Good News!

It was completely ridiculous to worry about the engagement shoot. So silly. It was actually a lot of fun and I never once felt fat, ugly, or uncomfortable! Blake let me see some of the good ones on the car ride to lunch, but I can't wait see all of the pictures. I will be sure to share some of them with you, my faithful readers.

I think that there was one specific thing that made me feel a little more confident about the shoot. On Friday, my trainer took my 6 week measurements.  (She measures me every 3 weeks) In the last 3 weeks I have lost a total of 10 inches from my waist, bicep (right one), thigh (right one), hips, and chest! Even though the scale hasn't shown much of a change - 7lbs total - the measurements DO NOT LIE! Raise your glass to losing fat and gaining muscle!!
I was very pleased with the results and it definitely made me feel like all this hard work dieting and exercising wasn't for nothing. The next 3 weeks involve a lot of running and stairs so I look forward to seeing more positive results!

Yesterday, Ian and I went down to blustery Downtown Seattle to polish up our registry at Macy's. You know, registering is a blast. Ian's favorite part is shooting each item with the scanner. The lady helping us wasn't surprised that Ian wanted to be in charge of the scanner - I think it's pretty common that the groom wants to operate the gun.

All the invitations have been sent! We bought cheesy wedding stamps and I used a nib and drawing ink to write out 100 addresses. We have already received a few RSVPs. Hopefully the rest will pour in soon. 

Now, if I could just find some damn wedding shoes. Suggestions?

In other news, Ian has a phone interview tomorrow for the Assistant Director of Residential Life position at Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio! Yes, Ohio. Not the ideal location, but it is a good job. It's nice to get a positive response on the job-front. So everyone send prayers, thoughts, good juju, positive vibes, and warm fuzzies to Ian and ONU tomorrow around 11am!


thanks for listening!
