Weddings and Resolutions

Well I am back to work. The first day was a whirl wind because it felt like everything was everywhere and not organized my way (however, the girls that helped in my place did an awesome job and I really appreciate them). You know how something can be clean, but not your kind of clean? I mean, I spend more time sitting in this chair than I do... well anything else. So, it's reasonable that I am picky about it. Anyway, now it's Thursday and things feel like they never changed.

Now that I am back and had time to talk some things over about the wedding with Matt, we are hitting the ground running on several things such as the engagement party, venues, bla bla. I read on a website, which may be the single greatest piece of advice I have gotten so far is:
"Don't tell everyone the details of your wedding. For one you'll ruin the surprise and two, you're opening up yourself to the opinions of others." Genius! I have been stressed out about just about every aspect so far from venues to prices to bridesmaids, not hurting any one's feelings, making it beautiful when in all reality, it's about me and Matt. I would be just as happy marrying him in front of a JOP and calling it good. But, somehow I think I might come to regret the decision in the future, and I don't think our parents would appreciate it. So there we have it, it's going to be a surprise for the most part. We'll do what we want, and I am sure everyone will love it because they love us... and if they don't.. why are they coming to the wedding? ha ha

Well every bride wants to look their best at their wedding and I am no exception. I want to look "my" best... not what someone else's definition of my best is, which means I am going the healthy route. No crash crazy diets, no malnutrition, just good old fashion diet and exercise. I have also taken then opportunity to realize my major vices... beer and chips & salsa. Goodbye old friend. I'll see you after the wedding... maybe. One thing I am proud of is that I gave up aspartame for New Years and I actually kept it! It's almost September! People have their opinions about the validity of the danger of aspartame, but really it just keeps me from pop all together because I'm not willing to suffer the calories of a Pepsi...unless it's a really stressful day.

Anyway, I felt like I hadn't posted in a while. Enjoy!
