Crazy

Seth gave the title of the blog for today...Crazy! As usual we had a very busy and funfilled weekend. On Friday we went with my mom to the base. They had some tvs on sale so we went to go check them out. We ended up getting $100 more off the sale price because my dad found an advertisement online for the same tv cheaper! I love getting those great deals! It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. hehe. Anywho the final decision was a 42" flat screen tv with an ipod docking station at the bottom. How cool! Next up we went to visit our future apartment complex. We are tryin to get a deposit waived. Since neither me or Seth have any rental history they want us to pay a $450 deposit. The only way we can get out of that is to have a person with rental history and for them to make 5x the amount of our monthly lease. Pretty impossible but we will see what happens. Then we went and ate at...blahhhhhh...Joe's Crab Shack. Seth's choice. I don't eat seafood! It's so gross! And yes I have tried it! My mom cooked shrimp one time. I put it in my mouth took one bite and spit it out! It jumped in my mouth! Disgusting!!! So that was my one time of eating seafood. ew! Then we went to pick up the bridesmaid dresses! They came out so beautiful! I love the color! They are ssssooooo pretty! I was very pleased with the results.
Saturday was another busy day. Seth had to work but that morning/early afternoon we had a get together with people from my work. It was to celebrate...Betty's birthday...Mathai's birthday...and Marlon's going away party! whew! That was alot! haha. We went and ate at Babe's. That place has amazing food! All the refills on sides you can get! :D my fav! yum yum! Then after that I went out to my mom's to get ready for Leighann and Bryan's wedding. Leighann is very goofy! She makes me laugh every time I go up to visit my mom at work. Her and Bryan have been together for like 10 years or so. The wedding was outdoors and very pretty. It was so great to see Seth in some NICE clothes! He looked so handsome! I FINALLY got him out of his sweatpants and Chuck Norris t-shirts. He looked very nice!

We found it!

It's time to celebrate!!! YEAS! Me and Seth have finally decided on a place to live and are very excited about it!! Seth pretty much had is heart set on Valley Ranch but we just went to check out Euless. And we...we decided on...EULESS!! It's perfect! We sat down with the lady and told her what we were looking for. She showed us a couple floor plans and told us the prices. My eyes got huge because everything else that we had been looking at were affordable but more on the pricey side for me. I didn't think apartments cost that much but you might as well buy a house for as much as you pay rent for an apartment. Anywho we went to look at a model and as soon as I walked in my eyes got huge! Seth turned around to look at me and his eyes were huge too! I just started laughing. I knew this was the one that he had decided. It's a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath with a detached garage included with the rent. No extra! Suprise for me!... They are always extra. It has a built in computer desk and the master bath has 2 sinks. Yesterday me and Seth went to fill out the application AAAANNNNNNDDDDDD we got approved! lol. I know it's not a big deal and probably everybody gets approved but it's a big step and the closer we are to getting married! eks! :D So on July 1st Seth will move in and then after we get married and get back from our honeymoon then I will move in. That way it will give us time to start putting our 'home' together before the both of us have to get back to work. So yea for us! The other great news is that we have finally found a church!!! We made our final decision on that about 3 weeks ago. We had looked at a few churches and we feel like this is the best one for us. Both of us are enjoying it and the both of us are learning. So it's great! Another thing that we might possibly start doing soon but I don't know when is to find a church on Saturday nights. Seth has to work every other weekend so he is not able to go to church all the time. I thought it would be good if we were able to find a church that had services on Saturday nights. I know that it probably has to be a bigger church but if anybody has any suggestions let me know! Have a blessed day!

Apartment hunting!!

Today we are going apartment hunting for the last time!! We have been looking and we REALLY like this one in Valley Ranch. There are a couple nice ones that we also like in Arlington. Today we are going to go to the Euless/Bedford area and see what we find then make our final decision. I just wanted to go to this area because it is more in the middle of where the both of us work. yea! I'm excited! We have been SSSOOOO busy! It's been really crazy and it seems like it's only going to get worse for the next couple months! Crunch time. I'm so excited to start a new beginning and a 'new life' with Seth! It will be a blast! Anything with this dork is fun! ;D The other day I went and had lunch with him at work. It was alot of fun to hang out with him at work. His friend came over and covered him while we ate. How nice! The area where Seth was working they usually don't get lunch breaks. They get to eat while they work. I think that's illegal but it's the military and they have their own rules. I can't complain too much though. I am VERY PROUD of my fiance. I am proud of what he does and what he stands for! And he's finally in the states with me!! He is enjoying his job much more than he did in gitmo. He has alot more opportunities here and I enjoy seeing him being interested and active at work.

You're gonna miss this

One of my favorite songs right now is You're Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins. I heard this song and absolutely loved it. I keep this song near and dear to my heart. I feel like this is something that my dad would tell me and he probably has. haha. I'm the type of person that's always trying to plan the future. I believe it's good to have goals and plans for the future but not so much that you miss life. It's good to step back and take a look... enjoy the things you have right now. And believe me I do! I feel so blessed for everything that I have....a wonderful, loving fiance, family, a job. It feels so great! And I am so blessed! Alot of my friends have gotten engaged after me and are getting married before me. Every time I hear this I get a little jealous. I mean I wish me and Seth could have our wedding right now and that we could be married right now. But I know we are not suppose to be yet. The lord will guide like he has for the past two years. It will all come together. And it is... pretty fast too! Ever since I was little I knew that if I did get married then I wanted to date atleast a year and be engaged atleast a year. Well it has all happened and I'm so thankful for the way that everything has turned out. I couldn't be happier! I am so excited to marry Seth Timothy Ochoa! He is seriously THE BEST man that I have ever met! (I better say that since I'm going to marry him huh ;p) hehe. No but really he is. He treats me great...he has a great heart. EVERYTHING that I was ever looking for I have found 100% in him. He's my best friend and the greatest love I could ever ask for. I love you Seth Timothy!!
