@AuroraRose41 Beautiful park! I would spend all my free time there.

@futuremrshistorian I LOVE TURKISH FOOD! Your dinner sounds fabulous. I may have drooled on the keyboard lol.

@bethsmiles I hope you guys get some answers ASAP about your mom! Sending tons of T&P your way.

@labro is it bad that I am actually considering that as a honeymoon option if our budget gets too stretched for Ireland? I have no idea what Austria would be like in July but hey we could get free airfare (using miles) and have accomodations taken care of so it might be an option. 

@eilis1228 I know! I love both parks actually. The pioneer feel of the one is charming and the one with the lake is breathtaking. I think FI wants to go have a picnic there next weekend. Also your shower looked amazing! I am glad you had such a great time!

Also, I forgot to tell you ladies something else. I started designing our Save The Dates this weekend! I think I have the front of it done, but I haven't quite decided if I like it yet. FI likes it and thinks I did a good job (especially for someone who has never been into design before) but I would love some more opinions. Unfortunately it is saved on my home computer, so I can't AW it until I get home from work.

@lavenderfields13 - 5 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! also thought of you this morning bc im starting to notice thinning from my laser treatment (which was 10 days ago...she said it would take 1-2 weeks so im right on track). SO EXCITING!

@labro congrats on the weight loss! what is the diet that youre doing?

@caseface5 omg that stove!!!!! i fully expect you to host many boston NEY get togethers and use that sucker to cook us some delicious noms

@aplacina eek sorry about your phone in the toilet! hopefully it was a clean toilet?

@swazzle i thought of you as i watched the belmont! how exciting!! i even told BF 'one of the girls from TK is there!'

i had a blah weekend. BF was in a crap mood yesterday so he was being difficult and i was being cranky bc i wanted to have a nice day bc starting today he is away until sunday night for work. it should be a VERY busy and VERY lucrative week  though, so that will make it worth it.

tomorrow is my 2nd weigh in on NutriSystem. im nervous. i have been 100% on track except yesteday i cheated a little. im more concerned about the salt from the food i ate than the actual food itself. im trying to drink extra water today to compensate!

@eilis1228 YAY! you look gorgeous! glad you had such a wonderful time at your shower! it looks like it was a lot of fun!!!

@AuroraRose41 I would say GO FOR IT!! We went to Salzburg, Austria in late October and it was pretty miserable....so I imagine that July is absolutely gorgeous. Everything in the area is SO close too so it would be easy to hop a train and do lots of day trips in Austria and the Bavarian region of Germany if you wanted.

@jenjen047 I'm trying out a program called Eat This Much.

@labro I will have to look into it more!

It's the last full week of school!!!! 4 more days this week, then 4 days of finals next week! BF and I went home to MD for the weekend. Saturday we went to the Baltimore zoo for BF's niece's birthday, then went to his grandparents' 50th anniversary party! Sunday I just hung out at my parents' house and worked on some end-of-year assignments for my kids. It's bittersweet to be almost done!
