My newest and toughest goal.....
To lose weight by this day. For anyone who might not have heard, this is my wedding day.
How many times have I said I will lose weight just on this blog? Too many for me to count. I hope this does not turn into one of those type posts where you read it and there I am not very far into the future in the exact same spot....
Well here is my first goal, lose 5 to 10 pounds by Easter. Now that is a mere 24 days away so if it does not happen...no tears here. Just a hope that it will happen.
Maybe I will make this a weight lose blog for the next year...Well truthfully probably not. Just a goal posting spot.
So here they are, my goals:
To lose weight and look Smokin' on my wedding day.
To lose weight by my engagement pictures.
To lose weight with William, especially now that it is affecting his health.
To lose weight by Easter so I can be more comfortable in my Easter dress.
To run and not feel like dying.
To exercise and feel good.
To feel good.
I cannot wait to achieve them!

Oh when the saint go Marching in!!!
I have been singing the song above for many many many months. For one specific reason..... I knew this month was going to be a Big one! I knew this month was going to Change my life! And boy O boy it has not disappointed! The reason I have been anticipating this month so is because a little bird told me this was the month I was going to get Engaged! Guess what...Last Saturday, March 5, 2011 my sweet boyfriend asked if I would marry him! With a very excited voice I said YES!
If you have an extreme amount of free time and you feel like there is nothing you want to do for the next hour or so, you could look back into my blog and read the posts I have posted in the past. There are several (understatement) that talks about how I am impatiently waiting on that moment to happen. Looking back...It took forever to get here.
I had a sneaking suspicion it would happen sometime this week because this week is my spring break. Lo and behold...Last Saturday William asked me to go out on a date. I had told him that if it was going to happen he should let me know to look nice because I have this habit of not exactly looking present1 able. So I told him anytime he asked me out that week I was going to be lookin' good! When he told me we were going out on Saturday I knew I needed to be looking like a million bucks. So my mom and I went shopping (something I do not enjoy) and I ended up putting an outfit together that I love.
He showed up that night and I was not finished getting ready. So he had to wait. After a few minutes my mom came into my room and said, "William is here!"
So I asked her, "How does he look? Does he look really nice?"
She told me, "Well, he is wearing a black shirt and jeans if you think that is nice."
Then she went back into the living room. After a few more minutes she came back in and I said to her, "If it doesn't happen tonight, I am not sure I can do this again."
At this point I had butterflies.
So we left for dinner. He took me to Cracker Barrel. I know this doesn't sound too romantic but this was where our first date was. It's very significant because I never thought we would make it this far after that first date. Our first date was awkward to say the least. We barely talked, Barely ate, Barely looked at each other. This last Saturday was exactly the same. Neither of us could eat, we barely talked...I know everyone around thought it was our first date.
After we finished dinner, we got into the truck and he drove me to the downtown area of our small town. Did I mention it had been raining all day? Well it had. So we get downtown and he parks the truck and says lets see if we can go into the old theater. So we get out of the car and walk up the street a little bit and he tries to open the door to the theater. And it was locked :)
So he said Oh well and got down on one knee right there and proposed. He said some really sweet things That I really need to write down, pulled out the ring and put it on my finger! It was so wonderful!
When we got home I saw this note on the door...
When we walked through the door our sweet little pup, Scout, ran up to us and he had a sweet little note around his neck
After we got inside everyone was very very excited and wanted to see the ring!
After a little while, William's family came over and we were all excited together:
The whole time I was texting Everyone I could think of. Could you tell I was so so excited?!
What a Wonderful night! What a wonderful beginning! I am so so blessed!
