Another Friday!

Yay for Friday's!  I love Friday's, I only teach 4 classes on this day so it's a nice little break from the hectic week I have with very few breaks.  I am actually teaching more classes this year then the head teacher over here which is a first but it keeps me busy :)

Tomorrow Matt and I are having our first cake testing and then next Sat we will have another one.  I have a pretty good idea of what I want so I'm looking forward to seeing what we can all come up with. 

Next week we have our first program which will be with our 3rd graders and I'm looking forward to it and it being OVER!  haha programs are so much work.  I feel like we have so much more going on this year becasue our program requirement has been bumped up so everytime I turn around were looking for something new to do with a different grade level.  Let's just say I'm so ready for a BREAK! 

We had our weigh in today and I lost 3 pounds this week which is exciting :)  It's coming off slowly but surely.  I have an app on my phone that helps me count my calories and it says by May 31st I will have reached my goal weight so lets hope so! 

Have a great weekend! 

Only 213 more days....

 Where Matt asked me to marry him:)



Friday

It's amazing how quickly the weeks have been flying by and here we are another first week in November has come and gone.  I am looking forward to Daylight savings this weekend for driving in the dark in the mornings is really no fun. 

I have had severe back pain since Tuesday morning.  Not real sure what I did.  I worked out really hard on Monday and did some funky push ups so I"m wondering if I pulled something or have a pinched nerve.  Needless to say I haven't slept much this week for lying down is quite uncomfortable.  I've decided that I can't take it anymore and will be going to the Dr next week.  So my work outs for the rest of the week had to consist of walks which aren't enough when you're trying to see big numbers, so I've maintained haven't lost.  But it's better then GAINING!  I'm really mad because I had decided to up my work outs big time from 45 mins to an hour and 15 mins.  I have only 218 more days to be a thinner (not too skinny) version of myself :)  So let's kick this back pain in the butt and move on!

I feel like my blogs are quite boring so you will probably see fewer of them until I have more exciting things to tell.  Wedding plans are coming along nicely were looking for a cake place right now so that should be fun to go and see and try.  Other then that it seems all under control :)

Happy Birthday to my dad on Sunday!

Continuing on

First things first, this is for my mother who if I dont' post it here will ask me in an email, so no no, weight lost or gained this week.  I maintained what I did last week which I'm pleased with. 

Now moving on to more important things :)

I went dress shopping last weekend with some of my gf's and I'm pretty darn sure I found the dress.  I'm really excited about it!  So come on June 11th!

This week has been anothe crazy week, mom and I met with a caterer on Monday and figured out some food options for the reception which I'm fine with.  I had friends over for dinner last night and had fun with them but didn't enjoy watching the Rangers lose!

I got my flu shot today so I'm thankful we get those for free!

Something I'm looking forward to which is kind of dorky but I don't care, the month of Nov and Decemeber is when KVIL plays non stop Christmas music and I can't wait! 

This weekend will be a nice relaxing one because there is not much going on.  Mattt and I have been apt hunting the past month and I think we've decided on a place but we will see. 

I ran in to my sister and Campbell and Ellis at Supertarget yesterday and Campbell could hardly wait to yell out "BOOTS" to me, because he was wearing his cowboy boots and hat which I thought was hilarious.  Wish I had taken a picture.  Ellis gave me a smile too which warmed my heart.  Love those 3!

Here's a great verse I found for myself this week....

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding with guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
phillipians 4:6-7

Have a great weekend!

Short week

This week was short but filled with lots of school things we had to do so I've been busy!  I'm so glad it's Friday again, the days keep flying by!

Last Sunday Matt and I attended the Rangers game which was disappointing but then they won on Tuesday so that's excting for them!  On Halloween evening were going to our first Cowboys game.  One of his friends won tickets and passed them out amongst his friends which is really cool we get to go :)

Rangers game :)

We had our second and 3rd softball game this week.  We lost our first then won our 2nd.  I think we've finally found our groove which is exciting.  I love playing it's such great exercise and I ran a lot!  I also had an awesome hit at the end but the guy caught it was it was pretty sweet!

 

Can't believe in only 239 days (yup still counting)  I'll be Mrs. Matthew Craig Bourland :)  Pretty exciting.  This weekend were apt hunting again in Dallas (which I'm secretly rooting that's where we'll be)  But I know we will find somewhere that's comfortable for both of us.  So weird after 4 years of living on my own I'll have a roommate!  That should be interesting :)

Oh and ps we didn't have a weigh in today because our nurse is out but I went ahead and did my own weigh in this morning.  The scale is looking nicer and nicer these days. 

Have a great weekend!

We also had our first Fall softball game this week which we lost but that's ok we had a lot of fun playing!  Some of the other teams are really serious but our team were ok with just having fun.  I hit every single time and got on base but the last time up to bat!  Which unfortunatly I struck out and was the 3rd out making us not get anymore runs to win but OH WELL!

I also got to spend some quality time with campbell and Ellis on Tuesday which always makes me happy.  I asked Campbell if he loved me and he said "yep".  I then asked Ellis the same thing and she cried so I'll continue working on her!

Have a great weekend!

Good times

Well I've lost 10 pounds this month and I'm very pleased with myself.  I've worked very hard eating right and exercising 6 ouf of the 7 days.  Now it's time to step up my game a little.  Matt and I will be doing the Jililan 30 day shred together which I'm excited that he's wanting to do it too.  So here we come lean, mean future Mr and Mrs Bourland!

I can't believe it's already October!  I know these next few months are going to fly by so I'm trying to enjoy every minute of it!

I was having a hard time deciding on colors for bridesmaids, which will be my sister and sister in law and I'm really happy about that!  I thought for a long time about all the wonderful friends I have and whose weddings I've been in but am happy and pleased to say that were all really excited about being in the house party!  So I think having Emily and Hilary is really special and I'm excited.  Anyway I have been looking at the knot.com searching for colors that just popped out at me and I came across this picture....

And I just knew that purple was going to be my color!  I may even go a hint lighter on the bridesmaids dresses but I love the color of the dresses on here they're so pretty.  Plus I think Emily and Hilary will look really pretty in purple. 

This weekend we have a fun line up with friends which of course will involve watching the Tx?Ou game, you know how much I love watching football....(not)  but I'm trying!

Here's to 253 more days (yes go ahead and roll your eyes I DO know how many more days till my wedding) of planning, spending time with family and friends and enjoying having a fiance :)  Life is good!
