Married :)

So I know I disappeared. Like really disappeared. I think it said my last post was January 2. I apologize now. But life got crazy busy- planning a wedding and all. The time flew by and before I knew it, the day came and went. And out of all that, I'm a married woman!

They aren't kidding when they tell you to enjoy the day because it went by so fast. Crazy fast. I was so in the moment, I didn't even care that it rained on us. Thankfully it was only 30 minutes and it really opened up in the last two seconds. The day was glorious and fun and I can't wait to see all the pictures. I remember amazing food, awesome dancing, and seeing wonderful friends. But the pictures will tell me the rest.

We went to Vegas for our honeymoon. Which ended up being a blast but started off as an ordeal and a half. And let me tell you, its hard for two very exhausted people to see the silver lining but I did my best to outline it every 5 minutes that first day. And there was champagne so that helped. We didn't win any money- sad face here. But we didn't lose any money either- it was bonus money as we like to call it. I think we are still catching up on our sleep from flying back from Vegas on Friday and completing a 10 hour drive on Saturday. But I'm starting to think its because my head misses those pillows the Vegas bed had and the blackout curtain we used. Those blackout curtains are amazing. I kept thinking it was the middle of the night at times and yet it would be 9:30am and shiny as all get out.

So that's where I've been these past few months. Getting married and all. And now I am anxiously awaiting the birth announcements from two very good friends over the next month or so. One any day now too.

I promise to be better at this whole blogging thing as I figure out how to be a wife and all. Me- a wife. Crazy!

Until next time,

The new Mrs!!!

Welcome to 2013!!!

Hi All,

This is the year! I'm getting married soon! I can't believe we are 86 days from the wedding... I still have so much to do it feels like. It'll get done I know but its still a little scary. What's not scary but very exciting is that we are so close to my first shower! I have the best friends/bridesmaids a girl can ask for- they are throwing my two showers. These next few months are going to fly by filled with excitement.

In apartment news, we are trying to get settled in to our new digs. There are still boxes everywhere. It'll be a long process, I'm sure, but hopefully this week we can get a lot knocked out since we don't have any real plans. The cats are starting to get adjusted I think. The first few days were hard on them I think because we've uprooted them a lot in the last two months. But hopefully with consistency at the new apartment, they'll start to feel at home.

Finally, in ringing in 2013 and trying to get ready for the wedding- THE DIET has begun. Throughout the holiday season, we kept saying January starts the new diet and exercise regimen. So its officially here and we are ready to go. Its kind of exciting in the sense that we aren't the only ones trying to get in shape, etc. We have a support network all set up already to not only hold us accountable but also to celebrate in our successes. And many may think its just for the wedding but its really not. I will definitely admit the wedding is huge motivator that's for sure but I've always wanted to slim down again. I've packed on a few pounds recently. Anyways, if I could lose 20 pounds, I would be extremely happy. With our new apartment it will be easy to get exercise in. Not only will our apartment complex soon have 2 gyms on the property but we live in a walk-centric neighborhood so it'll be really easy to just go out and walk around. Being on the 3rd floor will help too because I'll try and take the stairs more often. I have a plan and a support group. So here's to a new me in 2013!

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and New Year and are as excited as I am for what 2013 may bring!!!

Until next time,

Christina
