Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Since I haven't updated any of my journals in a looonnnngggg time. I'm going to type you all up a gigantic update! Yeah for me! Let's see what I can come up with here...

Valentines Day I got proposed to again by Dave, since we now have a different diamond, since the other one kept falling apart. I told him, since it's a new ring, he has to do it again. So we went to a hotel in DuBois since he had a great package deal for us, and we stayed there the night. We had a great dinner at the bar area, but I started to not feel good. We went back to our room and chilled. Later that night, while I was resting, he asked me to be his wife ^_^ I said yes again, of course! I don't remember much of the time between then, and the time I ran to the bathroom to throw up. Apparently I caught the same bug Kris had just had, so I was totally sick the rest of the night! Dave even went to the store to buy me medicine. What a sweetheart! In the end I ended up getting him and my dad sick >_<

Also sometime in February, I got a job at DuBois Regional Medical Center. I work in the ER as a unit secretary. Fun times there. I'm only part time right now, but I have been getting enough hours to pay for rent and all my bills. It's not a bad job either. A bit hectic, but then again it's the emergency room. The name says it all, don't you think?

July 14 was a fun day I remember next. The day before my wedding. I remember sitting at my mom's house, and her getting impatient because the rest of the people that were going to drive with us was not there. Julie and Erika were the first to arrive. Followed by my husband to be, then groomsmen Brad, and finally Jessie and Kris. (by this time mom, dad, and val had left) So Jess got in the car with me, Kris with Dave and Brad took his truck to haul the beer. We soon headed off to New Bethlehem, and found out I forgot where the hell I was going. Good thing I at least knew where the hell I was, and stopped to get directions from Bruce, a friend of mine and Dave's. So I'm rushing to get to the campground, cause I was going to be late for my own rehersal dinner. Way to go, Steph :3 lol. But we made it in good time. Did the fun rehersal thing, ate, and decorated till it was time to head to the hotel. So then what happend to us... I had no freakin' clue where this damn hotel in Kittaning was. We had to stop and get directions from a gas station. lol. But we made it in one piece, checked in, and snuck in some people in my room. We were only allowed to have like 2 people, but I had five >_< lol. Me, Erika, Julie, Jess, and Kris. We ate cake, drank some watermelon puckers, and watched really bad porn that Dave had in the car.

Next day was my wedding day. It was raining outside in the morning, so that kind of sucked, but it stopped when we got to where we needed to be. Good thing too cause the entire wedding and reception was outside! I chilled most of the morning, ate hoagies for lunch and got ready. It was a lovely ceremony. All went well. I couldn't get the stupid unity candle to light though. I think all my bridesmaids cried. I know I heard Val behind me for a second, and poor Julie lost it pretty much. But the party was fun. We took lots of pictures before we ate. Good thing we had little things to nibble on while we did pictures. Every one loved my dad's meatballs! lol We had lots of good food. Walmart chicken, potato and macaroni salad, buns, baked beans, chips, punch, and alcohol! he he... We danced and had loads of fun! After all the adults left, we stayed up most of the night, and a few of us stayed and played beer pong, with my special purple beer cups ^_^ lol

Dave and I are now really looking forward to having a family of our own. I just went to a GYN in Sept and she put me on 3 monthes of birth control to regulate me, so I can become pregnant. After all, it helps to have the sperm in the right place at the right time. ^_^

So lately I've just been working, spending time with Dave and playing on Gaia Online.

My lastest fun adventure was this Friday, when Julie and I took a random mall trip out to Pittsburgh Mills. That was fun. ^_^ We got a lot of shopping done, and spent some time with an interesting Isareli women who sold us great beauty items. Makes your skin, oh so soft ^_^

Life isn't all bliss though. Recently Dave had his Harley repoed, and now my freakin' car. I'm so mad at him for not paying on it cause now I don't know how I'm getting to work. I'd like to know why he didn't send the payments in. I pay all my bills, why can't he? Men... but I do love him with all my heart, so my love life is great.

We recently got a new puppy. Her name is Angel Maureen and she's a shepard chow mix. She's gotten so big, since we've gotten her. Angel and my cat, Salem, get along great. Which is a good thing cause come Thanksgiving we are bringing home a kittten from Jessie's house. Her name is Tish, named after the character from Devil May Cry. ^_^ She's so cute, but Jess said she's a handfull. That's ok, both my children already are.

So come January we'll be looking for a new home if all goes well with the baby situation. Our lease for this home ends in July so it all works out. I dont' think we'll be able to buy a home just yet, but one more room would be helpful for the new baby. Right now we have a little one bedroom house. It's nice for the two of us, and if needed I could set up a crib in the loft right outside my bedroom door, but we hope for baby to have his/her own room.

We have decided on a few baby names already. For a girl we have Buffy Anne and Velvet Shay. And for boys we have Alexander James and Jonathan Brandon(?) still debated on Jonathan's middle name. My dad actually picked out that name. He kept calling the baby Jonathan, cause his middle name is John. My mom keeps telling him it's "AJ" but he just smiles and says "Jonathan" so if we have two boys, we are going to name the second boy Jonathan. ^_^

Most people already know this, but I'm a god mother ^_^ Jessie and Kris had their first baby May 12, 2005. Her name is Kathleen Anna Rebo, and she's such a cutie! She's gotten so big now. You'll all have to check out her profiles to see all kinds of pics of her!

If any of you have seen my myspace journal you would have seen a entry about "my nephew Aidan" What a fun story there! My BFFL was dating this girl, who I will be nice and not say her name here, had been somewhat dating for awhile. Well this girl apparently told Julie that she was raped and was now preganant. Later on, down this story line, this girl gave birth to this baby boy, Aiden James on April 15, 2006, weighing 18 ounces, 13'' long, born 4 months premature. She sent us picures and I sent down a baby blanket and a card for her. Then little by little, story's she told to Julie didn't add up quite right. So one night working night shift, we had no patients, so I got on Google image search and looked up "premature babies" Well, right there on the FIRST PAGE, was a pic of "Aiden". Well there was our answer. This girl flat out lied to us about the whole damn thing. Julie wasn't too upset about it thank god. She too knew something wasn't right. So they broke up and now Julie has a new girl, who's name I'm also withholding right now cause the ex doesn't know who the new gf is, and I won't spoil it for Jules. I think it will be fun when they tell the ex. *giggles* The ex does know Julie has a new gf, but still continues to call. Stalker... lol

*stares at the computer screen* Anthing else....

Oh! On Gaia Online, April 21, 2006, me and Jessie got married in a small private ceremony ^_^ lol. There are "honeymoon" pics so check them out on my Gaia Journal!

Holy cows! I told you about my wedding but not a thing about my honeymoon! Dave and I drove down to Mobile, AL to catch our cruise ship, the Holiday, a ship of the Carnivale cruise line. What a big ship it was! It was just so fantastic! I can't wait to show you all pictures of it! We sailed from Mobile to Cozumel, Mexico. While docked there, Dave and I went on a Dolphin Swim and Snorkle adventure, and got to ride a real honest to god dolphin! Her name was Ixchel, and of course I got pictures of her with my underwater camera ^_^ We went shopping around Cozumel, and got back on the boat many hours later when it was leaving. After that sometime, we got to go on stage at the Americana Lounge, for the "Newlywed Not So Newlywed" game. Dave and I were just recently married, Then a couple for 15 years, then a couple who were married 50+ years I believe. That was a fun time ^_^ The older couple won, but we did get a bottle of champagne though ^_^ I think we should have gotten the dvd of the events on the ship, cause apparently it was tapped ^_^ lol. After that everyone was like "Congratulations on getting married. We saw you on the tv" cause they play all the events on the tv's in the rooms. So everyone saw the funess. lol In any case we hope to to it again soon!

My sister recently graduated from IUP Punxsy Acedemy of Culinary Arts and now is doing her internship at Penn State. SHe gets to cook for all those people in the boxes at the games, at the fancy inn there in State College, and even for the college students. She even got to do a special dinner for the football players!

Well, I've probably bored you to tears by now. ^_^ I think I told you just about everything that has happened to me this year! Love you all, and I'll keep you updated more later!


Blessed Be, Stephanie Held ^___^
