3 Cities, 3 days, now thats what I call a weekend

Well after a whirl wind of a weekend, we are home. Saturday we went to Harrisburg and Hershey and had a wonderful Christmas. Sunday Ze had a game in Baltimore, so we drove down there. Monday my Kenyan girlfriend was in Newark, so we drove up there and hung out for awhile then spent the rest the day in New York City, before driving home. It was tons of fun, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhatten, went to Times Square and Madison Square Garden. And watch the sun set under the Statue of Liberty. It was a weekend to remember with my fiance, thats for sure. Now back to wedding planning..... oh and I found out one of my bridesmaids got engaged this Christmas. I couldnt be happier for both of them. Wishing everyone a SAFE and Happy New Year!!!!!!

2 1/2 weeks

Ok so it has been 2 1/2 weeks since my last entry. I can explain. First I had Christams shopping and shipping to do. Living so far away from family, we had to do everything real early, so that took about a week to do the shopping, wrapping, packing and shipping. Second while on weekends, everyone else has days off, thats when Ze has games, so our entire weekend is busy busy busy. We finally rest on Monday. So while you may have the whole weekend to do stuff, we dont. And the most important reason besides paying bills and visitors in town and every day things..... the main reason I have not updated this blog or even done anything extra in my days are..... my workout. Oh my goodness... it is killing me. I go to the gym by 8:30am every morning and usually leave around 11:30am. I do classes, I run, I lift weights, I do just about everything they have in that gym, all week. I get home about the same time Ze does and we eat and i watch soaps and relaxe and always pass out for an afternoon nap. It hurts to lay down, it hurts to sit up, it hurts just to lie still. But regardless, I just got an e-mail reminding me I have less than 11 weeks. So I will get my butt moving again. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We will be in Harrisburg and Baltimore this weekend. Like I said, weekends are busy busy busy, but be expecting e-mails soon with more details. Ciao for now....-h

Bridal Town

I dont think most of you know what Bridal town is. It is like going to a video arcade when you were a kid, (or yesterday). Bridal town is outside of Philadelphia and is a super store for brides. http://bridaltown.com/ Just look at the pic on the front page, its like a doll house for adult women. Anyways, I will be going there tomorrow. Ze has been slightly hurt, so he isnt playing at this moment, so when the team goes out of town..... He is stuck with me and with no excuses. I love it. UPDATE: Things are moving ahead finally in the wedding planning. We have a meeting with a local church on Monday, to see if all the pre-marriage counseling courses can be fulfilled before our wedding date and with our crazy schedules. We have picked out our invite, but cant print them till we know if we can get married in the church or not. I have been corresponding with the hotels in San Diego for all the out of town guests. The work out is fun, this week I have done step class, kick boxing, pilates, swimming, body sculpting and cycling, not to mention weights and treadmill. It is working though, I lost 5 pounds so far. So slowly but surely, the plans are moving ahead....

Under 100

Uh oh.... under 100 days to my wedding has been broke. I know I still got time, but with all the out of town guests coming, details are needed ASAP. I am doing my best. Spent $30 on bridal mags, hours on the internet doing research, got the local phone book out, have e-mailed all my friends to see where they can help me. It's not easy when you live 3 time zones away from the wedding site. I can honestly say though, I am quite proud of how far along I am and Ze Roberto is being an angel with all my silly questions and concerns. I truly am a lucky woman to have him be the one at the end of the aisle wating for me. Ok back to planning and back onto the wedding workout. Took turkey day off, hey can you blame me?

Who's Idea was this?

I want to know who made up the idea, a bride must be skinny. I mean come on.... give a sister a break. She finally found the love of her life, and now you want to have her eating carrots and tofu? Sadly enough, I have fallen for it. I began my wedding workout schedule this week. Let me tell you. If I were to be married tomorrow, I wouldnt even be able to walk down the aisle. Thats how sore I am. Luckily I have 15 more weeks. I figure get in the best shape of my life, get married, then let it all hang out. Hey no turning back once the vows have been said. Ha ha ha!!!! Ok back to the couch for recovery.

Weddings in the air

Ok so since i announced my wedding. All I see on tv everyday is stuff on weddings. I dont know if I never noticed it before, because I wasnt thinking about weddings, or if it is really happening. Star Jones is getting married tomorrow, been all over the tv today. Tonights episodes of "Faith & Hope", had a wedding in it, and the tv show "What I like about you", had her planning her wedding. This is really eery. Starting to scare me.....

Official Announcement

Well today was the offficial announcement of my wedding. I told tons and tons of people, but it seems there were still many who were excited to know. I have 4 months to plan my wedding and as simple as it may be, there are still many details. I couldnt be more happy though. It will be a day to remember, thats for sure. I still have many people who I am trying to get in contact with, so I started up this site in hopes of getting everyone online. Keep in touch.
