Good afternoon, readers!  Unfortunately, I gained 1 lb from last week.  But, before that, I had lost 5.  I think it is water weight and bloating that is causing my weight to be so high.  I need to get back on track with drinking water!  Did you see the article on Shrinking Jeans about how much water you’re supposed to drink per day?  You should be drinking 40% of your current weight in ounces.  That’s a lot of water, something I’ll definitely have to work toward.

On the Wedding Front, the reception site is booked for sure.  We have signed the contract and are now waiting to hear back from my priest.  Yay!  Tom and I are working on invitations now.  We have a general idea of what we want, but it’s difficult to find stationary with both of our colors.  We’re going to keep looking though.  Meanwhile, if you have any companies that you recommend for printing, please let me know!

Our engagement party (for our friends) is this Saturday.  We’ve got a few friends staying with us which will make it so much fun!  I’ve been running around like a mad woman today cleaning and preparing, since tomorrow I have class all day and one friend gets in tomorrow night.  I know no one will really care if our apartment is absolutely spotless or not, but I’m OCD like that.  And, I just hate having guests when the apartment is not immaculate!

Speaking of cleanliness … yesterday, Tom came home during lunch (like he normally does) to check on the dogs.  They had torn the foam cushion out of the chair we have (that matches the couch).  There was foam EVERYWHERE.  I came home right behind him and my jaw dropped to the floor.  What a site our living room was, seriously!  We got a few pictures that I’ll have to share when I unload the camera.  Needless to say, we are now running a doggy boot camp with Hunter and Remy.  I think they’ve figured it out, too, that they did something REALLY bad.

I always hate ending a post.  I never know what to say!
