it’s time for an update!

it’s been quite a while hasn’t it?!

things got busy over here and quite frankly, i got lazy!

BUT, it’s time for an update since there have been many changes that have gone undocumented thus far.

1.  i completed a week of body for life. my thoughts after only one week: this whole planning out every meal and workout thing takes a lot of energy.  and like i said earlier, i’ve become lazy.  plus, the holidays suddenly showed up at my door along with all the delicious holiday food…. so (for now), i’ve put the BFL challenge on hold until the new year.

2.  i’m eating meat again. my stint with vegetarianism lasted for about a year, but sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.  i was hard core craving some chili a few weeks ago and lowandbehold, a friend was hosting a chili dinner party.  i ate the chili.  it was delicious.  and now many friends and family members have welcomed me back to the “dark side”.

3.  jeremy and i are getting married ya’ll

it’s been about a week since the proposal, which happened on 12/11/10!  i’d offer up more pictures, but most of them didn’t turn out, so here’s a quick rundown of last weekend:

the days leading up to last saturday were filled with lots of anticipation on my part.  jeremy had mentioned that he wanted to take me on a weekend getaway and since we had been looking at rings and had begun to plan a wedding (okay…i’ll admit i was the only one doing that!), i had a sneaking suspicion that something was going to go down this that weekend.  saturday finally rolled around and after sleeping in for a bit, i started to frantically try to pack cute clothes while jeremy wouldn’t tell me what we were doing (seriously, how’s a girl supposed to pack in that situation?!).

we hit the road around mid-day, but ended up stopping in a small town to get some gas. we continued on our way and checked into a historic hotel to rest for a bit since i’d been quite a bit under the weather.  we ended up walking around the downtown area a bit and got some food at a pizza shop before heading back to the hotel to change for our dinner plans.

after we got dressed up and looking cute, we headed out to dinner, which was eaten right before a bluegrass concert (called mountain heart..i think).  so we got seated for dinner at a table with 8 other people in the concert hall.  at one point, jeremy asked another couple who had been to see the band a few times if there was typically an intermission.  the couple answered yes, so at this point i’m thinking jeremy’s concoting some sort of plan to get me up on stage during intermission.

the intermission didn’t happen and after the concert, we headed back to the hotel and jeremy led the way to the fire where we sat and warmed up a bit.  after many sweet words and a few tears shed, jeremy slid out of his chair, down on to one knee, and asked me to marry him.  i think i remember nodding my head yes, but didn’t actually say anything at the time!  eventually i said yes and after that i think there were lots of hugs and lots of laughs.

jeremy and i would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s already offered us congrats and well wishes!  we truly appreciate all the love everyone has sent our way   i’m sure i’m forgetting something, but i plan to keep the blog updated as we plan the wedding

<3

aaaaaaaand, my free time has come to an end!

peace and love,
