Slap Me With The Slacker Stick

It is so sad how much I have been slacking with my entries here lately.  I honestly have quite a bit to write about, but at the same time, if I try and write about everything, I will have a short novel going on.  LOL  The funny thing is that I actually log in to OD everyday and read my faves.  I just don’t take the time to write an actual entry.  Shame shame on me.  =(

Well… it was officially one year yesterday that Jacob and I have been together now.  I can’t believe that it’s already been ONE whole year.  WOW!!!  It went by so friggin’ fast!!!  That’s why I know that this next year is going to fly by just as fast too.  Especially with all the planning that is going to be involved for next summer. 

We have less than a month to go now, and we will be on our way to Nebraska!!!  WOO HOO!!!  I’m super excited to go home and visit everyone.  =)  I hope that it is a lot of fun times like I anticipate.  We are going to be so busy when we are back too.  So many people to see and places to go, and so very little time.  But I’m sure we will get everything worked out accordingly, and the people that matter the most will be seen as well.

Jacob’s brother Zane is actually going to be out here this weekend from Oklahoma.  He will be here from June 3rd until June 10th.  Only thing is, is that he is going to only be up north in Anderson and not come down to San Jose.  So if we want to see him, we have to go all the way up there.  The truck has been acting a bit shady lately, and even if we wanted to take it, it would end up costing us $100 in gas alone just to get up there an back. 

So instead Jacob’s mom asked us to take the bus to Sacramento on Friday, and she would pick us up along with Zane afterwards.  BUT instead of taking us back to Sacramento on Sunday to catch the bus to San Jose, she wants us to take the bus from Redding instead so that she doesn’t have to go all the way back to Sacramento which would be about 2 hours there and 2 hours back.  This would end up costing us more money in the end, not to mention that in order to make it back to San Jose by a decent time on Sunday, we would have to leave at like 10 in the morning to make it home by 6.  If we don’t take that bus, then the next bus doesn’t get in to San Jose until 7:30 on Monday morning…  and I have to work!!!

THEN Jacob’s mom told him to ask Ray (his step-dad) if he would be able to take us to Sacramento to catch our bus.  He said sure… BUT we would have to give him gas money to get there and back.  WELL GUESS WHAT!!!  FUCK THAT!!!!  After all the shit that we did for his mom and Ray and putting up with their drama and bullshit for over 2 months, if they can’t figure out a way to help us out, then I’m not going to bust my ass to take time off of work and go up there anyway.

Jacob said that they obviously don’t want to see us all that much, if they aren’t willing to help out at all.  I told him that I’m not paying for anything more than the price of our bus tickets to SACRAMENTO and the cost of our food and anything that we personally might need.  He said that’s fine.. but I do feel bad for Jacob.  He doesn’t even really want to go up there to see his family.  He really just wants to go up there so that he can see his cat… Jack.  He’s getting to be older now, and his mom said that he is slowing down quite a bit.  I just know that if Jack would pass on before Jacob gets to see him again, that he’ll blame me for not putting up with his mom’s bullshit and going up there.  I keep telling him that he can go by himself, but he won’t go without me.

He’s still so insecure that I would leave him or something if he wasn’t around.  Which is bullshit, but it’s a lot to do with childhood drama.  He tries to work on it, but I know it’s hard for him.  Anywho… don’t really want to get into that.

So I guess we’ll see by tomorrow if we are going or not.  We have two weekends to get up there to see his brother before he leaves.  So if we don’t go this weekend, maybe we can go next weekend.  He has family that is going up there next weekend, but he doesn’t much want to see any of them, therefore he doesn’t want to see about catching a ride up there with them instead.  Good grief!!!  Why does everything always have to be so difficult with this family???  And this is what I’m marrying into???  LOL

On to other news in my life…

June 14th, at 7:00pm I have an appointment at David’s Bridal to try on THE dress.  Just to refresh your memories, here’s a pic…

Probably won’t take pictures of me in it though.  Mainly because I’m going by myself.  I know… how sad?  But all of my family and friends are in Nebraska, therefore I have to do this alone.  It will still be an exciting day for me.  Maybe I’ll see if the bridal store people can take my pictures though.  =)  So I’ll be updating more about that once the time comes.  I’ll probably be able to get more ideas about bridesmaid dresses too.  How exciting!!!

Oh yeah!!!  I forgot to let you guys know that I picked out my engagement ring finally.  We are making payments on it but should have it by the end of the month.  Hopefully before the trip to Nebraska.  It’s so pretty.  I love it!!!  I’m not one for a HUGE rock on my finger, so the ring that I chose is just right for me.  It’s white gold with 3 emerald cut diamonds across the top.  I’ll definitely take a picture of it once I get it.  =)

With that being said… I really better get back to work.  I was late coming in today, and now here I’ve spent a good portion of the afternoon trying to figure out the whole bus situation and then writing this well needed entry.  Hope all is going well with everyone out there in OD land!!!  LEAVE NOTES!!!!

Laters,
