81 Days
Sorry there has been a little set back with my blogging in the past week a lot has happened with wedding plans and plans after our vows. I got a phone call a few days ago from Erin Moss from Wildwood and she told me that she was leaving the Metroparks due to health reasons and that she is hoping that her position is filled before our big day gets here. Now your wondering why this is a set back well as you know we have been engaged for almost 2 years already and I have created relationships with our vendors and they have me down to a T as a person my likes and dislikes they know how to keep me calm when things worry me.Erin is the head of all of our vendors, she has set up connections for me. The manor house was going to bend some rules for me because they respect Erins judgement and now she is gone I have a last meeting with her tonight and I am hoping this calms my nerves a little.
Another huge thing that has happened is Michael came home from a meeting with his boss yesterday and said he was let go from Erie West. He would be paid through the month but after that we would be without an income. My first reaction was anger then sadness and now I just feel like we have to move on this is just a small mountain in our life and once we arrive on the other side we will be grateful for it, because it made us stronger human beings and closer to the Lord. I ask that you pray for Michael and I through this glitche, that we will lean on the Lord and he will provide all we NEED!

Skin was in the Free Press
Business
Lambertville’s Skin Laser and Day Spa expands
Written by Mary Petrides | | mpetrides@toledofreepress.com
Vanessa Williams said the best part of the spa business is helping people feel good about themselves — and it’s something she does well.
“I call her my little angel,” said Suzi Miller, who owns a barber shop just up the street from Williams’ Skin Laser and Day Spa. She’s seen Williams for laser facial treatments for three or four years and has been pleased with the results.
“She made me feel a whole lot better about myself,” Miller said.
“I said, ‘If anybody puts fire near my face, you do it’ — I have to trust them,” she said.
The spa, located in Lambertville, Mich., recently expanded, almost doubling in size and adding about 1,500 square feet to its facility. The expansion includes new manicure and pedicure stations, two new massage stations and fresh paint.
“It took me about four and a half hours to pick the colors,” Williams said.
Skin offers more services than most spas, Williams said. Its menu lists dozens of services, including laser hair removal, massages, manicures and pedicures.
On a busy day, between 50 and 75 people come to the spa, Williams said, and the store has seen a 65 percent increase in traffic since the expansion was completed. She said 98.9 percent of her clients return.
Miller said she knows why.
“It’s Vanessa,” she said. “She’ll bend over backwards for you. I just think she’s a wonderful person.”
Miller said the spa has a warm, friendly atmosphere.
Miller has cut hair for 34 years at various barbershops. She had a falling out with one barbershop, she said, and she called Williams. Williams allowed her to work at the spa as a subcontractor, cutting hair.
“I would have lost everything if it wasn’t for her,” Miller said.
Miller has since opened her own barbershop up the street and said she’s in good hands at Skin.
“You know when you go there, you know it’s going to be perfect,” Miller said.

94- 89 days
Okay Okay so I haven't blogged in a few days I was in upper MI with friends and family it was a blast. Being there this weekend made me look at life completely differant as I was sitting around the campfire and looking at all the faces I realized how life flies by and how those people have been in my life for a long time and it feels like yesterday that I met them. I was chatting with two of the groomsmen about the guest situation (situation being guest or no guest on invite) I have limited seating so I have to put on the invitation "due to limited seating we request that only the people addressed on the envelope come to the reception." My guests and some of Mikes guests were saying that isn't fair but it is totally fair, I am only putting the people I want there ,names on the invitation. For instance some of my friends and Mikes friends have not been dating anyone for any length of time so therefore what good would it be for me to kick someone off the guest list that means something to us for someone we don't know to come to the wedding. I know it sounds bratty but if you really think about it it makes a lot of sence when you can only invite 250 people to your wedding.

95 Days
Today I woke up and felt very unorganized. I have so many things left to do before the wedding gets here but part of me feels like it is still far enough away that I can breathe until after our trip this coming weekend. My shower stuff is taking up an entire room in our humble abode. I love looking at it all and thinking about using it in a few months and I get so excited. Yesterday I took the day off and just reorganized my life, well not really my life just Mikes closet.His closet was horrible, old basketball shorts from basketall season on the floor winter pajama pants. Then I went to the store and bought him some new swim trunks and some new white T-shirts for work. I know I know boring stuff, but that is what my day off consisted of. Andrea and Michelle came over and we watched bathelorette. It was fun because before that we sat around and talked about my shower and looked at andrea's pictures from the shower. Then I went to bed ugh man was I sleepy. Boring entry ha ha
