4 Months!

I can't believe that another month has gone by. It feels like last week we were playing MarioKart every hour of the day for the entire summer before senior year. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful person in my life. He makes me who I am. He is my whole life. I can't wait to finally join our families together and to one day make that family grow. I am the luckiest girl in the world!

Bridesmaids

I LOVE everything bridesmaids!

It's so fun to be able to share every wedding secret with your best friends. I know my bridesmaids have heard enough of my wedding stress from weight loss to colors of their shoes to colors of my shoes. They are the absolute best. I am so thankful to have such beautiful women in my life. They make me who I am. Some are old friends, some sisters, some more recent. No matter the timing of our introduction, all are sisters to me. They are always there for me and I am so thrilled to have them there at the alter next to me :)

Just wanted to share this with my special girls. You will always have a most special place in my heart. I am so lucky to have 7 of you! Love you all so much.

PS. Did I mention I chose the pink one?

Weight Loss So Far...

As of today I weigh ..... 126! This brings the amount lost to 14 pounds! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Can you tell I'm excited? :D

Flowers

Here's the thing...flowers are really expensive. I figured we would do silk flowers and no one would know the difference. Until someone offered to give us real ones. Of course I say yes! Little did I know we would go to a high end florist that has been in wedding magazines I look in all the time! The Blooming Gallery or Flowers by Lisa is absolutely amazing. She had so many ideas that blew us away. For anyone about to get married... use her. She's incredible! I'm so excited to see all of her ideas come to life! It's going to be absolutely fabulous :)

Wedding Workout/Diet

Those who know me well know that I have the eating and drinking habits of an overweight 40 year old male with rising cholesterol. I ate gigantic portions 4 times a day and one of them was most likely an entire box of Kraft Mac. I never worked out. When I wasn't working I was in front of the TV getting my reality TV fix for the day. Needless to say I gained weight...quick.

Anyways when I realized I needed to lose weight for the wedding I kissed the coffee, soda, mac, and ramen a sweet and overdue Goodbye.

So far it's been 2 weeks of working out (5 days a week) and eating smaller portions of better food 5 times a day! I have only lost about 7 pounds so far but I feel great and am finally starting the process of looking like a thin and fit bride. Today was the first day I felt skinnier so I decided to share my enthusiasm!

Wish me luck!

FYI

Okay so I put this up just to give everyone a heads up. Everyone is asking me who they should bring so just FYI...

We are not sending out invitations for you +1. I know it sounds harsh but we wanted to invite as many friends as humanly possible. I just wanted to tell everyone now before you show up with an extra person and they don't have food or a seat. We do love your friends...but not as much as we love you :)

Honeymoon

We have always been the type of people that just want to be by the water. The moment we got engaged we knew we wanted to go where ever the water was beautiful, plenty of drinks and a plethora of exciting things to do. Basically we were looking at anything around Caribbean waters.

For those who are planning, GO TO A TRAVEL AGENT. Expedia may look nice, Price line says they are the ultimate negotiator. Whatever. They are all full of it. Yes, its a deal but you can find better. Travel agents have the best deals and have sent people on vacations and honeymoons for years. Theres a high end travel agent on Htown that specializes in honeymoons. Just find someone you are comfortable with and then go from there.

Now back to the story! My Aunt Laura and Uncle Dan called my mom saying they wanted to give us their timeshare in Cancun! We couldn't be more excited! We both already love surprises and this one was a pretty amazing one. We couldn't be more thankful! The room is an Ocean view Villa!

There are so many things to do there we are so excited. Ruins, dolphins, jet skis, zip lines, underwater caves and my personal favorite....going down in a shark cage :D NO I don't have a death wish. I have an obsession is Shark Week. It enthralls me every year. So I am pretty excited about it! I may pee myself out of fear but hopefully that doesn't attract them to me further. Let the adventures begin!
