The Ball is Starting to Roll...

I feel like I've gotten so much done this last week.  I haven't, but it feels like I have.

NWR: I started my internship as a preschool teacher.  I LOVE it.  My kids are amazing and I can't wait to see what every single week for the next 15 weeks is going to bring.  I love their little faces and their little voices and all the little things they do.  Ahh- I'm SO in the right job for me.

Now, back to the wedding...

I have been researching photographers like crazy.  My top three priorities for this wedding are:
1. Has to be at the beach (check!)
2. Need to have amazing, photojournalistic photography (working on)
3. Want to dance ALL NIGHT LONG and want my guests dancing, too! (next on my list!)

So now that we have our venue and I know we'll be saying "we do" with our toes in the sand, I have started seriously researching photographers.  My heart was broken when the photographer I was dead set on sent me her updated price list.  Her new price for the package we wanted was $2,400.  When your wedding budget is only $10,000, $2,400 for photography is ridiculous.  So I started the search again and I think I've found the one!

The package is super cheap and includes photography from 9am to 11pm, a CD of images for the Internet, a DVD of images for printing (and all rights to print), photo retouching, online gallery for one year, one 11x14 print, one 8x10 print, and 100 4x6 prints.  We are going to go meet with her sometime within the next month and I cannot WAIT to book her if she's right for us.  I talked to her on the phone last night and she was super friendly- I feel like we'll "click" well.

So yes, there's my big update!  I'm so excited.

Operation: Hot Bride is well under way.  Today is day 4 of level 1 and I feel great.  I haven't lost any weight yet, but I can do more and more of the workout without needing to stop so I know I'm progressing.  I didn't work out on Wednesday because I had my internship in the morning and then went to work right away and closed there.  So I didn't really have any time :(  But that's okay- you need to give your muscles time to rest, so that was it for this week.

I just finished my first 30 Day Shred workout and man oh man did it kick my ass.  Royally.  I knew I was out of shape, but I didn't think I was THAT out of shape.  After that workout though, I am thoroughly invested.  Jillian is ridiculously motivating and her "no excuses" attitude is so refreshing.  I'm going to stick with this- probably beyond thirty days- and see where it takes me.  It can only get better.

Today I bought pants in a size I swore I'd never wear.  Only one pair because I need them for my internship- I don't want to buy more than one because that's giving in!  I want to be able to wear my old pants ASAP

So here's to level 1, day 1... and here's to looking amazing on my honeymoon <3
