New Project Anxiety

I have a new project! I love new projects but I always start them with anxiety. I wonder if I can really do this and if they will turn out okay. For those of you who don't know, I do flower crafts and have done several weddings with my mother-in-law. Chantry's step cousin is getting married and asked us to do ALL of the flowers for the wedding. This is something that we have not done before. We have done centerpieces and flower arrangements and one bouquet but never all of them. It is a really big project. We are doing the centerpieces, all of the bouquets, extra flower arrangements around the tables, flowers for the arch, boutonnieres, and the hanging arrangements that go down the aisle. It is not that it is a big project that worries me. It is the fact that my sister-in-law is pregnant and due with her first child three weeks before this wedding. My mother-in-law is going to be FULLY preoccupied with helping her so I told her to let me do more this time then I have before. Hence, the extra anxiety. This week I am going to start on the boutonnieres, bows, and bouquets. I have never done boutonnieres and bouquets before so I am really excited but nervous. I love helping with weddings. They are such a special day and I love to help. So a'craftin I will go this week. Wish me luck!

Birthday Weekend

Chantry is now 29! Last weekend we celebrated Chantry's birthday. It all started on Friday night when we went to his parents house for dinner and games. We played Planet Earth ,which I thought was going to be boring, but it was actually really fun.

The next day was his actual birthday and we decided to spend the morning with just each other and that night with some friends that we have not been able to see for awhile. For brunch we went to Logan and ate at IHOP ( Chantry's favorite breakfast place). We then went shopping at the mall and some local stores. We love spending time together and it was just perfect. That night we went to Maddox for dinner with Chantry's friend Scott and his wife Becky. Then we played the wii and talked. We just had a great time!

The good thing about being married is you get alot of birthdays. So on Sunday we went to my parents for dinner. It was relaxing and fun. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! I have the best husband in the world and hope that he had the best day!

EA Sports Active...oh how I love thee

We have recently found a new workout on the Wii system that we absolutely love. It is called EA Sports Active Personal Trainer. We had originally wanted to get Wii fit but it is so expensive and sometimes it feels like I am not really getting a workout. We researched other workout systems and sports active was moderate in price and seemed to really offer good workouts. So, out we went and got the game. It comes with a leg strap ( for the nunchuck to go when you are doing squats, running, walking, lunges, and some sports) and a resistance band. The fun thing about this is you can buy another pack to go with it and work out with your spouse.

We started last Thursday and I can honestly say that it gives you an excellent workout. I was so sore for a couple of days. It has a trainer that shows you how to properly do all of the moves and it provides a profile to help meet your goals. It does cardio along with toning and strenghtening. We absolutely love this new workout and have a great time working out together. Hopefully it will help me reach my goals for weightloss this year. Swimsuit weather here I come! Public pools I am not so sure about because they are kind of nasty....
