This is why i love him so much. Even at my worst and when I'm treating him like dirt he is still there loving me like no other!

Anyway, I went to the doctor thinking i was depressed..

Sure enough i am depressed. Its hard to really know that's what has been wrong with me. I know i have been thinking i have been, but to know that i am, is kinda a slap in the face.

I also have stuff wrong with my stomach, get BAD headache and cant sleep at night.
So that just means i have to be on 4 different medication to help that out and my depression.
I hate knowing that i have to be on meds to make me feel like ME again. He thinks i should be on it for a year and after a year he will see where i am and judge it off that.

He also asked me about work. I have been very stressed out over work and he say alot of my stress and depression is caused by that. GREAT..

So lets hope this helps, so i can start feeling like me again. I have been in this VERY dark place and I'm ready to be out of it..

New Year's Hope

I know that each yeah i try to write one of these. And each year i don't always go though with them..

So I'm not making any resolutions....Ill just write things down that i would LIKE to do. No promises just hope. :)


- I hope i can lose weight before the BIG day. 7 months to lose 25 pounds isn't very long. I need to get my big ol bum in gear1 Like Yesterday. Who is going to help me make this goal?????

-Spend more time with Logan and I. With the wedding coming up i think this is when we need to be more US. I want that one on one time.

-Making this wedding planning amazing! I hear it can and will be NUTS at times but this year is the time i want to remember as the best year of my life!!

-Don't sweat the small stuff. I have trouble with this. I'm always worrying about everything. So No more sweating the small stuff.

-Work on my depression... I went to the doctor yesterday thinking i was depressed. Well come to find out... I am. I also found out a few other things that are wrong with me, but it will get better in time. So i have to work on my health. This is the number 1 thing i have to work on. I have been in my darkest place and I'm ready to get out of it. Saying that was step 1..

-Enjoy work more. Work has been so stressful. I'm hoping this year will be less stressful and we can move on from the past.

- More time with Connor. The last year i feel like i haven't been the best mom to Connor. I need to make time to go up stairs and play with him and his toys. I need to get dressed up in his hulk and run around like there isn't a care in the world.

-Money. With just getting a house, and a wedding coming up, we need to work on the money.

-Make time for ME...I need to get out of the house more, hang out with friends, do things for myself, and just get back to the old me.

-Get my house to a HOME. I cant wait to get everything up and looking like our house. I have so many ideas and I'm dying to do them.

- Smile more

-Get pregnant...AFTER the wedding of Course


I'm ready to make 2013 MY YEAR. I cant wait to see what it holds for us. :-)
