Been almost two months since Chris and I moved into the apartment. It took us a while, but we finally got many things in order and I think the place looks really good. Of course I haven’t snapped any pictures to add to this post (I suck!) but I will do that soon. We both got desks and they are now put together, so our laptops are no longer sitting on our dining room table. We were having to move them everyday to eat dinner and it was getting very old. So it’s nice to have our little setups in the bedroom. We also did some major cleaning after Liam was here for a week and the place looks pretty good, albeit there are a few clothes strewed here and there.
There are only 3 months and about 3 weeks til the wedding and I have begun trying to lose a little weight to make sure that the dress I bought fits me. We recently got Iphones and they have a million different apps you can use. One is called “Lose It!” and it is a calorie counter you can use. I can keep track of what I eat and how many calories, and it also records my weight and based on the amount I want to lose per week tells me how many calories a day I can have. I’ve been doing Wii Fit to try to burn more calories so that I don’t go over my daily total, and so I don’t starve myself either.
I have my fitting at the end of the month, so my goal is to try to be at least 5 pounds lighter by then. I think I can do it. It’s just a matter of sticking to my goals and passing on things like chocolatey desserts and sodas.
Chris and I will be together for a year in just over a month. I’m hoping that we can book a hotel in Galveston and spend a weekend there alone. We’ve been twice, once together and once with Liam but they were both day trips and I’d really love to actually spend a couple days there, relax, and take my time exploring and just enjoying being away from town.
I think that’s about it for now, hopefully I’ll update more. I have been wanting to update with some of my fitness stuff, just not sure how to do it so we’ll see.
I’ve been working on getting a website created for the wedding. I had one on another site but I wasn’t impressed with the way it turned out. I found the website I used tonight and created another. There is still some information missing, but for the most part the big stuff is there.
Our Wedding Website
Today was another big day in the wedding planning. I won’t be able to give too many details, because Chris can’t read this and he’s not allowed to know, but today the plans for the wedding gained some real ground. My mother, sisters and Alyssa and I went to David’s Bridal and had my consultation for my gown and the others we needed. It was a very successful day for us, much more so than I expected. I wasn’t even sure I would find a dress that I even liked, and it turns out the one for me was the very first one I even tried on.
It was reasonably priced, though it could have been a couple hundred less for my liking. The alterations are what really make the price tag skyrocket. But, I was able to find a dress that I love and for that I can’t really complain. We also found Alyssa’s flower girl dress, which we’re going to reuse the month after mine and Chris’s wedding for Jennifer’s. Jennifer is my adopted sister who is getting married in August.
We also were able to find the bridemaid dresses for Shelly and Jen. They are going to be apple red, but of a different style. I think it’ll be nice for them to have a different look but it will all tie in together because of the color and the flowers, which will be the same.
We were able to also get our invitations. They are in red writing, with a raised heart design and the envelopes have a red insert. We also got some really cute napkins with a boy and girl kissing and our names underneath them
I think Chris will like them too. I wish he could be more involved in these sorts of planning things, but I suppose its just the natural thing for guys not to be as involved. He probably would wish he wasn’t as involved if he actually got to be, it’s very tiring.
I’m exhausted from the day we had. Wedding dress fittings are really uncomfortable, especially if the shoes you’re using just to test the height you need are like shoes from hell. But it’s all worth it in the end to know that I’ll feel pretty when I walk down the aisle to become Mrs. Nixon
