Dieting (again)!

So I'm hoping that by putting it in writing it will keep me accountable, so I'm going to admit that I'm dieting again. I'm trying to be hopeful, but something tells me this will be an ongoing battle my whole life. I love celebrating, comforting, and escaping boredom with food, so I'm working on changing my attitude. After seeing many recent pictures of myself I couldn't deny it any more, I've gotten quite chubby lately =). I joined Weight Watchers a few weeks ago at work (they are reimbursing us for the cost if we complete the program, so I figured I had nothing to loose). Here are a few of the things I have fallen in love with since joining Weight Watchers:

Spray Butter! and Mini Bag Popcorn (94% Fat Free version)


And Hostess 100 calorie cupcakes!

Don't worry, I'm eating other things too, these just make it a little more manageable! Hopefully I'll have progress to show off over the coming months =).

The NewlyWeds!



So I'm finally taking the time to blog about Kara and Matt's wedding on June 2nd. It was absolutely beautiful and I feel blessed to have been included. While at the wedding, we also go to see Amanda (my little sister in AGD) and Jason & Kara, all friends from NGCSU.



Kara and Matt had a great photographer who took lots of fun pictures, my favorites were candids on a golf cart! When we entered the reception, they played the theme song to Monday Night Football which got a great reaction from the well wishers. We enjoyed watching every one boogie down, but Brian and I only braved the slow songs =). Here's a pic of Kara and Brian at the end of the wedding. Best Wishes for a long and happy marriage!!!!

Georgia Trip

We were lucky enough to make it back to Georgia for a full week and celebrate the wedding of Kara Killian and Matt Bornhorst. Work has kept me really busy in Texas, so it was nice to be able to hang out with family and friends and relax a bit. We went up to Dahlonega, ate at good ol' El Maguey's, and saw our friend Daniel Hamby's band, 9 North, play at Caruso's.



We also celebrated my brother Robert's and my cousins, Blake and Tyler, birthdays. My niece Reagan culminated the evening by sitting in the box. Don't you wish you could do that?



We also bought her a small ball pit while we were there that Brian decided to try out. While we were there she learned how to say my name which just melted my heart. It was really nice to see our family and friends and just have some quality time. Even though we just got back to Texas, we can't wait to see everyone again!!
