wedding jitters

Well I get married on Saturday, kind of nervous. Wondering if I really want to now, if I can deal with being with charlie for the rest of my life. I love him don't get me wrong but I am 25 I have many more years left, it scares me that its such a long commitment. Nolan is going to wear the cutest suit its adorable, he has asked me to do his hair fancy "spiked but fancy to him i guess lol". We go get the ring tonight he really waited till the last min on this one hopefully they can size it by Friday night when we leave. I doubt it will be but whatever it will just make him look like the fool not me, as you can tell I am quite annoyed that Charlie waited this long to go ring shopping. I bought his ring in july so that if anything was wrong with it i had time to fix it. well I have to go get nolan ready to go out will write about all the details later next week

Forget snakes on a plane

So I have been quite enjoying the wonderful weather on the weekends here, We have used it to go swimming every weekend. So this weekend we had our first snake issues, on Saturday I went and emptied the skimmer when we got there and found a dead frog, So I took it and disposed of it. We (Nolan and I) then got in to swim and about 3 hours later Charlies dad aka Papa came and emptied it again and told me that there was another dead frog. Well turns out that the dead frog he got out was a baby copperhead that had decided to go swimming with us while we were in the pool, thankfully nether of us got bit by it nor did we see it. So on Sunday we were in the pool again and this time Charlies mom aka Grannie was swimming with us, we had been in the pool for about an hour and all of a sudden I see a blur and hear a small splash followed by "Get the fuck outta the pool, There is a snake in it". I should state that Nolan and I were sitting on the seat under the waterfall so it's in the deepend which happens to be the farthest from the exit. So I see the snake heading towards Nolan and I now and not heading for the exit, So I shove off the seat and start swimming and pushing nolan towards the exit, but soon found out I was not moving as fast as I wanted to so I told Grannie to help me with Nolan and she jumped back in and grabbed him. We made it to the exit in what seemed like 5 mins but I know it was at most a min and a half, All of us huddled in the top step shaking and crying due to the frightening experience of not knowing if it was venomous or not. We called papa who had rode his motorcycle over to see how Charlie was making out building a garden wall for his uncle. Papa said he was on his way over and we took the time to calm down and figure out what kind of snake it was, too great relief it was only a 4 foot long black snake but it could have been something else not so friendly we are very lucky. It took Papa about 45 mins to get this snake out of the pool and dispose of it, We didn't go swimming for the rest of the day and have gotten Snake-A-Way to put out in the yard so this hopefully never happens again. It was very scary due to the possibility of it being venomous, all that went through my head is if it's gonna bite us please bite me and not Nolan. I am not used to all these snakes Canada has snakes but 1 kind of rattle snake that is so rarely seen that most people don't even know about it. Grannie and Papa said this is the most snake activity that they have had in the 6 years of having the pool, Grannie has had only one snake come in the pool before while she was in it. But to Nolan and I this is all new we are not experienced at snakes jumping in the pool to swim with us. So from now on I think I will stay in the shallow area close to the exit.
