Wedding Whoops!

I've been pretty good with the entire wedding planning bit. I've been organized and getting things done on my to-do list. Last night Brent and I finished our last pre-marital counseling at the church. Afterwards I was talking to Sara regarding our invitations. It dawned on me- that we need to order them ASAP! So my to-do list today includes calling the company and ensure the turn-around printing time still fits with our mailing timeline. The invites have been on my mind, I just never got around to the actual ordering. We are pretty excited about our choice though! I can't wait for our guests to see them too! Too fun! I would share here, but that would ruin the surprise, I guess you will just have to wait and see!

Do you ever find yourself forgetting to do important tasks? I hope it's nothing too important.

On other wedding details- we had our food tasting last week. It went great! We narrowed down our food choices and boy were they yummy! I can't wait for everyone else to enjoy the yummies too! This weekend I plan on figuring out reception centerpieces and searching for our unity candle for the ceremony. Who knows, maybe I'll work on other details too! Any suggestions are welcome!

Happy Wednesday friends!

Throwback Thursday- 2007

The shirts Sara and I are wearing- pretty much sums us up! Girls weekend to Chicago. This picture is of Sara and I at Ikea!



Cathleen was living in Chicago at the time- she met up with us to enjoy dinner, drinks and games at Dave and Busters- so much fun!



On the way back to Michigan we stopped at the zoo in Michigan City! Great time with great friends. Makes me want a girls weekend again soon! Love you gals!

So...the thing is...

I'm excited that I've lost 50 pounds. The journey hasn't always been easy, but I feel such a sense of accomplishment!

But you see...there are other things that go along side weight loss. One of them being clothes. Clearly with the loss of pounds, there has been a change in clothing size. Thankfully my great friend Kristyn has passed along clothes as she has grown out of them (as I do once I've grown out of mine too). However, yesterday (a nice and sunny 70 degree day) I wanted to wear shorts or capris and learned that I didn't have any that fit. I will admit it is more fun to go clothes shopping now- it's much better than it was 50 pounds ago. Although, being on a budget, and saving for a wedding doesn't make spending money on clothes very fun! So, I'll slowly be adding things- buying at thrift stores, using sales and clearance prices and taking hand me downs from friends.

Since I've recently joined the gym I've purchased more workout clothes too. I had some luck finding these at JcPenny and Old Navy. Hopefully these pants don't fall down! (Don't laugh! I had that issue!) Soon on the docket to purchase will be some new athletic shoes too. If anyone has suggestions on shoes- I'd love to hear them. Remember though- I'm on a budget.

So you see...the thing is....along with exciting and accomplished things- comes unexpected challenges. I guess that's life! If everything was always good and exciting they wouldn't call it the roller coaster of life!
