Tuesday Things

The struggle was REAL to go back to work this morning. I hadn’t been to work since December 21 and wished I was independently wealthy so I could continue that trend. As I am not, I drug my butt out of bed and managed to make my way in. But I will assure you that I don’t wanna.

• I had a great week back in Nebraska. It was wonderful being with my family and friends and I needed that recharge. 
• My entire family (8 of us) went to see “The Greatest Showman” Friday night. And I am OBSESSED. I loved the music and even paid to download the soundtrack. I have probably listened to it about 25 times in the days since. #noshame It is THAT good.
• I sat next to my oldest nephew, Jon, in the recliners at the theatre. He and I are very close and he’s the sweetest kid. He held my hand the entire movie and it made me feel so special and loved. I love all three of my nephews, but my sweet Jonathan is just the best. 
• I went to look at wedding dresses with my mom while I was home and was incredibly disappointed with how it went. We went to David’s Bridal. I had an hour and a half appointment and got to see 5 dresses. The lady wasn’t listening to what I wanted and how I felt in the dresses. She also told me that she worked on commission and kept pushing the $1800 dress. Not bloody likely lady! I can’t afford to spend that much on a dress that I will only wear once. My mom and I now have a better idea of what I am looking for and will go to the local shops when I go back for another, longer trip home in July so that we can hopefully get the dress and other details figured out then.
• My “friend” from college texted me on Sunday, wishing me a happy new year and congrats on the engagement. Then asked if we had set the date (July 2019) and proceeded to tell me that despite the fact that she only got a promise ring for Christmas, she would probably be married before me since we have such a long engagement. RUDE. What do my engagement and wedding have to do with yours? The answer to that is nothing. Absolutely nothing.
• My former Spin Studio back in Lincoln is having a 20 in 30 challenge. Just go and complete 20 workouts in 30 days there for a prize. I obviously can’t do the workouts there, but I can do my own on my spin bike with my Peloton App! So that’s my new goal. I am also going to start lifting again. I have 6-8 months before I will have to order my wedding dress and I don’t want to have to pay for a lot of alterations if I can help it, so let’s do this! #bridalbootcamp

I hope 2018 is a great year for all of us, friends! I know that I have a lot of goals and can’t wait to crush them all!
