Holy Moly things have been a little hectic
around here lately. That busy that I've totally forgotten to take any photos or write any posts (until now)!
Bad bad blogger.
I feel like I'm in a whirlwind of activity and just
constantly on the go.
Seriously can't wait to get over to Thailand and finally relax!
Between doctors appointments and other commitments, the time is passing me by ridiculous fast!
So here's a wrap up of the last few weeks in my world. I survived Booty Camp! Shebang. I'm not going to lie, there were some nights where I thought I was never going to recover. It broke me once or twice. But all in all it was an amazing experience and I managed to lose 2% body fat (Mr B has one of those schnazzy scales that measure all of that stuff). At the start I always maintained that my goal was to tone, not lose weight and that's exactly what I achieved! I was super duper stocked about that and a little proud too. Since then I have kept my healthy eating and exercise regime up. I've also had a few personal training sessions, just to keep my fitness levels high (and keep me going on those nights where all I want to do after a long day at work is go home, eat yummy food and couch potato). All in all it's been a fantastic and rewarding few weeks and I now feel fitter and healthier than ever before!
Apart from that, I have other exciting news...I finally worked up the courage to resign from my full-time job in advertising to get ready for my post graduate degree next year. I read on my employment contract that I needed to give them 3 months notice (something all employees need to do after a year of employment at my company). So I've done just that. It wasn't easy. I've really enjoyed the last 5 years working in the digital media industry. I've met some lovely people, learned a tremendous amount and my whole view and outlook has changed. I've definitely grown up and finally I feel ready for the next stage. The time has come for me to re-align with what I should be doing. What I feel most passionate about. I'm so glad I had a word to my manager before I left for the wedding-moon, as I would have hated carrying all that weight on my shoulders for the few weeks I am away! So now when I come back to Melbourne in November, I will have another 2 months left at my job. I finish up at the end of December. Don't worry about me - I have some big plans for 2013!!! More on this to come.
Oh and in other news, my wonderful friend Spirit has organised a Hens shindig for me for this coming Saturday (AKA the Festival of Boots - as it's the Grand final in AFL and NRL). She's organised a
High Tea on the rooftop of Madame Brussles - it's going to be a classy (and fun) affair. Now I need to decide on an outfit to wear to such an event. hmmmm....
Still to do:
Organise travel money on our travel cards (ah-yeh baby, ooo that's romantic)
Put the wedding music onto my iPod (I've made the playlist so it's only half done)
Get my hair done
Complete my vows
Get lash extensions put in (I decided not to use falsies on the day as it will be too hot and the glue might come off..who the hell knows) anyway the upside to this is that I won't need to wear any mascara on my holiday for the whole time, sweet! Let's hope I don't have lop-sided fall-out on the wedding day :)
Print off all the wedding contracts and work out how much money we still need to pay the resort (all the boring stuff I know)
Lots more to do once we get to Thailand too but I'll do a separate post on that one.
Fingers crossed I can get it
all done in the next few days! Bring on the weekend
