Brideorexia?

I am working on a research proposal currently for one of my classes. I had no idea what I was going to use as a topic because I really am not interested in research that much..until now. Upon telling people about my wedding dress, I got numerous responses asking if I am losing weight for my dress or will lost weight. Being in nutrition, I replied of course not, the dress has to fit me not the other way around. Hence, this is my inspiration for my research proposal. I am only proposing this design and not acutally doing the research. But did you know they actually have coined the tems "brideorexia" and "wedding anorexia nervosa?" I was stunned. Anyway I am really interested in these facts and my proposal revolves around soon to be brides and the onset of an eating disorder. Cool, huh?

Adding More to the To-Do List

Looks like I have to clean and pack stuff up...yet again! Ryan and I have had some weird spots coming up on our carpet and after two weeks of badgering, I finally just told them it was mold. (I did actually see some black stuff by the back door which they claim is just carpte discoloration) Anyway, they did come look at it and told us today for sure that they will be in here Saturday to replace all of our carpet. Literally about 90% of our apartment is carpet and we have new gifts! I have to pack things back up in their boxes and clean, clean, clean. I do not want them touching anything slightly breakable since the manager told me they cannot be held accountable! I guess I should be glad we will have new carpet! I am just dreading everything that it has taken and will take to get us there!

It has been a busy couple of months!

I know that I probably am not quite as busy as some of my sisters/brothers and/or relatives, but for me it has been so crazy! Wedding showers, care plans, tests, assignments, hurricane renovations, internship rotation assignments and responsibilities, planning the wedding, flower girl dress mishaps etc..... have all kept me on my toes. Just to let you know I am still here, I thought I would take a little spare time I have this morning to post some pictures of things that have been going on.

Some of our Lubbock friends were able to make it to the couple shower.

Garrett was a great helper. Amanda said he was disappointed that I didn't get any good gifts! I guess my idea of good gifts are not the same as his.

Wedding Shower #2

I think this is why I have a huge bruise on my right elbow! I told Ryan I have a rule....no playing with Baxter at least one week before the wedding!
