big wedding week!

I'm trying to take it easy this week, since the last two weeks have been crazy. We had my FSIL's wedding, then i had my own big meetings. We got a centerpiece from the florist - our mock up... so awesome. The only think that needed fixing was that it was a little too tall. If she puts it into a shorter vassal, it will be perfect. Then we took it to the mansion and picked out linens and chairs. We also went though and selected our menu - YUMMY. It's really going to be great. We also went through the timeline, and a 5 hour event was summed up in 5 minutes. :( Not so much fun to think about how quickly the day will go. That's okay though, I will make it a point to enjoy it all that I can! We are getting so excited as it gets so close. The best thing was to walk through the site and know how we are going to have everything set. It's all going so fast - its a shame that time doesn't stop for anything. I would freeze time now if I could.

all about the ugh

so tired!! Had a great time over the weekend at my future sister-in-law's wedding. Sadly had to work this morning - rough start to the week. But I had a great surprise when I received a phone call from my invite place telling me that the printer could not come through with our request (after telling us it was no problem), but offered to fix the mistake by giving us a great upgrade! Way to go Mira at the Paper Trail! Anyway totally made my day. I can't wait until they come in.

Our good friend was going to make them for us - she does beautiful work, but the forces that be took over, and we needed to go order them. Our hearts are with our friend during this trying time for her.

So I'm going to have to post how I need to get back onto my workout band wagon. I have to admit, I went to the gym and got some information on a personal trainer - someone to provide some motivation, and it just was way too $$$$$ for us right now. And I was pretty bummed that I won't be able to partake. Now my motivation is WAY down, and I have to get it back up. So I've asked FI to help me by coming with, and making our gym visits a daily event again. We will see.

More to post soon!

brand new

I've always enjoyed keeping a thread of thoughts, and I thought this might be a fun way to keep them moving forward. I'm not too interesting of a person, and I prefer to keep it that way. I like simple things. To me, relaxing with my fiance on the front porch while the sun is making its way down is the perfect end to the day. Sitting on the beach while chatting about life with my mom is the perfect way to spend a weekend. I also like to do fun things - amusement parks and I get along extremely well. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do... and I love to travel all ways, by car, plane, train or boat. I love to be in the tropical weather, but there is truly nothing as beautiful as hiking to a hidden waterfall in Yellowstone that has fresh winter snow run-off.

Today, I'm working. A rarity on the weekend. I spend one quarterly in the city while I take care of our board members. They will be having lunch soon, so I need to go take a few minutes to check on them.
