Oldies but Goodies...

Sorry I could not figure out how to rotate James' image...

Busy, but good...

Like the color??? I hope I do!!
I am sorry it has been awhile since my last post. Alot has been happening lately, it seems I will be moving within the month, getting married in two, and graduating in two and a half. WHEW!!! It is finally hitting home that everything is just around the corner. James and I found a great house to rent for the next two years, so I am preparing for the move. We have great new landlords who have let us pick new paint/carpet for the house. Choosing paint color was a new experience for me. If you have ever been to my current house, you have seen my "green apple" room. Abbie and I were picking colors before we moved this time 4 years ago, and I literally went in and found the tab at Sherwin Williams that said "green apple". Now don't get me wrong, I have loved my REALLY bright lime room, but I learned a valuable lesson...There is alot more to picking paint colors than picking one that sounds good. I am such a food person, I picked a paint that sounded like it tasted good!! :) With some help from my mother and sister we settled on a color called Blonde (above) for most of the house. I think it will look good, as it is kind of neutral but with warm gold undertones.
I have also been working on wedding details. I really thought I had it pretty much together, but I realized quickly this week there is still much to be done. I am blessed with a wonderful mother and mother-in-law to be that are definitely making things easier.
We have one more week until spring break, so I am looking forward to some time off in school. A group of nine of us Seniors are then headed to Japan the week after Spring Break. I am participating in a foreign exchange program with a Japanese dental school, Mekai University. We heard we get to do alot of Karoke!! Should get some good pics to post...

Showered...

I just wanted to share a few pictures from our Joint Couples Shower with Abbie and Logan from this past weekend. We had a wonderful time. It was so good to get to see high school/college friends, dental school friends, and family. We were blown away by everyone's support and generosity! It was held at the Rader's house (Lacey's parentals) in Crestline. They have a beautiful home, and were so kind to open it up for the party. We played the Nearlywed game against Abbie and Logan. Dr. Dave Rader was the host, and was hysterical! I got some right, missed a few (like Jame's favorite fruit...APPLE!) but it was all in fun...All of the hostesses did an awesome job, and worked sooo HARD. So thank you each so much, you are the BEST!!

Boot Camp

I started Boot Camp this morning. I have mixed feelings about this. It is a great challenging workout, but at 5:30 in the AM. I am a morning person, but it can be hard to get moving at 5:00 am (especially when it is 32 degrees outside). My favorite part of bootcamp is the variety. Each day brings a different workout. Today was cardio/strength intervals. We did alot of jumping rope and squats/lunges/ pushups. I can feel the soreness coming on. I also love the intensity of it. I have a hard time pushing myself. I tend to get in a workout rut where I do the same thing over and over, because I am comfortable with the routine. This definitely does not promote comfort. Anyway, just wanted to encourage everyone to shake things up with your workout routine. You might be sore, but that means its working right??

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Birthday Caroline!

This is a shot of us at the beach from Caroline's bachelorette weekend, so fun!! Caroline-your friendship is such a blessing to me! I hope you have a fabulous day!

Townhouse for Sale!

Abbie and I are selling our townhouse. It has been a wonderful home for us the last four years. Abbie, Molly, and I have shared some great memories there.
