Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity
You guessed correctly, it's my weight. I've gained weight since J and I started dating, because as the saying goes, "When you're happy you get fat." No, I haven't put on a tremendous amount of weight or anything but I'd like to be smaller/tighter in my stomach and arms. Right before I met J I had lost A LOT of weight and I liked the size I was, I wasn't as small as I was in high school but I was comfortable with myself. I had started trying to loose weight right when we got engaged but I didn't stick with it. So for now since there like zero time to work out, I'm just watching what I eat so I can make sure to fit in my fancy dress for the wedding :) Once the wedding is over and I have more time, I really want to start running or doing something in a routine every day at the new house!
Wedding news: Yesterday we finally got the quote for the food for the reception and I am very pleased to announce that the food for everyone at the wedding is only going to cost $300! We also got all of the plates, forks, knives, spoons, cups and beverage dispensers for $172. So for food and utensils, we're only spending about $500 total which is incredible since most caterer's charge you per person about $10 or more. I'm so excited! Be prepared for a backyard Barbecue feel for our reception, we're having Burgers, Grilled Chicken, potato salad, baked beans and cole slaw.
Mom kind of went nuts yesterday in Hobby Lobby, they had ALL of their wedding stuff on sale! She got bows for the chairs for the ceremony to mark off where the family is sitting and bought DIY boutonnieres for the boys which is great because we weren't planning on having them at the wedding, we thought they were a waste of money but Mom really wanted to do them so I told her it was her project :) She said they had eggplant purple callalillies and cute ribbons to go with them, she was really excited about them on the phone and I can't wait to see them today!
My bachlorette party is tomorrow and I get to see all of my girls in one place and I am STOKED to say the least! I'm not sure what all the girls have planned but I know we're going to a really fun restaurant in downtown Charlotte called the Cajun Queen, ever heard of it? It's some of the Cajun food you'll find around, I'm really hoping that they will have a jazz band! I can't wait to get all dressed either :)
Happy St. Patrick's Day, I hope you all wore green as to avoid pinching! I wore a green shirt just to make sure, I remember in high school there was one year I forgot and all the pinching was kind of annoying so I've made sure ever since then :) Hopefully I'll get to drink some green beer tonight. Wishing we were going to Virginia this weekend to stay with Donna, B-Rad, Andrew and Rebekah, first time in we haven't been able to in the past 3 years.

Pouring Rain
It's quite dreary outside today and I have a busy day ahead. Hopefully the day will go by quickly! We finished hanging the blinds in the new house last night, Jake was a big help to J with that. I'm supposed to go and look at some dresses with Rachel tonight for her wedding and I'm really excited about seeing the choices she's narrowed down! Sorry for the quick post, have a good day!
Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently
The biggest impact in my life in the last 5 months has been Buddy, he's definitely altered my routine but I can't really remember what life was like before him. He's gotten so big lately!

45 days
Only 45 days til the wedding, I can't believe it's so close! It feels soooo far away...
I had a bad allergy attack yesterday so I stayed home from work to recover from that and rest. I got to catch up on my laundry too which was nice. Most of day was spent laying on the couch with with Buddy watching TLC and MTV. We've been crazy busy with the house this past weekend and I can't believe it's actually our house! We have started painting and are slowly making progress, J and Carlos painted the Master Bedroom, the Guest room and bath, the landing area and 1/2 of the stairs and livingroom...we also bought blinds and our microwave for above the stove too.
Missy bought all of the plates, cups, silverware and beverage dispensers this weekend at Sams. Hopefully the bill won't be too incredibly high. Besides the food, we only have to pay for the chairs, alcohol, rental of the property and the photographer. Not too shabby since I paid for the DJ in full already as well as our wedding bands last week and I didn't have to dip into savings, praise the Lord!

Patrick Whitlock Hamilton Jr. was born yesterday at 4:18pm. He weighed 7 pounds 11 oz.
J and I were so excited to go to the hospital to meet him and wish Dana and Patrick Congrats!
He slept almost the whole time we were there. I was nervous to hold him it's been forever since I've held a newborn, probably 11 years since Carson was born... geeze I feel old.
Day 15 - A picture of something you want to do before you die
I've always wanted to go and eat Gelato in Italy!
I didn't know til I Googled it that Julia Roberts did it in Eat, Pray, Love. I haven't seen the movie, I heard it was awful. Anyone else have a review of the movie to share with me?
So since I was out yesterday I'm going to play catch up on the Photo Challenege!
Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you
My little sister inspires me! She has such a heart for missions and for serving the Lord. She makes me want to be better and walk out a better Christian walk.

Photo Challenge Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without
Of course it's J :) He's the best man I've ever met.
I'm lucky, I get to marry my best friend!
PS work is crazy busy today. We got a whole pile of new things to offer clients today and a whole list of new 'accountability procedures' to check off everyday now. It's kind of frustrating but I know will help immensely. I dropped the paint off at the new house today and saw we had a trash can and a recycling bin from the city! Busy weekend ahead with painting and cleaning and starting to get settled in so J can move in. Any and all come and see the house tonight if you're avaliable, if you need the address just text me! We get to see Dana and Patrick tonight, they're stopping by to see the house! We're all hoping to see their baby sometime in the next few days, he's being quite stubborn about making his appearance into this world.
