Maid of Honor

My best friend Brooke is getting married to the man of her dreams, Scott. I have known Brooke for about 7 years, we met while working at Discover Card. In March Scott was offered a great promotion at work...The only down side was that they had to move to California. But even now that they don't live here we are still as close as ever, probably even closer than we were before. Over July 4th weekend Scott proposed to Brooke! I was so excited for her that after we got off the phone I started crying. Since it looks like I may never be getting married I told Brooke that I was going to be living vicariously through her. I started searching the internet for a place for them get married, looking for wedding dresses, photographers, catering...Everything.

I was hoping that Brooke would ask me to be a bridesmaid...I would feel so priviledged...This past weekend Derek and I went to California to visit Brooke and Scott...Brooke asked me to be her Maid of Honor!

Working on #18

Mom, Dad and I joined the gym a week ago. I am working on #18 on my Things to Do Before I Die list...I met with my Personal Trainer for the first time on Thursday. I told her what my goals are as far weight loss, I don't really need to loose a lot of weight, but I need to firm up all over. When we were doing my measurements she told me that I have great legs and don't really need to work on them that much. I told her that I wanted to focus on loosing my gut since I have had it for as long as I can remember...So what does she do? She has me work my legs so much that I can barely move. It's Sunday and I am still in pain! I meet with her again on Tuesday...I really hope that we don't do any leg exercises...I don't know if I can handle it.

It's my B-day...I'm 29...again!

I don't feel 29, I don't look 29, I definitely don't act like I am 29...I am of the belief that age is a matter of feeling, not years. I don't think I have ever really acted my age. On a good note, Derek will be 38 this year...Hee Hee! I don't have any plans for my birthday, I think this is actually the first time since I turned 21 that I don't have anything planned. My God, maybe I am getting old!!!!! When I become President I will make it a law that you will not have to work on your b-day! It will be a paid day off. Not only am I stuck at work today, but I even had to dress up because we have guests coming in today :( Those who know me, know that I hate, I mean I really hate to have to dress up. I guess it could be worse I could actually be working instead of writing in my blog...

Is it really already August???

Where does the time go? I can't believe it's already August...Today is my parents 33 year anniversary. I hope that if/when I get married that I will be as happy as they are together. This morning I called to tell them happy anniversary, and of course dad is playing golf. I asked mom this morning if she was ready to trade dad in for a younger model, she said "Hell no, it took this long for me to train him..."

Nothing too exciting has been going on, but here is a quick update.

I am happy to say that I have not had any anxiety attacks in a while, I love my therapist, she is wonderful. Derek decided to join a gym this week...he wants to get in shape. So of course I have started to really work out, God forbid he should ever look better than I do, I've lost more than 10 lbs. Mom and I are going to join a gym together, this way we can be each others motivation. Cheyanna's dance recital was last weekend, she did a great job, I can't believe she starts kindergarten this year. Brianna on the other hand is a Freshman in H.S. this year.

Work sucks! Two of the girls that I have become really good friends with have left the company. They are both teachers and were offered more money from another school. I don't thing money is the reason they left...I think it is all the drama, I have been trying to steer clear of it, but in such a small company it's hard to do. As much as I like what I do, I have been considering finding a new job. I have realized that I could get paid so much more for the work that I do, so for me it is a money issue.

Well, that's it for now...Like I said nothing too exciting.
