It's been a while since I last posted. I had planned for this to be almost daily or at least weekly. It's definitely gotten past the weekly mark. I won't try to list something I'm thankful for, for all of the days I've missed. I'll try to aim for a summation.
One thing that I'm very thankful for is joining the gym. I joined at the Greenville Hospital system's Life Center in late December. I have wanted to be more in shape and look good for my wedding and honeymoon. It's definitely had more payback than just that. Everyday I see people in the gym that are recovering from something. Almost everyday I see the same man in there. He's there before I get there and still going strong when I leave. I love to see his determined, fighter spirit. It looks like he may have had a stroke and is weak on his left side. He continues to quickly push through laps around the gym. I also see oncology, cardiology, and pulmonary patients working. You can tell that it is often a struggle for them, but they continue to fight. First of all it's a reminder that I have good health. Secondly, it's motivating to see people who are struggling, but fighting to get a quality life back. I definitely think twice before skipping the gym.
I'm also thankful that all of this wedding planning is coming together. I was a little slack on getting started, but for the most part everything is coming together. In about one week, Grayson and I have ordered invitations, picked out tuxedos, chosen rentals and talked to two rental companies, met with the travel agent to book our honeymoon (which is still TBA), booked the cake and chose the design, booked the DJ, and chose music/singers for the ceremony. On Monday I am talking to a new possible florist. It turns out with the last one, I thought I had her booked, but when I changed the date I neglected to tell her. She only does flowers for a few friends and church members, so I didn't think this would be a huge issue. However, there is another girl in the church who is getting married on the same day. So, back to square one on flowers. I don't plan to get married without flowers, but as I have jokingly told others: "I have a dress, a groom, officiant, and venue... I think we're good." Of course there is one important thing that I'm lacking, and that is a photographer. I'm not going to stress out too much on this. I haven't found anyone in my budget that I like. I apparently have expensive taste.
I think at this point I'm most excited about the honeymoon. We have looked at quite a few places, but I believe we're settling on Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. It's very gorgeous there and offers quite a few things both in the resort and out. I've been so stressed about planning, I'm just so looking forward to relaxing!
