First day in CA!
Well!!!!! We are here! We arrived at our Hilton hotel around 11:30p last night. Courtney and my original flight was cancelled; so, we ended up going on a later flight to Salt Lake City, Utah and then San Diego. It was interesting to say the least. We all decided that we were going to sleep later today because the SPSU AUV team does not have to be at the competition to register and for orientation until 2pm, and it is in our hotel ballroom. Of course, when I get excited, I am up too early. I have been up for about an hour and a half (about 8:15am is when I got up CA time). We went to sleep around 2a this morning (CA time).
Last night, when we got settled, we found Del Taco and Jack-in-the-Box. David has praised the Del Taco out here. We had to try it. It was pretty good I must say! :)
Today, I think that Courtney and I are going to try to head to Sea World, while the team works! She isn't up yet so I will have to double check.
Apparently, at the Hilton Hotels (like all the other so-called fancy, nicer hotels), we have to pay to park and for internet. Parking is $17.00 per day... YES!!!! Per Day!!!! ARGG?! Then we have to pay for internet, which I think they said was around $11.00 per day! yes! Again, per day! So, my blogs may not be everyday, but I will try to see what the wallet permits.
I hope that everything is great in GA. See everyone when we get home in a week.
Love always,
Constance

Almost ready for the San Diego Trip
Well, today is Friday, July 6, 2007. We have about four more days until we leave of our trip to San Diego. We shall be there until July 17, 2007. I am excited. I wish that we were going to go to Texas to see Jason, Julie, Jack, Nolan, and Eli Bell on the way home. Maybe next time!!! :)
As always, I plan to make a packing list for both the trip there and the trip back, but haven't done it yet! OCD can be bad too!!! :)
Bryan, Fran, Sean, Sara, and Selie are all gone to Gatlinburg with Fran's parents until tomorrow sometime. I cannot wait for them to return. I miss them. Fran and I have become very close; I think of her as a best friend and a sister... It is nice to have someone to talk to about things and share things with....Even the stupid, crazy things. :)
I sold my Honda on eBay (Yes, eBay!) and got more money than I had asked; therefore, I am so happy. Well, the money is spent on the trip, but that doesn't matter.
David is going to start interviewing and applying to jobs when we return. School starts again soon! I am incredibly excited about that!
I will try to post a blog and pictures everyday, but cannot guarantee that. I will try though. David will try to post blogs and pictures for the competition on the SPSU AUV website. It is www.spsuauv.org.

Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!
Well, this will probably be my last posting until we return from our honeymoon! :( :)
We are excited about Christmas, spending time with our families, the wedding, our honeymoon, and a new baby in the Smith family..... NO, David and I are not expecting. David's older brother, Mark and Anna of Charlotte are expecting their third...a baby boy we will call Ian. After our trip in Gatlinburg for our honeymoon, we are stopping there for a day or two to meet the new baby. We are incredibly excited.
Each day, David reminds me of how many days we have until the wedding. Each day, I tell him to keep his mouth shut! :)
Everything seems to be in order... I have heard from our wedding planner and florist that I am the most prepared and organized bride that either of them have ever seen! THAT makes me feel great... Sometimes being OCD has its advantages.
Yesterday we celebrated Christmas with my family. It was, of course, a mad house at my Nana's house. Paul finally got to meet my father, who was on his best behavior!!! THANKS be to God!!!!! Great things HE hath done!!!!
Last night we went to our church for the last Sunday night service we shall see this year. We had a silent communion then went outside and sang Christmas carols. It was nice. Then we just sat around the house for a while and talked with Paul (David's Dad), Bryan (David's oldest brother), Fran, and their two children (Sean and Sara). It was nice!
Today we will celebrate Christmas with the Smiths. Tomorrow we will spend the day with Jason and Julie Bell. They are dear friends of ours who recently moved to Waco, Texas. They had two beautiful boys, Jack and Nolan "Nollie", with another baby boy on the way... She is due in March or April. We are excited about that as well.
I am thinking about hitting the spa on Wednesday before things get crazy..... We shall see!!!
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!!! God Bless you all!!!

No more
Today was my last day babysitting Mia Newman, the autistic child that I have been providing care for over the last few months. I shall miss it greatly, but am relieved to be able to sleep later (hopefully since I was waking @ 6am) and not to have bruises, cuts, and bit marks on me anymore.
My list of things to do has grown since yesterday, but I will not bore you with minor details of being a working, schooling, soon to be married woman!
Nothing new today really.. Think I am getting dark from the tanning bed, but only been three times!!! I LOVE MY SKIN! :) Bet you cannot believe you heard that come from my mouth (or words) huh? Me either!!!

2. Meeting with the wedding planner to go over everything
3. Do paperwork at the church and pay for the church and sound tech
4. Grocery shopping
5. Preparing for my shower on Saturday morning
6. Preparing for a graduation party Saturday night in Kennesaw
7. Working on the bridesmaids', parents', and other important people's gifts for the wedding
8. Wrapping Christmas gifts
9. Wrapping wedding gifts
10. Preparing to write more thank you cards
11. Clean the whole upstairs of the house
12. Change of address forms with post office
13. Fill out paperwork to change my name

15. See my parents and David's grandfather

AHHHHHH! So many things to do and sooooo little time. Some things can be put off though if needed.
We found out Tuesday that one of my best friends, Julie Bell, is having her third baby, and it shall be a bouncing, healthy baby boy!!! We are excited and cannot wait to see him be born in Texas and spoil and love him like Jack and Nolan!!!! :)
For right now, that is all. I am going to get ready for work now!!! Babysitting in Mableton until 3pm, then off to Atlanta from 4-9p.

Just another week
This week has flown by....just like every other week! After the funeral and everything, I have tried to stay busy..like a mother 'nesting' my mother says. It is like I am preparing for a new child to arrive, but I am really preparing to go back to work and leave David and Paul in the best shape possible! Funny how within seconds your life role changes!!!!!!!
Tomorrow, I will start back to work. As always, I am working two jobs: babysitting in Mableton and a customer service position in Atlanta. On Mondays, I babysit a 6-year-old Autistic child (Mia) from 8:30a-2:30p; then, I take my time getting to my other job (only about 20 minutes away from Mia's house). I have to be there from 4p-9p, but I usually clock in at 3p or so. Tomorrow, I think I am going to start going to the tanning bed again. I haven't gone in about 2 months because things have been so crazy with Rae, school, wedding, two jobs, premarital counseling, etc.
On Tuesdays, I work in Atlanta from 11a-9p (but I think I will go to tanning bed before that as well... Gotta get tan for my wedding dress!! :) ). Wednesdays are the same as Monday's schedule. Thursdays, I babysit from 11:30p-3p and then jet to my Atlanta job from 4p-9p (of course try tanning bed before babysitting). Then I am off on Fridays (until after the wedding). I am eager to stop babysitting and continue my job in Atlanta... Then, when I come back in Janaury, I will be full-time! I am excited!!! :)
Anyway, I must get to wrapping some Christmas gifts and stuff...
Until we meet again,
Constance
