So, I finally got to talk to Ed about next weekend. The only problem in our way right now, according to him, is money. (I don't know if my mom has told my dad yet...I don't want to; he scares me when I want to ask if I can do things like this.) Assuming my dad says ok, we've just got to figure out how to pay for a plane ticket so I can actually get over there. Neither of us has much money (I've barely got $300), and if we're gonna get a ticket, the sooner the better since prices will go up tomorrow and the day after. I looked a little bit at tickets yesterday, they were around $300-$400...now there closer to $500. Ugh. I'm gonna have to talk to my mom about it. And my dad...

I talked to my mom this morning. I might actually get to go to Texas!!! *sings* I'm going to TX, I'm going to TX, I'm going to TX!*end*
I still need the details though, like the plane ticket! How much it costs if I have to help pay for the ticket, a ride to and from the airport, etc. But still. I'll get to see my fiance in TX next weekend! Yay!
I really couldn't be much happier. We went to Publix this morning while we were running around, and I stopped in the bakery departement to look at wedding cakes, just for fun. (Well, fun and for some ideas..) I found two that I just love!

1st One: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/lwelizabeth/wed_honeyhubbybear_lg.jpg

2nd One: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c311/lwelizabeth/wed_romance_lg.jpg

I think the first one would be really special though, since throughout our relationship we've almost always given the other a teddy bear for different occasions. The other one is really pretty though, and would serve more guests. We plan on a small wedding though, so that might not be a real big problem.

Anyone have an account on WhuddleWorld.com? I do (Lwelizabeth); it's a really addictive website even if it is kinda small and just starting. Anyways, check it out. You have like your own little character that you take shopping to buy clothes and food for, and...well, check it out, I dunno how to explain it. It's really fun though, trust me!

That's all I've got to say for now. *sings*Going to TX, Going to TX, Going to TX....

Well, apparently nothing special happened. It was just a meeting he went to where they reinstilled information they already knew. I lost four hours of sleep for that?!
Oh well. Can't do anything about it now. I did happen to catch Project Runway's latest episode on repeat though at 1:00 am. I missed the first 20 mins or so, but I got to see the designs each of the contestants made, so I was happy. I was a little confused though, Vincent and Angela were back on the show; I thought they'd been eliminated? Guess thats why you shouldn't miss the first twenty minutes..It's scheduled to come on again at 1 pm, so I'll watch it then and see what I missed.
Ed wants me to have a job before he leaves. Um, I may have one a little after he leaves, but in the next week, all I can do is apply at a few different places. I still haven't asked my parents about visiting him next weekend. I really want to, moreso than I did when he first brought it up. I should have a chance sometime tomorrow, so I'll try then. Pray that I can go! I know he's really depressed, and not very happy over there right now, and I'd love to change that even if it is only for the weekend.
I finally heard from Esther. She's going to Chile! It sounds like she's still really happy, and excited about going to another country. Pray for her, she's also going to be without her translator. She's learned a ton of Spanish now she's been in Argentina for a few months, but still. I'm really excited for her too. I don't think I have anything else I want to write about right now, so this post ends here.

It's 3:31 am, and I cannot sleep. I've been up for a few hours now though, and I think I'm gonna at least try and rest some. It's not like I have to be up early for anything, so I can sleep later if I need to I guess. I missed a call from Edward last night, I had drifted off to sleep by the time he called. He left a message saying he loved me, to have a good night and sweet dreams and all that. I've been saving his voicemails lately because I know I'm going to miss the sound of his voice while he's away, and this way I'll still be able to hear it. He also said he's tell me about what happened when he calls again. Something happened? I wanna know if its good or bad. I've tried decoding his tone in the message to sense whether it's good or bad, but I can't. It could be either way. I hope it's good. I know he was feeling kinda depressed yesterday, and good news would've cheered him up. But I don't know what happened yet. I hope it was a good thing, I really do. Maybe he doesn't have to stay in Iraq as long as he thought he would! There's an idea. I don't know. I'm going to bed; I'll post more later.

I went to the doctor's yesterday. She ordered, like, 10 different blood tests because she wants to rule out the possibility of me having POS. (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). That sounds like so much fun! Not. And this morning, I got to visit the dentist. It wasn't so bad, and it's over with now. I don't got to worry about going to the dentist again until the end of March!
We did a lot of running around yesterday after my doctors appointment; my mom had an eye doctor appointment in Orlando, and then we stopped at Wal Mart. All of the driving around gave me plenty of time to read my textbook for class, so I'm pretty much all caught up there. While we were at Wal Mart, I picked up Justin Timberlake's new album, Futuresex/Lovesounds. It's not a bad album. But the track entitled 'What Goes Around'--I think it's about Britney...listen to it and decide for yourself. (Go to Napster or something legal, I won't be putting it on here illegally.) Or you can just view the lyrics here..
In other news, I talked to my fiance again last night. He asked if I wanted to go visit him in Texas next weekend before he leaves for Iraq. Hello! Of course, I want to. Whether or not I'd be able to is what I don't know. I'm going to talk to my mom about it soon, but I'm a little scared. Isn't always scary to ask your parents if you can do something very grown-up, like fly halfway across the country by yourself to visit a boyfriend/fiance? I don't think I'm alone on this one here.
We've still got some wedding details I want to have worked out before he leaves too. I know we've talked a little bit about some of the plans, but I don't think there's really anything definite yet. I'd like to set a date (my main priority), choose a definitive color scheme, etc. If I get to visit him in Texas, I think I'll have more of a chance to get those things decided.
Oh, and about the cd mix I want to give him. I have decided on a few songs, I just don't know what order I want to place the tracks. Each song has some sort of special meaning to us and our relationship, and I want it to be like a timeline of our love, but I can't think of a way to put it together and still have it flow the way a cd should. He's supposed to give me a list of some of his favorite songs, so that may help if I need to bridge some tracks together and make it flow. Does that make any sense? I think it does, but I'm gonna end this entry here since it's getting kinda long and I tend to ramble with the more I write.

I think I have cold feet, but I'm not really sure. I don't really know what it means to have cold feet. I mean, I'm panicking over what I know are tiny little things that I shouldn't worry about. But I keep worrying about them, and wondering how we'll be able to compromise a solution. I'm also dreaming of the honeymoon. I don't know where we'll go on our honeymoon, but I do know that I want it to be awesome. I think that's partly why I'd prefer a smaller, more intimate wedding. We could spend less money on the actual wedding ceremony, and more on the honeymoon.
