Thoughts and concerns

It's Sunday funday and I am spending most of my day so far in bed being super lazy.  A lot has been going on with me.  I'm not very good at writing in a typical "story" format but I am a big fan of lists so here it goes:

1. Weight loss so far: I am down to 213 and on the 25th of this month I am going to try to do a 3 month post with pictures. 

2.  Finally broke my plateau, for a couple of weeks my weight was not moving, it was so beyond frustrating but now it is going down again.  I am down to a size 14 and even fit in a 12!  This has proven to be both awesome and uh oh because of SHOPPING.  I need to control urges to shop and use my creativity on my clothing choices I have now. 

3.  Saturday we had engagement photos and it was so exciting, at first it was awkward because trying to be romantic in front of people you don't know is very strange; but I think they turned out great we will see what they look like next week.

4.  Flights are booked and we are getting ready to be married in.... wait for it..... JAMAICA!!  With school and trying to be healthy it was just too much to plan a big affair here, so Steve and I decided we wanted to be on vacation and marry in paradise. 

5.  Although we will plan a reception; a picnic BBQ for friends and family here in Texas, hopefully that planning goes smoothly, so far we are good to go. 

6.  School is so different this year I am not tired all the time, the students for the most part have been better and there are a lot more responsibilities this year.  I am grateful that I can do what I love, and I know that is a rare gift that a lot of people don't get to have.  So I try to everyday have a wonderful time, make my kids laugh, learn and create. 

7.  I am so excited to be a bride and cannot wait to marry Steve people always say things happen at the right time, but you get frustrated and think why isn't it now?  I understand now we are both at a good place and both ready to move forward making our life together "official."  I say that because we have been together for 3 years he's been my "official" one for years now I just get to call him hubby now.
