In other news:

-Today I survived a company-wide layoff where I work. I am counting my blessings every moment that I still have a job.

-The family bridal shower last Saturday was amazing, thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came! I love you all so so so much!

-The spring script that my friend Erin and I are writing for the LDC tour show in May is coming along well. Estimated completion date is March 2nd, which is less than 2 weeks away. I am hoping we make it!

-I go to the temple to receive my endowments on March 4th, and I am SO EXCITED! :) Only two weeks from today! Crazy how time flies!!

-Pretty much everything is done for the wedding, except for what everyone is wearing.. heh heh, uh oh. Even the dress isn't even close to being done. HELP! ...well, I trust that everything will get done.. *gulp..*

-Besides the disgusting barfing side effects of my BC, the 'sometimes reported' side effect of weight loss seems to be taking affect! Happy surprise! .. and perfect timing, since getting to the gym with my hectic schedule has been pretty sporadic lately. It seems odd to me that I ran seven miles every day last summer to get to where I am at right now, and I all I had to do was take the pill for a week and a half, and presto! ...wow... Wasn't expecting that one... Oh well, I'm not complaining.

-I am beginning to think about packing up my stuff. We are going to move into our apartment the day we get back from our honeymoon, the 19th of March. Since we aren't moving in beforehand, I really want to be just ready to stuff the car full and move on in when we get back.

-I am in love with my wedding dress design. It is going to look amazing.

-I am still desperately trying to find a buyer for my car. My beloved, most wonderful green volkswagen beetle needs to sell! ... most preferably before the wedding! If you know of anyone in need of a wonderful, adorable, reliable car.. I am asking 5,500 for it, but that is negotiable. Please keep your eyes open for someone. I really really need to sell it, even if it is my baby.

-The LDC choir I am in has been asked to present the annual church-wide Ensign music submission contest. If you haven't heard of it, you can read about it HERE. Yeah, I know there isn't much information there, but it really is a really really big deal, and a great honor to be asked. I am being featured as a soloist, singing a piece written by Michael Moody. I am very very excited. If you are going to be available, and love to know what is up-and-coming in church music, please come!

Well friends, that is just a quick update on what is going on in my life. I hope all is well with you and your families. I hope to see you all at the wedding on March 13th!!
