OH MY! we had our house inspection today (or atleast what we could) and we discovered thereis major leaking inthe plumbing under the house. so much so that thye coudl not even check the well and septic system because there was not enough water pressure to fill them. we sat and talked about it for a while and decided that if we felt like we just had to have this house we woudl spend the money on the plumbing and many other issues that need to be fixed however we do tno feel that it is really worth it.
As it stands now we are going to back and square one and will be looking at other houses.
Wish us luck!

A Tricky Time
I know I have written in a while however there has been a lot going on... let me update you....
Sickness: I went to the Doctor and had blood drawn because I was so tired all the time. They found out that my blood pressure is very high and that my white blood cell counts were up, so they put me on antibiotics. and after that I went and got more blood drawn and they were still elevated so... they said to wait and come back in so again a week later (after already feeling like a human pin cushion) I got them redrawn and they were very high again so they knew there was an infection some where but they did not know where. In the mean time she put me on a water pill and potassium to help my blood pressure. Now those of you that know my family know that we have weak bladders as it is (Shawna is the worst) but let me tell you I have never in my life peed as much as I am now! So anyway they took a chest X-ray and did a urine culture and come to find out I have a extreme urinary and bladder infection. which I had no signs of except for a sore back. So now I am taking 4 pills every morning but I can feel my energy picking up and wanting to actually do things instead of just wanting to go lay down every night after I get home. I have to go back 2 weeks after I finish the antibiotics and give more blood to keep if that took care of the problem.
House: OK so here is what is happening with our new home. We had to put 1000.00 down as earnet money (I think that is what it is called) but we were told we would be getting it back, So we did not have that much saved so we took it out of our wedding fund. I figured that since we would be getting it back in early October that would be fine. Well now the mortgage company tells us that we did not qualify for the 100.00 dollars down program so that 1000 that we gave we will not be getting back but instead it will be used toward the closing costs!!!! WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE 1000.00 SHORT FOR THE WEDDING! So please pray that we can squeeze the money out some where. It is not like we are a couple that spends a lot of money. We are I think very financially responsible we have no credit cards and we are trying to keep it that way until we get our loans paid off. But now I do not know what the heck we are going to do. Prayer would be VERY helpful!
Wedding: So I took an early afternoon on Monday and I hit the jackpot. I love meijer in DeWitt. I found my shoes, the bridesmaid earrings and the present for Sophia. I have everything done for my girls now if we were as lucky for the men. we ordered our cake and it was so good we had a hard time picking. we decided to go with Cherry chunk, Pumpkin and vanilla (for those unadventurous people)
So that is where every thing stands! Sorry it took so long to get a post up but I hope you understand why now.

Cow Bell Hell
So here is where everything stands.
I am looking for small cowbells rather then the regular bells for the reception. I think it woudl be cute because of Joels work! Well there is not suck thing as a cheap cowbell these days! LOL You would think that I was asking for something in
14K gold!
The brides maids dresses came in and they are better then I expected. I love the color and they have really looked nice on everyone that I have seen them on.
The flowers are being done. My best friend Monica's mom is doing them for us. She is doing a great job I love when has been done. I am not going to post pictures because I want people to be surprised.
The groomsmen are finally getting in and get their measurements. This has been very frustrating because Joel has not done his either. so you can be my guest when you see him to remind him over and over until it gets done.
I am STILL looking for wedding shoes and brides maid jewelry. I do not think that I can do gold now because after seeing the dress I think gold jewelry will not look ok so I am thinking pearls.
I am everyday being reminded how much I love Joel. I have been pretty sick lately (going to the Dr. today to find out why) and he has been so sweet. I am totally stressed out and tired ALL the time and have been getting bad headaches and he woke up early this morning and rubbed my back and to try and help my cramping I am getting in it. Do not get me wrong we have our moments, Most of which are my fault, but we get through them and love each other just as much as we did before. I am amazed at how much I am learning about the "idea of love" I had created all these years of being single, and what real love truly is. And all though the picture "perfect" ideal of love may look better from the out side. The real love feels better then I ever thought it could.

Pictures!
Ok so if you want to see a few of our engagement pictures then you can go to Linettecrosby.com and click on Joel and Elissa. These are a few of our pictures. There are more however I wanted to see them so bad that linette was kind enough to work really hard and get these out for me. Now I am not sure how we are going to go about getting them for family to pick though but I know there will be a way. It might just take a bit of time.
