off to a great start! :)

Sorry I havent blogged in a couple weeks! The new year has already brought a lot of good times! Lee and I are so blessed with wonderful family and friends who support us! We've started our workout regimen again! Ever since our trip to Minnesota we've gotten out of the swing of things! We ate so much food on that trip I think we both gained at least 5 pounds! We tried to get back into the workout when we got back but its just too hard around the holidays sooooooo many parties! We celebrated New Years Day with a hike and have continued our workouts ever since! I'm starting to feel better again and my clothes already fit better!
It's exactly 5 months till my best friend's wedding and we're getting super excited! Last weekend I helped her fill out her Save the Date's and we planned when to have the shower and the bachelorette party! Im going to get my dress in the next couple of weeks! They're so pretty! I love helping her plan her wedding..I've given her some ideas and she's given me a ton of ideas as well! This week I'm going to meet her florist! he's ordered samples of the flowers for the wedding and we get to go see them! This florist is totally by word of mouth and doesnt advertise his services and Jen heard of him through a friends mom! She's gotten ALL of her flowers for extremely cheap and I'm talking...ceremony, bridesmaids, groomsmen, centerpieces..everything! Thank God I have a great hook-up! :)
This weekend Lee and I went to see Bride Wars! I love wedding movies! Lee didn't want to see it, but of course it was my turn to pick a movie and that's what I picked! It was hilarious and Lee liked it too! We made a date out of it..dinner with some gift cards we got for Christmas and then a movie! Saturday we had a suprise party for my mom's birthday! Lee's mom was coming into town and she went with us! We're so fortunate that our families love each other so much and that both sides are very accepting! I've seen relationships before where the mother of the bride can't stand the future son-in law and they fought all the time and where the grooms family could see right through the future bride! I just cant believe how perfectly it all worked out for us. God had a definite hand in it all! That night, after Lee's mom left we had wine and snuggled on the couch to a couple of movies! Wonderful! Yesterday we went to the greenwood...a yummy restaurant in Botetourt and had brunch! Then we suprised Jason with some lunch...he had an appendectomy this week! he's doing much better but he had us worried there for a minute! I love jason! he's genuinely a crazy guy but so kind-hearted! he's on a skimpy diet so we bought him a ton of yogurt ..it should last him a few days! Feel better soon, Gimpy! :)
After leaving Jason's we headed over to the grocery store to do our shopping for the week...when we're on our diet we have to plan out our meals and its crazy but we LOVE doing it! most people hate going to the grocery store but I absolutely love it! I love taking my time and reading everything and seeing everything..because I LOVE cooking and I'm always trying to make new things! Last nite I made homemade chicken noodle soup and melted whole wheat cheese bread! YUMMMMMMO! we dipped the bread into the soup and it was fabulous! I made enough leftover for us to have lunch today! Tonite we're going on another date together because Lee is dying to see his manly movie...so we'll probably do dinner too! We have to go tonite because I'm busy the rest of the week! School starts this week! I can't beleive it! it seems like I just finished! I'm sooooo thrilled to be done with Math..im so terrible at it! This semester should be a lot easier..I'm so much better with history (yes US HISTORY!) one of my requirements for teaching! I'm also taking two internet courses along with this class! I will be taking a few classes in the summer and we're hoping by fall that I'll be going full time to school!!
Well..that's all for now...busy busy! Have a great week everyone!! :)
