All in a days work

So, I said I wasn't very good at writing too often, life just got very busy in the past week. Let's see, I closed on a house. Yes, I am now a real American, in debt for the next 30 years. Good to know that I have joined adult society. I flew to Houston on Thursday morning, did the final walk through, went to closing, and spent the rest of the day getting all the utilities set up.

I love it though. It really is the perfect house. I can't even believe that I was able to get something like that as a first house. It amazes me! Now, I just have to find a mover and MOVE!

It is going to be really hard leaving all my friends in New Orleans. I know that Houston will be a great place personally and professionally. I can't even describe how wonderful it is going to be to live in the same city as Jindy. I also love my friends there, but it will take some getting use to. At least I will get to come back to New Orleans every now and then!

That was yesterday. This morning I was back on a plane headed to Kentucky to try to find a date and place for our wedding. We looked at 3 places today and have 2 to look at tomorrow. I really like two of the ones we looked at today. They are very different, but both incredibly nice. Can't go wrong either way. I am going to look at some dresses tomorrow and meet with the priest. So much to do, so little time :) I will let you know when we make some decisions.

A new day

So, this week has been really stressful. We are fighting with the builder of the house we are about to buy over something that, to me, is a minor fix. It shouldn't cost that much from all the estimates I have received, but they are saying that it will be quite expensive, so I don't know what to think anymore. I was in tears worrying about it yesterday, and finally decided that enough was enough. I have a year to find a house if this does work out so I won't worry about it anymore. I do hope it works, I love the house, but at the same time, there is lots out there.

I have also started working about again. Mainly spin classes, but I am going to run tonight for the first time in almost a week. I realized how close the Country Music Marathon actually is. I think I am actually going to register today, that should motivate me a little more than just saying I am going to do it. I really hope that 3 of my good friends and my fiance will be able to it also (or the half). Keith was my training partner for Louisville and has become one of my best friends. Joy and Damie are two friends who live in Memphis, and I am dying to see them again. It would be a fun weekend if everyone gets to go. OK kids, I said it, I am signing up, your turn :)

This weekend is a friends wedding in Alabama, so I am looking forward to another party with all the triathletes. The New Orleans group know how to train, but they also know how to let loose. I can't wait!

The beginning

Ok, I haven't done this in a while (and to be honest, don't have much time to do it now) but I wanted to start somewhere. There are a lot of big changes coming up and I am getting a bit, well, stressed. I am trying to find movers, insurance, loans, find a reception hall, pick invitations, say good-bye to all my friends, and shuffle through the piles of work. Oh yeah, I forgot, got to start on the Taxes. Fun. I am starting to reconsider running a marathon in April...I haven't trained in 5 days, nothing! I know that doesn't seem like much, but to me, it is forever! Going to start again, have to start again, have to get everything else done also. Ok, enough venting, just start and get stuff done :-)
