    Weeeeeehhhl, we are going on a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera! Stops are in Mazatlan, Puerta Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas.

    Don't judge me but I may just be more excited for the honeymoon than the wedding!

    All diet related:

    - I am down 9 pounds in four weeks
    - I have kept to the 1500 calorie diet and only had two cheat meals during that time.
    - I have not had a Dr. Pepper in four weeks (down from a three a day habit.)
    - I have gotten myself up to 5-6 one hour workouts a week.

    I know 9 pounds isn't huge, but I am so proud of myself!

    Brooke - So jealous! I want to go on another honeymoon! :)

    But it will be pink and blue instead of brown and blue and ours is only three tiers so we are using the top three tiers on this one.  I'm excited!

    Leslie,
    Congratulations!  As someone who needs to do what you're doing, I'm glad for you!

    I try not to talk too much about Disney but I'm so excited!  We're going July 2-9 for our summer vacation.  Bill found out yesterday that he's probably (like 95% sure) that he's going to a conference in Orlando the week before.  We would only have to pay for my airfare and maybe a few days of hotel outside of the conference dates so I will be there for two full weeks!!!!!  So glad I got annual passes!

    Congratulations, everyone, on your AWs this week!

    Sarah - I really like the new design of your cake!
  • edited December 2011
    Congrats to everyone on the awesome honeymoons, weight loss, vacations and cool looking cake.

    I mailed out our invites Tuesday night and two people have already gotten them!  I am really trying to push myself in my workouts only 50 days till the wedding and less than 2 weeks till b-pics!  EEEEKKK

    Thanks Lauren!  It took me a while to pick one out.  I'm so excited about it!

    TDQ,
    That's a beautiful cake.  It's simple and classy.  I'm sure that a lot of bakers can help you out with that.

    Lauren and Sarah,
    Those are both beautiful! 

    Deepthi,
    I may deserve it but at some point I will have to return to reality.  And that, my friend, is a hard crash indeed!

    Yay Brooke and Mandaroo on your honeymoon bookings!  I was much more motivated to finish planning that dang wedding so I can get to the honeymoon part!

    My AW: 

    -My family came down to Houston last weekend for another wedding and they helped me assemble all my invites.  Now I just gotta put a stamp on the reply envelopes and write all of the address, but I'll be ready to send soon!

    -I affixed an earring gem to my shoe so now I have a blingy shoe :)  I don't have any pictures here, sorry.

    -I got my shower dress!  Love ModCloth!  I got the Whipped Butter dress and it came in yesterday and I loved it!

  • edited December 2011
    Thank you!!!! We have not even thought about what area, time frame, etc. We started talking about it when we were watching the home shows. So I went to WellsFargo a last week and filling out paperwork, credit reports, etc. Now we got prequalified!!! WOO!
  • edited December 2011
    Sorry for all the exclamation points but I am so excited. I want to just run and do flips! haha but FI said no, I do not need to be in a cast on the wedding. I said well I guess I will just run and clap my ankles. lol we have this joke going on between us about doing the dumbest things when we get excited about something. We are dorks, can't help it.
