My First Entry







8:44 AM- I am sitting in bed with a cup of coffee in my hand, waiting for my two little girls to wake up. I've been at it since 5:30 AM this morning. Don't ask me where I have gotten all this energy lately. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not a morning person. I enjoy sleeping in (whenever motherhood allows me too). But, for some reason, I've been feeling like I just had a 5 hour energy shot before the sun even comes up (although, I still can't turn down the Starbucks cup of coffee, my fiance brewed for me before he left for work).  I guess I just can't shut my brain off. There are too many exciting events up ahead and a lot of planning to get done.

     For those of you who don't know, my amazing partner of almost 2 years , David Lattimer, proposed to me on Christmas Eve. After Christmas Eve mass, he took me to the front of our church, got on one knee, and asked me to be his wife. He is such a compassionate, loving man, and we have a beautiful little girl together (Eden).

    So, now the wedding planning begins and it is VERY overwhelming. We are planning for our wedding to be in November/December 2011. And of course, we are planning a destination wedding on a tropical beach. Dave and I wouldn't have it any other way.  We have been spending almost every spare moment, searching for a beautiful beach to get married on. Although we would like to stay in US territory, it looks as if our options are pointing towards going out of country. We are still in the midst of planning through our AAA agent. I will definitely let everyone know, as soon as we nail down a location. As for our honeymoon, we may either just stay longer at our wedding destination, or we are also throwing around the idea of touring Italy.

   Also, currently planning the 1st birthday party of our little Eden! She turns one on March 9th and her birthday party will be on March 12th. I am waiting on the invitiations to come in the mail, and then will send them out ASAP.


  So far, 2011 has been a very exciting year. Just less than two weeks ago, I was able to take a roadtrip with my older sister to see our younger sister at Duke University. It was an amazing weekend and we had some great sister bonding time. It is great to take advantage of times like that, when you are able too. Spending a whole weekend with my sisters, made me feel like a kid again. I think that was the first time we had all hung out that long, since we WERE children. Definitely have plans to keep an annual sister trip for the future years.
  

As for this coming weekend, Dave and I are getting our engagement photos taken. We are really excited about the theme. NaNa will be babysitting the girls, while we are getting them done. Looking forward to it!



That's all for now. I think I hear Eden jabbering. :)

   


































A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must
love one another.

Train Like a Beast, Look Like a Beauty

Image
        Flashback to my high school years and I was running on average six miles a day, five or six days a week, as well as lifting. Good ole cross-country! To say the least, I haven't really kept up with that regimen. I have been randomly working out or going on little spurts of daily exercise over the years, but never really fully dedicated myself to training. Just recently, one of my best friends and I started working out everyday before the sun even comes up. It was extremely hard to get out of bed that early, especially since I am NOT a morning person at all. But we are now on our third week of working out and it feels so great! I hope I can keep this momentum going and just feel healthier all around.       Sometimes all you need to push yourself that extra mile is the perfect workout song. When I was in cross-country, I remember always listening to fast paced and sometimes even outright angry music to get pumped up before the race. Currently my favorite workout songs are:

Swisher Sweeties in Frankenmuth, MI

Image
     After coming home from a long work weekend, and being curled up on the couch watching TV with my husband and youngest daughter, I realized I haven't been keeping up much with my blog. We have all been extremely busy lately. Thursday morning, I left for my Swisher promotional job and headed to Detroit. The hotel was gorgeous! In the restaurant area they had a live jazz band and extremely tasty food. I enjoyed sitting and listening to them for a couple hours.  The next morning, I headed towards Frankenmuth, MI where the Country Fest would be going on for the next couple of days. The environment was so much fun. Live bands, cowboys and cowgirls for 6/7 hours a day with the other Swisher girls. We had a blast. Saturday, since we didn't have to be at work until 6,  the three of us girls got to explore Frankenmuth a little. Even though it was very chilly out, we wandered around cute shops and restaurants. The Fall season was definitely in the air.    We wo
