Thank you for the good wishes, friends!
Friday night was such a whirlwind…I had NO idea that he was going to propose then (I knew it was coming sooner or later, but not that night!) And it was so lovely and romantic and even though I didn’t cry when he did it, while telling the story and watching the video our friends took of the proposal, I was thisclose to bursting into tears.
I truly appreciate that you all were there for me with this big news! I know I haven’t blogged much of anything substantial for months. In fact, on Thursday I actually started a post about how I haven’t been a good blogger and I got sidetracked and there it sits, in my drafts.
So how about a life update? (Other than the obvious!)
- I’ve been living in upstate New York for just over 5 months now. I’ve been in this new position (Director of Media Relations) for 3 months now. I am still learning a lot about it, but things are going well, and I am settling into a routine.
- I started working with a trainer/nutritionist a few months ago. My weight has basically stayed the same despite tracking calories and macros obsessively, though, after I looked at my weight chart, I am down 5 pounds from last month at this time, so I guess it is working! I just want progress NOW!
- Where we live is such a small town that they don’t have much to offer in terms of gyms or specialty fitness studios. Lincoln, with its nearly 300k people has a lot more to offer so I desperately miss my spin classes and boot camp that I went to there. So a few weeks ago I bought a spin bike for $100 from a lady selling it on Facebook (it works perfectly, she was just too short for it!) And I bought I bike computer online and pay for the Peloton app, so I’ve been taking 4-5 classes a week through that with my favorite, @two-o-nine !! 🙂
- HOWEVER, I have not worked out since last week as I have a horrible cold that went from my sinuses to my throat, to my chest, to my voice! I have had no voice since Friday night! Not long after we got engaged it started to get crackly then it was done. Just gone. I can sometimes get words out, but mostly can whisper, which is not good for laryngitis, apparently. So that’s super fun.
- I leave Saturday to go back home to Nebraska for a week for Christmas with my wonderful family. I can’t wait. My precious nephew, who is 11 now(!!) has been texting me, counting down the days until I come home. He’s my favorite kid, and he’s just the best.
- It is currently snowing here and has been for a few hours. Conversely, it has been highs in the 50′s and 60s in Nebraska, and while I do love snow for Christmas, the single-digit temperatures that we’ve seen here the last few weeks will NOT be missed when I go home!
- Again, thank you for all the sweet comments on my post. I’m over the moon and beyond thrilled about this next chapter with my boo. As a girl who rarely wears much jewelry, this ring feels kinda odd, but I LOVE it! 🙂
Hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday season and have a very Merry Christmas!! I promise I will do better about posting, and not just about wedding planning stuff! LOL
