Hello, friends!

It's been a while since I blogged. I'm bad at blogging more than twice a month, apparently... I guess I feel like I have nothing worth blogging this year. At least, not that often. Well, I guess I'll just do a little life update.

Married life is awesome. I'm still getting used to living with Nix - just this morning he "ruined" my morning routine! Sigh. Men. He had to be at work at 8am, so he got up at 7. I don't leave for work until 7:15 or 7:20, and Friday is trash day. I normally make coffee & pack lunch & eat breakfast all at once. On Fridays I'll remember I need to clean out the cat box again, and I need to take out the trash, so I'll make coffee & then do the cat box and trash. Then it's packing lunch and breakfast time, well, today, he strolled downstairs right after the box & trash routine. And then proceeded to get completely in my way while trying to pack my lunch. Hmmph. It was nice eating breakfast with him, though!

So I've been doing really well with going to the gym on a regular basis, yay me! Like, I got my gym membership about a month ago, and I've gone at 2-3 times a week since then. I'm not seeing a weight decrease, but I'm so much happier. I managed to squeeze out 7 miles on a stationery bike last night, and I'm going to try and get in a quick mile and some weights tonight. Why the sudden need to exert all this physical energy? Well, I'm sick of work. Running/biking/sweating makes me happy. Because I'm sitting all day at work and by the time I get home I hate life and I feel horrible, so trying to get in a run after my miserable day has helped my mood so much. Nix has noticed the difference. (Speaking of, he goes with me sometimes! Sometimes he even goes by himself! We're gonna be SMOKING HOT soon.)

Okay, so, my other reason for going to the gym: I want to have a trophy-wife hot body by June 1. Seems shallow, I know, but, it's my goal. Why June 1? Well, his sister's high school graduation is June 8th. It will be the first time we see his family since we were there in December. And then I'll be seeing coworkers I haven't seen in a year for our annual conference on June 12 & 13th, and I want to look faaaaaaaaaabulous. And, then, my cousin is getting married in July. This will be the only time we see my family this year, and we'll be going to Disneyland (YAY) before the wedding. So basically, I just want to be a smokin' hot babe.

Which leads me to another problem. With my smokin' hot bod that I will have in June, I'm gonna need some fabulous dresses. Some cute & more casual ones for my trip to his family, then 2 work appropriate outfits for the conference (the only time I get to wear skirts & heels to work!), and then of course, an outfit for the wedding. I've been stalking ModCloth for ideas, and I have a "dream" dress for the wedding picked out, but, of course, it's only available in Large right now. This dress is amazing. I don't think a large would fit my chest... far too much room up top, I think. I'm hesitant to buy a dress right now anyway, because I'm hoping to trim off a few inches before June. But I'm scouring the internet for ideas.

I don't want to spend a ton of money on these outfits, so I'll definitely be checking out Ross and Marshall's in the next few weeks. But... I don't know what the heck to wear to my little sister's graduation! (She's been my "little sister" since before Nix & I made it legal, lol)

Ahhhhhh so many things!

Um... I think that's it? Life is good. I am also stalking Craigslist because I really want to move to a different apartment once our lease is up in September. I have been designing our dream home as well, because, well, why not? And by "designing" I mean gathering ideas. Nix's only request is that he's involved with the process too. Well, duh, I told him. It wouldn't be "dream home" if you didn't have any input. Silly husband.
