I haven't blogged in a little while, I feel like so much is going on that this is the last thing on my mind. Let's see what first? Wedding planning... well we are 55 days away. That feels really surreal, like is this actually happening. We've been planning and planning and it's almost here and I still don't know if I really believe it's going to happen. The majority of the planning has been pretty easy, I started kind of panicking a bit ago so I started a task list, assigned owners and due dates and take it one step at a time. I also made Bart read it, step by step... afterwards he thanked me over and over again for everything I've done for the wedding. :-) Oh, I also started having really weird irrational fears... what if I planned this entire thing and no one comes? What if everyone hates it? What if I go to try on my dress and I hate it? Or it doesn't fit? What if I forget to pick up my dress? Such random and dumb little fears but I still have them. So far out of 180 people, we only have 67 people coming - EEKS! Oh and then I found out that a lot of my mail is being returned to sender randomly, I have a case open against my mail carrier but it's just ridiculous. DELIVER MY DAMN MAIL!!
In other news, I'm still teaching kickboxing. I really love it except they have a new theory where they want us to teach the exact same class every single class... not sure how long I'll last with this new theory but I will try it first. I still love it and think it's one of the best work outs ever. I did start the Advocare 24 day challenge the beginning of the month. I'm not doing nearly as good as I did last time - I need to kick this up into high gear.
I also accepted a new position at work. I'm really excited to get back into leadership and take on a new challenge. It was really weird when they sent out the announcement, I got so many emails that said it was a much deserved promotion - I think that is maybe the best compliment ever! I mean I know that I work my butt off and do my best but I didn't know other people saw that too. It's a really good feeling to work hard for something, have it pay off, and have other people notice - it doesn't always work out that way, I feel very very lucky. I also feel really lucky to have the mentors and support system that I have. I may have driven a couple of you crazy while I was making this decision but your guidance and advice is so so so appreciated!!! Of course my babe made sure that I felt very special and let me know how proud he was of me. He's just the best man ever!
Of course only I plan a wedding, begin instructing kickboxing, and take on a new job all at the same time. Let's see how many life changes can happen at once! I mean, if you're going to do it, do it right? A friend of mine at work told me her perspective of me and how I will never be happy or satisfied just "living" I always need new challenges to keep me excited and motivated and going. This conversation opened my eyes because it's true - I don't like to let things happen to me or sit around waiting, I prefer to make things happen. Ok - enough of this "I am woman hear me roar" crap. :-)
Next up is my shower and bachelorette party, everything is going to move along so fast. I can't wait!! LOVE YOU ALL :-)
