If Anyone Actually Still Checks This Anymore...

The Tattoo

The Thriller dance has found its way to the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo. So has the Ghostbusters theme. My life is now complete. Seriously... (Well, seriously that the Thriller dance was in the Tattoo... not so much on the completing my life part...) I think it was the Swiss gymnastics team that did Thriller? Well, some sort of gymnastics team anyways. But the Tattoo was SO GOOD this year!!! Probably my favourite one yet! And not just because of Thriller... although that did help... I love the bagpipes and the guns and the dancers and the marching bands. It's definitely one of my favourite shows to go see.

In other news, the wedding is swiftly approaching!!! Seven weeks from today! Yikes! (Yikes in a good way... haha!) I'm really excited. I just want it to get here. Peter booked us a hotel room for our wedding night today, but he won't tell me where. Grr... This is going to drive me crazy for the next 7 weeks - I hate surprises! Well, that's not entirely true. I like surprises, but only when they're true surprises so that I have no idea that they're coming. If I know they're coming, then I just want to know. But apparently it's the nicest hotel room that we'll ever stay in our lives, or so he says, so it sounds pretty sweet!! I'm very interested to know where it is!

Back to the Real World

I'm not in Florida anymore. :( I started my job at the Registrar's Office on Monday. It's not so bad... Not super thrilling, but how much can you really expect from an office job? This week, I spent my time following Marianna around everywhere she went. I felt like a lost puppy. haha I did do something all by myself for the last hour of today, but yeah... other than that, I just watched. I found it a bit exhausting, just because it was mostly her doing stuff and me watching and learning.. but it should get better once they get me doing stuff by myself.

On another note, wedding planning is intense! I am in waaaay over my head with this one... I don't even know where to start. *sigh* I'm excited to have the wedding, but I must say.. I'm a lot more excited for it to just be August 24 with everything done and over with so that we can just be married. I am SO glad we decided to have a short engagement, I can definitely say that much!! Ugh.. so much to do...

Vacation!!

Ahh Florida. :) It's soo nice here! I haven't really been doing a good job e-mailing this year, so I thought I'd write a little blog post with some highlights:

1. Shopping for me and Peter's new beach-themed bathroom! They have AWESOME stuff for that here! We found some shells, a SWEET seahorse ornament, a storage box, 3 wall hangings, and a little bottle of shells and sand. Peter was surprisingly into it, and we had a TON of fun!

2. Crib tournament. Peter taught me how to play crip. I beat him in a "first to 7" tournament. I came back from being three behind, won four in a row, and beat him bad. He was super impressed. hahaha

3. Bought wedding shoes, panties, and garter!!!! Found perfect lingerie to match panties and garter for the wedding night, but didn't buy it... Now feeling quite stupid...

4. The rotating restaurant on the top top of a hotel. Very cool! Very yummy cake.

I'd post some pictures, but I've hardly taken any this year... I'll work on that for the next two days before I come home.

Lots of News!

Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote! I got engaged, I'm getting married August 23, I bought a wedding dress, I got some new ink... Wow! It's been insane! But very exciting. I can't wait to be married. I think it's going to be great. My married friends keep telling me that it is, and I believe them.

I have a lot to plan... It's a bit stressful, but everyone's super into helping me out, so that's nice. :) After we set the bridesmaid dresses and tux rentals, most of the major things will be taken care of... The rest will be just details. And marriage counseling... Apparently, my pastor is going to tell us to have lots of sex and be spontaneous. Sounds like fun! haha I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep a straight face through that talk, but I will do my best!

More importantly, however, is a further update on the yogurt. I have determined that I don't like the texture of raspberry yogurt, which sucks because I really like raspberry as a flavour in general... But I am loving the peach and the blueberry. Looks like we've hit the jackpot! Amarea is now eating yogurt! And whole wheat bread! And lettuce on sandwiches! It's true... I've come a long way...

Yogurt Update

Tried the yogurt. I like it... It's a bit hard to get used to, but I think it will grow on me. I bought 12 snack-sized ones. I WILL EAT THEM BEFORE THEY EXPIRE! That's my goal!

Groceries

I went to get some groceries after class today. I spent $80, but I'm still not sure exactly how it came to that much... I didn't buy too much of use, mainly because at this point, eating makes me want to hurl. I did, however, purchase one (yes, one) very small snack size strawberry yogurt. I have issues with yogurt. Namely, I hate it. I'm going to try to change that. I can make myself like yogurt, right? I mean... it's a very good snack - healthy, fat free, semi-filling... I am determined to start LOVING yogurt. Well, at least tolerating it... I'll let you know how the first one goes.
