...and I have a cold.  Joe was feeling under the weather last week and now he has been so kind and shared his lovely sickness with me.  We have a meeting with a potential caterer choice on Saturday, I'm hoping that I'm healthy enough to interrogate them as planned!

I have ordered a few paper samples from a paper company because I'm hoping to have my Save-The-Dates ready to go soon.  At first, I thought that something close to a year in advance would be too soon, but I'm excited to get the word out!  I'm also excited to get these creative juices flowing, and I also realize that a DIY wedding also requires a more forgiving time table.

I've also decided to crack down on watching what I eat and being an all-around healthier person.  In January of 2008, I joined Weight Watchers and dropped a total of 27 lbs. within 7 months.  Unfortunately, when you take 1-part of moving in friends, mixed in with 2-parts of a busy schedule and you sprinkle some old habits on top of that and allow to simmer, you get 7 pounds that make their way back.  Since signing up for the program, I've definitely been making better choices and I'm certainly better off than I was in December 2007 but it would be nice to make more progress. 

I think that's all for now!  We're quickly approaching that one-year mark!
