TOESNTHESND

We are having an AHR but its more of a party than anything. And its also an excuse to wear my wedding dress again. We are having a DJ too and no cake either just desserts. We are going to have a slide show made from the pics in Mexico and are probably going to hand out something "Mexico" inspired. Maybe maracas or something? For the centerpieces we are doing flowers (dont know which kind) with limes on the bottom like what we are doing for Mexico and then every other table I have a little project in mind, but nothing set in stone. I will have to post a pic of my idea that I took from his dads 60th bday party.

I am so excited to hear a great review about Edith's! I just made reservations for our RD in October, they were very quick at responding to emails. I am getting so excited, I don't know if I can wait 5 more months!!

Thanks girls for all your lists, I better get a move on!

So Kevin and I are going to take some salsa type lessons in a few months since we are getting married in Mexico. He thought it would be fun but nothing over the top, just to go with the Mexico theme. Besides he says he moves pretty good for a big guy and wants to boogy!

I was using Retin-A for a while but like someone said before it makes your skin so dry! Now I only use it every now and then. I started to get facials, microderm, and using Epicuren last month. I have noticed a great change in my overall skin tone and it is helping with my hyperpigmentation. The bad thing about having dark skin is when I break out (which is not too often), it turns dark and it drives me freakin crazy!

Thanks Jilly. Now that my FI shift changed (2pm-10pm) it makes it eaiser to go to the gym after work cause there is no one home to hang out with so I just hit the gym.

Last night I did lats and cardio 20 on stairmaster and 30 minutes on the treadmill.

Monday I did shoulders and cardio. Since I am going to the gym 4-5 days a week now, my FI has me doing one movement per day. Which by the way is killing me!! I skipped last night cause some friends and I went to a red wine class. It was so much fun.

That is funny Sarah. Believe me Kevin was hard to motivate at first. But then he just felt guilty when I would come home and I would say what a good work out I had. I bought him two shirts online from this place he likes in SF, but I am holding them hostage til the end of this week. I told him no working out, no shirts!

I went to the gym tonight before I came to work tonight. I did legs and cardio for 50 minutes. I am working OT til 7pm-7am! I work day shift so this should be a struggle, but hey I need to buy more things for the wedding!

These are the two I like so far.

I am not paying for the dresses, but I am buying cute sandals to go with it and their jewlery.

I am also wearing my dress again for the AHR so no trash the dress for me. Although I might get a dress to trash for our day after pics, I havent decided yet.

Sarah you are such a little Martha, I love it! Hey where did you get the envelopes printed at?

Thats great Sarah! I think I now offically motivated my FI. When we met we both worked out 5 days a week solid and it has been a struggle to get back into that routine. He says its just happiness that made us gain weight. I told Kevin if he works out 4 days a week that every two weeks I will get him a little treat! So far so good, its our fourth day working out together

When I got engaged I started buying mags but my first real wedding item was our save the dates.

Ok Sarah I feel better now. I did an hour of weights at the gym and another hour of cardio!

Holy sh** Sarah you are awesome. You just inspired me to work my a** off today at the gym!

I will be gone from work 19 days!!! I just keep counting down the days!!!

So I started doing weights first then cardio. I read in my mag that this is better for weight loss. If you are training for a marathon though do cardio first. I also read for you girls that don't like to lift weights that it takes 40 minutes of lifting to benefit! I set my timer just in case I want to quit!

Two are wearing the clover color and two are wearing the fushia.

We are going shopping for his suit in a few weeks, I hope we find something he likes. Either way I am on a mission to find a tie like this.

You guys look so cute! Where did you get those super cute take out boxes? Love them!

I picked this cake for the wedding, but with lime green instead of brown since those are our wedding colors. I wanted something simple, and I know if I keep buying mags then I will never make up my mind.

This is our idea for boutonniere, I found them on theknot. It took forever to find one Kevin liked. He said he didn't want to wear a huge flower on his shirt. Picky boys!

I just ordered this cake topper last week, but with pink crystals. I bought it on ebay.

We picked out the BM dresses and two of the four girls already ordered them! Woo Hoo
