I am starting to really freak out about the wedding. This weekend is going to be one of the busiest of my life. My mom is driving down to get me right now. Still have to pack things up. I'm so nervous about this weekend that my palms are sweating like crazy. I feel like I'm in high school or something.
Once this weekend is done we'll have a lot of stuff taken care of and that makes me really happy. Now if 1 'clock would roll around so I can go home and get this show on the road. Once I start getting stuff out of the way I'm going to feel so much better.
Yet again, keep reminding myself that in 25 days my white ass will in be in Hawaii.

28 Days
With only 6 weeks until the wedding, Collin and I really felt the need to get into shape. Not just to look good in wedding pictures, or to feel great in Hawaii, but because we want to get healthy while it's still easy. We both want to start having kids shortly after we get married and being in shape will really help with having kids we figure.
So I started a 28 day challenge for myself. The goal is simple. To turn simple activities into habits. I want to turn going to the gym and washing my face twice a day a habit. I'm on day 5 and so far so good. I want to go to the gym twice a week and so far Collin and I have gone three times. It feels awesome.
When we're at the gym doing bench presses we joke about how we'll be able to bench press our kids. (So long as they don't weight more than 'X') That's what I find so enjoyable about weight lifting. I can see that X get bigger each time. I can challenge myself. I feel really powerful after a lifting session. The next two days that I'm sore I just feel like my body is repairing itself and making me stronger and I love that feeling.
It's nice to feel progress even when I can't see it on my love handles... yet. I know that if I keep this up I will see changes, I just have to keep it up!
I've also done awesome on washing my face twice a day so far. My skin freaked out a little bit at first, but it's calming down. It has the shinyness of my youth. Some people don't like to feel shiny. I love it. I feel like I glow.
Glowing is good.

T - 46 days and counting
OMG! Only 46 days until I'm a married woman. I can't wait. We've been together for 7.5 years and I am ready for the next step. So is he. Excitement abounds.
We are steadily crossing things off the list. This past week my fiance and I have paid off the photographer and make-up artist, scheduled my first dress fitting, scheduled my hair-preview, sent out the bridal shower guest list, purchased shoes, ordered my undergarments and I made a necklace and bracelet set to wear for the wedding.
On top of that, I also kept the kitchen sink empty for a week. Which compared to my last post... that's pretty amazing. I also did laundry last week and vacuumed the living room. Collin and I even went to the gym and we're going back tonight!
Something about running out of time always gets my butt in gear. I really do well under pressure. However, the pressure tends to stress me out quite a bit which then leaves me feeling exhausted and nauseous. So to relieve my pressure, I remind myself that in T - minus 48 days, my white behind will be in Maui with my new husband.
And that's all I need.
