Almost done!

It seems like it was only yesterday that I was deciding to go for my MBA.. now I'm in my last few days.. I just have one group paper to do.. and I'll be done!

I can't believe I survived..

I wouldn't have been able to do it without God's help. He kept me strong to stay up those late nights.. and helped drive me to finish.. I wouldn't be where I am without Him.

Life is coming together.. all with His help.. it's hard to believe that I used to hate my life so much..

It's a wonder how much maturity and faith can change one's outlook so much..

I'm getting married..

October 30th, 2010

295 days

We've got the church.. and we're pretty much a phone call away from getting the reception ballroom.. and I just made a deposit on the flowers..

It's coming together..

I couldn't be more stressed.. I couldn't be happier..

I'm blessed..

God has been so good to us..

I wish you a Merry Christmas..

Yes.. it's December 26th.. but it's still Christmas.

It's the Christmas season and Christmas doesn't officially end until January.

Yes.

If you don't believe me.. look it up somewhere Catholic..

Anyway.. I've been pretty MIA on this blog.. or any blog really.

Life just got busy.

2010 is just around the corner and as usual, I find myself wondering where all the time went and if I'm where I want to be..

And as usual.. I find myself coming up short again..

But over the years I have learned how to accept it all..

That my life doesn't go according to MY own timeline.. and it's so comforting to know that God is watching over me.. and trusting Him makes life more bearable..

If I don't come back here by the end of the year.. Happy New Year!

May 2010 bring as may blessings as the previous years..

Let's get physical..

So I gave in.. and I got the 2yr membership at the 24Hr Fitness..

They sell them pretty cheaply at Costco.. $300.. and it's a two-year membership.. that adds up to about $12.50 a month.

They have this awesome Aqua class.. it's water aerobics.. I'm hooked on it..

I just hope that I don't fall off the motivation wagon.. and waste the membership..

Must.. keep.. motivated!

Drive.. drive!

Driving to work so early in the morning..

It's about a 45-60 min drive to work..

So much good music plays on the radio during this morning commute.. and it keeps me awake..

It's also amazing how many thoughts run through my head during the morning commute..

The morning commute has been interesting..

Maybe it's the maturity level.. last time I did this commute it was so hard to get through.. so much coffee... so many times I drifted off.. there were so many times I couldn't get through it..

I guess I've got a different outlook on it all.. I'm using the commute to my advantage.. thinking.. listening.. mediating.. understanding.. taking it all in.. taking in my time alone.. and enjoying it for the short time I'm on my commute..

I'm ooooooold!!!

I'm officially twenty-nine..

The last year of my 20s.. I have the whole year ahead of me..

I'm sooooo old!

Oh well.. watching Bridezillas... and I gotta get some crazy homework done..

Ugh.. time.. time.. time..

The gain..

How does one expect to lose weight when there's food.. food.. food.. around me.. all.. the.. time?!

I'm finishing up week 2 at the new job.. and I'm still adjusting to the whole work/school balance.. it's been hard to find treadmill time..

I had Cursillo weekend this past weekend.. there's more food there..

I feel like I've gained at least.. AT LEAST.. 5 lbs in the last two weeks..

Not good.. not good at all..

I need to flush this out with a lot of water.. and some activity..

I try not to eat too much when I get home either..

I just feel like I'm eating and eating.. especially since the workplace just remembered that my birthday is on Sunday.. and now we have pecan pie!

Yikes!

I'm also starting to eat breakfast because my schedule makes me hungry in the mornings...

Good thing I'm only working 3xs a week..

If time permits.. I can use those other days to work out.. and once life calms down into more of a routine.. I'll be able to find ways to eat less..

I'm already learning to save money.. now.. I gotta learn how to balance out my diet!
