Ashley & Umut Planning Journal WP/GF 06/06/09 UPDATE 06/23 PICTURES!!

[tiggersam00]

Ohhh I want to see pics of those T's! I bet they are super cute, I know BPT's is the only place that does Disney desgins too!

Wow I didn't realize you had a move too!! You are going to have a busy June girl!! My only advice with moving and going on vacation close together is get 1 room done the way you like so you have a little space to relax when you get back from WDW. Even just a corner with a comfy chair and table for a glass of wine, it will save your sanity! DF and I got engaged and moved into our new place the same week and I made sure I had 1 room done enough for me to relax, what a huge difference it made! I would have gone nuts in the mess that we called "the rest of the house"!

I told my mom about "my twins" wedding and she said "congratulations, June 6th is a good day!"

Lol okay I'll take pictures tonight I couldn't find my camera it went MIA on me I found it this morning so I'll do update tonight. Ya I love BPT's I found sooo much stuff and I also bought a Bridal sweat suit in black I get that this week.And I have my shower this weekend so I'll have lots of pictures when I get back my showers in miami so I'll have alittle mini vacation Ya we have to move but since my FBIL and FSIL are going to a wedding that weekend and can't help and DF can't pick up heavy stuff we hired movers so there going to be doing most of the work for us and we just have to un pack and I'm bringing some stuff of mine my self since I live 45min from DF so I won't make them come move my stuff too. But we get the keys the 23rd!! So I'm gunna clean and what not and move our clothes in. And then saturday morning they're going to move all the furinture in. Ya I'm going to unpack as much as I can saturday and sunday and set everything up. And make sure theres a little place like you said for sure thank you! I wanna do all the moving and unpacking before we even leave for WDW I don't wanna have to worry about it when we get back and the day before we leave I'm not coming to work I already told them. So that way I can do last minute running around and finish everything and not have to worry about it after work. Never mind scratch what I said about the sweat suit I just got it now!! I'll take pics tonight! Aww tell your mom I said Thank you !! I'm soo excited I finished the rehearsal invites they came out good I like them!

First dance: Amazed by Lonestar
Father Daughter dance: I'm torn between a few
Cinderella by Steve Curtis Chapman, Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle , and My Little Girl by Tim Mcgraw
Mother Son dance: I have no idea what DF picked I know it's Turkish

Well the cake I reallly wanted this other cake I saw in a magazine

Thanx twin! I know I LOVED it!! When my mom first told me my MOH and FSIL was going to make my cake cause they couldn't find any I like or that would fit the place. I freaked!!! And I was like are you serious I thought my mom was kidding I donno why but lately my mom likes to joke around with me and annoy me about stuff and thinks its funny!!! But she wasn't this time I never said anything to them about it. But neither one of them are professional bakers or anything and I was worried over nothing! I'm sooo happy about my cake and the way it tasted was even better!! So I'm sooo excited EVERYTHING is paid off for the wedding!!! And we get the keys to our new place tonight!!! We move tonight and tomorrow!! I can't wait and I wanna do alittle more honeymoon shopping this weekend when I go to the outlets with one of my friends she pregers so she needs new close she's starting not to fit into hers anymore. I have a busy busy weekend!! And I just found out the most worest news to top everything off my dad he found out he might have cancer. I've been soo upset the past couple of days. I don't know much he won't tell me intill after the wedding he doesn't want to worry me So it's been a rough couple of days around here. Hopefully everything goes well this weekend! I'll try and update more tonight

Hi Ashley! I just wanted to say "Hi!" I just read through your PJ and everything looks like it's really coming together- your wedding is so soon- Congrats! I love your dress and your shower cake is soooo cute!

I'm also so sorry to hear about all the medical problems with Umut and your dad How did Umut's Dr appt go? Did he get put on the transplant list? Is he already on dialysis? Sorry I'm a nurse so I tend to be nosy about these things.

Also with your dad's cancer try not to panic just yet... cancer is no longer a death sentence like it used to be. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year and a half ago and he freaked Now, if you have to pick a cancer prostate is usually not too bad of one to have but my dad's was a really aggressive (grade V)- they did surgery 2 days after they diagnosed it (luckily they caught it very early) but it had already spread to the surrounding tissue But after radiation he is doing well again He still has to get chemo injections every 3 months but he is really doing well Cancer is never fun but with proper treatment and lots of support you'll make the best of it Just try to take a deep breath and get over the initial fear of the diagnosis and find out what he needs to do for treatment Knowledge is power so try to find out as much info as you can! You can PM me if you have any ?'s because I know medical stuff can be confusing... hang in there

Hi!!! Thank you for taking the time to read it! Yes I'm very happy how everything has turned out and came together! It really has gone by sooo fast! I'm soooo excited we leave next week for the World!

Umut's app went okay I have to say we were alittle disappointed. Because before he could even see the transplant dr he had to go to a class to get info and see if it was what he wanted to do, well the info that they gave us was wrong!!! They told him it would only be 6months so that was great. But once after alll the test they had to do we finally saw a few dr's and one told him it would be 1-2yrs, another told him 2-3yrs, and the other one told him 4-5yrs!!!! I mean thats a big difference from 6months to 5 yrs!!!! So he was alittle annoyed by it. And so was I cause he was getting upset it's alot to take in all at once. But other then that everything else went well. We won't know for sure intill this week if he made the list and no hes not on dialysis yet they said he won't need to be on it yet intill his % goes 10 or less and hes at 14% now so. He has an app on thrusday with his regular kidney dr . And my dad I know thats what they think he has prostate cancer but he won't give me any info intill after the wedding So hopefully everythings okay. Ya I know it's not as bad as it once was my uncle had lung cancer and won and then later on out he got a bad flu and from that he passed away. Ya I've just been trying to take it one day at a time. But with not knowing any info is hard. Ya it's alittle tough to figure out medical stuff. Thanx I might take you up on that if I have any questions I'll PM you Thank you again!!!!!

Awww twin, I am so sad to hear all of this! I agree with Adelia, just take it slow and know that you have a support system here if you need us... I just wanted to let you know that Dave's dad had prostate cancer and beat it, he still has checkups and takes good care of himself, but he made it through. So there is hope, don't lose hope Ashley
And it sounds really frusterating about the MD's and Umuts status. And I know all these life changes are tough all at once, but just remember to breath, and let me know if you need anything girl
