I can't believe it is allready August! The summer has flown by, it took forever for May to get here and then as soon as Kendal was born it FLEW by!! I have a job interview tommorow for a part-time nanny job in Greenwood and the mom said if everything works out I can bring Kpup(her nickname from daddy) with me. So that would be nice. I would only be working 2 days aweek with an occansional 3rd day and I could bring her with me...hopefully. I am so glad because I didn't want to leave her even if it is for 2 or 3 days. I am going to sign up for classes next week so the money we get from my grants will make up for me not working everyday. But if she comes with me to work we won't have to pay for daycare and that will be nice.
I can't believe she is going to be 3 months old on the 19th...it is true the time goes by so fast! She is "talking" so much, I love her little voice. She is the cutest baby in the entire world...she really is! She has her little bunny friend that we named "ears" that she holds onto and kisses. She is starting to get a personality and growing into a little person.She gets her shots in a week and I am going to cry , I don't want her to get hurt!
Well we are going to go for a walk since it is so nice out.

Well on Monday I went in to be induced at 11:00 , the doctor broke my water and put me on pitocin at noon. I was dilated to 3 cm's when I went in and I was 60% effaced. They checked me around 3:00 when I got my epidural and I was at 4 cm's. Well at 7:00 they checked me again and I was 7cm's. My doctor and my nurse had to go do a C-section and my nurse said " well we are going to be gone for about an hour or so, so you have to wait an hour. I am sure you will be fine" Well the nurse that was with me during the c-section came in at 8:15 and said, " the baby's heartbeat is speeding up, I think she is telling me it is time." So she checked me and said ( and I am serious when I say she said this" WHOAAA Yea I hope Dr. Perkins is done because you are at 10 and the baby is right there.
Well my nurse comes in starts prepping me for delivery, they sit me up and she says to Jamie " look Dad there is your daughter" So I pushed 4 times before the doctor came in, then 2 more pushes and 1 little one and at9:22pm Kendal Marie was born.
Labor was pretty easy to my surprise, and once I got the epidural I didn't feel a thing.
We are getting into a routine , and it is amazing how used to her we are. She has only been here for a few days but it seems like she has always been here. Jamie loves her so much, he says she is going to be a daddy's girl. She has a full head of dark black hair like her daddy and the biggest blue eyes. If I can figure out how to post pictures I will, otherwise go to my facebook or myspace and look at the pictures there.
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Well I went to the doctor yesterday and he said I am 3cm dilated and almost completly effaced. SO he asked me if I wanted to be induced on Monday since he is working and I said sure why not. So on Monday I go in at 10:30 and Kendal Marie will be here sometime Monday! I am so nervous about labor but I am excited to meet her. A few weeks ago I was totally not ready but I am finally there. I was just nervous about the whole situation but I am ready to meet her now! I can't wait to see what she looks like. My cousin who is a labor and Delivery nurse at the hospital works this weekend but I called her yesterday and she said she might be able to come in on Monday for me. That would be nice, she will help calm my nerves.
In other news Jamie has a new job!! He is going to start on Tuesday the 27th, and it has full benefits and good money! I am so glad because I am not going to be working for awhile, so now that he will have a Salary paying job we will be ok. Plus he won't have to work weekends anymore, which is awesome!!! So we will have a week together with the baby, before he has to go back to work.
WOW I can't believe I am going to have a baby on Monday....

I am so over being pregnant and I will never again take for granted:
picking things up off the floor
walking up stairs at a normal pace and for that matter without running out of breath
snezzing/laughing and not peeing a little
breathing
sleeping in a normal position
sleeping without having to get up to pee 2000000 times a night!
tieing my shoes
putting on socks/shoes
keeping up with my husband in a public place
being able to have sex...it is so uncomfortable
taking walks..
On another note, I went to the doctor on Thursday for my weekly check up and I am 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced(or however you spell it) and Kendal is really low. He thinks I will deliever in 2 weeks and says for sure I won't make it to my due date since she is so low. So I really have to be carefull on what I do or it could induce labor. When I went to the doctor a week before I was even dilated and he could barely feel my cervix so I am progressing rather quickly. I can't believe it has been 9 months, it has FLOWN by! She will be here sooner than we know it. CRAZY!!!!
I can't wait to wear normal clothes and by a new bathing suit!!!

Well I can't believe that in a little over/or less than a month I will be a mom! These past 8 months have flown by! I am not ready yet...well physically I am but not mentally! We don't have everything that we need and I still need to do things!
I don't know if I said this before but my Nanny job will be ending May 16...tentativly. They are moving to North Carolina in June and I am so sad and upset! I am going to miss my little man! I have been with him since he was 3 months old , and now he is so big and doing so many cute things! The plus side is I am going to get my 1 week paid vacation, severicence(SP???) pay, and unemployment so I probably won't go back to work till August. When I do go back I am going to go back part-time, since it is so expensive to pay for 5 days of daycare. Plus the nanny agency I go through the lady I work with told me that I could make what I am making now at 3 days a week, so that would be nice. I just don't reallly want to find another job, I love this family! If I don't find a nanny job then I am going to work at my step-mom's office or my mom's work part-time. It will be nice to have a break this summer with Kendal.
We are planning a vacation down to Houston in July and I am excited! I get to see where Jamie grew up and we get to take Kendal to the beach! We are going to stay at his freind James' mom's house. Then we are going to stay 3 days at South Padre Island. It will be nice...HOT but nice!
I love this nice Spring weather, I just hope it stays! It is such a tease, one day it is 65 then 2 days later it is freeeeeezzing out! I am ready for the warm weather!
Anyone want to buy a 1998 Ford Taurus? Let me know if you do! :-)

Well I haven't updated on this in awhile. I have been so busy. Jamie has ajob, he is making less than he was at Dick's but he will get a raise soon...and it's money! We have our insurance situation straighted out. I am on Cobra until the baby comes then I am going to apply for self-employment insurance. Unless by then Jamie can get insurance or is at better job that has benifts.
I can't believe in 2 months we are going to have a baby. It is so exciting and scary at the same time. Everytime I look in her room I think "holy crap we are actually having a baby". The 9 months have gone by fast. I can't wait to see what she looks like. Jamie is so excited, he is going to be such a great dad.
The warm weather this week is so nice, but such a tease! On the news today they said it might snow again....I am so sick of snow!! I want the spring weather to stay! Easter is so early this year and I have limited options in what I can wear, and I will be pissed if it is cold! I have a cute little , well not little, skirt I want to wear and I really don't feel like frezzing in it!
Hopefully in late June we can go to Houston, I want to go to the beach! Jamie said we can stay a few nights at South Padre Island so that will be nice. I bought Kendal a cute bathing suit for this summer! It is so tiny! I got it at Once Upon a Child, I love that store! She is going to be one well dressed girl.
Well I have things I should get done before Nicholas wakes up.
Hope everything is going good for everyone else

Yea today is my birthday and tomorrow we hopefully find out what the baby is. As long as the baby works with us then we will know. We allready think it is a boy, we just want to confirm our thoughts..lol. I can't believe Christmas is in 5 days! I love Christmas! I hope we get some snow on Christmas, beacuse it just makes it feel that much more special. I want to build a snowman , and Jamie and I didn't get a chance to with the last big snow. Hopefully his friend James can come up here in a week or so, and his one wish is to build a snowman, since he has never realy seen snow. I would feel so bad if he didn't get his wish.
Wow I am 23...crazy!

Well my birthday is excatly a week away and I am getting excited! I love my birthday! We also find out what we are having on the 21...that is if the baby cooperates then we will know. i think it is a boy, but we just want to be sure! :) I can't believe Christmas is almost here, I haven't even begun my shopping. I am not a slacker, I just have had no money, none at all.We used Jamie's mom food stamp card to get us through last week.We had so many bills hit us at once that we were flat broke, but I believe things are starting to look up...but I won't get my hopes up to much.
Tommorow is my last day at the Friga household for 2 weeks. They are going to North Carolina for Christmas and I get paid for 2 weeks and then I am also babysitting and I get paid from her to...so sweet!
Still don't look pregnant, otherwise I would post pics. I look like I am only like 8 weeks, when really I am 17 weeks. I can tell, my mom , and Jamie can tell but noone else really can. I really want to look pregnant! People don't believe me when I tell them that I am almost 4 months pregnant! My jeans are getting tight though and I have to get a new bra this weekend, none and I mean none fit! Hopefully I will stop getting sick here soon. Everyone says that is why I haven't gained much weight.
More snow this weekend! Yea I love snow, it really makes it feel like Christmas time! Hopefully when Jamie's freind James comes up after Christmas it will snow for him. He lives in Houston and has never really seen snow...he has seen flurries but nothing like it is here. I can't imagine never seeing snow. It would be sad if he didn't get his wish of building a "real snowman" as he says.
Well I hope everyone is having a great week!

Yay for the first snow! It really gets me excited for Christmas! Well my birthday is in 15 days and I am not really sure what I want this year. Usually I have a list of things I want , but this year all I really want and need is money. I sent Jamie a picture of a really cute purse I want , so maybe he will get me that. My mom allready gave me part of my gift...new glasses, exciting right? Well I needed new ones and she works at an opitacal lab so she can get them at discount.I just can't believe that it is December...where did the year go?
Well we go to the doctor on Friday to hear the heartbeat again, hopefully I can get the doctor to give me an ultrasound so we can maybe see what we are having...highly doubtfull though. I am also going to yell at him beacuse I am still getting sick and I am almost 16 weeks, and he told me "oh by week 13 you will feel so much better". What a load of crap!!
I can't wait till Christmas Break, where I can sleep in and get stuff done around the house. Just one more week, then I am off till the new year! Plus I get paid for it, and I am also babysitting for 4 days and I get 300 bucks from that so I will be getting some sweet money over break. Hopefully we can catch up on bills then and have money left for once!
Well I am going to make something to eat

Well Jamie and I went to the doctor on Thrusday and we heard the baby's heart beat. After hearing it, it just made me realize that we really are going to have a baby. Now I know for sure that there is something growing inside me. I knew before that I was pregnant but until I heard the heartbeat it really didn't set in.So by May 25 we really will be parents!! The only time I feel pregnant right now is when I am getting sick, and that I am tired ALL THE TIME!! I am hungry 10 minutes after I eat. I pee at night, I wake up at least 2 times every night to pee, and I am only 11 weeks...what am I agoing to be like at 20 weeks?
We moved into a bigger apartment and it finally feels like home, we have unpacked and decorated...not fully but almost done and it now feels comfortable.
I CANT WAIT for Thanksgiving, I love to eat and this year noone can tell me I am eating to much! My mom yelled at my step dad the other day beacuse after dinner I made a sandwich and he said "damn girl you are eating again" and she told him" shut up that baby needs to grow!" I have only gained a pound and a half since my last appoitment so I feel that I need to eat more..haha.
Sunday my grandma is having Thanksgiving and I can't wait to tear up those perogies...mmm mmm!!!
Well I need to check on the little one he is crying again....(the baby I nanny for)

Well I went to the doctor on Monday and everything seems to be fine. They ran a bunch of test and conformied my due date of May 25. It hasn't really hit me yet, and I guess it's beacuse I can't really tell I am pregnant,except for when I feel sick and my jeans are getting a little tighter.We have a boys named picked out Noah James. James is after Jamie and his dad James. Jamie says he just wishes his dad could be here to see the baby, but I really feel like maybe his dad had a part in this. Now I am about to cry.
We really want a boy so we talk like the baby is a boy, hopefully that will make it be a boy...lol!
I start my new nanny job next week and I am nervous! I am nervous beacuse it is a little baby and their first child, and I am also nervous about telling them that I am pregnant.
Anyone looking for a one bedroom apartment? On the 3rd floor, fireplace, really nice!! :) We are trying to release ours so we can move into a rental house before I get to big or it gets to cold.
I am so glad it is starting to feel like Fall, I LOVE FALL!!! MMM apple cider and pumkin pie, and hot chocolate, and picking apples at the orchard, fall is the best. The only problem is after Halloween I start getting really excited for Chirstmas and my birthday...I start listening to Christmas music usually the first week of November...mmm now I am thinking about Thanksgiving and all the good food. I sure am going to miss our fireplace if we move before it gets cold.
Everyone have a safe and good weekend!

Well like I said in the last entry I am pregnant. We did not plan on having kids for a few years, but sometimes life just throws you off course. We are excited about it, at first I was upset and really ticked but now we are ready to start the next chapter in our lives. We are due May25,2008. I just can't believe that Jamie and I are going to raise a human...I mean we actually are going to have to take care of a helpless baby. I know we are going to be good parents, I mean I LOVE kids, in fact I am getting ready to start a new nanny job with a 2 month old, so I will get alot of pratice.
I go to the doctor on the 15th...fun fun! I hate the OBGYN, I rather go to the dentist 3 times a week then go to the OBGYN once a year, let alone once a month for the next 9 months. I have been ok, I've been dealing with nausea and headaches, and I don't know why they call it morning sickness beacuse it last until about 4:00pm for me. I just can't wait till the nausea is over. I'll post pics and everything once I start showing,thats another thing I don't want to get big. I am scared of being huge, I'm sorry I have just had eating disorders in the past(like 7 or 8years ok) and deep down I still have those fears.
I have had some mad cravings allready, I was craving Jamie's dads Italian Vegatable soup so bad yesterday, so we went and bought the ingredints and I ate about 5 bowls of it. I could just taste it and smell it and I HAD TO HAVE IT!! It's weird! I still want to make more of it, Jamie is going to be tired of the soup by the end of this.
We are looking for a house to rent and we found one that we fell in love with. We were planning on buying a house in April, but we are going to wait a little while longer, plus we have to get out soon beacuse we live on the 3rd floor and only one bedroom and I can't be 6 months big fat pregnant hobbly up the stairs.
I hope we can still go to Disney this summer...gosh I want to go so bad!!!

Well I have a new job but today is my last day! I have only worked for this family for 2 weeks and I couldn't take it! The parents are going through a divorce and it is a single dad, the mom lives in Boston so the kids barely see her. The kids are Eliana 3, and Alex 6. Alex goes to school all day but when he is home he doesn't listen to me and he gets very angry. He is one of those kids that deals with things with anger. He didn't want to go to soccer one day so he threw his cleats across the room. I know that there are bad days but these kids have them everyday. The 3 year old whines about everything, she is pretty much spolied. She is a sweet girl though just spolied. I feel bad for them beacuse of everything they are dealing with right now but it is too much for me. Plus the dad wants me here between630-700 everyday to get them up for school and take Elaina to preschool so from 9-12 I just sit at there house. But I only get paid from 7-9 and then 12-6. So I am techinally here 11 hours but I get paid for 6-8 hours..just depends on when he gets home. They live in Fishers which is about a 30 minute drive from my house and the other night I didn't get home till 7 after being there since 630 in the morning. They used to have a live-in nanny and I think that is what they need again. I gave him my 2 weeks but he said today is my last day....so hopefully another job comes soon.
We think we sold my car, a guy looked at it on Thrusday and he said he wants to come pick it up on Saturday, unless he finds something. *Crossing fingers* That would be so nice then we would have 900 to put in the bank..since the rest has to go to paying off the car.
Jamie is thinking about going into the Air Force and I am totally against. I don't want to be a miltary wife. Plus he wants to be a fire-fighter so thats a dangerous job, so it just makes it that much easier to say no.
The Colts game was awesome! Dallas looked so sexy! He made some good plays that night to! We were right in front of the Super Bowl banner and I got some great pictures! Next time we do though I would like to be closer. We went to all the festivites going on downtown and we had a blast. Kelly rocked out, Hinder sucked and I don't know about Faith we left before her performance. When Hinder performed you couldn't understand a damn word they were saying, the lead singer just screamed. Plus they suck in general( sorry if you like them! :) ) but Kelly rocked like she always does live! Her hair looked so cute! She sand some songs from her new Cd (which I have) and it was great to hear those live.
John Mellencamp performed at the game and I would like to go to his concert when he comes in Nov. I am trying to win tickets so my mom and I can go. I can't afford them any other way.
Jamie's birthday is Sunday and we were going to go to nasville and maybe try to go to the Colts/Titans game but since I am out of a job once again that won't be happening...unless that guy pulls through for us. Jamie's friend Aaron lives there so we don't need a hotel, we just want to see Nashville. Last time we were down there he took us to the mall and that was it! It sucked! Come to think of it the Colts played the titans the last time we were down there..weird.
Well that about sums up my life right now.
I wish I had the money to get Jamie the birthday present I wanted to get him. I wanted to buy Disney tickets and suprise him with a trip in October, hopefully my family is going in the summer so we can go again. I miss Disney and I have only been once. I need help!

Well right now in the Johnson house everythign is pretty crazy. We are flat broke and when I mean flat broke we had to borrow money from my dad to pay rent. I am out of a job right now so we are just scrapping the bottom of the bowl for every last penny. Hopefully my interview works out on Sunday and I will be working on Tuesday.
I am selling my car so if anyone wants to buy a 2001 Ford Focus let me know, it's a great car and I love it but finaclly we can't afford to pay payments on it every month so it's time for it to go. I was hoping to keep it till April when I could get an SUV but it's ok.
On a happy note Jamie won tickets to the Colts season opener and I am so excited to go! I can't wait to see my man Dallas and his nice tight end...mmmmmm.
I also got to tocuh the other love of my life...David Cassidy. Ok laugh all you want but I love him! LOVE HIM!! I went to his concert with my mom and he shook my hand, put his arm around me and called me honey. I thought I was going to die! MMMM...I need a moment. I just got his new book today...after waiting 4 weeks for it!! When I opened the door and the delievery man was stanidng there with it, I jumped for joy, I couldn't contain myself!
Well our anniversary was ok, we couldn't really afford to do anythign, so hopefully sometime soon we can go someplace and relax, that is once I get a job!
School is still on hold since I think work is more important right now, but I am hoping to get into a late term class in October , and so is Jamie. We both got a $300 scholarship, so that pays for half plus he got another $350 so his school is all paid for.
Well Jamie got his radio working so I am going now

[Monday, Aug. 6th, 07 @ 10:02 am] |
Well it yesterday was our one year anniversary! We didn't really do anything since we had a wedding to go to on Saturday , but he says he is going to suprise me with a weekend trip somewhere! I can't wait for that! I can't believe I have been married for a year now, and I am still not done with the wedding album or honeymoon scrapbook. I haven't changed my social security card either...but my goal is to get that done today! THe year flew by so fast. We had some hard times this year but we became a stronger couple through everything. I know that I am so lucky to have a husband like him. He may not be perfect but he is damn near close...and I know I am nothing close to perfect and I still don't see what he sees in me.
My new job is going good but I am in looking for another one to start in Sept. beacuse the mom is going part-time and they won't need a nanny anymore. I pray every night that I find something beacuse right now I haven't and I am scared that I won't have a job.
Hopefully I will be going back to school here ina few weeks, Jamie is for sure. He got all his school paid for and I got half of mine. The thing is though they haven't mailed my scholarship in yet and I might get my classes dropped if it doesn't get there soon.
Well I hope everything is going good for everyone else. Have a good day!

Well my life has been crazy these past months. Jamie's dad came up to visit us in the begining of June and he passed away while visiting. He died on Fathers Day, so this past week has been really hard. Prayers , thoughts and good vibes are appreciated.
I have a new job I am a nanny and it is amazing how much money I make now. I doubled my income and I was in shock when I got my first check,because I have never got that much money from a job before.
We leave for Florida on the 7th of July and I am so excited because we really need a vacation now.
Well thats pretty much what is going on in the Johnson house hold right now...oh and yea we are quickly approaching our 1 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe we have been married for almost a year now.Time sure flies.

| Colts in the superbowl, 6month wedding anniversary! |

Well this is going to be a good weekend for me. My beloved Colts are in the superbowl and I am so excited I start to tear up when I think about it...yes I am a nerd but I am a True Blue fan no matter what!
Then the day after my boys win (which they will, they are going to KILL the bears!) it is Jamie and I's 6 month wedding anniversary, I can't believe we got married 6 months ago. These past 6 months have gone by so fast, pretty soon it will be our 1 year and I am sad and happy at the same time. I love being married but it is sad that I will never be a bride again. I wouldn't trade being married for the world, I just finally got used to calling Jamie my husband and going by Nicole Johnson. Sometimes it seems like we just got married like a week ago and then other times it feels like we have been married forever.
We are finally caught up on all of our bills and we have money! It is so nice to not worry about money. We found a house the we really like but we aren't going to jump into anything just yet, we are still looking around but we do love the house. Our lease isn't up till July 1 so we have some time and if that house gets sold then it wasn't meant tobe. I am just not getting my hopes up yet. We love our apartment so if we don't find a house or we can't get one right now then we will renew our lease for 9 more months and then move in March.
Damn it so windy out, I hate this cold weather... I wish I was in Miami with my man Dallas Clark...mmm what a hottie...and Brandon Stokley to...I need a moment. :)
GO COLTS!!!!!

Well I haven't updated in awhile, I am so bad at this. Our life is pretty busy right now. We are looking for houses, hopefully we will be in one when our lease is up in June. I got approved for 100 thousand so we are looking under that. I am so excited and nervous to. If anyone has any advice for us that would be great! Jamie is getting a raise at the end of the month and that just makes me so happy! Hopefully I will be getting a raise since minium wage is going to be raised!
MY COLTS are doing awesome and they are going to the superbowl...ok they haven't won yet but I know they are going. As I sit here I am wearing my lucky colts hat and Peyton Manning jersey. I love them I am a true blue fan. If anyone wants to come to my superbowl party let me know. My rules are that you have to wear colts blue or colts clothing!
Our 6 month wedding anniversary is coming up on Feb 5, I can't believe we got married 6 months ago. It's so sad in a way, my wedding dress just hangs in the closet and I am now a boring wife...I am so kidding about that last part. I love being married and I am not a boring wife I'm an awesome one.
It finally snowed and I am so excited. I am going to play in the snow with my handsome husband and then come in a make hot chocalte and watch our Colts beat the crap out of the Patriots!
GO COLTS!!!
Well I better get going, I am going to make an effort at updating this more.
Have a good week everyone!

Well my 22nd birthday was yesterday and I can't believe I am 22. I think 22 is such a odd age, it seems like I am stuck in the middle.
I had a pretty good birthday. On Saturday I went out with some freinds and had a good time. My best freind Hannah's birthday was Monday so we exchanged gifts and all that on Saturday. Jamie got me a new digital camera...which I needed. I broke my other one on our honeymoon. My mom got me a colts jersey and a new jacket...which I also needed my other one was getting old and it was dry clean only so that sucked. My dad took Jamie and I out last night for dinner and he got me a colts long sleeve shirt. If you can't tell I love the Colts!
I can't believe Christmas is in 4 days, I haven't even finished my shopping! I better get on that tomorrow!
Well I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Holiday. Try to relax and enjoy the time with family and friends.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

I can't wait to decorate our apartment it is going to look so cute!
Jamie and I are selling our washer, we are getting a new one from my parents for Christmas so if anyone needs one let me know. I am not sure how much we are selling it for yet...I am sure Jamie knows what he thinks a good price would be. So let me know if you need one!

| Wedding recap |
[Friday, Oct. 6th, 06 @ 3:02 pm] |
Well I thought I should update this thing and post about the wedding. Our 2 month anniversary was yesterday and I can't believe 2months ago i got married.
Ok here is the recap on the wedding with some pics included.
Ok so after the reharsal me and my girls and Jason...michelle's boyfreind went to cheesburger for a drink and just chill. I had an emotional break down and started crying I don't really know why I was crying it was just a mix of everything that made me break down. After cheeseburger Hannah and I went to Mejeir to get some ribbon to finish the programs with, and we saw Jamie and his best man James. It was nice to see Jamie but we were in a hurrying and had to get home.
That night we finished up the programs and Hannah and I went to bed around midnight I think. I kept waking up all night , I was so nervous. The morning of the wedding Hannah made breakfast and then Lauren and Michelle came over and we left to get our hair done. Our apponimnet was at 10 and we didn't leave until 1:00. Pictures were starting at 1:30...so yea we had to hussel. Michelle's boyfreind Jason went and got me subway and dropped it off and that chruch and I had one bite...maybe 2 and then my cousin said...there is no time you have to get ready. So I didn't get to finsih it and the next thing I know I look over and Hannah is eating it.I ask my mom and my cousin Amanda where Jamie is at and he was not at the church yet..so that made me even more nervous. I called him and he and his groomsmen where leaving steak n shake and they were on their way. I couldn't believe it they were eating while I was a nervous wreck! We took our pictures and then went back to the room that I was held CAPTIVE in for 2 1/2 hours! So all the girls and I played Brain Age until it was time...BLUE BLUE!!
Finally at 4:30 our friend Eric(who was an usher) came in and said it was time to go. I yelled Finally!
I was calm and relaxed all day, and then my MOH (Hannah) turns around as we are waiting to walk down the aisle and says...I AM SO NERVOUS! ARE YOU? Thats when it hit me and I started shaking! When we got up to the door Eric and my cousin Jon said " you look beatiful" and Jon said" here it goes the LOOONG walk to the rest of your life...haha, I am nine months into mine good luck!"
Everything in the ceromony went smoothly. I did almost pass out, I started swaying. It was from nerves and being so hungry!
After we walked out to leave and my parents had suprised us with a cadiallac...we had no idea that they were going to get us a car! It was so cool! We came back did the rest of our pictures then we headed to the Holiday Inn. I was ready to party and eat! The food was delicious.We had roast beef, red skin pototaes, scalloped potatoes, salad, rolls, mixed veggies. My freind Michelle had her mom bring her Mcdonalds beacse she doesn't like roast beef...oh yea and she didn't eat at the reharsal beacsue she doesn't like spaghetti either. Hannah and James made their toast and I almost cried at Hannah's. I love that girl. James' was funny and touching, he is such a great guy...that Sunshine. ( he looks like sunshine from remeber the titans ) Hannah couldn't remember his real name so all night she called him sunshine! I smashed the cake in Jamie's face, it was pay back from when we did cake tasting and he shoved it in mine! It was nice really nice...lol. The cake was delicous to. It was time for the first dance and they started playing Bon Jovi "living on a prayer" so I started rocking out to it. They fixed it and we got the right song..which was Unchained Melody by the Rightoues Brothers....Jamie picked it out on his own. I then danced with my dad to Little miss magic by Jimmy Buffet and I danced with my Step Dad to He didnt have to be By Brad Paisley. Jamie danced with his grandma to Always on my mind by Elivs Presley. James caught the garter and my step sister Megan caught the bouqet....after she stole it from Michelle.
We danced the night away and had a great time! I really got down in my dress. My family knows how to party and we sure did that night. I was so exhuasted when it was time to go home that when we were leaving I said to my sister Danielle " please unhook my dress so I can breathe!" We went home to our apartment and opened all our money and rolled around in it..lol! The next day I woke up sad that I couldn't wear my dress again. We went and got James from the hotel and went out to breakfast, my parents came over and we opened gifts. Michelle took James to the airport..oh yea he is from Texas the first time I met him was Thrusday before the wedding. We then finished packing and left for the honeymoon. Which I will post about later
Now here are some more pictures of the wedding.
Well thats pretty much what happened...from what I can remember. I will post with a honeymoon recap and more pics, I need to post the ones from Key West...hopefully we will be there at the end of December.
peace

Here are just a few pics of the wedding.
In other news we have been busy painting the apartment and hanging pictures making it feel more like home. We are hoping that we can buy a house next summer. I am wanting to take a class for Physical Therapy aide and that way I can finish that and get a job at an office. Unless Jamie gets a 2 dollar or more raise next year, we won't be able to put a downpayment with the money I make at my job. We are hoping that we get some money from taxes and school that we would be able to put something down, but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. We are both going back to school in January so that will be nice, he is still not sure what he really wants to do but he probably will go into business or something. He is also thinking about something in the medical field he has till January to decide.
Well married life is great and I am sad the wedding is over but I have a wonderfull husband . I do miss my dress though..lol.
I am off to watch the wedding video now...as soon as my mom gets back.
Nicole Johnson...still so weird!

I can't beleive the wedding is a little over a week away! I am getting so nervous/excited/anxious! My bacherloertte party was fun. We went to howl at the moon, got a little intoxicated, had a great time and danced and sang at the top of our lungs. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza hotel downtown and it was nice, I was expecting more but we really just used it to crash in. My girls got me some lingerie(I have NO idea how to spell that!) for the honeymoon and it is all so cute. I can't wait for the wedding, this week is going to go by sooooo incredibly slow!
Well I need to look up our hotel information for Flordia. Have a great day everyone!

So many things are happening this month. Tommorow is my Bridal shower, and I am so excited! I can't believe it is actually here, the wedding is in 6 weeks and I can hardly wait! Then on Friday the 30th we move into our new apartment, the shower and moving timing it perfect. Jamie just started a new job, and after 30 days he will get a dollar raise, so that will be so helpfull with money. I also get my raise in August, and it probably won't be anything that great. But I guess any more amount of money is better than nothing, plus when we start school we will get financial aid. I am so nervous about the wedding, It's nothing to do with our realtionship it's just money issues and the fact that I can't believe I am actually getting married in a little over a month!
Well I have to go eat dinner

I never know how to start my entries...I usually sit and stare for a few moments and think about what I should say. Well anyways, last night my niece was born. Well actually this morning around 1:00 am. Her name is Ruby Elisabeth Loftus and she was 6lbs 10 oz, and I am not sure about her length. I can't wait to see her next week! I bet she is sooooo cute!
Jamie and I got our address for our new apartment, we move in July 7..so excited!
The wedding plans are coming together quite nicely. We ordered the ,invitations my dress is gettting altered on the 30th(well just getting a bustle actually), my Bridal shower is June25, then 3weeks after that is my bacherlotte party then 3 weeks after that is the wedding! That will be a nice 9 weeks. Jamie and his groomsmen, went and got fitted for thier tuxes, we picked the flowers and we are getting our engagement, pictures next week. We just need to pick and oder a cake, and i need to find a veil. I can't believe in 3 months, 3 weeks and 1 day I will be getting married! We bought a Disney World book that has coupons in it, and tips on the park...like where to eat, and which parks to vist on what days. WHOOHOOO!! I am such a dork, but I can't help it I am just so excited!
I wonder how many times I said excited in this entry!?
Jamie's friend TJ is hopefully moving back up to Indy soon, he is in the Army and is getting discharged for health reasons. I hope he comes back to Indy we miss him alot and he has Best Man duties that he needs to get done...lol. We told him he could move into the apartments we are moving into since he doesn't want to move back in with his mom. I would love if TJ lived near us, he is such a fun person, and a good cook...we would be over at his place all the time!
I can't wait for Easter. I love it, beacuse it means Spring is finally here. Everyone always looks so nice all dressed in their spring outfits. Jamie and I are wearing our Easter outfits in our engagement pictures. I hope my mom gets me some good candy for Easter, I am a candy freak! YUMM Chocalte bunnies...mmmmmmmm.
Well I better get going, I need to eat some lunch before I go to work.
Have nice day, and Happy Easter!

Well I finally have time to update. I can't believe this weather! It's Spring now and its freeeeeezing outside! I am so ready for some warm weather and sun! I am ready for Flordia! My mom and I met with the photographer today, and we decedied to have our enganment pics at garfield park in the sunken gardens, and I am so excited for that! I am going to get me a new outfit!
Jamie,me and my freind Amy and her boyfreind are going camping on April 7 and I am excited, we will have a great time. I love Amy she has become one of my best freinds over this past year. On April 20 I am going to be an Aunt, Jamie's sister is going to have a baby girl. She allready has a son, but Jamie and I startd dating when he wa 3 ...so this time I'll be there for everything. We are going to Lousiville April 20-22, it should be fun. Jamie wants to go to the Lousiville Slugger muesum, and I want to go to the aquriam so it will be a nice weekend. Speaking of babies, I just found out one of my freinds from highschool is going to have a baby in November and her and the dad broke up in January. She says they are working things out, but I just think that a baby will make it harder, and I also beilive that he was a jerk before and he still will be when they have a baby. I think there is something in the water that is making everyone have babies....not me though I have 4 more months until the wedding,and I sure don't want a baby yet! Being Aunt Nicole will suit me just fine.
We move into our new apartment on July 7, I am so excited. It has a big bay widow, lake view, fireplace and we have a laundry room and a washer and dryer! YEAAA Our own washer and dryer! I am so excited for that. It's the little things really that make me happy!
Well my mom and I are off to do wedding things.
Peace
Nicole

Well I had a good Valentines day. Jamie got me pink and white daisies, since I don't like roses...I mean i like them but I prefer daisies. He took me to dinner at the miliano inn, and I had the best spaghetti i have ever had in my life! He totattly suprised me with it. Then we rented Elizabeth town and 40 year old virigin. We watched Elizabeth town, and decided we are going to move there, since it looks like a cute little town! The whole time we were watching, we kept saying oh we have been there, and there , and there..lol. In other news I got my dress, it is now in my possesion...well its at my moms, and I can look at it, or touch it or put it on (lol) whenever I want! Just 5months, 2 weeks, and 3days left!! I am so excited I can't wait(does a little happy dance). We alos picked out our wedding rings, Jamie says it will be so weird to wear one, but he knows that he will wear it! I a\mhaving it engraved, saying "put it back on"...jk.
I might take a Physical Therapy Aide class in March at Med Tech college, hopefully if I do I can get a better job, Lord knows I need it beacuse we need to have more money. I am so tired of being poor.I can't wait to get my tax money! If anyone's job is hiring let me know, I need a part time one for a few months..just until my raise or until I am done with that class. So let me know.
I am having a baby shower in 2 weeks for Jamie's sister, which should be fun, and alot of work. I am going to be an Aunt! ( she allready has a kid, but I wasnt there for his birth so now I am really going to be an aunt.lol) I am so excited to meet my little niece!
well there is laundry to be done so i better get to it.

Well since I got a nudge from Bethandy to update I guess I better. I dont have internet at my aprtment so its hard to update.
Nothing to exciting has been going on in my life. Jamie and I are getting a new apartment in June, possibly a house to rent to buy deal. Jamie and I got a puggel his name is Charlie. Such a cutie, but so hyper! We are getting some new furniture from Jamie's freind who is in the navy. He is going to England so he has to get rid of his. We are getting a queen size sleigh bed, 2 new couches, Tv, 2 lamps, a coffe table, and a couch table, an entertainment center.. All for 1000, which is a really cheap and good deal. He is pretty much giving it away to us. Jamie started at his new job at BGI about a month ago and he likes it alot more than Dicks, except he worked yesterday from 945-830 and today he is working the same. So that sucks.We picked out our wedding rings , we are getting them from Fridemans. I am so excited to get them. Almost 6 months!! Wow, I can't wait. We reserved our rental car for our Honeymoon. ITs a 2006 Mustange Convertible, so exicted to ride in that. We are going to DisneyWorld for 6 days and Ft.Lauderdale for 3. We both have never been to Disney World, so we are very excited to go!
Well I have to get going ,the snow is falling and I might go play in it with my little sister.
There you go B!!!
love,nic

Well it has been awhile since I have made an update. So I will recap my birthday-now
My birthday was fun, we went to Julians to eat dinner than to 2 bars. Jamie went home though beacuse he had to be at work at 6 the next morning. So Michelle,Lauren and I went to BW3's and had fun. lauren got hit on by a crazy old man.
Jamie got me a printer for my camera, and a nice comfy robe for my birthday. My mom got me the boots I had been dying to get, and my dad got me money and the notebook. it was a good 21st birthday.
For Christmas Jamie and I stayed at my mom's house on Christmas Eve and we exchanged our gifts to each other that night. He got me a blanket and socks that match my robe, a new watch with 3 bands that you can change, some body wash, and re-chargeable batteries for my camera( what a nerd).I got him a new sweater, a simon gift card, Armani cologne set (that he has wanted forever!), and some new socks, beacsue I steal his all the time. We had a really good Christmas, we got over a 100 worth in Target gift cards. We got some money, new clothes and a nice new comforter. He got a tool set from my dad, and a car wash kit from my mom. I got a bunch of clothes , and the 10th season of Friends...which I have to say was one of my fave gifts! Christmas was fun, it just went by way to fast!
Then the day before New Years eve, we got a dog! We were getting gas, and he jumped in our car. So now we have a Puggel...named Charlie. I wanted a pugel so bad, but they are expensive, so it is funny that my dream dog just jumped in my lap. Yes we looked for his original owners, he didn't have any tags, or an internal tag. We left our name at the gas station and at the Vet, and noone has called us..so he is ours now!
For New Years we went to Jamie's grandparents house to have Christmas with them. We exchanged gifts, went out to eat. I fell asleep before midnight, but woke up at 1158, just in time. Then I went back to bed..yea it sucked it wasn't a fun New Years Eve at all, and I was old enough to drink this year and I didn't!
Jamie is starting a new job on the 23. He is going to work at BGI ( Bicycle Garage Indy) and he is really excited. Same pay, with a raise in 90 days, and a bonus at the end of every month. Better benefits and only 2 weekends a month ( if that). So he is really excited. I am to, beacuse he was getting so tired of Dicks(sporting gooods).
Well I'm not feeling so well. So I am goin gto get off of here. Happy New Year everyone!
Love Nicole

 Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
In April I got in line at the supermarket at the same time as someone else and I didn't yield (-8 points). Last week I pulled over and changed ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gazewithme's flat tire (15 points). Last month I helped muliebrity across the street (6 points). In October I caught a purse-snatcher who stole pixiesqueaker's purse (30 points). Last Saturday I didn't flush (-1 points).
Overall, I've been nice (42 points). For Christmas I deserve an Easy-Bake Oven!
Sincerely,
luvinjamie |
