Clock is winding down
Hard to believe that after a year of planning, it comes down to this magical weekend. My dad, brother, Wayne's girlfriend, and their baby girl are coming in Friday night. My best friends from Wilmington are also coming in Friday night. Saturday is the rehearsal and then wrestling. Sunday is the wedding. I am so excited I can not contain it sometimes. I know tomorrow at work I am not going to be easy to work with because I am going to be so bubbly. But I don't want to hide my excitement. It's not like I havent' been broadcasting it to all my co-workers for a month now. It's just amazing to me. We have been together nearly 6 wonderful years. And now in two days, I will be his Mrs. Current Mood:  excited | | Thursday, February 5th, 2009 | | 11:11 am |
Wedding stuff
Wow it's been a long road to get here. Brad and I are getting married on March 8th, 2009 at 4pm in Liberty, NC. I think all the planning has been going very well. I had one week of crazy but I am fine now. That was a crazy week for me. We are having printer problems so we haven't printed our invitations yet. One of my bridesmaids, Kelly, is pregnant. So I had to get her dress sent back since it wouldn't fit her anymore. I was told I would get it back in without a problem weeks before the wedding. Which I need since she lives four hours away from me. Then another bridesmaids dress wouldn't fit so had to go back and exchange it again. Only to find out that Kelly's dress wouldn't come in until two days before the wedding. So yeah, I freaked a little. But we got the situation resolved and Kelly's dress should be here on time. I can't wait for the wedding! There is still much to do but thankfully not TOO much to do. I will not go down the list but for the most part, it's done. And I completed my wedding website! www.mywedding.com/bradloveskristina I am so excited! Current Mood: busy | | Monday, December 17th, 2007 | | 9:07 pm |

Thanksgiving leads to Christmas...
I can't believe tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I work electronics at Target. I also work for the toys department. I know people are preparing for Christmas. But Thanksgiving is slipping from my mind for some reason. Strange to me. I am incredibly excited about Christmas. I've already finished my shopping for Brad and Dad. Just a couple of things left to get others. Everything else is going alright. Love my job. Getting a different car soon, once Dad gets everything fixed. So yeah, that's my update | | Saturday, October 6th, 2007 | | 11:14 am |

Sweet deal!!!!
I have been wanting to say this since August. I haven't really liked my job at RGIS much. It's okay but I waste so much in gas and see very little in return. Well...Today, I have been offered a sweet deal at Target. Basically what I did at Best Buy for more money, full time, benefits, and a set schedule. It's in Burlington so drive time will be cut down a lot. I am so excited!!!!!! Gave RGIS notice that I will finish out my schedule then I will be FULL TIME at Target. I've been trying to get full time at Best Buy for two years! For those who haven't seen them yet, pictures of the most adorable niece in the world is on my and Brad's myspace. Go comment!!! And ROCK ON for Jes winning Rock of Love! Current Mood:  bouncy | | Wednesday, September 26th, 2007 | | 2:00 am |
A welcome back
Wow I haven't been on Live Journal in forever. Finally got back on Road Runner and just really catching up on everything I missed while on dial up. Brad and I have everything set up downstairs now. Very nice but hot. No A/C except our little fans. Got a nice little set up though. Both couches, three tvs. Only one connected to cable of course though but I think that is changing soon. Started working for RGIS, an inventory company, in August. The job is okay except for traveling a lot. Lots of money in gas. I have the cutest, sweetest baby niece, Elizabeth. Anyone want to see pictures can go to my Myspace page. www.myspace.com/refbabe/ I feel horrible for not having been there while one of my friends went through a really rough time. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you, Kristen, don't hesitate. | | Thursday, July 12th, 2007 | | 11:26 pm |
Ugh
Normally I will write a LJ post then copy it to my Myspace. Not this time. I thought I was stressed out before...ugh okay. We aren't in the basement yet. And it's a little fusterating for us. It really feels like we'll never get down there and we'll never get at least a little bit of our privacy back. And we are not on our own computers or on high speed connection which is also fusterating. Brad's mom and I...Oh I know she means well but she gets on my ever lovin nerves. She has a repeating vocal track so we hear the same thing over and over which is annoying. I can't blame her at all. I put a lot more stress than is needed. I need to do better. I've been short tempered and irritating lately. And it's been getting on Brad's nerves. I need to calm down. Things just haven't been going right. I really hope our luck changes soon. Plus side, I graduate on Sunday. I don't offically be done with classes till September but since it's so close to the July walk, they are letting me walk with the rest of my classmates. I can't remember if I've said that yet or not. Dad, Carol, and Wayne are coming up from Charleston which makes me very happy. I haven't started working at Best Buy yet. Burlington is giving me friction now and I am beginning to think I should just hang it up. I am going to give Greensboro another shot but that's it. I can't drive to Durham so those two stores are out of the question. I hope to find something soon. Friday is my last paycheck. Later | | Tuesday, June 19th, 2007 | | 9:37 am |
Exhaustion setting in
These last two weeks of school is really taking its toll on me. I only see my finace' for a few hours every day. My schedule is just crazy! I am living with my best friend who I talk to maybe 30 minutes each day and I am living with her. I can't wait for this constant schedule to be over. And it will be as of Wednesday. Next Wednesday is my last day of class. I have to go to school Friday but it's just to test out of keyboarding. Class every day at 8:30, class at 6pm Monday and Wednesday. Work Tuesday and Thursday night. I feel mentally and phyiscally exhuasted. But it'll all be over soon. I have one class that the end of the quarter exam is three days long! But we know what's on the exam each day so we can study correctly. And I got a 100 on the first exam. So that's good at least. Blah I gotta get back to class. Later Current Mood:  exhausted | | Tuesday, June 5th, 2007 | | 12:57 pm |
23 days left...
In Wilmington. The end vast approaching. Maybe one day out of these next 23 I'll actually get to enjoy it. Still busy with school and work but now that the move is over I'll have a lot less stress on me. Brad and I are staying with our best friends in Wilmington so I can finish school. I don't have my computer here so I also don't have my links. If I haven't posted on a site lately, make sure you send me the link. Yeah, things aren't as bad as I thought they would be. Already got my transfer to the Burlington Best Buy lined up. Last day in Wilmington is June 28th. First day in Burlington is July 3rd. I don't waste any time, do I? Oh LORD I miss Egon. Hope he hasn't forgotten me while he's had his stay in Charleston. I just know he's gotten accustomed to being around other cats now. Hope that won't be a problem... It's been ages since I've turned my PS2 on. I feel so bad. I've been wanting to play but when I play, I want to be able to really play. Not just play for twenty minutes then go do something else. I am still going against Ghis on Final Fantasy 12. As I said, it's been a long time since I've played. Feel for me. Gosh now I don't even have my PC to play Knights of the Old Republic. Hadn't played it either in a while due to having to burn Brad a bunch of dvds. Eh, oh well. That just distracts me from my online class anyway. I am registered for my final quarter. Yay! And they are all online classes. Yay! Massage review, English II, Ethics, and Biology. Is Biology and Microbiology really that much different? Bah. That's enough out of me. Later.

It's 7:57am...
And I just wanted to say one thing. Moving Sucks! That is all. Current Mood: exhausted | | Wednesday, April 4th, 2007 | | 1:11 pm |
July just doesn't seem like it's too far away...
Wow I haven't posted in this since November. My bad. Some exciting news that I have been holding off for a bit to make sure we tell the right people first. Brad and I are moving to Greensboro in July. Our lease will be up at the end of May. I have classes that I have to be on campus for till the end of June. Then it's goodbye Wilmington. I will graduate in September but everything after June is online only. We are both really excited about the possiblities that lay before us. We came to Wilmington knowing it would only be for a year and our time is now up. We've made a lot of great memories and met a few really close friends that we will take with us no matter where we go. Don't think you guys are getting rid of us that easy! I have been thinking about our year in Wilmington a lot lately. Finding our apartment, knowing that there was only a keystroke difference in us getting or not getting our apartment. The first night at the unpacked apartment sitting on the floor eating McDonald's. Making the place a home for us. Little things coming together that just made it ours. Work has always seemed to have been a constant struggle. This Best Buy didn't even want me when I first talked about moving there. Shawn and Ryan both blew me off several times and I still think if it wasn't for Rusty I would have been hired once again as an o/s in October instead of coming in part time in the middle of June. Me losing my full time job, one that we've struggled to bounce back from financially. Brad getting his job. My car stereo stolen twice out of my car. Brad allowing me to have Egon. Subsequentially trying to train Egon not to bite. Still working on that one. Countless drives to Greensboro for wrestling, only to be back in Wilmington because I have work on Sunday mornings. The coming months are going to be exciting. I wonder what's going to happen after I finally graduate. I hope Brad and I can finally get real jobs so we can actually know what having money in the bank feels like. And I still want my trip to Disney World. Maybe September. Maybe not. I have loved being here. And I will miss everything and everyone. But this is the right move for my family. And this is the right thing to do. Very soon, I will be starting a new chapter in my life. Finally being able to set roots down and cultivate a life. I plan on making the most out of the time we have left here. Even though it is April, July just doesn't feel like it's a few months away. It feels like tomorrow. | | Friday, November 10th, 2006 | | 4:34 pm |

And I thought yesterday blew...
The gas station that my car was at towed my car this morning. Dad said he would come up to Wilmington to fix it when he got back to Japan. The problem was now getting it out of towing and into the parking lot of my apartment building. So that was a fuss and a hassle. Car should be towed in the morning.

This day blows
I hate November 7th. I really really can't express how much this day hurts me. Six years ago on this date my mother passed away unexpectantly at the age of 47. I spend most of November 7th now miserable, remembering far way too much. Today was just flat out horrible. I overslept to my first class. Thought I had to be at work at five when I was supposed to be there at four. Now I have been having trouble with my steering wheel lately. It's been increasingly harder to turn at times. On my way to work my dash lights went so dim that I could barely tell that they were on. There was a light that was blinking on my dash with a figure sitting in front of an air bag that would blink three times then pause, blink three times, repeat. My car also was moving slower. And when I turned the wheel, my cd player would garble. On my way home, I couldn't even listen to the radio anymore and as I was on the road heading to my apartment, it shut off near a gas station. My dad can fix it. But my dad is in Japan. I was planning on going to Charleston for Thanksgiving but I am not sure what to do now. Hopefully I will talk to Dad on Skype in a few hours and we can get something worked out. Current Mood: Miserable | | Sunday, October 8th, 2006 | | 10:15 pm |
Sunshine
Somedays, I just need time for myself. Sit on the couch for a few hours, watch some movies, and just be. Thankfully I got that time today. Watched Forrest Gump curled up on the couch while he played Road Rage in his room then he and I watched Notting Hill and ate Edy's Rocky Road ice cream, the best Rocky Road in the world. Now it's time for a little Will and Grace while playing mahjong and enjoying what is left of the evening. I never have to be reminded of how much Brad means to me. No one has to tell me how incredible our love is. I see it everytime I look at him. Things right now are not all rosey but I still wouldn't change a thing. Because we are together. I do love being with him, I love our relationship. I love waking up next to him every morning. And the few times he's not with me, I can't sleep. He's my sunshine. And I strive to be a better person because of him. He deserves far better than me, far more than I can give him. yeah, I feel better. Because I know what I have always known. | | Saturday, October 7th, 2006 | | 6:34 pm |
update
Kristen has brought it to my attention how little I update this thing. Hardly anyone reads it anyway. But here goes. Let's see, what has happened since last time I posted. I lost my full time job. Brad and I have been struggling with money since. We hope that he finds a job soon. But I am getting plenty of hours at Best Buy so that helps. I was planning on going back to school next week but that has since changed. See I owe the Charleston campus money before they will release my transcript. They will release it if I pay half, but I just don't have $300 to spare. I don't have $20 to spare, who am I kidding. And I might have to start all over again. I am told that even though it's the same school, credits don't transfer really well. My admin had worked out a deal that all of mine would so I could just pick up where I left off. But now that I won't be starting back next week, I think that deal is out the window. So that's two and a half years down the drain. Possibly. Guess I will find out Monday. So I have been down in the dumps lately. I finally felt like I was growing up. We weren't doing great financially but we were doing it. And now we aren't. I feel like I am sixteen again, wanting my dad to fix my problems. But I can't. Not how it works anymore. Things use to be so easy. I worked because I wanted to, not because I had to. School came easy, work came easy, guys came, and went, easily. All that seemed to change when Mom died. Dad said his luck ran out when she died. Truth is, I think Dad's, Wayne's and mine went with her. Sometimes it's hard to remember...and sometime's...I don't often think this but sometimes I wonder if God forgets about us. I work hard and it doesn't feel like I have anything to show for it. I keep hearing from people how talented I am but I don't see it. All I seem to be cut out for is retail work and I probably will never rise above full time because I am just not management material. Thank God for Brad. He's not a crutch but a support. I don't say any of this to make anyone feel sorry for me. It's just how I feel. I think one of my main issues hasn't been lack of money or no school or anything that hasn't been going the way I want it. It's that I miss her. I hear this voice in my head that tells me that I am 24 years old and I shouldn't act like I didn in high school. And I also have a smaller voice that just wants to sit and play video games all day. And sometimes I do just that. But generally, I just miss her. I took for granted that she would always be there. And then she wasn't. I want so much to sit and talk to her, even though I have a feeling of what she would say. I want so much to hear her voice, one more time. In a month it will be six years since she has been gone. And it still hurts as much as it did then. I need her so much right now... | | Thursday, August 24th, 2006 | | 8:32 am |
I have been feeling really good since my birthday. I have also been driving myself nuts at the same time. When a girl is in love with a boy and boy asks girl to marry him, things get set in motion in girl's mind. Even though the wedding could be years from now, girl wants to start planning. At least in her head. Maybe not doing actual planning. I think I have been doing good on not real planning. But when I am bored at work, have I been thinking of ideas to pitch at a later time? Yes. But a talk with Zoe and Brad calmed my mind down. I still think of ideas but I am not in any real hurry to pitch them. Unless I get the feeling Brad is open to being pitched. A friend at work gave me a The Knot bridal magazine. If you have no idea what that is, it's a huge book that is the ultimate resource for brides to be. It's been helpful to me. I have really been missing my mom more so lately than I have in a while. I wish I could talk to her, get her advice on things. I would go to Brad's mom but she and I have such different ideals that I think we would just butt heads more than listen to the other's opinion. And then the realization hit me. What did my mom know about weddings? She got married to my father in the backyard of one of her sisters house (I believe) and they were both in dress blue Air Force uniforms. That does not make me miss her less. My engagement ring right now is my mother's ring. Everytime I look at it, I think of her. I miss her a great deal. And in my mind, I haven't lost hope that I will have another woman to bounce ideas off of and would be there to tell me how ugly that dress is. Zoe. We are getting together Saturday for a day to really just hang out, hit a few shops, and browse. It should be a fun day. I am greatly looking forward to it. Early on, I didn't think I could go to Brad and just talk about different ideas. I didn't want him to think I was doing real planning. I wasn't really. Not until we set the date. But a lot of my original ideas were very traditional. And I think that was a turn off for him. But the more I thought, the more I realized as well. I think some of the things I orginially thought about was because I felt like I should do that. The big expensive site for the wedding, the classic reception. Waiters in starch white gloves kept coming to mind. I didn't want that. We don't have any real ideas for the wedding site. Just a few that we are leaving open. Now the reception...oh the reception should be a blast. Basically, it will be a big party. I'll just leave it at that for now. Current Mood: cheerful | | Thursday, August 10th, 2006 | | 9:47 am |
Let me tell you about my birthday
I have purposely not updating my LJ till after my birthday. Well, purposely in the matter of there wasn't much going on before then except "I am looking forward to my birthday and the subsequent weekend". So now I have something to talk about. :-) I found my brother on Myspace on Monday. I love my brother and I do look up to him. But we don't communicate well or often. So now I am hoping we can through Myspace. Tuesday was my birthday. I worked both jobs, as a housekeeper then at Best Buy. I checked my e-mail in the morning before work, like usual, to see that Wayne left me a comment. A really short but sweet comment that just had me beaming out of the den. That was a great way to start the morning. Especially when you have to be at work at 4:30am. So I go to work, average day. I am taking Thursday and Friday off for the TNA shows in SC. So that morning I had Ruth with me, one of my co-workers, to show her around so that she could fill in for me for the rest of the week. We get done a bit early so I head home. After a short nap, Brad and I got up, had Subway for lunch (Yummy!) then we saw Clerks 2 for the third time. I love that movie. We sit through a really bad storm at home that has us losing power several times. I go to Best Buy at 6. Best Buy had called me during the movie and asked me to come in early. I ignored the phone call. So they call Luke instead. And now there are four people closing instead of the three. So the three of them bitch about who should go home first. I tell them that it was my birthday but get ignored. Then ordered to go organize our Tuesday shuttle of cds. I do that till 9. Finish closing with them, they are still bitching. The closing manager decreed that everyone needs to help computers restock from tax free weekend. I keep my mouth shut, go over to computers, start putting out computer ribbon. They bitch and bitch then leave after ten minutes. I didn't know, stayed for thirty before telling the manager that tonight was my birthday and I would like to get home. Jon said that if he had known that, he wouldn't have told me to stay. Huh? It's 9:30. I am beat from seperating cds and dealing with my three co-workers. I just want pizza that Brad got from our favorite place in town, ice cream cake, then bed. I open the door to our apartment and our close, wonderful friends in Wilmington were in my living room. Brad through a surprise party for me. I change, hug everyone, dig into food, feeling rejuvenated. I was so happy to see everyone. And if I had gotten home early from Best Buy, I would have ruined the surprise. So we all hang out. Brad pulls me to the center of the room at about 10:30. Tells me how much he loves me. Really starts to make me tear up a little. Then drops down to one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes. He didn't tell any of our friends that he was going to ask! He told my dad, his parents, and Corey. But Corey couldn't make it to the party. He got on Daniel to bring his camcorder and I think Daniel figured it out and was taping when Brad asked me. It was awesome. So I went and grabbed my mother's ring and had him slide it on my left hand. Amazing, amazing way to end the day. I didn't get any sleep till 8:30am. Napped between 2-4 I think. Went to work, got done at 8, home by 8:30 and in bed. Slept till 12. Brad and I came down to Charleston yesterday. TNA house show here tonight. Tomorrow is TNA in Columbia. Saturday is in Anderson. Great great day. And it's going to be an awesome weekend, tatter. Current Mood: bouncy | | Sunday, July 2nd, 2006 | | 8:54 am |
This is your weekend update with your host Jimmy Fallon and Kristina Gause!
Sorry about the title. I watched SNL before bed last night. Right now I am in Charleston getting ready to pack up my car for the return trip to Wilmington. Dad, Carol, Sammie, and I are going to see Superman, then lunch, then I am going back home. I will just be so thankful once this move is done. And Tuesday, I get Corey and Zoe! I am really excited about them coming for the 4th. And hopefully I will have my desk set up by then, along with what few boxes I have left unpacked. I don't think there will be a problem. Unless I am just really inadequent to putting my desk back together. lol I was the one who put it together three years ago. Think lightening will strike again? ...nah. Things are going well in Wilmington. I am meeting Best Buy tomorrow to hopefully secure my transfer in the media department. Things are also working out for me in my full time job, better than I thought actually. I really like the building that I am in. I think I got the best one out of the five AAI Pharma has. Man I really want a DS! I had been going back and forth for a while on if I got one, would I play it enough to justify the purchase. Then yesterday Kristen and I went out and I played the New Super Mario Brothers game. I want one now! Bah for not having any money. And bah for not having a car radio! I was not having a good time during the four hour drive down to Charleston and I know I am going to hate driving back to Wilmington. I left my phone with Brad for the weekend and I got him one this weekend. So at least I have a phone for the drive back so I can talk to someone! I also went to see the second Garfield movie. I thought it was better than the first, actually. I wasn't too impressed with the first one but enjoyed it because it was Garfield. To me, this one seemed more like the comics. Much better acting on the part of Breckin Meyer, in my opinion. And Bill Murray is funny as always. My Japenese name is Fujiwara (wisteria fields) ??? Michiko (beautiful wise child) Fujiwara....beat that, Jesse Ortega! hahaha*cough* ahem. Sorry. Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me... Current Mood: cheerful |
