summer blues

It has been over a month since i have posted and honestly i dont feel like i have much to say now. Life has just kind of been blah lately...good just boring. nothing much has been going on. its freakin hot outside and i want nothing more than to have a pool or a boat to go to the lake! i am a summer girl...that likes to be outside knee deep in some water somewhere!..not stuck in the house. and lately it seems that i have nothing to do! ive gone to the ripley water park a couple time with my sister and her kids but thats the extent of sun and water that ive got! ):
in less than a month i will be starting school! i am beyond excited about this. its sooo expensive tho, i mean we expected the tuition and fees but its all the stuff that goes a long with it that they dont tell you about. ugh its gonna break us but hopefully it will pay off in 2 years!
married life is still wonderful as always! its so fun to always have someone by your side. if im bored...atleast im not bored by myself. we always have each other and i love that. im so thankful for my husband for supporting me to go back to school and taking care of everything financially. i am a very lucky girl.

You would think that it being summer and me not having a job I wouldnt have much to do these days. Is it me or does life never slow down? Adam seems to always be at work...like a normal person :) and if he isnt there then he is at home mowing the yard, working on a new project around the house, or playing softball. This weekend his project was/is moving the washer and dryer to another wall to give us more space in our laundry room...lets just say the washer and dryer are both now in the kitchen and one wall in the laundry room no longer exsist. Im crossing my fingers it will be done in the next couple days! While Adam is staying busy I am also. During the week, it seems like i always have something i have to do. Whether it is watching my niece and nephew, running errans, going to the gym, or doing stuff to get ready for school. school...oh how i missed you! i know...come August I will be regreting that I am saying that now. But, I have been out of the classroom since May 2010...over a year. i did an internship between then and now and that is it. No job or school for me. This girl is ready for a little more structure! although i get overwhelmed, stressed, and crazy when i am in school, i love every minute of it. I have a schedule and something that i HAVE to do and i feel like i am doing good...since im learning :) I have alot of repect for stay at home moms but that lifestyle just isnt for me. Adam has told me countless times that i do not have to go back to school or work if i do not want to. well, i am going back to school and i will have a career. im just one of those people that need that structure in my life. plus i feel like my brain is turning into a rock since im not using it! i think i will truely be in a happy place with my life when i have a career and know i have succeeded in the goal i have set for myself. Now, after i graduate and we decided to have little baby shelleys i will probably work part time but i will still have that structure. that is the great thing about dental hygiene :) i cant wait!

well tomorrow is fathers day and my husband has to work 4am to 1pm, sometimes i really hate his job. i am going to church them out for lunch with my dad and we will do dinner with his dad once he gets home and gets a nap! but atleast we will be able to spend time with both our dads and im sure have a great day.

Laxton/Nolan wedding

This past weekend Adam was in his friend Michael's wedding. It was so great being on the other side of the wedding! It was beautiful and we had a lot of fun. Michael was in our wedding and they stuck around at our reception until we left and i really appreciated it. So i told Adam no matter what i wanted to do that for them and im so glad we did because we had a great time. The wedding was at Covington Church of Christ and the reception was at the Kelly's by the gin. It was EXTREMELY hot but it didn't matter! the decor, flowers, food, everything was great. Meghan (the bride) did her bouquet toss off the balcony of the house and i just thought that was so pretty i bet they got some really good pics of it. When they made their exit we did sparkler and they had fire works. it was really neat. Michael has been a good friend of Adams for a while and he is someone who will always help us out when we need him. Im glad Adam has such good friends. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Michael Nolan! Everything was wonderful!

I can breathe a little!

This weekend was so relaxing! I loved every minute of planning our wedding, and loved every minute of the wedding and all the festivities that went with it but boy am I happy to just relax without it on my mind! Being married is awesome. I love it. It's so crazy what we go through just to get married though. I look back and just laugh at some of the arguements we had..over the stupidest stuff. I say if your relationship can stand strong after planning for a wedding then your good for married life. Our married life is so different...no wedding stress. We are busy planning our future now and that really excites us!
 I am about nose deep in thank you notes, but im putting a dent in them. I will be very happy to get them done. I have worked on the house here and there since we have been home from the honeymoon. It actually is starting to look normal again. I still have a whole guest room full of wedding stuff...I thought once we got married all of it would disappear..I think I have more now than I had to begin with.  I will eventually have myself back organized. My goal is to have everything back in order by August when I start school. yeah I know that gives me a whole lot of time...I have no excuse not to be done by then. I definitely do not want to be worrying about anything come August. Just starting school and focusing on making good grades. I am so happy I have a husband who has a good job and works hard everyday. Im so happy he doesnt want me working unless it is something i really enjoy and Im so happy he supports me going back to school. He is the reason i graduated Martin with honors..no he didnt study for me or take my tests but he came into my life and helped me to focus on the things that mattered in life. and i am so blessed that he did. There is no telling where i would be today if it werent for him. I love you HUBS!

Okay, in the mist of wedding maddness i got some news. first of all the day before the wedding we were up at the Chamber Center decorating and running errans for the wedding all day. we ended up staying there an hour and a half later than i had planned so adam and i were extremely rushed to get home and get ready for the rehearsal and get up to the church. we live in drummonds so its a good 20 minute drive there and 20 minute drive back. as we got to our driveway i asked adam to check the mail...not thinking much of it. there was an envelope from UT Health Science Center. My heart was pounding. I have applied to the Dental Hygiene program for the last 4 years. Obviously i hadnt got accepted, but this year i was in the mind set that if i didnt get in then it would be ok bc i was starting a new chapter in my life and things would work out. ok so i got the letter...adam begged me not to open it, bc if i got denied he didnt want me to be upset all night and wedding day too. i promised him that if i didnt get in i would be okay so i opened it. I GOT IN! i was extremely happy i started bawling and had to call my momma. it was like this fairy dust sprinkled over me and said here princess everything youve ever wanted is here! :) needless to say i didnt get a shower and i threw on a dress and we were a little late for the rehearsal. i could not have asked for a better weekend! 2 years of school and i will be a dental hygienst, get a good job, im married to my best friend and love of my life, and we will eventually start a family after school. seriously i am blessed. the Lord knows what he is doing, and idk maybe he didnt think i could handle school until now maybe he knew i needed to settle down and get married before starting that chapter. either way the Lord is always right and this could not have been more perfect. i cannot wait to start school and have a career and a little Shelley Family. Life is good!...no...Life is WONDERFUL!
