New me- new blog!
For everyone (no one, really, let's be honest) who reads this, things in my life are waaaaaay different than the last time that I made that post. In *shorthand* summary, Tom and I postponed (between the two of us) then tossed that idea and went full-bore towards planning a wedding- had horrible, terrible fights and disagreements, officially postponed wedding, almost split-up, went to counseling, got back on track, planned a trip to the beach and are now getting married in 2 weeks- at said beach vacation. I am actually exhausted typing (remembering) all of these details, but sometimes that is exactly how life goes, no?
The ceremony we have planned is taking place on the beach (weather permitting) and will just be Tom, myself and the officiant, and the coordinator. Friends and family have said that this is what we should have done all along and for sure, I know now that I was fighting this inevitability. I have always felt that the validation part of a wedding was proclaiming the love and committment publicly, and more specifically, in front of family. So trying to make that happen, for various reasons I have discussed previously and won't rehash, that wasn't happening for me, for US. Having come to terms with this, through a major scare with Tom and I, we are now where we should have been 6-24-2009 when we first got engaged, and I couldn't be happier, honestly! Just so I can blab about some details: we have set-up photos all over AC boardwalk and have plans for a schmancy dinner afterwards. Funny detail I want to mention is that we are going to celebrate with cake and champagne before the ceremony- I mean, why not?! I want those moments captured on film, so we can remember them as accurately as possible. (I mega-<3 art so the photos are of the UTmost importance to me)
As for this blog? I want to recommit to posting for several reasons:
With that, I had better get back to work (you know, the one that pays my bills) and will see you all tomorrow with details about...the rest of my day today? plans for tomorrow? I don't know, but stay tuned!

As for this blog? I want to recommit to posting for several reasons:
- I love my life and my future hubster and want to write about it! Hell, I want to talk about it with everyone, but, you know, people get tired of all my mushy-gushiness.
- I have been inspired (yah, yah, and who hasn't?) by all of the wonderful, powerful and insightful women-bloggers (blog-hers?) that I read and I want to reap not only the benefits of reading about their lives, I want to contribute my own 2-cents! (with the way I over-describe, and don't edit, I am sure this will be more like $5.00!)
- I have changed the way I eat, shop, cook, plan my days, exercise and generally think about the world and I feel that one of the draws, which I haven't read anyone admit to, is that blogging keeps you on track and motivated. It keeps you accountable because you have (in my case, might have) readers who get something from your words and what better way to be consistent in a new lifestyle than to write about it?
With that, I had better get back to work (you know, the one that pays my bills) and will see you all tomorrow with details about...the rest of my day today? plans for tomorrow? I don't know, but stay tuned!
