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!
