wow did i really do it

I officially changed my name, only because i got married though. I am now Mrs. Erin Neiswonger-Ritenour. Wow thats a mouth full. The wedding i think went well all, and all. my brother came and brought me some things from my child hood so like a sobbing baby I sat in front all my guests and opened his presents. If i must say i looked fablous in my wedding dress.

wedding preps

this is a picture of my engagement ring for those of you who have not had a chance to see it it does more justice upon my hand but figured id show you what i could.


i take every Thursday and Monday as time gets closer to it to plan my wedding. its getting frustrating trying to find Halloween stuff thank fully now lots of places are putting stuff out now wasn't so easy when i made the invitations. hence the reason for handmade invitations. you would be shocked at how many people get married on Halloween when i was calling around for halls to get married in five of the ten i called had weddings already for that day never new that the most morbid holiday was the one people wanted to get married on or maybe they just have the love for Halloween that me and Robert do.





Kimmy is doing good other than having a very nasty burn upon her shoulder i was trying to get her over her fear of sparklers and well i messed up she dropped it on her self and got a very nasty burn were treating it and i hope it does not scar her. she seems to be acting okay but it still bothers me.





Amanda started first grade and is doing very well her teacher is Mrs Cusic and she has 2 other teachers in her room. i don't like the schools here wish we were in buffalo for schooling but i love living in West Virginia the schools here at least for elementary are kind like very big rooms divided by dividers into four or five classrooms no privacy in the classes a all you hear everything that is going on in the next room kinda sucks if you think about it but that's the way they do them and they don't believe on making bigger schools when they have to many student they just put trailers behind the schools and call them class rooms how ghetto is that makes me really miss the schools in buffalo like they say tho buffalo is the best place to get an education but the worst place to get a job





me and Robert are looking forward to see all of you who read this come October those of you that are not planning on attending i understand it is a distance to travel so I'm not pressing the issue as of now only 23 have RSVP 'ed I'm not sure what that means but it looks like a very small wedding more beer for me lol j/k i sent out 115 invitations not including me wedding party and i have of 115 23 people attending wow thought there might be a little bit more than that but it will be a joyous day for us so I'm not stressing





any who I'm gonna get off this computer and go do a activity with Amanda while Kimmy is napping have to talk to you all some other time to fill you in upon my life

bye bye kc

kc was clamied so we are now down to one dog avalance just letting you know

along came kc

two days ago we had a pouring down rain i was standing outside me friends heather's and along came k.c. she is a Jack Russel terrier very small dog she was wet cold untagged and no collar she came over to me and started to lick me i immediately fell in love i tried to find where she might have come from she was very skinny and very dirty i finally said shes going home with me we brought her home to see how Abby would get along with her they got along great i gave her a bath food and water and let the dogs play I'm keeping my eyes out to see if anyone puts an add out saying that shes being missed if nothing comes up after thirty days i can legally say she is mine the kids love both dogs Amanda get along better with the small one were Kimmy love the big one kinda funny Abby is well trained and not hyper where as k. c. is hyper when she wants to be
i know everyone thinks that I'm taking on to much with two dogs two kids but i need something to fill me time when I'm not planning my wedding and the kids are sleeping. they keep me company when I'm all alone anyways ill write more later

dog

i had to put runt down she decided that biting Amanda was okay and i couldn't have a dog that decided to bite hard enough that my child needed stitches was not a safe dog to have. even tho this was a hard decision and i miss her i know it had to be done i didn't want her biting again. we waited a week and hen went to the human society to see what they had available i missed the companionship and the woman gave me a dog she thought would do nicely in my house well it didn't he was seven years old with BAD separation anxiety i took the dog back after two days of having him and told them the situation she had one more dog for me a her house and this is how we now come to have Abby she is a two year old well trained fixed American bull dog she is all white with brindle ears and she loves children so we shall see how this goes shes getting used to us as we are her ill let you know how everything is going with her more

on another note terrible twos has struck early Kimmy is a hand full she is driving me nuts i cant keep up with her the fits the getting into everything its driving me nuts Amanda keeps telling me cause of how bad Kimmy is Right now she never wants kids i laugh she is to young to even think about that

life is busy trying to plan a wedding i find that anymore we are broke never knew how expensive weddings were and to top it off were trying to do it on our own and no ask for help but its coming down to almost impossible any way guess ill write later
