Busy Bee!

I am trying so hard not to get stressed out. I am really tired though. I made our ceremony programs and it is absolutely cute, easy, and simple! It's not final yet cause we're still adding stuff to it, but a separate post later on.

This week is going to be a stressful one...but like I said, I'm trying not to get stressed out. Report cards are due on Wednesday and I have to grade two big tests before then so I could input it in for their last report card. On Thursday is Open House. Is my room prepared? I'm hoping by tomorrow afternoon it will be. Our theme is "Over the Rainbow" so I bought rainbow die-cuts from the teacher store and I took each of my students photo (both the kinder and 6th graders) and cut them out so it looks like they're going over the rainbow, flying over the rainbow, coming out of the cloud, etc. It's ABSOLUTELY cute! Sadly, for privacy purposes, I can not share them...but then again, if I do one of myself, then maybe I can just so you get the idea. ;P

On Tuesday are my parents 30th Wedding Anniversary. We spend it every year with my parents. I know it's THEIR day, but we have always celebrated it together.

I really just can't wait for the week to be over..and sheesh..it hasn't even started.

On a side note, I've been trying to call the seamstress who is in charge of my wedding dress from the boutique I bought my dress at and well I haven't gotten a hold of her! I'm crossing my fingers that I get to do my final fitting sometime within the next two weeks! Eeeek!

*breathe in...breathe out*

Okay, before I leave .. engagement photos part 2? It was so random. ;D

Me: "Hey..how you doin?" LOL. I didn't know where to put my hand!
Weee! He beat me to the swing first.

I thought my brother was taking a close-up shot so I stood on my tippy-toes.

Engagement Photos

Finally got them! I won't show all of them though cause I want to save some for the wedding. =) We got the original images so I had to photoshop some of them. I expected more from the photos, but I am satisfied. Our photographer kept telling us to be romantic..and Ron and I were like, "Huh? How do we pose like that?" I told Ron that we should have bought those horse sticks so it would looked like we were on the beach riding horses, but he didn't budge. LOL. =D

Well here they are!

One of my favorites.. =)

Engagement Session

Just a teaser pic .. not from our professional photographer, but from my little brother. Him and our good friend came with us yesterday with their fancy cameras and took a few photos while our photographer took photos. They also carried my purse of junk and our shoes. ;D My brother still owes me and Ron an engagement photography session at Disneyland. I can't wait to see our photos!

Engagement Session, Diet

My engagement photo attire is complete. I found cute white flat shoes at target to match my attire. I thought to myself, "Why the heck would I wear heels at the beach?" Embarrassing though cause I found the shoes in the kids section. I tried on a size 5 and holy moly they didn't fit. So, I am officially a size 4.5 in kid shoes. =X

I forgot to mention that I will be starting my rigorous diet tomorrow. I have managed to lose 5 pounds and maintain it since the beginning of January. Now it's time to get to it!

The highest weight I hit was about 160lbs at a size 13 (around 2002). Not good for someone who is only 4'9. I managed to go from a size 13 to a size 2 (at 113 pounds) in approximately 8 months. I managed to stay that way for about a year, until I got laid off from my job of 5 years. I went up to at least 145 (2006) after that and now I am currently 137 pounds. All I want to lose is 10 pounds and at least hit a size 6. Right now I'm a size 8. I have lost weight in certain places because my size 8 pants that I had just bought before going on my no rice or soda diet are now loose (wahoo!). I am determined and excited! I know I can do it!!!

Engagement Photo Attire

I can't seem to decide what to wear to our engagement photo session which is in about a week and a half or so at Laguna Beach.

So I tried this on in Express (Ron's sister works there so I can TOTALLY get a discount)...but I ain't feelin' it and it probably won't match Ron's brown dress shirt. BUT I might just buy it just to have it. ;D I look like a girl!! :P

I ended up looking around Macy's and just when I was about to leave I found this!

I grabbed it and tried it on and bought it. It's perfect! At least it won't clash as much as the first photo. I'll be wearing a white blouse with a brown tanktop under it as a "second" attire, dark jeans, and my brown heels. ;D

I'm getting excited!

On a side note, I ordered our invites to get printed today! I'm in the mood to prep the invite stuff! AHHHH! ;D
