Speedbumps

Two unfortunate events occurred last night. First, the wedding work out plan has come to a screeching halt. Not, as some may assume because I'm a lazy ass though. While working out on Friday, Ryan and I noticed the elliptical was making an odd noise. I of course said "It's Fine" and kept plugging along. However, on Sunday when i attempted to work out again, it became apparent all was not fine as the noise had gotten louder. Upon removing the wheel cover, we discovered the belt had sliced in half and was hanging off. I would like to assume this was from the rigorous exercise i had been doing. Sadly, the safer bet is that it was never put together right. So, due to the holiday weekend, I shall be calling Nordictrack on Tuesday and getting full use out of our warranty. Stay tuned for the drama on that one.

The second unfortunate event involves our honeymoon. Ryan and I had planned to go to Hawaii...although at random times he still insists on going to Europe, not for the romance, but to attend a motorcycle race. I think not. Good thing for me, he has no passport. In any case, the plan was to go to Hawaii. However, upon further review, to stay where I wanted to stay and do the things we wanted to do, the cost was looking to be about $10k. Ryan almost went through the roof when I shared this small detail with him. So, I am now taking suggestions on Honeymoon options and have been given a strict budget of $5k.
