MIA but still doing very well
Well, I'm guessing that it is time for me to have a real update
Things on my end have been pretty hectic. I started school back last week. This semester is definitely going to be more difficult and more work will need to be accomplished. So, that keeps me busy 2 nights a week. I have choir on Wednesday nights. I only have 2 nights a week that I'm kind of free. During the weekend, I've been trying to get this wedding more a reality.
This weekend was very productive in respect to the wedding.
We are moving the reception to a different location. The previous location was alright but the space was very awkward and it would be very cumbersome in order to use the space correctly. We saw the new location last Saturday. My wedding planner (yes, I did get a wedding planner), found it and it is perfect. It has a disco ball and a chandelier with a 40 by 40 dance floor! :) It'll be a little more expensive but this is the only thing that I'm actually spending more money on. Everything else we have done has been under budget. We bought the flowers for the day, we solidified the cater, we fixed up the bridal registries. My dress should be in this week (finally). I'm ready just to get this done and over with. It's a lot of work that you are never ready for until you are actually planning your own wedding. I'm having a wedding shower on Feb 2nd which should be fun. My mom is bringing baby Ayden!! He's eating baby cereal now, he's growing so fast!
Work has been hectic. I don't have time to even think yet alone update my journal. It's funny, they aren't paying me anymore but I have all the responsibilities of a senior level position. I got a call from a different opportunity that may be interesting.. I'm going to check it out.. I'm secretly hoping that I get an offer that I can't refuse, I really do. I love all the people that I work with but I'm not very happy with the work itself though I'm good at it. I don't know, we'll see what happens, can't worry about something that hasn't happened. They called me today, we'll see if they call me back tomorrow hopefully asking for an interview.
I've been keeping up with my low carb diet and it has been positive. I'm losing weight steadily and am the lowest weight I have been in 6 years or so. I'm hoping that I can drop another 30lbs before the wedding, if I keep up with it, it will definitely happen. I have faith in myself, only I can control my own life. And I'm happy with my life right now. Though I'm stressed a lot of days because of work stuff, I'm happy with where I am in my personal and academic life. I'm bettering my health, I'm preparing to be a wife and hopefully soon a mother. I really want to be a mom, I've been having the baby itch for the last couple of years but especially since Ayden was born. He is my angel, I love him like he's my own. But, I do know that we need to wait because we aren't ready yet. We need to get a little more settled into married life and figure out where we are going to go from here. Are we going to stick around here or go back to NC? If so, how many more years? Am I going to work when we have kids or be a stay-at-home mom? Just a lot of questions that will have to be answered in the right way and at the right time.
Well, I need to get back to work!
Much Love to Everyone!!
