Hey everyone!
I was online for a sec and just thought I'd write another journal entry for you all...so as most of you may have heard by now, I'M ENGAGED! Oh my goodness, it's still hard to believe. It was completely unexpected...so let me give you all the deets on my "fiance" (wow, that feels weird to say that! lol) His name is Brian and we have known eachother since 7th grade, so we grew up together for most of our lives. He's 20-years-old and lives across town, about a 20 minute drive from where I live. We've been going out for about 3 1/2 years and he makes me SO happy...I love him a lot. My mom, Elaine, had the biggest feeling that he was going to propose...but me and everyone else was like, "no way! not right now, it's not the right time..." but, I guess it's true what they say: Mother really does know best! So there's "Carly's Advice of the Day" to all you rebellios teenagers out there: LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS! lol My mom was the only one thinking that though...and boy was I ever shocked (good shocked, though) when he started talking about spending the rest of our lives together and then got down on his knee, in front of the entire restaurant (he took me out to breakfast..how romantic! lol) and popped out the ring! My ring is gorgeous, I just love it! Sara will have a picture for you all soon...of my ring, of course. We tentavily have set the wedding for Audust 19, 2005...that's almost a month after I turn 20. I've already started looking at wedding dresses online to get some ideas and have found som gorgeous ones! I still have a lot to do, from planning the guest list to the wedding party (which you can bet on Jade, Jessica, and Erin being a definite part of as none other than my wonderful Maids of Honors...I know you're supposed to only have 1, but there's no possible way I can choose one of those sweethearts!!) We hope to have an outside wedding...we just gotta look around for the perfect spot...anyway, I have to run and finish some school work and then get some rest, but I'll write again soon with more wedding news!
Lots of Love,
Carly

Hey everyone! I just sent a bunch of wedding news to Sara and Nicole to post on the site when they get around to it, so be sure to check that out when it gets posted. :) The planning is going well...but there's still some big decisions to be made, like the place of the wedding (we hope to have an outside wedding, we just gotta find the perfect spot), our honeymoon spot, which dress I want, getting Brian and the ushers fit for their tux's, getting my girls all fitted for their dresses and actually picking out the dresses...hire a DJ, photographer, florist, caterer, reception area, reception menu, a minister...and the songs we plan to sing to each other as part of out vows...but I have my mama and friends and Brian's mom and sisters to help me out as well, so they'll take care of all of that tough stuff that I don't wanna deal with, lol!
The group is doing well! Jade's knee is 95% better now, and she couldn't be more happier...she's back to her old dancing self again! We've been having lots of rehearsals lately, we have a couple shows coming up next week, on Wednesday and Thursday. We're participating in a music festival for a local radio station out here in Cali. It should be lots of fun! We have rehearsals from 8:00 AM Sunday until 6:00 PM Sunday evening, and then fron 2:00 PM until 10:00 PM Monday and Tuesday. We're all really looking forward to it. We also have some studio time scheduled for next week and our manager is in the process of setting up a duet with someone very cool for us...but it's a secret so far, so I can't tell ya guys who it is.......sorry!
School is great, too. I have class Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2 hours in the evening right now, so it's not that bad and the work load isn't all that bad, either. Not yet, anyway! But I better get going right now...I have to finish writing my Physchology paper that's due Tuesday and then go out and have some fun for the weekend! It's Friday night...be safe and get out there and PAAAARTTY!!!
Lots of Love,
Carly

Hey everyone! First off, I want to apologize for none of us writing in our journals for so long. We've been really, really busy these past couple of months and things just got hectic for us all. Second, there's only four months until the wedding, and I have to admit, my nerves are going bonkers and driving me up the wall! But I'm really excited, too. It's going to be so beautiful and memorable, and definitely the best day of my life.
The girls and I are working really hard on a lot of new stuff for everyone. The movie was put on hold for a bit, due to Jade's surgery and recording sessions for our new album...but now, it's thisclose to being finished and then it'll be edited just a tiny bit, and, finally, released to theaters everywhere. So you all gotta go check it out when it's released. I don't know when that will be yet, but when we find out, you'll all be the first to know.
I only have two more finals to do this coming week, and then I'm done my first year of college. That's so exciting. It's definitely been a stressful year, with running back and forth to college courses, doing things with the group, planning the wedding, and trying to fit in my personal time in between everything, but it's been great. I really need to do well on these two finals to keep all of my A's in the courses, but I'm confident that I'll do fine.
So I hear that Sara is putting together an official site for us, which is AWESOME! We can't wait to see the final outcome of it, and we will definitely have a big say and input into the site and exclusives, etc.
I have to run and do some more studying, but I promise someone will write again soon. But meanwhile, our "Little Bit" (that's our latest nickname for our jade .....LOL) has a MySpace account you can check out, and she writes in her journal there pretty regularly, just in case you get annoyed that we haven't sent Sara any journal entires for a while....lol! Take care everyone, and we'll write again soon!
Lots of Love,
Carly
