Still alive!
Just super busy. I start school on October 3rd, wedding planning, work, and a small social life are all consuming right now.
I will post soon, I have some wedding tidbits and a story or two.

Much love,

Anne of Green Gables, Older Men, & Life Changes!

 I am watching Anne of Green Gables - The Sequel. Omg...Mr. Harris. What a handsome older gentle men. Cut scene to Gil - saying "Don't forget me." and handing her a note in the pouring rain and her rushing to the train to see him off! How could that not give you butterflies?! It makes my heart melt. Then Mr. Harris and Anne fighting in the snowfall and him asking her to marry him and he's in love with her. I'm a sucker for romantics. Especially in old things like movies, books, and TV.

Mr. M indulges in my romantics by leaving notes and saying things that make my heart melt. I am looking forward to growing old with him more than ever...he just loves me so much. I love him especially beacuse he loves me just the way I am.

I realize I haven't updated in a long while, but I was in fact one VACAY then just darn too busy. I feel badly beacause I promised I would update more but alas I have failed.

Pinterest has been catching all my attention! I will give you an invite if you like!

I have been to 5 weddings this summer and one more in October and with each passing one I get more excited about Mr. M and I!! Eeeeeee.

I neeeeeed to concentrate one Anne and cleaning since my Little Sis comes tomorrow night for a sleepover! <3 Yay!

Much Love,

Summer Vacation

As of 11:45 am today I was done work and on vacation! I have about 2 weeks of cottages, relaxing, dirtbikes, swimming, and shenanigans. A friends wedding is thrown in there too. Oh, and seeing the fiancee's brother's girlfriend from Newfie Land too! So. Much. To. Do. I love it though. I always look forward to my time off in the summer. I have a great job when it comes to that as well. I'm going to live it up now, while I don't have a serious career or a family!

In other news, I'm getting slightly bored with my red locks. Miss Lauren Conrad had a sweet do on twitter the other day that is non-permanent and SO very fun looking! I wonder how I would do it with red har? I wouldn't want it to look trashy!

Anyone have any ideas about this? Think I could pull it off?

Probably won't be updating too much over the newxt couple weeks, definitely try to post some pics through my phone to keep you guys updated!

So much love, Tmo

Wedding Dress Shopping

What an amazing experience! I had such a wonderful day yesterday with my Mom, Lil Sis, and my Aunt Kim. Everything was just as I had imagined it would be. I even cried when I found my dress, just minutes after saying "Aren't I supposed to just know?" I had a hard time at first because all the dresses were so pretty! The dress picked me in the end as my mom had asked me to try it on and I didn't think I would like it. It's also completely different from what I imagined I would wear. I'm in love. So, we then went down the street to Tim's for some coffee and decisions. I was still shaking and super happy and promptly decided that that dress kicked every other dresses' ass. ;) So we went back and tried it on with veils and such. I then said "yes to the dress" and bought it! I proudly paid for it all on my own! I've been saving. My dear little mommy bought my headpeice. I'm not going to post any pictures of my dress because I want it to remain a secret. It's special, and it shall remain that way until the big day on August 4th, 2012.

My mommy realizing I'm getting married.

Peek! This is the shop I bought the dress in!

My Sis & Mom

I'm so filled with romance and happy thoughts right now.
Ah, me. *sigh*

Two more shifts then Wednesday I drive down to see my babe! He's with his fam right now at his hometown. So excited to start my vacation!

Much Love Bloggers,

Accomplishments & Dresses

As I stated in this post I have my top 5 goals that I am trying to complete.

I have one of them begun - I got accepted to Center for Arts and Technology! I am going to be taking Events & Promotions Management and I am so excited. I have oodles of people say that it's perfect for me. While I'm not sure if it's perfect I do know I have a passion for planning things like parties and events through highschool and into my college years. I love entertaining friends and family.

SHOUT OUT to RORO who is joining me there! Whoop!

Another goal is taming my green monster. That is coming along. I had a difficult time last weekend, but I managed to control myself, ha ha. I have definitely made strides, especially since I have been working out and feeling pretty damn great about myself.

We attended a lovely wedding of an old friend last weekend in Cape Breton! That place is absolutely gorgeous!! You you ever have the chace to go go! We stayed there 4 days and I have never drank so much in my life. It was great fun and extremely relaxing. I could do what I want when I wanted, and I got to dress up, which I love.

On a completely different note - song I LOVE right now -

Foster and The People - Pumped Up Kicks

Tomorrow I am going wedding dress shopping for the first time and I am SO excited! We have been engaged for a little more than a year and I've been waiting for what feels like forever to try on the dress, to end all dresses, a girl wears in her lifetime. Sigh.

I don't really have much to say, Mr. M is gone right now, so I'm watching a silly chick flick called The Romantics. I made myself steak tonight. It was delicious. I am quite proud since I have never cooked it before. Props to Tmo.

Well, back to my movie. I'll write tomorrow night about my bridal shopping experience! <3

Much love bloggers.

Oh. M. G. - The Goal List

I feeeeeeel GREEEEAT!

I have been doing the work I promised myself I would start doing on myself and I am feeling MUCH better about the 'ol T-mo. I like her.

I am going to write these down so ya'll can hound me about doing them. Bahaha... no really.

Goal Numba 1 - Tighten it all up!

Goal Numba 2 - Accept and work on my jealous rage. (May be being a bit over dramatic on this one. It's not like I turn green and grow fangs...right?)

Goal Numba 3 - Go back to school. (and do something I should have been doing all along according to family and friends!) Cross your fingers for me. *wink*

Goal Number 4 - Have an amazing summer, full of shenanigans and love with my man and lady friends.

Goal number 5 - Work on cleaning my house. I am little more than terrible at it.

These are the top 5 poeple, think I can do it? On a couple I'm halfway through completing them.

So, I've laid it all out on the table. BAM.

On to my current social outings. I'm a huge socialite...uh no, ha ha. Recently went to the big beach about an hour and a half away from where I live. Parlee Beach, had too much and got a tan, sort of. I don't tan very well. I'm a white guuurl to the max.

Mr. M's idea of building a sandcastle.

Watched the hockey game last night at a friends since Mr. M is away, and that was a blast. Tonight I'm heading to the big Annual General meeting for my workplace, free food and really boring talks about money. It balances out. We also have a chance to win prizes. I got a coupon for a 50$ massage last year!

Friday night I'm going to a Bachelorette party for 3 ladies, 2 of them I know. Getting picked up in limo, so that should be pretty sweet.

Then Saturday going to my little sis's Grad party, second one. (divorced parents ftw.) Finally, Sunday supposed to go shopping in Bangor for a couple dresses to wear to the 4 weddings I have coming up. Already attended 1. So many this year. I suppose everyone I know is hitting that age.

Little Sis at Mom's grad party for her. So proud!

Almost have the decor booked for my wedding! Getting pretty excited. We'll hit the 1 year countdown soon. Eeeeee. Ha ha.

Ok, have to get ready for work plus bring dress and makeup to change into so I can drive straight to the hotel after work to get to AGM!

Have a beautiful day bloggers.

Much Love,

Tmo

Summer Love + Weddings!

It's Spring people! Get excited! I am so excited for Summer. Short shorts, pretty dresses, and no need for heavy coat wearing. Diving, rock climbing, camping, and weddings! Not mine, that's next year. I have 2 friends, 1 Stepbrother, and Mr. M's Cousin all getting married from July to October. I'm excited to get ideas and such from them.

As much romance as there is in my life I have recently just become fully aware of how lucky I am to have my Mr. M. I have 3 coworkers that have left or been left by their partners, 2 married and one long-term. My Fiancee may sometimes be a prick, annoying, say the wrong thing, and make mistakes. All that said, I can be a bitch, be naggy, picky, and ultra jealous. If you love someone it doesn't matter about all the bad...You are still going to love them through it. If you can't, then it's not meant to be. I need to start being more thankful of the wonderful man in my life that takes care of me better than I even know how to take care of myself. It'll be 4 years for us on the 15th so I'll post more about us then... Anyway, enough of this "reflection time". Just been on my mind recently.

I think I am going to start training to run a 5k at the end of May. My friend M.'s post on on her friend Will Power. inspired me. I don't know Mr. Will Power (see what I did there? I copied M. That's the most sincere form of flaterry M., don't be offended.) very well but I'd like to get to know him. I tend to start craft projects, cleaning, excersise, hobbies, and various other important things and not finish them. TERRIBLE habit. It makes me angry with myself. Grrrrrr, Tmo, stick with something. So, lately I have been Pole Dancing an hour everyday and now I want to start running. I actually LOVE running, but I have a hard time starting the process of running. Like, putting sneakers on and walking out the door (sounds easy?), that's just something I have trouble with. It's so hard. Sarcasm poeple. Ok, I am ranting.

I had a wonderful weekend in case you'd like to know. I went to a birthday party Friday, had a lovely Sat. with my lover, bbq on Sat. night with army friends, then Sunday Mr. M went away till Friday diving. Sunday night I had a bbq and a lovely walk with 2 of my co-workers G and S.

Here's hoping for more beautiful weather this week, especially Friday for when Mr. M comes home.

Much love bloggers, I apologize for the long post. I need to blog more so you don't suffer as much, ha ha.

Wednesday Morning Thoughts n. 2

So, this week I cheated a bit when it come to getting to Wednesday. I skipped Tuesday. I was running a fever with some chills and a cough. No work for Tmo! Now it's Wednesday, beloved halfway to Friday Wednesday.

My pole room looks FABULOUS! I don't use that word very often, but I feel it appropriate for my beautiful room. I have put hard work and a good pair of sweatpants into that room. I spray-painted mirrors (bye bye good pair of sweatpants who now have a streak of black on them) hung pictures/mirrors, installed curtains and a pole. It's our half craft/half workout room. It's very zen and it makes me happy. Now to practice. I will post pictures SOON.

Mr. M and I have been watching this show called Dollhouse on netflix and I just want to recommend it to those of you that get netflix. It's quite the chick flick with lots of action. It's very scifi though, so if you don't get along with shows like Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and so on, you won't like it.

After attending my sorority Ball last week I realized how very different of a person I am lately. I keep trying to go back to the crazy alcoholic (note* not actual alcoholic, just a person enjoying life.) person I used to be but that is no fun to me anymore. I like to drink, just not as much as I used to. I'm more satisfied with a glass of wine than a pint of vodka. Oh the glory days. I also realized what silly drama ensues when girls get together and that I can't hold a grudge longer than about 2 minutes. There are people who aren't in my life anymore and I am ok with that because they weren't supporting who I am or who I'm with. On a counter note there are some people I need to hang out with asap! <3

I hope summer gets here soon! I have four weddings to go to and I am so excited to get dressed up! I absolutely love weddings, and it'll give me ideas for my own next year!

Time to go to work!

Love to you,

Tmo

Will it ever end?

Again - 32*C - feels like 39. It's only 1:30. I need to clean my little bungalow but my god I can barely muster the energy to type in this heat. On the plus side, once I've done the living room and kitchen I can finish in the bedroom which I have closed the door too and BLASTED the wonderful, beautiful, heavenly Air Conditioner. *sigh* I do not know how I could have survived this heat wave without it...really. Vultures would probably be circling the sky above my house, just waiting for me to finally succumb to the heat. Ok...on to happier things.

My birthday is coming up! :) Sept. 30th, which is on a Thursday. So I think that Friday Mr. M and I are going bowling (because I love bowling and he never takes me, as I always beat him), then pretty room at a hotel, get all dressed up, and eat supper at the restaurant. That's all I want this year. I am pretty sick of going out and would much prefer bowling. I think that I'm beginning to show signs of age. Although, I'm only turning 22. He he.

Speaking of going out, I went out a couple of weekends ago with an old friend. I had a great time in the beginning but was crying at the end of the night. The clubs are just toxic (and not the terrible song by Brittany Spears, yes I just watched the whole thing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOZuxwVk7TU&ob=av2e)  for me. I love dancing and drinking and having a good time, but I think I love it too much. I need my Mr. M with me, or a good group of girls that have men too so we can all be bitches together and tell the boys to get lost. I am nice, which sometimes doesn't get me far in life. Believe me, I have changed when it comes to how shy I used to be, but I'm still the same sweet girl I have always been. I get hurt easily and don't take well to confrontation or having people be angry with me. It's hard to not care, but I'm definitely working on that.

As for the old friend, she's still a very, very good friend who I love and will stand up or any day and I miss her terribly, but we are in different places. - Literally and figuretively.

Oh my, guess I should get to work. I can't wait to clean the bedroom, *drool* COLD AIR!

Love,

Tmo

More heat!

Not only the weather either, this season of Vampire Diaries looks HOT!



Love,
Tmo

Camping, pageants, and diving...oh my!

Sooooo, last weekend was spent having an amazing time with 2 of my sorority sisters, one funny guy, and three more visitor friends PLUS a whole bunch of alcohol. It t'was a fantastic time. I also got a new hat, which I like very much, you can see it directly below.

I have been a little stressed lately, but the good in my life by far outweighs it. :)

I am loving Pretty Little Liars!! & The Real World. They entertain me at the moment.

My hunny is in bed, he's a tired boy lately. He's been helping instruct on a Dive Prelim and has to do crazy workouts with them. So it's like a 10K run then swimming halfway to the next city, then all this stuff in between!

Hmmm, what else has been going on in my life? Oh! I'm going to my Hometown tomorrow night because my sister is in the pageant! I won it in 05, so I'm so proud of her for going into it. Not because I want her to win, I just want her to have the experience I did of doing something fun with your friends. I also gained a WHOLE bunch of confidence from it. I used to be very shy in highschool, but through grade 11 and 12 I changed a lot.

I'll tell you sometime. I need Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Love,

Tmo

OkieDokie!

I am pumped!

Work, Photoshoot, Work, then Camping & the weekend!

I am leaving Mr. M to go camping on Friday night, and I am very excited. He is too, because he gets to play Halo without me bothering him :) T-hehehe.

I need to get some clothes ready for tonight's shoot, and finish getting ready for work! I need to stop spending so much time on the internet. It's going to make me late.

Love,

Tmo

Too many.

Bridal Magazines.

They are taking over my house!

I keep getting ones from newly married at work and I also bought a whole bunch.

I am hereby banning myself for at least 3 months, till the Fall one comes out. T-hehehe.

Well, this weekend I was supposed to go to N.S. but now it looks like it's a no go. So, now I'm looking at a bonding weekend with the fiancee. There is something I could attend, but I'm not sure yet...We'll see. You know how you want to go to something but you're scared it's going to be super akward. But in reality it might actually be fun and you'll regret it if you don't go.

There was a summer I didn't go to a lot of things because I was always hanging with my guy. Then he broke up with me for a month and a realized what an asshole of a friend I had been. Balance is so hard to acheive sometimes for me. I'm working on it. :)

My kitten Gus is eating my hair, he's super adorable though, so I don't mind. <3

Well, off to work I go.

Love,

Tmo

Why Not?

So, I had previously stated that I would not be "blogging", but every time I log on to this website I feel the need to write something. I have decided to start. I am by no means a "writer" or anything, but I do love to write.
I'm going to focus mainly on pop culture, fashion, and living the life of an army girlfriend. I'm just your average 20 something, trying my best to get on the job track and deal with my boyfriend's first tour to Afghanistan. I have graduated from a local college with a Youth and Childcare diploma but I want to do more than just take care of children. I haven't found the passion in my job I want yet. I love children, but I feel I'm meant for something different. Life is complicated like that.
I have been dating the love of my life for 2 and a half years and in October we're going to have our first tour together...36 days from now. It'll be for a total of 7 months. I'm focused on when he gets back.
While he's away there are things I want to accomplish - but that list will appear after he leaves. If I write it down on here and people read it it'll definitely keep me motivated. So, I'll need lots of readers..Please & Thank You.
It's September - so I have to wave goodbye to summer - it's starting to get chilly.

L8ta.

Out on the lake - my favorite place in the world.
