Jennifer & Greg

We're Expecting!

2008-02-01T15:22:00.001-08:00

That's right!!

Greg and I are going to be parents!

Scary thought, huh?

lol

I haven't been feeling well the past while and have been super tired. Aunt "Flow" didn't come to visit on Tuesday morning (she always shows up on time) and I felt horriable all day. I told Greg Tuesday evening that I was late and we decided just to wait. Wednesday I felt like crap! Work was almost impossiable to get through. I had to leave early because I was so sick. I called Greg on the way and told him I was going to get him and we were going to the pharmacy becasue I wanted to test in the morning.

So off we went. OMG! The decisions... which one to choose! There were so many and we were kinda clueless! So we grabed a namebrand and headed out. ...got the one with 2 tests just in case. lol

We went to bed. I told Greg to wake me when he got up for work in the morning so I could do the test while he was home. I tossed and I turned and I just couldn't sleep. I had to know and I had to know now! So I jumped outta bed and off to the bathroom I went. I did the test and waited the two minutes. I couldn't bear to watch so I went and sat on the bed ... Greg sleeping all the while. I went back in after the two minutes and OMG! It's positive! We're pregnant! I ran out of the bathroom and jumped on the bed!

GREGGGGG!!! WAAAKKKEEEEE UPPPP!!! I shook the poor guy awake and said come here! He was all worried that something was wrong. I draged him into the bathroom and showed him. He looks at it and says "So what does that mean" lmao

I answered him, "Last time I checked a plus means positive". He just got this dopey look on his face, looked from me to my belly and back to me.

"I'm gonna be a Dad?!?" Needless to say he was overjoyed! He grabed me and huged me and wouldn't let go. When he finally did we got back into bed and just talked about everything.

I'm thinking we are due October 6, 2008 if my math is corect. That would put us at the 5 week point (I believe). I have to make an appointment for an ultrasound next week to see exactally how far I am along. We are both super excited and anxious to find out!

...5 week fetus...

What a Weekend!!!

2008-01-14T09:14:00.000-08:00

As you all know, last Thursday was my 25th birthday. YAY ME! ...another year older! lol

So, this past Saturday night was my birhday bash! I decided to celebrate it with my pal Shaun since his birthday is tommorow. So, this was a DOULE BASH! WHOOHOOOOOO! It was HUGE!!!!

We decided to go to On the Rocks Restaurant and Lounge in Whitby. It gave us a fun club scene without the treck into downtown Toronto. And since most of the guests live in Durham region, it just made sense!

Anyway...

We started the night off with some preclub fun at Shaun and Jenn's place (which is across the street, litterally, from our place). Obviously we did the whole predrink thing. Let me tell you, the Goose was flowing!! ...along with others! We all got our buzz on! lol We played Rock Band which is like my new favourite game! Greg doesn't like it so much... probably cuz he sucks! haha

We headed to OTR for 11 and you should have seen the lineup to get into this place! DAMN! It ut some of the downtown TO clubs to shame!!! I was shocked to say the least! Thank god we were on the guest list! We byassed that disgusting line!! What-What?!!!?!! Get upstairs, escorted to our booths, get our bottles and the party was on!!! The music was off the hook!!! We were on the dancefloor all night! The only time we came off was to replenish our empty glasses. It was soooooo much fun! And the lace was just ramed!!! Everyone had a blast! Every, except the DD`s got smashed!! hahaha ... I was licked outta m;y head! GOOD TIMES!!!!!

We left the club around 2am which was a little early but we didn`t have m;uch choice. Why you ask.... Well, I don`t want to mention any names to save shame and embarassment, but let`s just say someone passed out in the washroom and someone almost got into a fight. And NO! before you ask, Greg and I were not part of this drama!!

So, we went back to the house where we stupidly drank some more and of course, we played more Rock Band which was so much more fun when we were hammered!!! haha You gotta love how fun games are when you are smashed! Its like a whole new level!! Everyone passed out around 5am, so thats when Greg and I made our way home ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE STREET!

Oh what a fun night it was!!! but the next morning was not so fun! haha

Thanks to all of you who came out and made my birthday and Shauns a BLAST!!!!!

Happy Birthday Hunter!

Well, the night of our Bachelor/Bachelorette parties is here!

WoOOooOoOoooOoHOoooOOoOoooOOo

We are both looking forward to partying and have a BLAST with all of our friends! Neither of us really know what is in store for us, but whatever it is, it's going to be fun!!

Here's looking forward to an awesome night and a "gentle" hangover in the morning...?? Is that even possible? lol

Whirlwind Weekend and Week Thus Far!

2007-12-13T03:13:00.000-08:00

Well, we had a whirlwind of a weekend, but much got accomplished!

We had to make a trip down to Cobourg to finalize all the remaining details for the wedding. This included following up with all our services, meeting with my Aunt who is in charge of the decorating, - Thank You So Much Auntie Debbie! - confirm the head count, go over list after list of details, etc. We also had to have our pre wedding "counseling" with the Reverend. Luckily it went very well with little pain - lol - and didn't take too long. I think Greg and I sat with him for about an hour.

So far this week I have been getting the "little" things together and ready to go. I have been finishing up our give away gifts and place cards. I messed up on the printing for some of them. Thank God for Melissa being able to make some new ones up last minute! I tell you, I don't know where I would be without her! -*sighs*- I have also been TRYING to go over all the music selections and come to some sort of an agreement with Greg... No, hip hop and rap are not appropriate first dance songs. - SHEESH! -

I am sitting here thinking of all the little things that still have to be done and all the crap we are going to have to pack into the truck to take out to Cobourg with us and I am not liking it. MAN! Is that going to be a fun time trying to pack the truck with all our "stuff". Not to mention all the people we have to play TAXI to.

Oh well, I guess it's all worth it in the end and you only do it once, right?!?

THE HUSBAND STORE

2007-12-10T07:27:00.000-08:00

I got this in an email this morning and thought it was kinda cute and would be fun to share:

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item fro m a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.'
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!'
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

**PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.....

14 Days To Go...

2007-12-07T10:08:00.000-08:00

That's right! There are 14 days left until THE BIG DAY!

I don't know where the time has gone. This wedding has snuck up on us really really quickly! It seems like just yesterday that we set the date.

Every is asking me if I'm nervous or have cold feet? The answer would be NO! I'm super excited!! I can't wait for the wedding day to arrive!!! It's only two weeks away and I wish it were tomorrow! LOL Well, maybe not tomorrow because I still have a few things to attend to and take care of.

For the most part everything is taken care of and under control. I won't lie, there still are a few things that need to be done and are beginning to stress me out, but it will all get done on time I'm sure.

My family and friends have been absolutly amazing at helping to get things done and pull this all off in such a short period of time. My Grandma has been my right hand and just done more for me than words can ever explain. She's helped me to keep my sanity through all of this! Melissa has been amazing and gone above and beyond the call of "duty". She is the best friend one could ever ask for. (((((_You're Awesome Girl & I Love You!_)))))

Wedding duties call.......
