Short Update

Things have been very busy for me in these last couple of months. I feel like it has been forever since I last updated, and I'm not really sure where to start. Wedding plans have been going smoothly...but wedding expenses have not followed suit. It is very stressful now that we only have two more months left and lots of money left to pay. But I know that everything will work out fine in the end. I get my wedding dress back next Wednesday and it will be very exciting to see how it fits once all the alterations are done. Josh booked our "after-wedding vacation". I hesitate to call it a honeymoon because I would like to go to Sandals in Antigua or Hawaii but we won't be able to for a while. But hey...maybe we will just have two honeymoons. As of yet, we will be in St. Petersburg for a week. I'll be happy as long as there is a beach to go to.
I have also been trying to lose a few pounds before the wedding. It helps that I had crazy food poisoning last week that had me expelling everything I ate. I lost about five pounds but once I started eating solid foods again....I gained most of it back. Now that I am better though, I am able to get back in the gym and work out and that has been great. Last night I did a two hour workout...first with my favorite kickboxing class and then with a boxing circuit. I really want to get my own boxing gloves and punchign bag now. Since I am working at the gym now, I try to make myself workout when my shift is done....there really shouldn't be an excuse since I'm already at the gym.
School is rapidly approaching its end. I'm a little sad because I have been teaching these kids for two years now....but I'm also pretty excited because some of them have just given up in this last month and it is very frustrating trying to motivate students who have quit before they even walk in the building.
On another note....I started writing again. I would really like to try to write a book and get it published. It will be a compilation of short stories that are exaggerated tales of teaching, college and wedding planning/relationships. I like what I have accomplished so far...but I'm sure it will be very time consuming and with two jobs and a wedding to plan...it is likely that I won't be done for a while. Well I think I have covered most of my bases. I hope everyone has a GREAT DAY!
