Brooke & Scott

Since I write about Brooke & Scott a lot and everyone will reading about all the details of their upcoming wedding, I figured it would be good for you to be able to put a face with name...I love this picture of them and they look so great together...They are so lucky to have each other!

Busy Weekend

Brooke and Scott were in AZ for the weekend to work on wedding plans. I never realized how much went into getting married and planning a wedding. We started at 8:00am on Friday, first we went to Bellasera, where the wedding will take place...It is beautiful. Then it was off to taste cake, meet w/ a DJ, taste more cake, then meet with a caterer. We finished up the day a little bit early so that was nice. On Saturday we started bright and early again, 8:30am...we tasted more cake, met with 2 photgraphers, a florist, and a couple more DJ's. Saturday night was definetly more relaxing, we hung out at Brooke's mom and dad's house, had some dinner and a few drinks. Even as busy as the weekend was it was still alot of fun.

Tired Boy!!

Titus and Kenny had a pretty busy day yesterday too with all of the people here. I don't think Kenny's tail or Titus's little nub stopped waggin' the whole afternoon. The dogs got a long great, which was a relief since in the past there had been a jealousy issue. After everyone clearned out Titus and Kenny were both asleep within minutes, only waking to eat dinner...then today, I was wondering were Titus was and found him a sleep in the back yard. I couldn't resist taking this picture...he is still so tuckered...poor baby!

Justin's 18th B-day!

Yesterday was Justin's 18th B-day...We had a nice little get together for family and friends. Derek grilled some hamburgers and hotdogs, overall I would say we had a pretty good turn out, from both Derek's side of the family and my side of the family. Justin got cards with money from everyone, and Derek tried to tell him that his 1st rent check was due, but he woudn't go for it. Of course the money was burnin' a hole in his pocket before the night was over and he wanted to go out to spend it. I have been sick since last Thursday and was still draggin' ass yesterday. I didn't take very many pictures and as you can see here the ones that I did take weren't very good.

Derek is still working on finding a car for Justin, nothing real expensive, but something that is reliable. Justin needs to stop ditching school first and pull his head out of his ass in order to deserve a car. On a positive note, since Justin is an adult now, if Derek or I need to smack him around or anything like that it will no longer be assult on a minor...Just Kidding :)

I Cheated...

The most important part of any workout plan or plan to lose weight is your diet. It makes up 80% of your success. Oops! On Saturday, Derek and I went to see 40 Year Old Virgin...I was so funny, what a great movie. Anyway, if you go to the movies you have to get popcorn, with lots of butter, isn't it like a law or something? Then I really didn't feel like cooking anything for dinner, and I hadn't had Mexican food in a while...We had Macayos take out, mini chimis and chip & salsa, and it was soooo good!!! Yesterday when my trainer saw my journal she was so mad at me...I tried to explain to her that I thought Salsa counts as a vegetable, but she didn't go for it. To make matters worse we checked my weight, I haven't lost a pound...And it's not because I am gaining muscle...My lean muscle mass has actually decreased. But on a good note I have lost 4 inches...3 of them around my waist. Needless to say, because I cheated on my diet, my trainer had me do the "I didn't stick to my meal plan" workout...OMG!!! I am so sore today!

#18 Update

Well, this is my fourth week at the gym...As of last Tuesday I hadn't lost weight. However, my pounds of body fat has decreased by 7 pounds. I absolutely love working with my trainer...She doesn't let me wimp out. Not only do I work out with her twice a week, and do at least 30 minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week, but we also came up with a meal plan, I have one issue with this, the amount of calories I am supposed to be eating. I like to munch on food throughout the day, and not necessarily junk food. Before I started working out I was lucky if I was eating 1000 calories a day. I wasn't doing this intentionally, but I get busy work, sometimes too busy to sit down and eat right. So now, I am supposed to be eating 1500-1700 calories a day...I feel like a cow, like I am full all of the time. I will have to do another weigh in next week, just to make sure that I am not gaining weight.

Dresses

I have had quite a few poeple ask me about Brooke's wedding dress and the dress that her Bride's Maids will be wearing...so here they are.



Okay, here is the dress that Brooke will be wearing for her big day...This picture doesn't even begin to do justice for how absolutely amazing she looks in it. As you can see in the picture the gown is beaded with metallic embroidery on the bodice and it has some on the train as well. The train is a long gorgeous chapel train.




And here is the dress that the Bride's Maids will be wearing. I can only hope that I will look this good in it. The good thing it has an empire waist, which hides my gut and as a bonus it makes my boobies look big.
