Ramblings.

Here I sit... 5:22 AM.
I've been up since 4:30 AM when Jeff left for work.
I should go run, but it is snowy.
(Since I'm not a runner, conditions must be prime)
So I'll workout inside instead.

I'm trying to get fit for the wedding.
And really just life, too.
But you know what sucks?
Back fat.
You can not suck in back fat.
Does that mean that back fat actually doesn't suck?

So many people tell me that they fought more with their spouse during their engagement and wedding planning time than any other time in their relationship.
Jeff and I have never been happier.
Cheesy, I know.
But seriously, it's always been great and now it's just greater!

My dog is almost 4. That's 28 in dog years.
He's the best.
I'd have so many blog posts dedication to him, but I don't want people to think I'm a crazy dog lady.
Like all the posts people have for their children.
How cute they are. (He's damn cute.)
Their accomplishments. (He has mastered "bang" where I point my finger like a gun and shoot and then he plays dead.)
Potty-training. (He's poops on the grass EVERY time!)
See? I told you - the best!

How Can I Miss You If You Never Leave?

Life is busy, to say the least.  I like it that way.

Jeff and I don't see each other as often as I'd like, BUT we definitely see each other more than like a military family or long-distance relationships.  So I'm thankful.

The beginning of the week is hectic and then it slows down.  It is a bummer to not have dinner together every night like last semester but we'll survive.  I am so glad we are able to spend time together.  In our free time we have been rock climbing and wedding planning.  I have the best supporter by my side and am so happy to have him!

P.S... Wonder why Jeff is working SO MUCH? It might have something to do with... ANOTHER PROMOTION!  Woo hoooo! Jeff has such a strong dedication to his work and I'm so proud of him.

I bought a...

A WEDDING DRESS!
I am so excited! I love it! If I could customize a dress myself, this one would be it.
I went dress shopping with my mom, sisters, and Leah and after I tried this one on, no other dresses compared. 
Here it is....

Hahaha totally kidding, I am not posting pictures of the real deal because Jeff cannot see it!
It feels so good to check that part off of the to-do list! Not much left to do really.  5 months to go!
