Busy week

This week has already been declared "not cool." I had a really hard test today but ended up doing really well on it, I was pleased. Now I'm starting the first of four essays that are due this Friday for my online history class. Call me a bad American but I really don't care about Alexander Hamilton's financial plans for the new government and who supported them and who didn't. Or the causes and effects of the war of 1812. Sorry, don't care. Show me some x-rays and I'll be happy, haha.

But some good news about the wedding planning. We have officially reserved our reception place, soooo excited about it too. It's going to be so pretty. And my friend is getting married two weeks before Kyle and I and they are having their reception at the same place. It has been fun sharing ideas and getting super excited together :) I also went and picked up my dress and all that good stuff. It's sooooo pretty!! I have not been very impressed with the professionals at David's Bridal though. Sweet innocent me had to get mean with one of the ladies when she tried to charge us for something we told her we didn't want the first 4 times. ughhh. They just don't listen! But anyways... hopefully this week will be over soon enough! I'm ready to have fun this weekend when we go see Ava and celebrate her first birthday! Cuteness :)

First day of training

Ok, so I'm training to run a 5K. Kyle and I are teaming up with some people from church and decided to get our lazy butts in shape. Today was DAY 1 of training. I'm starting at 1.5 miles just because that's how far it is from my house to the main road and back. I'm trying to remember some training skills from track practice so right now I'm just running distances and not worrying about time. After I get up to 4 miles I'll start timing myself. But when you first start training, endurance is more important than speed. (I really did listen to Coach Daddy sometimes, haha) After a couple of weeks I'm going to step it up a little bit. It was rough at first since it's been 3 years since I've ran consistantly. But I made it and I am feeling pretty good night now. And yes, I suck up the cold and run outside because I despise running on the treadmill. It tricks your body into thinking you can run the same distance in the same amount of time on real streets. It's fine if you just want to burn some calories, but if you're training for a race you need to run on real ground. All you have to do on a treadmill is move your legs, the ground is moving for you. Running on the street, you have to push yourself forward and move your legs. I don't want my body to get all wussy. I'm not trying to hate on all of you dedicated treadmill runners, no no, I'm just saying is all. OK, off the soapbox.
I really miss running. It's such a good stress reliever. And definitely gets you into shape faster than anything else but swimming. Well I will keep you updated more on the wedding stuff later, just thought I would throw that bit of information at ya! Have a great week

So far...

Since I got sent home early from the hospital because I'm sick, I thought I would update my blog. The wedding plans are going well so far. We still have over a year to plan which is wonderful, because I don't like getting all stressed out. We picked a date: March 15, 2008. And we are getting married at our church in Apex and our absolutely wonderful youth pastor is marrying us. Kyle and I are very excited that he agreed to do it, we both think very highly of him and his family. We have also picked a reception site, it's going to be at a country club in Fuquay. That's kind of cool. And I have my dress (yeah it's a little early but it's beautiful!) And I have four bridesmaids that have agreed to be a part of my special day! (My two sisters, Courtney and Crystin) Oh yes, and I can't forget Elizabeth, my wedding planner. She's been wonderful so far and a super big help, full of great ideas. Anyways... I'll keep everyone updated. That's it for now! Have a wonderful week!
