I really need to work on posting more often so my posts are so long and full of so much information! First off the new job, well plans have changed and I will be staying at Mercantile. A stupid mistake from my past made the Salvation Army withdraw their offer for the position. Good news though, Mercantile has given me a promotion and an excellent raise. I am now the Marketing Project Manager for the bank. Most of the projects that we do are now my responsibility and my boss is to help with any problems I have and she also does the compliance check and approval.
June 11th I ran my second 5k, but did not improve my time like I wanted too. I guess that's what happens when you go from running 4 days a week to once a month. I really slacked off after I ran my first one, but I am determined to get back into it and improve my time at my next race. I think I will run the 5k Turkey Run on Thanksgiving Day?
And now onto the BIGGEST news...Flaiz and I became engaged on June 25, 2011!!!! We are so excited and I can't wait to plan our big day, but in the mean time we've been busy telling all our friends and family. Our favorite part is seeing the reaction on their faces or hearing it in their voices. Our dream date is 9/22/12, exactly 3 1/2 years after we started dating. We have our first meeting with the priest tomorrow night...how exciting! I've also been calling reception halls, getting pricing information so we can pick one. Those are our two biggest concerns right now so we can get our date set and after that we'll worry about the other details later. We've also been discussing our attendants. What a hard decision! My number I have always wanted was five, but as of now we are up to seven. Flaiz has a lot of close friends as do I and we don't want to leave anyone out of it. We think we can get it down to six if I ask one of my girls to do us another huge favor and he has one of his be an usher. So many decisions, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I also want those that mean the most to me to be up there with me. What do you do if you have a friend that you don't feel as close to anymore or have been hurt by, but you feel you would hurt their feelings by not asking them? We've got our list made now we just need to make the final decisions. We are not going to ask anyone officially until this fall so we have some time to thing about it. We'll see how things go up until that point.
whoop whoop!!!! I was JUST going to write on your facebook (and Cassie's!) that you girls need to get back to blogging!!! I'm SOOOO glad things are going so well for you in your life!!!!! Isn't it crazy how you think you know how you want your wedding to be, details and all, and then when it is actually happening you're like AAAAHHHH I don't know?!?!??! hahaha at least that's how I was :) I WOULD love to start running again and do another 5K...maybe when I get a more normal routine (will that ever happen?!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I've been waiting for you to make another post, and this is a good one! Your wedding date will be here before you know it. It's crazy how time flies when you're planning.
ReplyDeleteI'd run a 5k with you, but not on Thanksgiving day. If you hear of one before then, let me know. Maybe we could make a trip up there for it.
Laura - I know I have been slacking big time! I will try to do better. I am so excited for how things are going right now and couldn't be happier! As OCD as I am the wedding will probably be all planned out way before the wedding and I will be sitting around just waiting for it to get here :) If you start running and want to go sometime give me a call.
ReplyDeleteJD - Our wedding is still over a year away, but I am sure it will be here before we know it. We, I mean I am so excited to start planning all the details. I will be on the lookout for 5k runs that we could possibly do together. There is one August 20th, but I have a wedding that day. I thought about running it before I got get my hair done, but what if something happens? That would be my luck :)
