\"gcal.png\"It is a funny thing \u00e2\u20ac\u201c packing, planning and scheduling \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it is weird how much a part of life it is\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6or my life, I should say. With a wedding, new house being built, vacation, honeymoon, moving, etc. Yeah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6if I make it through this year\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I will consider myself…uhh\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6prueba de la bala!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So here is how my last few months, weeks, and days have been.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"jacehat.jpg\"Jace and I got engaged. That was great, yes I thought about it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6long and hard. I think we are great together. We both know the adjustments to come, and have been down a road like this before. I know we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do fine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then with the engagement we found we needed to set a wedding date and plan a wedding. Jace was kind enough to allow me to influence her into having a very small and short wedding. None of the fancy dancy tuxes dresses, groomsmen, brides maids, flowers, invitations, pictures, etc. We opted for a dress casual, her house in Andrews, my parents and hers, and get the vows said, slap some rings on, kiss, and then eat and visit everyone.Because of passports, and other crap…we’ve decided to push the date of teh wedding way up…we’ll be getting married on May 26th…this year. Heck it is gonna happen…wo cares when – right? We’ll have a reception thingy in Lufkin, so everyone can come eat for free. LOL<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We decided we would take the kids to Sea World before we leave for our honeymoon. This way we can still have vacation with them. We are going to Jamaica with a couple friends for our honeymoon. A place called Couples Sans Souci (http:\/\/www.couples.com\/14cs\/40-TL-Award.htm<\/a><\/u><\/font>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It will be the one bedroom beachfront jacuzzi suite. Right on the beach. Our friends have been there for their honeymoon nearly 5 years ago and said it is very nice. They invited me to go last year when they started planning this\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6said I would need to take someone since it was a couples resort\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6little did I know I would have a wife then. Guess I messed up a heck of a pick up line huh? \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey babe\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6I need someone to go to Jamaica with me. How \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbout you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d LMAO<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All the while doing this, we have been getting her house ready to sale, put it on the market, going over plans for a house to build, then changing them a million times, picking out a lot in Lubbock, changing our minds again, pick out another lot,\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.Oh the joys! We will be picking out tile, granite, and colors next week. Her house was on the market about 4 days and is already under contract. So we’ve been really blessed there….or cursed if you think about all the packing and crap we’ll have to do. I think we have decided on hiring movers. Thank God.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sooo… we’ve been going through stuff at our houses now, getting rid of things we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want or need anymore. Packing what we can as we go along, to make the transition a little easier\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6we hope.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got the normal day to day stuff \u00e2\u20ac\u201c kids, work, and sleep. So yeah, this is my excuse as to why I might not be calling, blogging, or even remotely in contact with most of you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be taking pictures of the house as it comes together and the different stages of the process. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll make a movie of them all at the end \u00e2\u20ac\u201c once we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re moved in and half way settled. So, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t expect that real soon\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.just wait on the post to be made here about it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"house.jpg\"<\/a>I have put some plans and other pictures here for everyone to view. Let us know what you think…even though it is pretty much a done deal…LOL I don’t think either one of us (Jace or I) want to change another thing. The house will be 2972 sq. ft …and my future loving awesome wife is letting me continue my passion for music by letting me have the gameroom and a small bedroom on the upstairs. She freakin’ rocks! This is a rough hand drawn plan that we decided on 2972.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t wait until we are moved in and can sit down and enjoy a movie together, or invite some friends over for some grill and drinks. It will be nice to actually have a place where people can come over…the ghetto I live in now…is just too small and well…it is the ghetto.<\/p>\n

Also in all the spare time I had at night…I redesigned the blog a little bit. I got a new MacBook, which has a nice wide screen. I wanted to make my blog resize to fill it. So this is what I came up with for now. It still as few changes to be made. Also, Jace is starting to blog <\/a>now…Man it is great that she wants to be just like me. LMAO!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy, pray for us, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll keep ya posted!<\/p>\n

James<\/p>\n
