Peace out Twitter.

I attempted Twitter and I didn't like it. I update my facebook status like crazy, but I could never remember to update my Twitter. Oh well, I tried. I am going to get rid of my account. Farewell Twitter. Maybe some other time I will try to pick it back up..but for now, Facebook is enough for me.

In other news, I am going to visit my bestfriend over memorial day. I am super excited. I will have some pics of that, I am sure.

I have a bunch of things to blog about with a bunch of pics. I just haven't had the time. I have pictures from my trip with Beth to Springfield to see H (which was a BLAST). I have pics from Justin's surprise birthday celebration. I don't have a ton of pics from there, but it definitely deserves its own post. And then Friday night Rick and Amy had their wedding reception so I have pics (AND VIDEO!!) from that. We had a lot of fun, but we definitely wish we could have gone to their wedding in the Dominican.

So lots of new pics and entries should be coming soon. We'll see if I have the time to post all 3 events this coming up week. Now that I joined the gym, I guess I actually have to go to see results. :)

The time has come...

I could no longer stand my new pudgy body. It was depressing. And depressing in a way that was making me gain more weight and get more flabby. Not good. Justin and I finally decided to join a gym near our house. I had cancelled my membership around August of last year. I had not been to the gym in 9 MONTHS!! Holy cow!!

I was warned about the freshman 15 when I went to college. I started down a path to gain those 15 pounds, but luckily I was a student-athlete so I never gained that much. I was not, however, warned about the post-wedding 10(ish). I was in GREAT shape for our wedding and I worked really hard to get there. Then what do I do when the wedding is over?? Oh, completely disregard my previously successful work out routine.

I have decided to set a goal date. This will be the day when all of my backfat, love handles, and whatever else that is hanging over my jeans - it will be gone. That date is 4th of July. My goal is to lose 10 pounds by that day. That would be a better possibility if I could adjust my diet. That's my big struggle with weight lose - my diet. I don't mind working out, but I hate restricting my diet. I like to eat. Bottom line. :)

We joined yesterday and I had my first work out yesterday. It felt great to finally be in the gym again. Each cardio machine has its own little TV screen so you can watch whatever you want. At our old gym, there were about 5 TVs near the cardio machines that were preset. You had to hope that you could get on a machine within viewing distance of the TV you want to watch. It was a pain because that gym was always crowded. This is a smaller gym that is not too crowded. I am anxious to see some results, but I am going to try not to look at the scale or do any measurements (except for my starting weight and measurements that I did yesterday) for at least a week or two.

Here are some pics of gym. It's pretty spiffy.

Happy birthday, Husband.

I dropped the ball yesterday and didn't make a post for Justin's birthday. Sorry dear. Yeah right, he doesn't even read this thing. :)

I planned a surprise birthday weekend for him last weekend. It was a good time and he was definitely surprised. I will make another post about that some other time...when the pics are uploaded.

Happy birthday, Justin. I love you!

11 months...and 84 months.

Today is anniversary city. Er, monthiversary and anniversary.

We have been married for 11 months today. Yay! It's crazy that almost a year has gone by that quickly. Around this time last year I was making a seating arrangement. That was my absolute least favorite thing about wedding planning. It was awful. I made it through that and then had to make place cards. The place cards were my 2nd least favorite task. I printed them myself and it took FOREVER to get them aligned correctly. So that sucked. And then I tortured myself even more by choosing to glue colored rhinestones on each place card to symbolize the meal choice of the guest. Why did I do that to myself? The place cards turned out really cool though.

So it's been almost a year since the wedding. And as I said, it seems crazy that a year has gone by that quickly. What is even more crazy is that today marks 7 years that Justin and I have been together. Most days it does not feel like we have been together that long. I say most days because we have those days.

Happy monthiversary and anniversary to us! :)

Cheers to that!!

ETA pics. The middle pic is the oldest one I have on my computer. It is from 2004. Someday I will scan some real old school pics onto my computer.

Oh dang!

The weekend is upon us...FINA-FREAKING-LY! It's crazy that many work weeks seem like they drag on, but here we are at the 2nd of May. The 5th month in 2009. Crazy.

This weekend is going to be a blast. I am so excited. Beth and I are leaving for Springfield tomorrow morning to visit H. This is our first time visiting her down there...she always comes to KC to see us.

The three of us together are a trip. We have so much fun together. This weekend won't be any different, I am sure of it. Apparently Springfield has a Cinco De Mayo pub crawl tomorrow evening. If the weather cooperates (which really is not looking good), we will be participating in that. I am definitely looking forward to tomorrow. I will, of course, miss the husband (cheese ball, I know)...but I will deal.
