Getting into shape

So... Getting back into shape.. Oh boy.. oh boy.. So lyle and I have decided we are going to start eating more healthy and work out more and we have been doing this for about a month now (thats amazing).  We started out running after work again like we used to and we did that really well for a while but then it started to just not interest me, I cant run for a long period of time and it was just not helping me I was losing interest fast.. So I thought maybe we should start swimming and then running like once a week if we get bored of swimming.. Well I do have to say we have been swimming for over 2-3 weeks every night after work (we are slackers on our weekend)  We have enjoyed it and havent tried talking ourselves out of it.  I think its been great for the both of us we both talk about how we feel much better after we work out.  I do have to say my motivation is I have already bought my wedding dress and it fits perfect, so I cant gain or lose much or it wont fit right when the wedding day so I have a motivation so it has helped me.  :) 

WEDDING PLANS

Ok so our wedding planning has been crazy and so up and down.. But this is the plan, We are gonna do the actual wedding in his home town in Florida.  I cant wait!!  We decided not to do it on the beach because the beach closest to his home town is the golf coast, and the sand is not what you think of when you think of the beach, and the water is more of a brown color not a clear blue.  And the bugs... Oh boy with the bugs be so bad down by the ocean in April and so we have decided to do the wedding on the River down there.  So your thinking small rivers or wide rivers like we have out her.. NO the rivers out there they actually drive boats and water sky and all that stuff in the rivers.. Its so awesome!  But a family friend is helping us in trying to get a home on the river to use and do the wedding in the back yard down on the river and if by chance it does rain (VERY HIGH CHANCE) we will have a place to go inside. :) 

So our decorations arent going to be sea shell anymore, well because we arent doing it at the ocean.. We are just gonna do beta fish as our center peices, and for our cake we are not 100% sure on that.  WE do have our colors picked out and they will be baby blue and hot pink with some black. So for the tables we are thinking black table clothes with pink and blue ribbons and the blue beta fishes with pink rocks in the bottom of the tanks... :)  We are just wanting a small arch to do the cerimony under nothing too crazy just simple.  We are making our own invitations so that has been kinda stressful.  We have been using friends to take our pictures and are having some trouble getting some that we both love.. So we are still working on those :)  we are trying to save up the money for our wedding and boy does it cost some money to put one of these things together... But can I say it will be the best day of our lives.. We cant wait to get married, Lyle keeps saying that April wont get her fast enough, not sure if its so he can go home and see his family or get married ;)  Its been great planning and so excited to get it going.. Cant wait to be able to start buying things for the wedding..

SLACKER

I am ready to admit I am a slacker when it comes to blogging. I think if we had a computer at home I would do much better.  But we don't so therefore I am the worst blogger out there, I leave out so much.  Well right know in life Lyle and I are focused on planning our wedding. We are very excited to get married in Florida but at the same time I am stressing about planning the wedding because its so far away.  Its hard to set up things when you are over 2200 miles away from where your wedding is going to be. But I wouldn't have it any different.  We are so excited, actually sometimes I start to think Lyle is way more excited than me.  Like the last couple weekends on our days off he has been getting onto me to go look for a dress... LOL He has been bugging me and bugging me so we went both last weekend and the weekend before that, and well this last weekend we FOUND me a dress in our price range and I love it.. Honestly its exactly what I was hoping to find. I love it so much. I don't know if I should be putting pictures of it up yet because my goodness our wedding is like 9 months away still... BUT I JUST LOVE IT!!!  I am just hoping to stay the same size until the wedding gets here. Because I would be so sad if the dress didn't fit me come the wedding.  But that is a great motivation to stay healthy and keep exercising.. RIGHT?!?!  Well we also have all the stuff for the invitations, except the pictures... :(  But we are working on that and excited to start working on the invitations just to get them put together and set aside to kinda get what we need all finished as soon as we can.  Lyle is trying to push and get everything done that we can do early and just set it aside until we need it. lol So our wedding plans are kinda coming together. Its been tough keeping to our small/tight budget but oh boy is it going to be worth it.  I cant wait to be married to my best friend!  He is amazing and I just love him so much.  Don't get me wrong we have our days.. but He is still the best Fiance ever!!  I love him so much and he means the world to me.  WE work hard for all we have and that's worth my love and forever with him.
