Jamaica!

Okay, so I know fiance and I have been figuring we couldn't take the time for a honeymoon with the second half of our friends tying the knot in 2009, but we have decided it was very important and booked a trip to Jamaica for 6 days. It's not too long, but it is longer than the 3 day weekend we were planning on taking to Sedona with the pooches.

I have to say, this trip has now brought a whole new excitement level to the wedding. I know those of you who have planned a wedding understand all the craziness that comes along with the opinions of 18 different people. Needless to say, I am very excited for the two weeks I have set aside to be just for me and Chris and our friends and family. I have made it clear to my work that I will be unavailable for two weeks...I have never done that before.

The wedding planning in nearly done. All we have left to do is get the all important marriage license, purchase some gifts, and get ourselves ready. Just a side note...What the hell is with all the side ads on search engines? I have been researching hairstyles and make-up ideas for the day and everywhere it says, lose 15 pounds before your wedding or be a beautiful bride by your wedding by losing 25 pounds. I'm sick of the skinny bride stereotype. Sure, I don't want to be flabby, but that is me...I am a flabby person, and the fiance likes the way I look, why should I change just for the wedding?

Done and Alive!

Well, Fiance and I finished our first half-marathon this weekend. (I know all you marathon runners may ho hum at this, but I am a fat girl...let me be) My training kinda went by the wayside over the last 2 months, and I am feeling it now (13.1 miles if far longer than I had expected it to be). Yet, we did it, and I have to say I feel a sense of accomplishment, now I just have to beat my time next time! The bad thing is, I can only estimate my time because my race chip must have been defected and didn't record my time. I'm in the process of trying to get this fixed. I don't have any pictures of the during (thank god) but they took one at the very end so maybe I'll try to get my paws on it sometime.

Other than that, 2009 is trucking right along. All wedding preparations are in order and we are at the 2 month mark!!! Dress is being altered, centerpieces are picked out, linens are chosen, cake is designed, invites are out, flowers are done, photographer booked and wedding album paid for, and our wedding rings are purchased. So far all has gone smoothly...(you didn't hear me, but I knocked on wood right there)

I apologize for my blogging delinquency over the past month...I hope you all had a fantastic New Year!!
