Catching Up real quick...

It has been a while since I've been on this thing so lets catch up real quick. I went to my parents house for Christmas and my parents finally began to hound me about the wedding. The messed up thing was that my dad waited until my FI was in his room asleep before he tried to rip me a new one. Lol. I was so upset. He shot down all of my ideas and he completely rejected my desire to have the wedding in Philly. It is so easy for my dad to upset me, it makes me so freaking mad. I should have woken FI up but I wasn't thinking. Basically I cried like a baby and made a fool of myself. I really should have a thicker skin by now especially since this was only the first conversation regarding the wedding, just wait until we have to start putting money down for vendors. Lovely thought. Whatever man, I'm going to city hall.

I left home angry and my mother in law talked to me about the whole situation along with her son. We are def having the wedding in Ny but that is all they get. No compromise on anything else. I have started looking for venues but no bites as of yet.

My birthday weekend was spectacular. We stayed near the mall and I got to do a little shopping, which was long over due. lol. We had dinner at Bahama Breeze which was amazing like I remembered. It was just dinner with my sis and bro in law and our married couple friends. Did I mention that I looked amazing, except I do not have any full length pictures, I was tipsy most of the day...lol... I feel like such a grown up hanging out with couples these days. It was a very low key birthday and I enjoyed myself immensely. Thats the g-rated version by the way...Just kidding!!! I was able to ring in the New Year with new family and friends, as well as my hubby. It was not exactly like I imagined, we had a lovers spat, but it was much needed.

FI always tells me that fights make us stronger, but I have a hard time accepting that until now. That fight was needed because it made us both realize things about each other. I'm not glad we had the fight, but the end results were in our favor.

Other that that, I have my first bridal fitting this week and I am excited. I have been working out so hopefully I haven't put on any pounds. And school starts this week which sucks. But its my last semester in school before I start my clinicals.

I never really make New Years Resolutions because I always break them. But for this year, I decided to make a few that were more realistic. We have been regularly hitting up the gym so my goal is to continue with that. It will get harder due to my change in schedule but I just have to be more diligent with my time management; which is easier said than done. I am focusing more on my hair also. After the perm fiasco; in which I proceeded to give myself my own perm and some of my hair promptly fell out, I vow to take better care of my delicate follicles. This includes tying up my hair when I am at the gym and waking up earlier to look cute. I have been enjoying the fruits of cooking and I am becoming quite good at it, if I may toot my own horn, haha. I can make a few African dishes, now its time to focus on the meals I've eaten since I was a child. I guess that its for my resolutions, can't think of anything else. OH shoot, the most important one, attend church more regularly. I have been very lazy about that and now that I have a vehicle at my disposal, there are no excuses. God has been so good to me, the least I can do is get my butt up for church.

Life is good these days. I am appreciative of my family and friends. Love you guys. OH and to the special man in my life, you know the deal. Happy belated birthday Lips my deelishious one.
