Marriage Counseling already.

This week has been chock full of ups and downs. We have been going so much it is a wonder that we are able to catch our breath.

Peak of the week:
Who would have thought that we would have to take a marriage counseling class and we are not even married yet. Okay, so maybe it was a required class in order to get our license, but we passed! According to our pastor, we are right on track with our lives and we are a very compatible couple. Sigh. What a relief to know that we are "A-O.K" for each other! HA!

To share our wonderful news we invited my parents over for dinner. We also really wanted to use the new crock-pot I received from my Bridal Shower. I have been so caught up with work and plans, I forgot to have a little family time. Being able to unwind some was a nice change.

The parents and I were also able to meet with our wonderful photographer to get some ideas flowing on what pictures we want taken and where. I am feeling very satisfied with how smooth everything is running thus far.

We were able to plan a bit more of our honeymoon. Asheville, NC. A brief vacation will be much needed after the madness.

Pit of the week:

• Putting together 75+ gifts. 

I am only sixteen fans in and I already have no plan to finish them. Whoever came up with the idea of them being the "cutest little thing" should have just kept their mouth shut. Oh hey! That would be me.

• Rain

Yeah apparently it rains in Florida all of the time during the summer. This makes it super tough in order for me to workout. I know it may sound like I am making excuses (though maybe I am) but I really prefer to work outside more than in the gym.

I have 20lbs to go! I have come to the conclusion that I need to have a little more faith in the good Lord and He will show me the way. I know this is the path he has chosen for me and it takes two to tango. Change doesn't occur overnight nor does it happen without a little effort put forth. Okay, so I have slowed down with my exercise. This doesn't mean that I do not want to be a sailor as bad as I did one month or three months ago.

Josh has been a blessing in disguise. He stands by me and cheers me on with every step I take. He pushes me to get some motivation in my bones, which is a big help! He reminds me that it is okay to have a cheat day and that with each  passing day I am one step closer to my goal.

One month and ten days until "I do."
