Our anniversary is in 2 days! I'm so excited about it too, after this one it will change to to October 8! We had been planning to go to my aunt's condo for the weekend but it turns out she and my uncle will be celebrating their wedding anniversary down there (happy anniversary to them too!) so we made a change of plans and found an adorable house in uptown New Orleans that was only $70 a night to stay in! So come Thursday evening we will be New Orleans bound and we are staying for 2 nights. It's going to be wonderful. We are going to visit the zoo and magazine street and try to eat at as many local places as possible. I really can't wait. And of course Thursday I get to try on my wedding dress for the first time. Not the one in the store, the one that we bought and had specially made, MY wedding dress! I really hope I haven't gained too much weight. Come July I'm making an appointment to get back on my medicine and get all this taken care of. Talton's gift from me was his new iPhone, I paid off the balance of his old one so he could get a new one and even though it wasn't fun I know he appreciates having a personal phone again. He keeps saying my stuff is coming soon, I think I know what he got me but I'm going to try not to spoil it by thinking about it too hard. Maybe I can pick up something else for him on our trip. To sort of abruptly switch subjects, I have been marinating on what happened in Orlando this weekend. The whole situation is so wrong. It was wrong that a man was able to buy an assault rifle. It was wrong that same man attacked a bunch of innocent people in a place that was supposed to be safe for them. It was wrong that he attacked them because he didn't agree with who they loved. It was wrong that he was able to kill that many people in such a short amount of time. It was wrong that the politicians who gave their statements used that as an opportunity to say nasty things about each other in the wake of a national tragedy (looking at you presidential candidates). It is wrong that a religion is being blamed for the act. It is wrong that some people have felt they can say anyone of the victims had it coming. It is wrong that as a nation we haven't done more to protect LGBT people and their rights. And it will be wrong when nothing related to gun control or LGBT rights changes. And it will be wrong when it has an even bigger negative impact on the Muslim population living here. My heart breaks for all the people who have been and will be affected by this tragedy. And I am ashamed of my fellow countrymen who don't believe that this was the act of an individual and that it doesn't scream how badly we need stricter gun control laws. I know this post is late. And I know I start off chirpy and excited about the good things going on in my life. I think it has taken time for me to fully process what happened. And it's hard for me to focus on it for too long without becoming consumed by disappointment and sadness. I also realize that at this time there is not a lot that I can do to help. But I will continue to give blood when I can, I will vote for LGBT rights, I will vote for stricter gun laws, and I will pray. And when the time comes, I will raise my children to be loving and accepting of everyone and hope that the next generations will never have to see tragedies like these.

I am so proud of myself for this week! I have walked everyday, like met my 10,000 steps goal and I've gone past it most days! I've also managed to stick with my calorie goal. I didn't count on Monday but I have stayed on track all the other days! I've been getting up between 6:15 and 6:30 this week so I can be sure to get my walk in before I go to work and it has been really wonderful being out before it gets blazing hot and watching the neighborhood wake up and come to life. I've also been reading this week instead of watching tv and I'm on my third book! I haven't had my normal brainless appetite and I've been feeling more alert and more relaxed at the same time. Talton and I have been eating dinner at the table instead of on the couch and it's been really great getting to actually focus on our dinner and conversation. I'm also proud of my grocery shopping this week, I'm trying to get back to simpler food (as opposed to the complex yet delicious recipes I was trying the past few weeks) and I bought a ton of groceries for $104! I had been spending around $250 so that is definitely a relief for our budget. And I got like 6 or 7 meals plus snacks and milks and yogurts! It was very satisfying. I applied for another job yesterday. It isn't really a different job, but if I get it it would be a promotion in my company. I would have to leave my branch 😭 but it would mean more money and more hours for me and that would be really good for us. I'm not sure if I am really qualified for the position but the experience of applying and interviewing will be good. I'm not telling my friends or family (besides Talton and Joan) because whenever I seem to announce stuff like that it never ends up working out. I'm not telling every one how my diet and exercise is really going either, once I tell my mother that I've lost 5 pounds I always always always gain it back. So everything is on the hush hush. I wish I had gotten to go back to school this summer for that paralegal program but it is a certification not a degree so I can't get any financial aid. Once we get to a more stable place I can probably pay for it myself but that isn't an option right now. I'm off to try to over perform at work!

The wedding is officially 4 months away!!! Also, the bridal salon called yesterday and my dress and veil have come in!!! It all landed on me that the wedding is getting close and I'm going to have to kick it in to high gear. I measured myself this morning and I haven't gained many inches since we ordered the dress but I have put on some weight since then so I really need to get serious about taking it off. This is a $1500 dress, I can't just go and get too big for it. I actually managed to stick to my calorie goal yesterday, even after eating an entire Oreo snack pack thing with lunch! That was pretty awesome. It really helps when I walk so I've been keeping that up, Talton and I took Gus around the neighborhood before dinner last night and burning those calories let me eat enough pizza for dinner (so healthy). I walked by myself this morning (Gus was limping, poor dog we are wearing him out) and managed to get in 3.6 miles and burn around 400 calories! That's way more than I normally eat for breakfast and knowing I have that cushion will help me stick to my goal throughout today. If I can have the self control to exercise and keep at my calorie goal I have the potential to lose around 30 pounds (in a healthy way) before the wedding! I really want to look my best and fit in my dress and feel super beautiful that day. I also went and looked at wedding invitations yesterday, I had been looking mostly online and the prices were crazy! But I actually went and talked to some one yesterday and that was incredibly helpful, she said they can basically put anything I want on the invites and she had so many selections that were beautiful and traditional and affordable. I'm so relieved, I was really starting to worry that we were going to spend a small fortune on just the invites and that would've been a disaster. I need to get pictures of cake to our baker so she knows what we are looking for and I need to buy shoes and spanx and a better strapless bra! Also bridesmaid gifts. I've finally decided what I want to get the girls, pretty satiny robes with their monograms and these longchamp style totes that I found on etsy. I may or may not get some other fun things for the bachelorette party but those are definitely the gifts I want to get them for the wedding. Speaking of gifts, Talton's and my 3rd anniversary is coming up in a week and a day and I had hoped to get him something fun for it but then he went and drowned his iPhone so it looks like I'm going to pay off the balance owed on the old one so he can get a new one. I know he will be excited to get a new one (he did this for me on my birthday so I could get my current phone) but I really wanted to get him a fun gift. I was thinking a crawfish boil pot and fun boxers. I can still get him that stuff too I guess, I'll just wait until a little later. So many exciting happy things happening!

I'm procrastinating instead of getting out of bed and taking a shower and getting ready for work. I still have 2 hours so I'm not doing too badly. Geez this weekend was lazy. I had been getting in to my groove for walking the dog 3 miles a day and killing my steps and almost eating on track, then Mobile acted like Mobile and it rained. All. Weekend. I knew there was a chance of rain but I was hoping we would at least get a little sun, maybe early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Nope. Got none o' that. So Talton and I decided to marathon James Bond movies. We watched 7 in one weekend! 5 on Saturday and then the other 2 on Sunday after spending most of the afternoon with my parents. We have decided we definitely appreciate Sean Connery as James Bond much more that Roger Moore. So Saturday consisted of waking up, attempting to walk the dog before the rain got too bad (we made it a mile and a half), then going to look at furniture (I melted our couch a little in an unfortunate popcorn incident and we knew we were going to want a new one at some point), looking around one of the local antique stores, and then we swung by Target to pick up James Bond movies and Popeye's for fried chicken. Yup. Dinner was even less healthy than the chicken but what's done is done and now I just need to move past it. We definitely enjoyed ourselves, there were a few times when we first started dating that we just hung out in bed for a whole day watching movies and we haven't done that in a long time. Sunday seemed to drag on a little. We hadn't been to church in a few weeks and as I work there I start to feel guilty when we miss too many services. I like going to church, I feel like it settles me from the week and I'm not the most devout but I think it helps both of us be better people to go regularly. However, when I woke up on Sunday it was because I was jerked out of a dream in which I was arguing with some one about the size of the guest list for our wedding and then I immediately heard the dog playing tug of war with the rug. Instant irritation. Followed by a headache. And the realization that this was the first Sunday of the month so the service was an hour earlier. We managed to get ready and get over there in time but the headache morphed to a migraine and it went downhill from there. Lunch with my parents was good, Mom made vegan roast beef po-boys that were really tasty and we talked about the wedding. I've realized I need to order invitations ASAP and I'm trying to find a way to not spend over like $600 on them but still end up with nice looking invitations. It's hard! We left their house around 2 and went home to watch the rest of the Bond movies and then went to bed. After 20+ hours of tv this weekend I have sworn it off for the week. I went to the library yesterday, after a major house clean, and picked out 4 books. With no tv this week I should definitely be able to knock them out by their due date. Maybe I should try no tv for a month.
June 3, 2016 Walked the dog again this morning! I DESTROY my steps goal when he and I get up early and walk. And I love seeing that many steps this early, it makes the goal seem so much more doable. It's definitely good for him too, the vet said we don't need to let him gain too much more weight so I'm trying to get some off of both of us. He really likes going and then we get home and he melts on the floor for a while. It's important that we keep going before 8, now that summer is here it is around 78-80 degrees by 7:30 and if we wait too late then I worry it will be too hot for him. To combat the heat I've been wearing tank tops. It's kind of a big step for me, I really hate my arms so I never wear tank tops but I'm trying to be more confident and I really want to even out my farmer's tan, so tank tops happen. I'm going to try to keep moving around more at work too, I used to hit my steps goal no problem working at the restaurant, but I do a lot more standing in one place or sitting at the bank. We get to wear jeans today and I'm pumped, I have a new top that is precious but looks better with jeans than work pants so I've been dying to have a jeans day at work. The wedding is getting closer and closer, I have to stay on top of my diet and exercise and get back on top of planning!

I'm still struggling with self control in the evenings. I come home from work super hungry, and I sneak through dinner preparation, then I eat dinner, then I will occasionally have dessert or popcorn after! I know I'm hungry for the snack, but I'm not hungry for the rest of it. I killed my steps goal today, I walked the dog before work this morning and then I kept moving while I was there. So I'm not feeling too bad about my little popcorn and wine pre-dinner snack but I know I need to get it under control. I bought some skinny cow ice cream and some yogurts and lunchables to help me out. And some special K. I can't handle eating it twice a day but I do like it for breakfast. I'll get on top of this. If I can keep waking up early and walking the dog and counting my steps and food I will look great for the wedding. I also bought crush's booty boot camp and I need to start it but since Talton and I stopped going to the gym I've been nervous to go back. Which is ridiculous! Only 4 months until the wedding, I have got to pull it together and get past my gym issues.
June 1, 2016
Once again it is Wednesday! I do have to work today but I was off yesterday after being off Monday for the holiday, so I'm pretty rested and ready to get back to work. I charged my Fitbit last night and I'm going to start wearing it again. My new motto has also been "what would I have done in Birmingham?" But I just use that during the day when I'm alone. I had mad will power in Birmingham. I lost like 20 pounds in two months and then managed to keep it off for like a year. I was just eating really moderately and going to the gym and waking up and going to bed early. I've started the waking up and going to bed early thing again too and it's more for Talton's sake than mine. He gets up at 5 to leave by 5:30 to get to the shop by 6. I'm going to bed by 9:30 with him, I should be able to get up by 6ish. I really want to start getting up and walking the pup like first thing but that is slow coming. So I'm satisfied with getting up and having breakfast and attempting productivity. Our anniversary is this month, 3 years! It's in like 2 weeks and I have got to get his present put together. I was trying to decide between one big gift (new costas) or a bunch of smaller things bundled together (new shorts and t shirts and other toys) but after our conversation last night and then going over our finances, it will probably be the group of smaller things. I really hope we can get away to my aunts condo for the weekend, if not he said we can go to New Orleans for a night 😊. We also discussed going to Disney World for our first anniversary. It would be awesome and that would give us enough time to save up enough money for it for sure. I love him so much, I can't believe the wedding is getting so close.
May 29, 2016 (posted May 31, 2016) Magic Kingdom was the best!!!! I love Disney World, I really do. This was only my 3rd time going and I have got to figure out how to go more often. I love the castle, something about that castle makes me giddy. We rode like all the roller coasters, did the teacups (I took a selfie and Ashley managed to get a picture of me taking the selfie, which was perfect and hilarious), we got to do the little mermaid ride and the Snow White ride which are both new and very crowded, and we shopped and ate and got coffee. After my ridiculous coffee order the man changed my name from Meg to Princess Meg. I'm pretty sure it was a cute form of saying that I'm a little complicated and demanding but it still sort of made my evening. My phone died or I would have tried to get firework pictures. I felt like a kid the whole time. I was so happy. I am really proud of the group of girls. We had little to no drama, we all got along and stayed organized and fairly on time and everyone pitched in to take care of Amy's drinks and food. It was an awesome bachelorette party and I'm so glad I went and now I can't wait until I can go back and hopefully the next time will be with Talton!
