Opposites Attract...

So this week here's what's been on my mind. I am the luckiest girl in the world. In my opinion anyway. I know that I often talk about how my TV is going to be taken over by my husband because of basketball season and that he sometimes makes me crazy. But this week I was informed that two of my friends are getting divorces. One of those friends I never in a million years would have dreamed would go through something like this. From what I could see, they were made for eachother. Anyway, it made me take a long hard look at my relationship. I am so thankful for the man that I'm married to. He is the strength when I am weak. He's the one person in this world that I trust more than anything. I love him more than I could ever describe in words. I have thought alot about our relationship, how it started, how it has progressed over these last 7 years, all week. There's alot of things I haven't thought about in a very long time. I actually got out my wedding album this week and looked at it. I can remember how I felt that day. My heart has never been so full. I feel like I have been blessed beyond what I deserve sometimes. He & I are complete opposites. He likes the great outdoors and I like to be inside doing creative things or cooking. He likes to be very neat and orderly while I'm a little untidy at times. He thinks that mair and makeup are stupid and I think it's outrageous for me to go anywhere without it. We have so many different things that we don't always see eye to eye on. But the one thing that is always constant is how much we love eachother. He's the most amazing person I think I've ever been blessed to know. I'm glad that I can call him my husband.

A Little Dirt Never Hurt

So this week I decided to get my hands dirty and do some "spring cleaning" around this house. I convinced my husband to help me rearrange my living room. For those of you that don't know my husband, this was no easy task. I finally got him to help me on Friday. This was after I had attempted it on my own on Tuesday and he has no idea that ever happened.....let's keep it that way! Anyway I cleaned the floors, mopped, dusted, vacuumed, windexed....pretty much any kind of cleaning product that could be used got used. It looks alot better and I really like it. I can't wait to show it off.

Nothing else has really been going on this week. I have successfully cut myself down to one 12 oz can of soda a day. Next week I start my diet......I am hoping I don't starve to death....right now that is looking like a possibility. But this week I did lose 7 pounds just by cutting back on all my coke drinking. I was kinda excited about that! Anyway, I don't have anything else really exciting to share. I just thought I'd share all of this. It's been a little while since I last blogged. Oh and the picture above is from a photoshoot I did with my friend Ashley. That's her wedding dress....we did some pretty pictures in it and then we trashed it. It was a blast! I'll add a pretty picture or two at the bottom for your viewing pleasure!

Diet & exercise....

First of all let me just say that I am not a big fan of exercise. I will be honest and say that fat girls don't like to sweat....at least this one doesn't. Well, I have decided that I want to start getting myself into some kind of shape. I don't know what has taken over my body and made me decide to get into shape but I have been going to the gym and walking and lifting for about 6 months. At first I lost weight.....now not so much. So I have decided to start taking a yoga class from a friend of mine. That coupled with my current gym workout and a new diet....surely something will kick things up, right?? So hopefully by the time summer comes around I'll be working my way thin....maybe. The diet I'm going to try is called "The Smash Fat Diet" by Dr. Ian K. Smith from Celebrity Fit Club. It's actually a pretty healthy diet. I've done some research on alot of different diets and this one stuck out to me. I've watched Celebrity Fit Club and they always lose alot of weight. So that's what I think I'm going to try. I am going to start it in a week. I have to give myself a week to quit drinking cokes. We shall see how this goes. Quitting cokes isn't going to be easy for me. I drink one everyday before work. Hopefully this won't make me crazy. So everybody say prayers for me. I really want to do this. I usually get what I want when I'm determined.

Vampires....

So last week we were watching Saturday Night Live. I discovered this band that I have become obsessed with. Problem is I can't find thier CD anywhere locally. I'm very upset by this. The band is called Vampire Weekend. They are very upbeat and SO cool. Very tribal and just interesting. I'm telling you, they make my heart happy to listen to them. I just adore them. So if anyone out there can tell me where I can buy the actual CD please send me a link....something. I have found it on iTunes but I'd prefer to have the actual CD for this band. I have a feeling that the CD jacket has some cool stuff inside and I'm very interested to see it! Here's the link to the video for Giving Up The Gun . I hope you like it!

Why I watch...

The Gilmore Girls

I am a big Gilmore Girls fan. I DVR this show every single day. It has become like one of my "stories". The last new episode aired in 2006, but, I have kept taping it and watching it everyday. This show is about a Mom and daughter who have a freakishly close knit relationship. They are best friends. I love this show. I have been watching it for a long time. Lorelai & Rory have this open and honest relationship that reminds me alot of my relationship with my own Mom. I think maybe that is why I love this show so much.

My Mom is my best friend. She's been such an amazing presence in my life. I don't know what I would do without her. She's always there when I need her. I just love her. I just want to take a minute to show a little appreciation for her today. She's just such an amazing person. I love her more than words could ever express. She's a very wonderful lady and if someday I am half the Mom she is....I will have truly accomplished something awesome.
