Wanda's Journal

We went to the Daughtry concert last night at the Clearfield County Fair. It was great! I had so much fun even just walking through the fair and had a blast at the concert. I think next year we'll take Austin, hopefully there isn't a concert we want to see... even so we can still take him and bring someone along for help when the concert is going on... My mom got these digital camera binoculors for my birthday and we used those and it was like I was right in the front row... you could see everything perfectly clear. THe pictures were kind of blurry but I don't have that steady of a hand to work something like that... The pictures turned out okay though, I think they would have been better if it wasn't so dark but for it being night and dark they did pretty well. I think I had more fun at this concert than the one last year... I loved this birthday present!!!

So... what else is new in my life? I'm engaged!!! I'm sooo happy! I can't wait to get married! I am sooo aching to start planning this! Steve's like every guy though... they think it's going to cost too much and we don't have money for a wedding right now... Well.. since I'm a girl and I've been dreaming of my wedding day since I was like 10 lol... even though every girl's dream is to have a princess fairytale lavish wedding, there are ways to achieve that but without that lavish cost lol. All he needs to do is sit back and relax and let me work my bargain magic lol... I just wish he could believe that I can plan an inexpensive beautiful day! Hell.. I was in Walmart the other day to get a birthday gift for a woman at work and was in the clearance aisle and they had invitation kits there. They were the same ones that I was looking at online. The oriental trading website had these kits for 17.96 for 50 so figuring that you'd need at least 2 packs... not sure of how many people he'd invite, that would be with shipping around 50.00. Other websites compare at over 100.00 for just 100 invitations and envelopes... atleast the kits have everything you need. Well anyways getting to the exciting part... I got 2 sets of the exact same invitations that I was looking at (100 count) for a whopping $15.00!!!! So even paying for the ink to print them I'm still under $50.00! And that ink can be used for anything else that we need to do like.. programs!

I know it's a little soon to be thinking of this considering that he wants to get married in like 5 years or something... (the whole "it costs $10,000 for a wedding" idea)... It's never too soon to start picking up stuff that you can save hundreds of dollars on ... right?

Guys are just weird and I really don't think they understand a woman's mind and their way of thinking and how they can handle things a way that no guy can...

Believe me, I don't need some big lavish $50,000 wedding to make me happy! If guests aren't happy just to come see us get married then I'm sorry. But sometimes you have to work with what you have and I'm sure even saving 50-100$ a month or even whatever extra there is, things will work out fine!

So.. I know our wedding is projected in his mind in about 2015 I'm really hoping for something a little closer to the year we're currently in ... you know like 2009! That's normally how long people are engaged for is about a year on average.

Anyways ... we'll see.
