Hi All!
I hope you had a great weekend! Chris and I had a fun and relaxing weekend here in St Louis. I am home for one more week before I have to hit the road again so we took full advantage of today and have been watching football all afternoon/evening. It is one of our favorite things to do in the fall so it is nice that we finally get to do it without me having to leave for the airport.
We created our wedding website tonight. You can find it at the following link: http://www.theknot.com/ourwedding/BethanyVerDouw&ChrisMalone
The wedding date and location has been set, my dress has been ordered so now we can sit back and relax for a while. One of the beauties of a destination wedding is the resort takes care of pretty much everything! It is so nice being I am gone so much that I don't have to worry about finding the time to get everything done.
I hope everyone has a good week!

Yay for free WiFi!
Hi everyone!
I am currently writing this post in Boston airport as I wait for my flight to Minneapolis to go wedding dress shopping this weekend with my mom, future mother-in-law and godmother. I am super excited to see all of them and hope we have a great time shopping tomorrow.
I want to apologize for my delay in posts the last few weeks. Since Labor Day weekend I have been in Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts twice. I will be adding another trip to MN this weekend and then back to Boston for 1 more week before I fly back into Arkansas where Chris will pick me up to spend the weekend with his aunt and uncle. Finally, I will have 4 days in Orlando for work training before I actually have 2 weeks off from work travel. Whew! It has been a whirlwind these last 2 months and the rest of the fall appears to be the same until I get a couple weeks off at Christmas. Yes, you counted right - that is 11 states in 2 months and I may drive up to Maine next week if I have time just to say I was there. :)
In between all of the traveling we were finally able to make it up to MN and move my stuff out of my condo so now everything is in Illinois. I am working with a property management company to get my condo rented so if you know of anyone looking for a place to rent in Coon Rapids let me know.
We have also made a few decisions about the wedding. Nothing is booked yet, but we are planning on doing a destination wedding in Mexico over Memorial Day weekend. We wanted a small wedding and thought it would be fun to travel there being neither of us have been there before. Once we decide on a resort we will let you know all the details.
The weight loss journey has not been well the last two months among all this craziness. I have gained some of the weight back and am only down 18 pounds at the moment. It is still great to be at that point but I need to get my butt back in gear. I have been trying to eat as healthy as I can on this stretch of road travel but it does get difficult. I have been working 12 hour days and sometimes eating healthy is not my idea of fun at 9 pm. I may need some encouragement from each of you to help me get back on track. I seem to do well every week until about Thursday night and that is when the work week catches up to me and I make bad eating decisions. I will get back on track one step at a time.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! You probably won't hear from me for 2 weeks but I will finally be done with travel for a few weeks and will catch you up more then!
