HP, Bootcamp and Wedding Deposits

Last Friday Jenny, Tim and Alicia came up to Oklahoma to see Harry Potter at The Warren with me!! I was so excited about the movie, the company and the location that I had been counting it down for weeks....and the day did not disappoint!

It was my first time in the balcony to actually watch a movie, and in my opinion it was worth every penny. The seats were gigantic and the arms folded up, so it felt like I was sitting on a couch! We ordered dinner and wine, and Jenny was in heaven because the memory foam chairs actually had a heat option you could turn on to stay warm. The movie was great, I want to watch it again so I can catch every single detail. After the movie, we drove to 23rd Street to hang out at Cuppies and Joe for awhile. We stayed until about 11 and then went home and went to bed.

On Saturday we all woke up early and went to IHOP to eat breakfast/lunch. I hadn't eaten there in years! Hailee and I used to eat there when we lived in Ardmore, but it has been awhile. When we were done, they headed back to Dallas and I had to drive to Tahlequah to transfer a title for my step-dad since he sold a trailer out at our lake house. A little old couple bought it, and after I collected their cashier's check, I headed back to the city. I was in the car for hours!!! It was not fun, but he is sending me a nice check for my efforts, so it was totally worth it!

Saturday night Ryan and I went to the casino to play blackjack and hang out with his dad and Janet. I ended up winning $125 and Ryan won about $600 so it was a good night. On our way back home, I convinced Ryan to stop on the side of the road next to a corn field so I could steal some ears of corn! It was a huge field, so the farmer would never miss it. Ryan was really nervous and saying, "Hurry! Hurry!" A car started coming behind us, so I got nervous and yanked an entire stalk out of the ground by its roots and jumped back in the car! Dirt everywhere, we were laughing so hard. I ended up with 4 ears of corn, but they were weird and small so I just threw them away later.

This week I secured Shawn Starr as our wedding photographer!! I sent him a deposit, and The Westin charged me a deposit....and my wedding coordinator needed a deposit too. My stock account has been emptied and I cringed at how much I've already put towards everything. No turning back now! Haha. Ryan asked me this week how many vacation days I had left, and how much notice my boss would need for me to leave. I think he has something up his sleeve to propose but I have no idea what!

Today marks the halfway point of bootcamp and let me tell you- it is not getting any easier to wake up that early. It's a battle to get out of bed every single time. I even skipped last Friday because I could not do it. The workouts aren't so bad and I definitely feel a lot stronger. I haven't really lost any weight (probably because I can't stick with eating healthy like I'm supposed to) but I am convinced that I look more toned. My cellulite seems to have shrunk a bit too. Maybe for the last half I can stick to a better diet and add some more cardio on "off" days. One month until our cruise!!!!
