The day is almost here

2 more days! I can't believe how fast the days have gone by. I remember talking with Nelson and saying how there's 100 and something days till the wedding and now we're down to 2. I think we're pretty much set. We had the wedding rehersal last Monday night, and everything went well. The bridesmaids have their dresses, I got my dress back from Lori, I made more copies of the program, Nelson got the apple cider and Nelson and a few of the other groomsmen are waiting to get their tux measurements fixed. Nelson and I are making our final payments to vendors/services this week.

I enjoyed decorating the church alongside some of the sisters last monday for the rehersal. Nelson picked an awesome week to get married; since it's holiday week there are no ministries going on which meant the church was free all week, which saved us a lot of time. I was able to see how the cermony was going to look, and honestly that was when it all started to kick in for me. I'm sure having the flowers there and and everyone dressed up will give it the full effect too.

Praise God that a lot got done in four months. I don't think a long engagement to plan a wedding is worth it, since everything can get done within months.

Anyway, I haven't packed yet for Maui and I don't think i'll be able to today because I have work tonight until midnight. Yet another year for me to work during New Years eve countdown! Oh well.

My sister is coming in today with her fiance tonight, my dad will be picking them up at the airport. She still needs to see Lori tomorrow to pick up her bridesmaid dress.

I think tomorrow i'm going to try to finally be able to pack for our honeymoon and move in my stuff at Nelson's house. Nelson made me a really nice green house key for me last night at Wal-Mart! Like I always tell Nelson, i'm looking foward to our slumber partys each night where we can watch movies late and eat popcorn! =D

Biggest Loser

I am the biggest, and I am the loser. I guess the holidays weren't kind to me. As of this morning, I'm officially putting an end to this contest. My final result:

206

Ouch! So after all is said and done, after the months of eating healthy (yeah, right) and exercising (well, at least a little bit), I ended up with a net gain of two pounds. In the words of Jennifer Aniston, "that's not cool." Anyway, I guess it's not bad... but it's not good. Probably the only positive that I can take from this is that I now have a "pre-wedding weight." Months and years from now, I'll have a goal that I can shoot for.

Oh, by the way, did you realize that the wedding is...

FOUR DAYS FROM NOW!!!

Numbers

Having a job as an accountant, I see lots of numbers throughout my day. Here are a few numbers for you:

16 - days left till our wedding. Can you believe it?
17 - days till we're in Hawaii for our honeymoon. Definitely much warmer over there.
8 - days till Christmas
7 - days left for me to start and finish my Christmas shopping
14 - days since we've last posted a blog entry. Sorry guys; it's been busy.
63 - days since I've posted an entry in my own blog. Slacker.
204 - my weight in pounds when we started our Wedding Weigh-In weight loss challenge
198 - my lowest weight in pounds during our challenge (about two weeks ago)
203 - argh... my weight in pounds the last time I checked (about a week ago)
124 - Cy's weight in pounds when we started the challenge
118 - Cy's lowest weight during our challenge (two or so weeks ago)
? - Cy's current weight
9 - days till our challenge is over
290 - guests (ourselves included) attending our wedding
260 - guests our reception hall can accommodate (in a dining setting). Um... you do the math.
48 - degrees (F) that my thermostat read inside my house when I woke up this morning. Once I get married, I can't be as cheap... er.... cost-conscious when it comes to turning on the heater to keep the house warm.

Christmas Cards

Nelson and I made our very first Christmas card together at Costco, not as a married couple though but as an engaged couple. Watch out for that.
