Wedding update - 6 months to go!

As the months tick by the tasks pile up. We're simultaneously working on the following:

1) Looking for a bakery to make our cake
2) Assembling Save the Dates
3) Working on ordering invitations
4) Organizing hotel room blocks
5) Planning the rehearsal dinner
6) Interviewing videographers
7) About to take engagement photos
8) A thousand other things haha

Advice to anyone planning a wedding: have a long engagement. You'll be happy you gave yourself time to think about things and process decisions. AHHH

Very Fine Valentine

Being in school can be rough taking up all of your time and the stress... After a long weekend with sadly not much alone time Cristian made a Tuesday dinner for me that was delicious. He served linguine pasta with mussels in a red pepper sauce. It was spicy with a bit of sweetness yet light and almost buttery. I had the leftovers the next day and was even more blown away!

My appetite has been increasing as I have been attending a personal trainer. She works my friend and I very hard. I am often sore for days on end, and hungry all the time. But after only four sessions I've lost 2 inches in my hips and 1 in my waist. I can see and feel my arms gaining strength too. I never thought planning a wedding would have so many intricacies, even things like taking care of your health better! It's all so much. Wish me luck, a few pounds and couple of inches to go!
