Hooray! I'm finally Married! [05 Jul 2009|10:24am] [ mood | tired ] Hello Livejournal!! Oh how I missed you! No one goes on LJ anymore. It made me really sad :( Well, since the last time I updated, I've gotten married and gone on the honeymoon, YAY! We went to Walt Disneyworld in Florida and it was awesome!

[07 Jun 2009|01:27pm] [ mood | numb ] Please pray for us...On top of everything else going on..... Well, my little baby girl Rosie is staying overnight at a hospital 30 minutes away. She became very ill with diarrhea and vomiting. Apparently she has an intestinal condition/pancreatitis. Caused by diet, stress of moving ETC. I had two choices while at the Emergency Vet: 1) Sign the paper that says I will pay off up to $2,900 in medical bills over the next 12 months. or 2) Sign the paper to have Rosie put to Sleep I signed the first one. Now, IF Rosie responds to treatment and gets better after being in the hospital, we can take her home and start paying off the huge medical bill. I fear that when she gets out, this new apartment living situation is just too stressful for her, and she will have to spend the rest of her life living at my parent's house. So I will still be giving every penny I have to pay for what it cost to save her life, and I wont even get to see her everyday. Also, she could NOT respond to treatment and pass away. Then I would lose my child, but still have to pay all the medical bills. I'm sad, numb....stressed. I'm getting married next weekend and it's supposed to be the happiest time of my life!! But... +I just moved to a new town into my first apartment, by myself... + I'm starting a new job +I have a TON of bills to pay +My fiance isn't even sure if he will have a job +My dog is very sick and her medical bills will cost us thousands I don't know how Dan and I are going to survive. And I can't even imagine living without my little Rosie. It seems I will have to do that one way or another... THOUGHTS, PRAYERS ADVICE AND COMMENTS ARE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED. ♥ Used the Force

New life in Long Beach [01 Jun 2009|10:15am] [ mood | hopeful ] Well, things seem to be going pretty good. We still don't have the Gas turned on! No hot showers or cooking on the stove. It's been really hard! They're suppose to come tomorrow and turn on the gas. Finally I can take a shower! Dan's truck broke down yesterday on his way home to Simi Valley. He didn't get very far! He had to buy all the parts to fix it himself, then he stayed here one more night. Daniel just left this morning because he has to go to work in Simi Valley.....now he's gonna sit in traffic on the 405 and be hours late to work! Dan hasn't gotten a transfer to a Long Beach Lowes yet. So he has to stay in Simi Valley until the wedding. Other than that, things are okay I guess. I'm gonna be very lonely this week. It's just me, my little dog Rosie, and my two parakeets. Dan and I have never been away from eachother! The only time we've ever been seperated was when he went on that trip with his dad for 3 days. Also, I've never lived alone without Daniel or anyone else for more than like.....12 hours. I'm a little worried, but I think I'll be okay. Dan can't come down here until next Monday. But Rosie and I might go up to Simi Valley on Friday. My family came down here on Saturday and helped us move in. I'm pretty settled in, but we still need a lot of things, and hopefully we'll get them for our wedding. Rosie has been a little bit of a problem. She's never lived in an apartment before. She doesn't like being left alone here for some reason. She knocked over one baby gate, chewed through the other, and destroyed the blinds on the front door trying to get out!! Yesterday we got a really exspensive metal baby gate that she can't get through!! I hope she doesn't freak out too much when I leave today. She's doing much better now, getting used to everything here. I transferred to a Petsmart Grooming Salon down here. I don't start working until Wed. I hope it goes well, and I get more hours. Also, I hope Rosie will be okay by herself all day. Well, pray that everything goes well!! Come visit me! call, email or text! (805) 501-2247 natveggie77@yahoo.com ♥ Used the Force

HAPPY ROTS DAY! May 19, 2005 [19 May 2009|07:08am] [ mood | Kinda sick...but happy ] GOOD NEWS! We got our first apartment and we're moving in next weekend! Also, my Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party was on Saturday. Daniel was out with the boys having his bachelor party. We both had lots of fun! Today is the 4th anniversary of Star Wars Episode III Revenge of The Sith! Where were you on May 19, 2005? I was in the movie theater at 12:00AM dressed as Princess Leia!! I can't believe it's been 4 years already....my goodness. I'm watching it right now. *sigh* I have lots of pictures from the Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party AND the new apartment!!

Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you! [04 May 2009|02:03pm] [ mood | worried ] 47 days till the wedding!! :0 I'm very worried. I'm so depressed. Life was going great until about 2 weeks ago when I got the Flu. Everything's been going down hill since then. I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed. It was awful!! I have no health insurance, but luckily my parents lent me $120 to go to the doctor. It took me a week to get better, and I still feel kind of sick! I missed a bunch of work and now my salon manager decided she hates me. My job as a dog bather has been going great, except now every is annoyed with me and my hours were severly cut! I went from 35 hours to  less than 17 hours! They're really crappy hours too, I'm closing all the time and I'm not even the new girl anymore!!!! It sucks, I hate my schedule and I'm so broke! Dan and I are getting married on June 20th, and it's coming up fast! We aren't ready yet..................We still need to get a marriage license, but I can't afford the $100 fee. I was planning on moving to Long Beach right about now. But we aren't prepared! I'm very worried about Daniel and I transferring our jobs to branches down in Long Beach, so far... NOTHING.  I still have to talk to my store manager and try to find an opening somewhere, but yesterday we went down there to look for apartments and I visited one of the Petsmarts down there, and they said they didn't have any openings. We're looking for a place to live, and that's not going so well either. I need to find one we can afford, in a good area, that also takes pets. We had a bunch of money in the savings for the apartment, but we had to keep borrowing money out of it just to pay for everyday things! My paychecks now are so terrible, we'll never qualify for an apartment! I want to transfer sooo bad, but there's no jobs in Long Beach! I guess I'm going to have to abandon my goal of being a dog groomer and get a job as a freaking waitress or something just so I can survive! I'm starting to wish we didn't have to move to Long Beach. But Daniel is starting school to be an auto mechanic in August down there to and he can't drive in rush hour traffic 5 days a week all the way there and back! My bridal shower and Bachelorette party is nex Saturday. I'm not even excited. We're getting married and going on a fabulous honeymoon by the grace of our parents. But we have no jobs down there, no place to live and no money. I can't even fit into my own wedding dress!!! I've gained 10 pounds from being so stressed out, I can't zip the dress up even half way!! Now I'm too tired and sick to go to the Gym.  I hate money, I feel like it's the only thing that will solve our problems. I've been playing the lottery too much lately, hoping for a miracle..... but we did win $11. I hope I don't develop a gambling problem. Well, in other news today is International Star Wars Day! MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! I made a cake to celebrate.....and I wore a Princess Leia shirt. It still doesn't feel like a holiday though.............. Lord help us. 1 People ♥ Used the Force

Palm Sunday [05 Apr 2009|08:26pm] [ mood | anxious ] Happy Palm Sunday! I need to post more! Well, last Tuesday, I GOT A NEW CAR! MY DREAM CAR! YAY!! Anyone that knows me, knows that I have wanted a Dark Red Toyota Prius, with tinted windows for years! I never thought it would really happen, but, it did! It's amazing and it's a hybrid! Everything's all electronic and weird. Daniel and I went down to a Toyota Dealership in Buena Park and got a beautiful dark red 2005 Prius! We got really lucky, got a good deal and some financing and signed our lives away to drive home in my dream car! YAY! My current license plate reads: "Bride to be" I'm gonna get a red Star Wars Rebel Symbol to put on the back window. +Other than that, things are CRAZY! We're still planning our move to Long Beach. I've been looking online for apartments, but we can't start  applying for a few more weeks.  We're looking for places in this cool artsy neighborhood called Belmont Shore. I'm so excited! It would be awesome to live in a cute little apartment right on the coastline in a place with lots of cafes and shops and stuff. I'm gonna try to transfer (to another Petsmart Grooming Salon) in Long Beach sometime soon. Me and my little dog Rosie will probably  move down there first....sometime around the middle of May to the middle of June. I'm not sure yet. Dan probably wont get a transfer as early, so we'll be seperated for a little while. At least I have a Prius now! There will be a lot driving from Long Beach and back! Wedding plans are going great! It's getting closer! I still have stuff I need to do!! I need to send out our wedding invitations. I have them all assembled, I just need a lot of pretty stamps. Also, we're having a Garage Sale in a couple weeks to raise money for our apartment and all our other newlywed stuff! 1 People ♥ Used the Force

95 days till the wedding!! [16 Mar 2009|10:48pm] [ mood | tired ] [ music | Futurama Music ] I am sooo tired! Work was pretty chill today. I had to take Vinny to school this morning. My sister, Marc and Vinny are living here while we wait for escro to close on their new house! It's crazy having such a full house, it's kinda fun though. WEDDING NEWS: It just occured to me a moment ago that the wedding is less than 100 days away!! AHH! I kinda had a mini freak out.... I've gotten A LOT done already, so I guess it's okay. I'm gonna go shopping tomorrow for candles and some stuff for the favours. We need to go to the Gym! I need to lose weight in the next two weeks so I can fit into my wedding dress and I can get the alterations. We picked out the Tuxedos! It's awesome, a total 'Bond' look. We need to get the men in Dan's family down the Tux shop to be fitted. WORK: It's really busy on the weekends, but very calm and kinda fun during the week. I had Red Robin and Jamba Juice for lunch today because I didn't have time to pack a lunch because I had to take Vinny to Preschool. It was a little stressful over the weekend. We were pretty busy. It's a very difficult job! There's dogs barking and there's hair all over the place and I have to try to control these huge hairy dogs, hold them up while trying to dry them with a high velocity dryer!! I'm also answering phones and checking people in. It can get a little interesting..... Like yesterday, we had 5 Cavaliers going home, and one of them was bleeding all over the place because the stupid person that did them quicked her nail and just left it for hours!! Well, I have tomorrow off!! I'm going to enjoy it! I have some errands and stuff to do as always.... MOVING TO LONG BEACH: Only 95 days till the wedding! Crap!! I have to talk to Louie about getting into the Grooming Academy and transferring to Long Beach. I can't believe we're moving away!  I also need to get rid of my car and get a Prius by this summer...it would help a lot! I've been looking at apartments and I actually found a lot. There are a few that will be available around then. I really hope we can make it work financially, we need to save up even more! I think we're gonna have a garage sale soon to get rid of some crap and raise some money! Anyway, it's late and Dan will be here soon. We're both feeling kind of sick, it seems like everyone is sick right now! Well, goodnight...   1 People ♥ Used the Force

You and I will be reborn in a future place and time... [25 Feb 2009|04:14pm] [ mood | crazy ] Random thought: I can't believe I've had this LJ since 2004! That would explain my stupid username. Also, I haven't been updating enough lately. Probably because I've been so busy, I don't know what to do! I have a new job! I'm a Bather/Brusher at the Petsmart Grooming Salon! I love it, but it's soooo much harder than I thought! It's dirty and very physical. The first two days were really tough, but now I'm getting used to it! I'm working all the time now! It's crazy! I have scratch marks all over my arm from a chiuaua and I spent an hour combing out a poodle for some crazy lady that didn't even tip us!! HOORAY! I HAVE THE DAY OFF! I've spent it sleeping, shopping and watching the new and final Futurama movie! Futurama has been slowly climbing up my list of obessions for a while now, and it's reached the top! Slightly below Star Wars of course! It's haunting me in my dreams. I waited months to see the final movie and it came out yesterday. Last night Dan and I watched it, and it was amazing! There better be more Futurama! IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS! AHHH! I also have a new LJ icon from the best part of the whole film..spoilers anyone? hehe. So, basically for the past two weeks my life has been WORK+FUTURAMA. I'm either watching it, reading the message boards, or listening to the soundtracks, or singing the songs from the soundtrack while I'm at work! *sigh* I'm pathetic. Anyway, I'm gonna make dinner  that we can enjoy when Daniel gets home from work. Life is changing and flying by very quickly. It's a thrilling, scary, yet entertaining and fun Rollercoaster. ♥ Used the Force

[15 Feb 2009|04:11pm] I am very concerned that  lumy12  has not posted in a few weeks! :( </span></strong>Anyway, life is crazy. Things are changing! I'm offically starting my new job this week, if I actually passed the saftey exams! UGH! They were so much harder than I thought! I'm going to be working a lot! Almost full time, and it's going to be crazy! Hopefully Dan and I can find time to go to the gym! Right now I'm probably most excited about the new/final Futurama movie coming out next Tuesday! EEH! I never thought it was possible I could love something almost as much as I love Star Wars, but I think it's gotten to that point. haha. WOW. I am pathetic.   Well, I have to babysit for another family tonight. It should be fun.... <3 august_baby27 3 People ♥ Used the Force

Life is moving on... [29 Jan 2009|09:32pm] [ mood | hopeful ] Well, things are going well. I'm really nervous about some stuff but I'll keep praying. NATALIE GOT THE GROOMING JOB! I'm starting at the Petsmart Grooming Salon as a bather for the next two months, and April 1st, (or earlier if I prove myself even more ready) I will start the "Petsmart Grooming Academy" It's their very own grooming school/program. You don't have to pay for the "schooling" they pay you to do it and work for them at the same time!!  The program takes 3 months. When I'm done, around the end of June when we get married, I'll be a certified groomer, making lots of money!! Full time, Good hourly pay, benefits, 50% commissionon and tips! They have a 2 year contract to stay with Petsmart, because they invest so much in you. I REALLY, REALLY HOPE THEY LET ME TRANSFER TO LONG BEACH! We're moving there when we get married! THE BOTTOM LINE: Daniel and I will both be making a lot more in July, right after we get married than what we will be making in May when we start applying for Apartments!! A difference of a few thousand dollars in monthly income! Because in July, I will be a full time Groomer, and Dan will have gotten his promotion when he moves to the Long Beach store. I fear we will not get approved for an apartment, until after we get married, when we need to start looking a month before we get married. UNLESS: When a potential renter checks our monthly income, they calculate our total BEFORE taxes and deductions, then I know we will get approved. Because after all the deductions from our paycheck, our monthly 'take home' income is a lot less. So, my questions are: +Do they consider your monthly income as it is before or after taxes? +Any advice? Please pray that I can do well with my new job and get into the grooming academy very quickly. Also, pray that Daniel and I can transfer from our jobs in Simi Valley to the Petsmart and Lowes branches in Long Beach!  2 People ♥ Used the Force
