So.....

Well, now that it's been almost an entire year since I last updated this blog, and I've had some major life/life-plan changes, I figure it's time I start getting into the habit of posting on this blog more. After all, who would I be if I didn't become one of those cutesy, blog-writing, fashionista newlyweds?

That's right.

In case someone out there hasn't heard, I am engaged. WOO HOO!

Except for the waiting part.

Seriously I didn't think it would suck this bad. The question "Are we married yet?" pops up at least twice a day between my fiancee and I. Speaking of the devil....

Ain't we so cute?

Seriously, the three things I see in this picture are : Garrett is actually smiling like he likes getting his picture taken ( quite a feat with him!), how short I look next to him even with my 7-inch booster heels (I call them the 'Garrett heels'. Seriously, the one human being on the face of the earth that would be perfectly content with never having to take a step in any sort of heels is marrying someone 15 inches taller than her. God definitely has a sense of humor), and finally, the awful shape of my saggy butt.

But don't worry, I am working on that, 5-6 days a week. Up until this week I was on a pretty regular routine with going to the gym, but the universe decided I hadn't had any "near-death" experiences lately, so allergies and strep throat and crazy hormones hit me all in the same week.

And can I tell you how discouraging it is to have been working out for 10 weeks pretty consistently without losing any weight, only to get sick and lose 5 pounds overnight? Still not sure if the trade off is worth it though.

Anyways, this post is rather long, and I hope to be updating it much more frequently so that the one or two readers out there can know the little things that happen in my boring life, but before I go, this will show you how bored/OCD I am when I'm sick and don't really feel like doing anything productive:

After

And I wonder why people at work think I am crazy when I have all the chicken breasts facing the same way on the grill.
