[The Good]
1. We are one step closer to booking a venue for our wedding. This past weekend, amidst the 20+ inches of snow that blanketed Denver, J's and my mom visited a few of our top locations for us. I was able to narrow it down to a few places based on what we could see online, pricing and availability but you can't really get the full effect and ambiance of a place unless you actually see it. The moms are currently making their decisions and there will be a secret vote for how the sites rank soon. Even though we have quite some time to plan still I can't help but be excited to get a venue and date set in stone.
2. About 2 weeks ago I made the biggest purchase of my life. I am now the proud owner of a 2012 Honda Civic. My old car, Ruby, was a 1997 2-door Saturn with over 160,000 miles. She made this squealing noise most of the time, her dome light was falling out, the automatic windows always rolled down but not always up.... needless to say she was a little bit on the rough side and I needed an upgrade. Well J and I went to a couple dealerships one rainy Saturday, with no intent on buying anything, and we drove home in the new car!

1. It's been dreary and cloudy all day and literally as I type this it's started raining. I am seriously NOT a fan of the rain. The cold or the snow I'm totally fine with. But the rain, y-u-c-k! There's no way to avoid getting wet in it, it makes people in San Diego drive like they only have one eye, and it makes me completely and utterly unproductive.
2. I've been trying to get more motivated lately to be active and start working out again. I downloaded the RunKeeper app through the Android market that uses GPS to track your route, pace and elevation. I updated my account on MyFitnessPal and I've been pinning "at home workouts" since we don't have a membership to a gym. However, I just can't seem to get in the groove of working out right now. My ultimate goal is to be in better shape and have more muscle tone (not necessarily weight loss) so it's hard to get motivated to run instead of eating a second piece of chocolate. I'm hoping that the longer days and better weather that's to come in the spring months will help but for now I could use a Jillian Michaels of sorts.

1. J is going back to CO this coming weekend to visit his family. I've subtely mentioned a couple of times that we've been needing more prayers and positive thoughts since the holidays and his trip home has to do with this. I realize that I am being totally vague every time I mention this but there's a lot of privacy and personal details that I don't want to share and I want to respect J's family (and my new family). My side of the family is seriously small and I cherish the fact that I'll be gaining so much in this arena by marrying into this new family. Basically what it boils down to is a pretty sick relative and J wanting to spend some quality time in CO.
