Weekend Craziness

For the most part this weekend was AMAZING...which is kind of crazy!
Lan started his night shift job and it was pretty ok! Friday night was pretty boring but I was able to be accompanied by Anna, Kelly, and the crazies! We made the birthday cake for paul's 30 birthday and Anna was nice enough to make an extra for that night. I think I ate the entire cookie cake myself.
The next morning around 8 am I was sleeping and cuddled with a pillow to fill the hole of Lan. Then he gently came in and replaced the pillow. I missed him so much and he missed me the same, we talked and cuddled until he finally fell asleep. I realized as I was laying there how much I am truly in love with Lan Moody, my fiance. It's crazy to me how we can get so caught up in the world and the things going on around us we forget to stop and breath. But on this particular saturday morning I decided to stop and breath and see how beautiful my life is with Lan.
I am extremely excited and overwhelmed that I, Chelsea Vanhorn, have found my true soul mate at the age of 19. But it wasn't until today that I really stopped and realized how much he meant to me. I know this sounds cheesy but everything in life happens for a reason. And Lord knows I have made some bad and good decisions. And for those of you who know what it took me to get this far in my relationship with Lan you can understand and love that I finally took that BREATH.
This weekend may have changed my life forever in many ways. Many of you know what ALL happened this weekend and how dramatic it was for me at first.But in the end, I realized I am stronger than I thought, I have let go, and I love Lan with ALL my heart.

REALLY bad day!

So today turned out to be an extremely bad day for me. We had just gotten off our trip monday when Lan found out he wasn't getting laid off. That was great news but then it started to turn bad. Yesterday we then found out the reason he gets to keep his job is because he has to work night shift. Not only did I only get to see him on the weekends, after he got off work, now I'll have to sleep by myself on the weekends and have nothing to do at night. I am so frustrated with his job that I don't know what to do. It has been right over a year now that Lan has been working in forsyth, which means we are an hour away from each other and only get to see each other on the weekends. And that is if I go to his house, may I remind you Lan hasn't been able to come to my house in over 2 months. Things start getting a little depressing when you have to do everything by yourself. And it also tends to get really lonely. The only time I get to see Lan is on the weekends, which is also the time that my friends want to hang out. But since that is the only time I get to see Lan, I choose him. I am so fed up with seeing people take their relationships for granted because I am so jealous that you get to see your love everyday. I am also so fed up with Lan's job but I don't want to tell him me or the job because of the way the economy is right now. I don't know what to do! so therefore, my day continued to get more frustrating and worse...so now I am going to try and sleep it off. Tomorrow is a new day!

Vacation WAY over due

Labor day weekend me and Lan decided to go on a trip just me and him. We needed this vacation because we hardly ever get to see each other. We wanted to go somewhere close and somewhere we had never been before, so we chose Charleston, SC.

The first day we walked about 20 miles...haha! We walked from the battery (the plantation houses) to the market. The town was SO beautiful and we just couldn't get enough. But going to be late and waking up super early to walk all day...we had to take a nap before dinner. The place we made reservations for was WAY too fancy for our taste...so as we sat in the 5 star restaurant, lan and i show how redneck we are. We got up and walked out of the restaurant...I just wasn't in the mood for duck or lamb. Instead we had some fabulous fire wood pizza and walked the town the rest of the night.

The last day we decided to tour the USS Yorktown and a submarine. It was really cool to see where they have to stay and sleep, etc. We went to dinner that night to eat some crab legs...YUMM! And then after dinner we went on a haunted jail tour....that was AWESOME! The true stories she told FREAKED me out...but I was hoping to see something HAHA!

After the trip was over and we had to be on our way home we were both Extremely sad. Our weekend getaway came to and end and it was back to reality the next day. The drive home wasn't as long, but once we got home it went by too fast. I eventually had to leave and go home, and our weekend was over.

Many Happenings

So I know I haven't wrote in a while, don't kill me!
1.) It is coming up on Labor Day Weekend and Lan & I have decided to take a trip just me and him. I am very excited because it is WAY over due. It has been tough being away from him and only getting to see him on the weekends. I honestly can't tell you how much longer I can do it. I see everyone with their loved one and it makes me so sad because I just want to hold Lan.
We decided to go to Charleston, SC. Everyone has said it is very romantic and there is so much to do. I am excited, but the best part is we get to spend the long weekend just Me & Him!

2.) I finally broke down and went ahead and started asking some girls to be my bridesmaids. I had the pleasure of eating dinner with Brittany, Momma, Kacy, & Kristina last night. As we were eating I decided I should ask Britt first to make sure we had our moment. I started tearing up like I told myself not to do. I have always said I was so thankful that I had a sister and we were so close. I couldn't have seen anyone else being my Maid Of Honor other that my sis. Then I went on to ask some of my closest friends, who are like my sisters, if they could also do me the honor. Everyone was thrilled and it made me even more excited to start planning the wedding.
