And One More Thing...

I finally got my Texas teaching certificate! No more explaining my crazy situation to everyone, because I CAN LEGALLY TEACH IN TEXAS!!!

I've been trying to get it since July, but they had lost my paperwork and then misfiled my fingerprint information causing a mess. I've sent many faxes and been on countless calls with the TEA to get it straightened out, so this is a huge relief.

Wedding Dress

My wedding dress arrived from J Crew on Friday! I really love it, and it has Charlie's approval too. I'm not letting him see me in it until the wedding day, but I definitely want to make sure I get something that he likes too. It looks exactly like I imagined, and the best part is, it has pockets. LOVE!

I'm still not positive it's THE one, but we'll find out soon when I do some major shopping in Chicago!

My New Friend

Charlie's parents came to visit us for the first time this weekend, and we had a lot of fun. We  ate and shop, shop, shopped! I also got my way cool birthday gift from them. A LABEL MAKER! If you know how completely OCD I am about organization, then you can understand how great I think this is.

Here is what I've accomplished today:
When we moved I unpacked and put everything in a place, and Charlie always got frustrated when he couldn't find something, so this is great for him also.

And for some more good news...

This past week I didn't have time to go to the gym, so I only got in 45 min walks with the doggie, and since we had company, I ate my heart out. I'm talking veggie burgers (not the healthy kind), cheese fries, chocolate chip cookies, chips, pizza, spaghetti... you name it, it probably went into my face this weekend. I only weigh myself once a week, and I had already had a huge breakfast, so needless to say I was terrified to do it today and lose all the progress I had been making. This was my lucky week though, because I actually lost weight! Woo hoo!
