Failed at resolution

So remember that resolution I made about posting frequently? Well, evidently, I failed. Perhaps it is because not many people are posting anymore. At least I can do a quick summary.
I got a great deal on Groupon for Yoga in Palo Alto. 25 classes for $25. I instantly started going. I thought "25 classes to use within 2 months? I will run out before the two months are up!" Lo and behold, I have two weeks left and 9 classes left. If it was closer to my work, I might have been able to go more often. It's tough because on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the classes are either at 5 PM or 7 PM. I get off work at 5, so the 5 PM class doesn't work. If I go to the 7 PM class, what will I do for 2 hours? So I have only been going on Tuesday and Thursday. I have not lost any weight, but I do see a restructuring of my body shape. My muscles are definitely stronger and more defined.
Nick and I have been doing various things with our time. We try not to spend money, but that is really tough here in the bay area! We have been trying to start exercising again. Our gym membership expires on 04/07/2011, so we will have to do some "shopping" for a new gym. I dislike the 24 hr fitnesses that are available to us. They have poor air circulation and smell really bad. Hopefully, we can find a good gym for a good price.
That should be all for now. Hopefully I will update shortly.

New cat!

10 days between my last post.. not too bad, right? I have been busy doing school work. One exciting thing is that we got a new cat. Her name is Josie and we got her at the Nine Lives Foundation. Since the facility is closing down in June due to lack of funding, all cats over 6 months old that have been fixed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, were available at the great price of $11! The cat we had originally picked out online ended up being a biter. No thanks! After looking at 20+ cats, we ended up finding Josie... well, she found us. I sat down to look at all cats closer, and Josie crawled on my lap and laid down. She sat like that for 5 minutes until it was time to go. She is the one! We actually adopted her to play with Molly, but I think that she'll be a great lap cat, too. :)

I'm not worthy to blog!

A person who blogs is one that updates their blog at least once a week, right? Well, it has been two months for me! That is pathetic! Especially since the holidays happened over the last two months. Perhaps I could say that I was "too busy" throughout the holidays to write. Yes! Yes! I like that excuse! :)
Let's see if I can summarize the past few months.
November- Thanksgiving was great. Lots of food and school. (what else is new, right?)
December- I was able to complete all my Christmas shopping on time. Unless everyone was being extra nice, I believe that all liked my gifts. The whole month of December was a full calendar of events. Christmas parties right and left; Social events; Rachel coming to town (the best part)! I love the holidays because they are filled with family, friends, and movies! I saw so much of all three that I miss them while sitting at home in the month of January.
January- I am continuing with school. I graduate on 05/16/11, so only 4 more months. Too many essays and wasting of my personal time. As soon as school is out, no more essays. The downside is the monthly payments that I will have to pay. Hopefully I will be able to get more money! Time to go buy a lottery ticket.
My new years resolution for this year is to blog more. I hope I can keep that resolution! Thank you all who still read my blog!

Birthday

I wish I could say that I have had such a busy and hectic life that I haven't had time to write. It's actually quite the opposite! Our married life has been terrific, but we haven't been up to too much. The main reason for that is because of all the school work I have to do on a daily basis. Yep.. still in school. Getting REALLY tired of it. It is the reminder from my parents and Nick on a weekly basis that I am almost there that keeps me motivated because I simply have lost all my personal motivation. I am so close to the end, yet I dread doing school work every day. It is harder and harder to write my essays because I simply stopped caring about the material I am learning. I don't know how everyone with college degrees completed their schooling! So anyways, I am looking forward to May 16 where I will no longer have to EVER do any school work again.
On a happy note, I just had my birthday on 11/06. I asked for a low key day, so spending time with Nick and my parents was perfect. Nick gave me a super shocking "family" gift: an iPAD! So exciting. I can't wait to download tons of aps on it!

Happily married!!

We did it! We tied the knot! It was an overcast day on 09/17/2010, but it made it a lot better for pictures since we all did not have to squint. It was such a fun day and everything went according to plan. I cried my eyes out during the ceremony, though, so that was a bit embarrassing. I will be posting more pictures when I get them from Nick's uncle (who took all of our pictures and did a fantastic job!!)

Bumps in the road

Not every wedding plan goes as planned. We found out two weeks before the wedding that our florist had to get surgery and would not be able to help us with the flowers. In a panic, I called the venue owner and she provided me with names of local florists. We have an appointment with our new florist (hopefully) on Saturday, only 6 days before the wedding.
Looked at the 10-day weather report and guess what I saw?? RAIN! Wonderful rain! While all say rain is good luck, I am sure that the guests will not enjoy the 30 minute outside ceremony in the rain. I know there are a lot of things that can be done with umbrellas, but I didn't want to have to do that to the guests. ::sigh::
Stepped on the scale and what did I not see?? A drop in weight. I am sure all women can agree with me how frustrating it is to eat ridiculously healthy and exercise constantly and have no weight loss. Grrrr.
Finally, I am done with my school class but I am anxiously awaiting my final grade. I am nervous. It is based on the results from a group final essay.. I don't have much confidence in my group.

Alright, that's the update for now! Until next time

ONE MORE MONTH!

One more month from today! Dum-dum-de-dum! So much planning is involved with a few hiccups, but nothing major. I look at the hiccups as something funny to look back on. Hiccups included:
- Sealing all the envelopes before putting on the stamps on the return envelopes for the RSVP cards. Solution? I bought cute note cards and sent everybody the stamp for the return envelope telling them of my mistake.
-Booking multiple appointments the day before the wedding just to remember that I have to pick up the wedding flowers that morning. I need to reschedule two appointments for another time ASAP!
- I gained 5 pounds. OOPS! I think it's all muscle because I have been eating healthier, running, and have been doing the stair stepper. I sure hope I fit in my wedding dress!

These are just a few things that have occurred but you know what? I'm not perfect! and that is perfectly okay with me.
