WEDaches

First, I want to thank Mother Nature for finally sending the sun out. It sure has been a lot nicer and it definitely makes me have a better attitude!

The weekend was okay. I had set big goals for myself in the wedding department, but unfortunately, didn't get as much as I wanted done...make that NOTHING done. Friday night I did Jillian Michael's "Boost your Metabolism" workout DVD. It's tough, but I always feel so good afterwards. Saturday I had an appointment for a massage...it was nice & relaxing. Instead of motivating me to get wedding things done, I think it made me even lazier. Saturday evening I started to get a Wedache (**Wedache - another term for headache that is caused from wedding related stress), which turned into a Migraine. Sadly, I still had a "wedache" when I woke up on Sunday, so I pretty much laid on the couch, in the dark most of the day. I know that stressing out over all that needs to be done is pointless and I try to take it one day at a time, but sometimes the stress takes over! However, we've set 3 goals for ourselves for this week in regards to the wedding:

1. Finish figuring out our music for the ceremony, dinner, first dance, father/daughter dance, wedding party dance, "grand march" & most importantly our DO NOT PLAY list (sorry there will be NO Macarena at this shindig).
2. Apply for our Marriage License. Actually before we can apply, we should probably figure out where/how we even do this....
3. Enjoy our Bachelor / Bachelorette parties this weekend...

I guess it's safe to say at least ONE thing on our "to do" list will be accomplished this week :)

Happy Monday!

Hello World of Blogging!

Alright, so this is my very first blog post...I know, I know, you're so excited you can hardly contain yourself! I'm not really sure what you're "supposed" to write in these things, but I'll give it my best shot.

I'm probably not the most fascinating person, but I'm hoping to use this blog as a way to write about all the ups, downs, good & bad that happen in the "life of Leah". Leah would be ME! I've just recently entered my 30's (which doesn't feel any different than 29), I live with my best friend & fabulous Fiance, Kyle and our 6 year old Golden Retriever, Hannah. I'm an Accountant (yawn) at the University of MN. And although it's not the most exciting job, I truly do love it. Usually life is pretty mellow for me, but lately, things are crazy, good crazy, but crazy none-the-less! In 37 days Kyle & I will be getting married...hold on a second while I have a minor panic attack! No, not because I'm marrying Kyle, but because there's only 37 days until the wedding and what feels like 451,156,569 things left to do. Everyone keeps telling me to "take deep breaths" and that "things will get done", but all I can think of is HOW? I know that all that really matters is that at the end of the day, we'll be married, but let's be honest, every girl wants their wedding day to be PERFECT and I'm certainly no different. I'm trying to remain calm and enjoy these last weeks of planning, anticipating & preparing, but I'm ready for the day to be here.
