Venues

The wedding will be held at St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Don't worry, I don't believe we are having the whole mass. Not sure though. Father Scaletty will be performing the ceremony. He also was the priest that married Mick and Joe.
check out the church at: http://www.stpatsinchanute.com/


Reception and Dance will be at the Star Ballroom also in Chanute, USA.
It is a BYOB establishment, some will be provided. Even though I can't drink, I will still have a great time and be able to remember all that happens. I will live vicariously through my drinking family and friends on this night. Plus, we don't have to be out of this establishment till 10 am the next day!!! WOOOHHHOOO

My decorator will make this place sparkle.

Jr. Vargas y Grupo Picante


The band are long time acquaintances of mine. When I spoke to Jr. He said, "you know you are breaking my heart." These guys are great, they specialize in tejano music.
We will have a DJ as well for my country and 80's craze.

November 4th, 2006



After a long battle with work schedules, ballroom vacancies, band availability, and church openings, we finally have a date.
Just a heads up. The wedding will be at 2pm on Saturday November 4th, in good ole Chanute America. My Texas friends, it is only a 6 hour drive, that is if you are not drinking on the way!!! It will be well worth the trip up there, on the way back, you may be a little hung over.
There will be a reception and dance in the later evening. Drinking in between 3pm-6pm. Or if you prefer rest before the long night.
Hope to see many of you there, for this will be the last time you will ever see me in a wedding dress. For one, we all thought that this day would never come.

Playing Possum

I know that i have not been doing so well in keeping up this blog, yes, I have heard responses for this, Mrs. Choat, or should I say one response. I had been in KC watching my nieces play in the National 10 and under World Series, I thought I was going there for a little RR but we played early in the morning Tuesday thru Friday. I had a great time seeing my girls play and were very proud of them. I had thought that I would be able to get to this blog, but did not.
Here are my baby updates.
A couple of weeks ago, I had a doctor's appointment. Everything was going well until my doctor wanted to hear the baby's heart beat. Well, she could not find it. So, she brought in the sonogram machine, could not find the baby. At this point I was worried. Next, she did it vaginally. She saw a mass, but it was not what she wanted to see, it was not looking good. So, I immediatly thought the worse. She sent me to get a second opinion. I had drank 5 bottles of water in 15 minutes and oh my gosh, I had to pee!! Before I had went, my doctor said that the 2nd opinion people were not going to tell me anything and that she would call me, when she got the word.
Well, I finally went in with a full bladder. Yeah, the sonogram machines were monsterous. But low and behold, the sonogram lady said, "I am going to give you a little relief, this looks like a heart beat to me!" So, for a good 30 minutes, I saw this little sucker, that was playing possum, jump around on me like I was a trampoline. I was relieved. They messured me as being 10 and a half weeks instead of 11 and a half. So, as off right now, I will be ending my 12 week at the end of this week.
My new due date will be around February 13th.
By the way, Donnie was at work this day, because independent me that only thinks of herself, made an appointment that he could not make. But we will both be there on August 16th, when we will definitly be able to hear the heart beat and possibly tell the sex of the baby.
So, I ask you, what do you think it is?
And, should I wait till my wedding date to tell everyone?

The Damage Has Been Done


When Donnie asked for my hand in marriage, in the words of my father, "I can't say no, the damage has been done."
