Happy Holidays!

Well it's been a busy past month, therefore, the blogging was placed on the back burner. This will be short and sweet, but i will return to a normal schedule beginning next week.

Less than 6 months till the wedding...Ryan is so excited he can hardly contain himself with all the talk of flowers, centerpieces, church music and more. Several weeks ago we began our pre-marital classes. During our first session the deacon had to ask us several questions - separately. Ryan looked at me as though the deacon told him he was going to have to take the SATs. I went first with the questions and when he asked me if both parties were entering into the marriage freely and without duress, I thought Ryan might let the cat out of the bag and tell the deacon i threatened to cut him off if we didnt get married. Luckily, our answers were sufficient and we got the official "OK." Now, we get to take our compatibility test but I'm pretty sure there is no refund on our deposits if we turn out not to be compatible though...

Good news on the work out front, I finally purchased some tennis shoes so i no longer need to work out in my Uggs. The bad part is that my ass continues to get larger. Apparently, you actually have to USE the elliptical machine in order to lose weight. Go figure. Over Thanksgiving, i tried on my wedding dress for the first time - just as fabulous as I remembered, just a skosh tighter than i recalled :)

So, for the holidays Ryan and I headed home to Indianapolis. When we left Houston it was a lovely 75 degrees. When we landed, it was about 20 degrees. Me no likey. Upon our arrival to the airport parking, we were informed that the lot was full and only people with reservations could park there. Reservations? Really? At a parking lot? This was nonsense. But, the lovely attendant informed us, we could have our car valet parked for an economical $15/day. I told Ryan we should park our car across the street at the Taco Bell - even if they towed it, it'd be cheaper!

Hope everyone had a good holiday and has an enjoyable new years!
