Now that it's done, I can focus on editing some of our wedding video and putting together a small album of my Bridal Shower, Bachelorette Party and our Rehearsal Dinner and after those are checked off I can start the project I'm so excited about... scrap booking our honeymoon! ICELAND!
I have been so antsy and really wanting to edit the photos and to put together a better video than I had slapped together right after the trip. I have so many awesome photos I didn't post when I was blogging over there that I am really looking forward to putting them on the blog! I am not tackling it currently because I am the type of person who gets overwhelmed way too easily and need to focus on only one or two projects at a time and now that I plan on blogging more... it will just be too much.
I have been thinking of some fun things to blog on here! I may do a post on my tattoos soon and maybe a hair tutorial but right now I may just do a weeks recap as things have been pretty busy this past week.
Though, I have a really fun project that I filmed a short video for and as soon as I get all the prints edited (I'm on 4 of 12) I will post the video and the prints here and I am hoping to get them in my store to sell! I really wanted to be able to post them today but I couldn't get them finished in time...it will just have to wait (There was 50% on shutterfly, had to finish my wedding album first... can't miss 50%)!
Ok so on with the post ;)
I held my first Easter Dinner and we had both of our parents over! I was nervous and wanted to make it really special so I did my best with the table settings and food! They were also so wonderful to bring some side dishes over! We were able to set up our dining room table that we have on the back porch since it has been so beautiful out! Here are a few photos from our get together!
Creepiest cake ...ever. Thanks Dad ;) Love you!
I think Easter turned out lovely!
April has been very busy and I'm making time for myself lately. I've been working out since the start of the new year and really learned that you have to give yourself time for it or it will never happen. I'm really hoping to get into a 5k soon!
I have been trying to control my weight a little better since behind diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. The photos below are a few years ago (I just noticed I don't have any recent ones, I will have to update that) but it gives you the idea of how I fluctuate with my weight. The below photo is a 30 lbs weight difference! It's tough. But I'm getting to know my body better and now that I have a reason for the weight changes, I'm not as frustrated with myself!
My goal is 7-10 more pounds, the same weight I was in the photo on the right. I have been walking as much as possible during my lunch break and walking an incline or running after work for about a mile on our treadmill. I like to walk the incline to work my legs and bum and I wear ankle weights (2.5 lbs each foot) to make it a little tougher. I walk up a 10% incline. The neighborhood is beautiful that I walk in during lunch with so many pretty homes.
We have also been doing a lot of projects around the house- sorry for all the cell phone photos - I promise to start using my other camera more- sometimes it's just all I have at the moment :)
I wanted to paint the front door a pretty color (it was brown). So I did. I really love it except we have to power wash brown paint off the lower half of the house. I will look 100 times better once I do that. I don't mind paint on the lower half of houses, covering the cinder bricks, but it's just not for me. We get a ton of sun too and the paint bubbles and peels and is a pain to keep up with.
Before- brown door- sorry it's a bad photo
During
After
We have so much we still want to do to our home and we have the time this year since we aren't planning our wedding!
They love to watch when we do yardwork
My plant babies! I'm doing okay this year- haven't killed any of them yet!
We also decided to put a flower bed around the tree in the back after our fire pit didn't work out since the dogs kept getting caught on it. I am so happy with how it turned out! We did buy a new fire pit - one we can move...
I have been crafting a ton to get my store started and hopefully do a craft show. I dream of someday working from home... really. Anyways... things have been kind of a mess because I have craft supplies upstairs, downstairs, on our porch... everywhere.
Fold over purses... this was my rough draft purse and please don't mind the monsters arm in the top right of the photo. I plan on taking some nice photos for the blog of these products and then they will be available for purchase on the link to either Etsy or another site I decide to sell on.
Below are some of the salads I've been making- SO GOOD! I'm really trying to watch more of what goes into my body and cut down sugar too... I really like to put the fake crab meat on them... I know it's not the best for you but YUM! Since I've been working out and really watching what I eat, I'm down 9 lbs!
I can't remember what these were called but my Dad made me try them... they were so good! I will have to ask him again!
So- before I said things were getting out of hand with my craft supplies, well i just about had it on Saturday and couldn't even think straight. I went out to Home Depot at about 7pm and stayed up until 3am to put together my craft supply shelving unit in our laundry room. I just couldn't stand having things everywhere all the time! I can't tell you how happy I am to have this and it freed up so much space upstairs in our spare bedroom! YIPPPIEEEE!
Well... :) That's all I've got for now- Tomorrow is May! My Birthday month! I will keep posting some fun things on here - maybe not so much any recaps as I think maybe some other things may be more fun ;) Let me know what you think!
