Changes

This morning I took another step towards getting married. I gave my apartment complex my 60 day notice that I will be moving out come August 30. Next question, where am I living until November 8th? Well who knows...but I will find something. The rent was going up and there was a fee of $150.00 extra, so I just couldn't see paying $900.00 to live here, YIKES! Some have said, "just live with Jeff" and maybe I should but I am still a bit of an old fashioned girl and that just doesn't sound right to me. Plus, I don't think (or I know rather) that my parents (aka check writers) would not like that idea. Mom really hopes that she has a place up here by then and we do too for her sake, if so, "Hi mom, I am back!"

Also, this morning I worked out again. I started working out about two weeks ago or so. Lets just say, it ain't pretty. But I do always feel better, once I stop sweating and catch my breath. I am trying to just make sure I look better in my dress and for the big event. Jeff has been so supportive and wonderful. He is always telling me, "you don't need to loose weight, I love you the way you are", those are all wonderful to hear. It reminds me of a story my grandma (Mimi) told me. She said my grandpa (Papaw..Loyal) told her once that he didn't care if she got so big she had to ride in the back seat and he was in the front seat of the car, he would always love her. That is how Jeff is and I know that I am truly blessed. But for me, it is more about getting into shape or trying to. I just want to tone up a bit (really a lot but gotta be realistic here) so that is why I am giving it a try. Today, my arms were killing me and I just kept telling myself my new mantra....."You do not want to look like a giant marshmallow, keep going!" We shall see if it pays off but for now, my payoff is I do feel better and have more energy....
