Exceedinly and Abundantly... BLESSED!!!

So I suppose I am a slacker blogger!!! But life is wonderfully busy these days!! And yes... I LOVE every minute of it!!!

SO looks like I left off my photo journey in July. SO lets resume :)

I love July! HEAT, cookouts, and FIREWORKS!! Boy do I love me some fireworks and cookouts! We were blessed with the invitation to spend it with a cookout with a family at church. I was excited to spend it with them and James and bless his heart, he got the sickest I can remember him being. I felt so bad for him :(

SO on in to July! I realized that nursing is a profession that you go in looking like Halle Berry and come out looking like Whoopie Goldberg lol!!!

Fancy masks :)

I also learned that being a nurse can be stunning yet dangerous lol

I was giving meds to a detoxing patient and he decided that I was a snack :) FRIEND NOT FOOD!!! lol sigh... we laugh about this now :)

So my nut allergies have decided that they want to expand their spectrum. Eating at Applebees I decide to have a pecan blondie.... AND what happens:

Hello HIVES!!!

Soooo July was full of fun least to say :) ON to August!!!

Day before my Birthday :) Im at work drawing up some medication and a florist comes down the hallway. He starts asking for the nurses station. Im aggravated with him and ask them who he was looking for. He then responds, "Crystal Coffey." I start hysterically laughing and say thats me!!! My sweet fiance sent me flowers!!!

Then the day... the day my mother birthed me ;) Bless my sweet fiances heart... sick an miserable insisted on taking me to dinner :) SO off to Olive Garden we go! MMMMMmmmm!!! And then once back to the barn to drop him off and present time :) He bought me a little cupcake and then lit a candle in my car! Yes... it made me nervous cause me and fire are NOT friends lol :) I am a lucky girl to have such a considerate man who has WONDERFUL taste in jewelry!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!! I taught a Sunday school lesson about the price of the great pearl and then I said something to the fact that I didn't own a pearl anymore and he took note of that and viola!!! Sorry ladies, hes all mine!!

SEPTEMBER :) 

I got to make a fun diaper cake!!!

Probably the funnest one to date... and I made a little $$ off it too :) 

THEN... finally got my mother to JC to get my wedding dress!!! I was sooooo excited to have my to be mother and sister in law there too! My bestie Cindy and my roomie Sarah were also able to come!!! It made me sooooo happy to have them!!

My sweet mother in law to be brought me flowers... I love this combo... this COULD be and idea for a wedding bouquet!!! 

I was so excited because in my mind, my dress was already picked out and my mother picked out the same dress I wanted!!! It was so fun having my favorite women in my life there to help me decide and share this moment!!!

Ha ha thought you were gonna get a peek huh??? NO WAY JOSE!!! Only a few people will see the dress before the wedding! Especially a certain man whose ring Im wearing!!! Reality is setting in... I am getting married!!! Im not crazy about all the details... as long as I get to wear this amazing dress, and the man who is my soul mate is at the end of the isle in a brown tux waiting to exchange vows with me and God... I dont care what else happens!! I am so excited to start this next chapter in my life!!! I never knew I could love someone like I love James... I am blessed!!!

SO up to this point 2012 has been a blast!!! I am finally at a place in my life where I am taking things in a living life to the fullest! Not sweating the small stuff... just enjoying every moment!!
