Weekend Overview
Monday is over and I can't believe that the weekend is even over! It all just goes by so fast. We did have a great weekend though. Friday started off with a lovely evening downtown at the Front Door. We met up with Laura and a couple of her friends to have a drink after work. We found out that they had one of our favorite wines there (they don't sell it in stores), but they were all out of it. So we didn't get to have it that time, but we know they carry it and we'll be back for sure. After our drink, we went home and made dinner. That was about it for the night.
Saturday, Mat worked as usual and so I just did some stuff around the house for the morning. I made us a lunch and met him at my work so we could clean. Then we went and rented some movies and went home. I stopped and bought one of those take and bake pizzas for dinner. It was pretty darn good, but not really the best for us. We just like to have one night a week that we eat something fun, so pizza it was! We played a video game that night and also watched a couple of our fun shows we record during the week.
Sunday we got up and Mat went to help his dad move while I went to the grocery store and Walmart for some essentials. Then I got our dinner all ready to be cooked that night (lasagna!). Mat got home and we kicked back for a few minutes and then headed to the gym. We did some cardio and then went to our first (and probably last) meditation class. I thought this was going to be really nice and relaxing. We really like yoga and I thought it would just be more breathing and relaxing techniques. It was the weirdest thing! We sat on pillows for about 25 minutes and we were supposed to breath in and think "just" and breathe out and think "this". While I think this is a good technique for a few minutes, 25 minutes just seemed like an eternity. Mat totally agreed with me. And to top it off, the room we were in was right next to the shower and pool entry (lots of kids) and the laundry room. Some of the kids were even knocking on the glass to the room. So there were lots of distractions and I didn't find it to be relaxing at all. But we tried it and we might try again if we feel like it.
I don't really think I got much accomplished with the wedding this weekend. I kind of think things won't be moving much until after my conference. I now have less than two weeks until it starts, so things are getting crazy at work. I'm looking forward to the end of this one. I did start back up on my knitting last night. I haven't done much in the last few weeks. Poor Mat's little head is cold without a hat! So I am trying to finish that and hope that it doesn't turn out silly looking. I also got lots of new yarn from this store that went out of business and I want to start on new projects! First, I have to finish Mat's hat.
I think it is about time to turn in. Have a good Tuesday!

Honeymoon...Check!
Well, at least part of it anyway! We booked a cruise tonight! After months of changing our minds, we decided to go to San Diego and we'll go to the San Diego Zoo and Sea World and then after a few days, we'll go on a cruise to Mexico! I am so excited that we finally decided and I know Mat is too. Finally! We still need to book our flight and our hotel room, but I don't think that will take too much time and we can do that this weekend. I'm just happy we decided.
Whoosh. Let's see... In other news, not much has happened! We have been working, working out and then sleeping. Not much time for anything else recently.
I am so excited for Friday! My birthday is exactly two weeks from tomorrow. Hooray for birthdays! So it is about time for bed, but I just am so excited to have the honeymoon decided on and partially booked! Hopefully, it will be all booked in the next few days...
Have a super Friday!

Worn Out...
Work was not too much fun today. And then Mat and I worked out after work and now it is 8:00 pm and we haven't had dinner yet. Some days are just like this, I suppose, but they are not my favorite days. I like to have some time to relax and it seems like I don't have that time much these days!
We have two big things for the wedding we are still working on and we need to get them done as soon as we can. Our honeymoon (argh!) and our invitations. Hopefully, the invitations won't be as big of a pain as planning the honeymoon. You would think it would be lots of fun to plan your honeymoon, but we are just trying to get the best deal and use my points and all that stuff and it ends up taking so much time and research and then we start second guessing ourselves and what not. But hopefully we can take care of those two items and then be able to breathe for a minute.
It will also help once my conference is over and I can feel not so bogged down at work. Tomorrow will be a really long day for me since I am heading to a little town for a meeting with some Clerks for a meeting I'm planning this summer. Summer seems so far away right now! Especially since it is so cold right now. But at least once it is over, we'll be on the downhill slope toward the weekend! Ah, that is what I look forward to. Have a good night all.

No Honeymoon...Yet!
We ended up at the cruise show just a few minutes before it ended, so no one really wanted to talk to us. We thought it went until 5, so we just took our time getting there and it closed at 3! We did go to the mall later to talk with a travel agent and got nowhere. Trying to use our points and find something we really want to do is hard. But we'll figure it out eventually!
We also started on our wedding web site. We'll give out the address when it is ready, but I think it will be so helpful. People can RSVP online, check out directions to the ceremony/reception site and whatever else we want to add on to it.
This weekend just flew by! One minute it was Friday after work and now it is Monday night. I'm 1/5 of the way through the week. :) I really thought I would get myself all organized for the wedding, but I only got a tiny bit done. That's okay though, I'll just have something to do this weekend!
I'm off to bed to read a little bit. I'm reading a Dean Koontz book - By the Light of the Moon. I'm enjoying it so far. I usually like his books pretty well though. Sleep tight!

What a Day!
Normally, I wouldn't do any blogging at work unless I am really slow. BUT today is just one of those days! I can't seem to focus on one task for more than a few minutes. There is still so much to do for my upcoming conference! I feel like all I have been doing all day is holding people's hands. So I am worn out and ready for the weekend to begin!
Mat and I are going to work out after work, but then the weekend can really start! Tomorrow morning I am going to focus myself on the wedding. I need to get organized and really see what we have left to do. I would really like to create a nice little checklist for Mat and I to work on that isn't generic. All the checklists from magazines and online are really helpful, but we're getting to the point where we need to focus more on details and not the big picture.
I had lunch today with Alana and we had a great time! I'm so glad we started getting together more recently. Hopefully, Mat and I can get together with her and her boyfriend soon for some board games or something exciting like that.
My birthday is coming up soon! I can't believe it is just around the corner. Which means Mat's is close and I better get moving on some presents for him!
Better get back to the daily grind. Have a great weekend all.

Geez...
I just typed up this whole post for tonight and then I hit publish and ERROR. So of course I couldn't get my post back. Oh well, I'll just recap...
Mat and I went to our first yoga class last night! We really enjoyed it and hope to make it a regular thing on Wednesdays. It was a beginner class and there were lots of beginners there, so we felt totally comfortable. Who knows? We might make it to an all levels or intermediate class someday!
We don't have lots of plans for the weekend, but it has seemed like the last month or so we've had lots of plans over our weekends. I'm ready to do a whole lot of nothing! We are planning to go to a travel/cruise show on Saturday with a local travel agent. Hopefully we can find a great deal and get our honeymoon booked!
I think that is about it for tonight! Hope everyone's weekends start off great tomorrow!
