It's such a huge step but it feels so good to have it out of the way and now we can concentrate on making our house into a home! We're really excited. Kevin is at the house now hanging blinds and unloading the POD so that we actually have furniture. My mother went earlier and washed all my dishes and got those ready for me since I'm stuck at work until 4. At least I have tomorrow off, and a long weekend to get everything settled! 2008-10-23 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=589568 SOOO...Kevin and I close on our first house on Wednesday. We are sooo excited! We started building it in June so it's been a long process that hasn't always been fun, but at least now we're getting to close and move in! We're very lucky that we're getting to close in a time that most people aren't loaning out money. We're lucky, we've been good with our credit, saved a great down payment, and my awesome Brother-in-law is doing our mortgage so that helps out tremendously!!! I can't wait to move in and have my very own house!!! It's such a HUGE step, but boy are we ready to get moved in and settled!!! The past year has just flown by. In two weeks we'll be married a whole year! It's been really fun, but so much has changed in that year and it's ending on such a fabulous note of owning our own house! We truly are blessed! 2008-10-20 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=577657 So it's been a really long time since I've posted...So much has happened. Kevin and I are building a house. We close on Oct. 17th and couldn't be more excited and happy about the process. Since we are building a house and we were living in a apartment we decided to live with my parents for a few months...that's been interesting. They've been great, they've allowed us to stay there and not fuss about it or make us pay on the bills. We occasionally get some groceries and I do help clean up and keep the house clean, but other than that we don't have to do much so it's been so nice of them to allow us to move in and relax before we move into the house. We're excited though. On another exciting note, I just got a new job. I hated the old one, so I got a job at UAB Hospital as assistant to the director of the Residency Program...which means working with doctors all day long. The hours are wonderful and i get to carpool with Kevin so it's a great opportunity, not to mention when we h... 2008-09-20 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=521091 So it's been a really long time since I've update and a lot has happened!! The most recent thing is I got a new job. I have hated my job for quit some time so I finally had enough and quit. I start my new job on May 5th at Giles Enterprises. I will be working doing office work and working with the marketing department. It seems like a good job and the people seem super nice!!! It really works out well because my last day here is April 30th so I'll have a few days to rest before starting the new job! Kevin and I are looking for a house. We've been looking for many months now and we continue to look. I think we've decided to look for an older house that we can put some work into and make it have some charm and character. We'll see how it goes though. Life is good...Hope all is well with ya'll! 2008-04-24 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=485935 Life is pretty good right now. I have the best husband and friends a person can ask for. There are some people out there though that I worry about and wonder if they truly see how they treat the people they call "friends." But that's a personal matter and not meant for this blog. Yesterday wasn't a good day for me at work, I just got stressed out about some things. When I went home I cooked dinner for my husband, we ate, and I was cleaning up the kitchen when we asked me to stop and go take a bath. He had ran me a hot bath and put candles in the bathroom and let me go relax while he finished cleaning up! I have the best husband a person could ever want. He's so thoughtful! 2008-01-29 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=473718 SO Kevin and I had a GREAT first Christmas married! We spent lots of time with our families, but the best was when we exchanged gifts and spent Christmas Eve day together. It was fun just to watch a movie and open gifts and such. It's been so crazy since we've gotten married with the holidays and such that it's so nice just to spend time with each other. Sunday night we went to dinner and a movie just the two of us. I can't tell you when the last time was we did that. We saw I am Legend...it was a very good movie! It was fun doing something we don't normally get to do. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband! On another note, Kevin and I are officially looking for a house! We're very excited but nervous about the whole process. We want to stay in this general area, but we'll just have to see what becomes available. I can't wait to have a house of my own!!!! 2007-12-27 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=457164 So now I'm married. I've been married a week and a half and I really like it so far. we've had fun getting used to living together and doing things together. he's a great husband. he cooked dinner for me and cleaned the kitchen up last night, while I laid around watching TV. he really is thoughtful and he's making the transition on me as easy as possible. I'm very lucky!! We had a fabulous trip to Seattle for our honeymoon. The weather was great and it was so nice to just relax and not be on a schedule! 2007-11-13 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=443917 So I'm now just three weeks away from the biggest day of my life. The plans have been made, the money has been paid, and now all I have to do is get married right? Wrong! I never knew that change could be so scary. I guess this change is so scary because I've had over a year to think about it, and it lasts FOREVER! Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited to marry Kevin, and he's the only one for me, and I know we're making the right decision, but there's always apprehension before making a big leap of faith like this one. And that's exactly what it is, a leap of faith. I must have faith that Kevin will be a good husband, and I must have faith that if we put God first we'll make it through anything, and I must have faith that our love with last FOREVER. I do have faith in all of those things, but there is still that lump in my throat and that realization that I Brittany Marie Raines, will be Mrs. Brittany Harris in 3 weeks. That's alot of change! Plus I am moving out of my house, t... 2007-10-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bmrh?l=5&entryID=430603 Well, it's now down to crunch time and the wedding is just 7 weeks away. It's amazing how fast the past year has done by. We have basically everything finished, we just have to go back for confirmation appointments with the Tutwiler, the florist and the cake lady. I have a few little things left to do, but basically everything is taken care of. Mom has been addressing invitation, and they should go out next week. That's such a scary feeling to know that the invitations will go out next week!!! We've had two parties so far, and they have both been great. We had good attendance at both which is so nice. It's so nice to see people support us and be there for us. We have two parties left and then the big day! It will be here so quickly, but both Kevin and I are ready for it. I'm ready to have just one home, and be able to go there and have all my stuff and my life be with Kevin. Life will be so much simplier once we're married. It still hasn't hit me that the wedding is so clo... 2007-09-10
