Random Wednesdays

There are so many random things to talk about. Where do I even start?

• I have added a new follower! Thank you! I hope I don't let you down.

• I have more people who read my blog via facebook then those who have actually joined.
  

• When I find out someone has read my blog I feel so touched.
  

• I am wicked excited about my Engagement party this Sunday. We had 45 people RSVP.

• I ran out of contacts and have to wear my glasses for the next 2 days.

• I have ran 3xs a week for 5 weeks in a row. On top of that, I have been exercising at least one or two other days each week and still have not lost ANY weight. So, I've decided to step it up and run further, faster and nearly kill myself each time (You are so welcome, body). Also, I'm aiming to workout everyday, no excuses.
  

• I've been wanting to lose weight ever since I gained those awful 5lbs, but nothing inspired me more than I'm getting married, I like that dress, so I'm going to aim to get in it. The lady at the dress shop said "We can alter the dress to fit you" and I said "No, I'd much rather fit the dress then it fit me".

• Also, I plan to run the Tulsa Run at the end of October!

Coy, Me, Jenny (my sister) and Matt (Jenny's boyfriend) after I ran the Cinco De Mayo Run.

X's & O's,

First let me introduce my newest blog: FOODIES ANONYMOUS.

http://foodiesanonymous-kris.blogspot.com/2010/09/welcome-to-foodies-anonymous.html

I love trying new things, going out to eat and enjoying the great food God has put on this earth for me. So, after several suggestions from people I decided they had a good idea... I should write a blog about FOOD! No worries, readers I'll still be writing on here about Coy's and My adventure through Med School, our upcoming wedding and all the things in between.
Speaking of our upcoming wedding... This Sunday is our engagement party and as of right now we have 40 guests. 40 guests to feed. 40 guests to entertain. 40 guests to look cute for. So, after all my searching... today it just came to me. This is the look I'm going for:Second to the end, top row. The green skirt, white top. Adorable! Sorry it isn't bigger!... I love this site and wish I could buy everything off of it, but that's only a dream of mine. What do you think? Comments please!

Blessed

I am so blessed that sometimes I just don’t know what to do with myself. I’d just like to take a day (a little time) to count my blessings.

1. My entire family.

a. I am not only am blessed to have an aunt and uncle who I am close to, but cousins and grandparents who also are a big support team for me…

b. My mom is amazing. My mom is so giving. She is the best shoulder to cry on and always is willing to listen.

c. My sister, Jenny is the best-est best friend a girl could ask for!

d. Matt, Jenny's boyfriend, belongs in the category because he is like my brother. He is so kind-hearted and willing to put up with my crazy red-headed sister. lol

2. My little family at home.

a. Coy is my dream come true. He cooks, he cleans, and he is smart and handsome. I’m so lucky to have him.

b. Rocky and Kuhmo make me so happy! They are not only the cutest but also the best dogs ever.

3. My jobs

a. Not only am I blessed to have two jobs, but I love everyone I work with.

b. I love the money I earn... I mean the money I am blessed with. Lol

4. Me and my family’s health

a. Everyone is well, except for maybe those

pesky little allergies that pop up.

5. My Friends

a. I love every single one of my friends.

b. I love all the moments I get to share with them.

6. A car that runs

a. It has heating and air… and it gets me place to place. Amazing!

7. My house

a. A roof over my head

b. A place to sleep

c. Somewhere that holds memories

d. Somewhere to make memories

8. Iced Tea

a. How can that not be one of the greatest blessings God has given?.... other than…

9. FOOD

b. Home-cooked meals by Coy, Jenny and/or Mom. What a delight!?

c. Money to go out to eat

d. Breakfast

e. Lunch

f. Dinner

10. Sanctuary (Our Church)

I am so very blessed.

Random Wednesday

So, I’ve been thinking… I have all these random things that go through my head and it’s hard for me to always write in complete sentences for an entire post so with motivation from fellow bloggers I’ve decided to create… RANDOM WEDNESDAYS!.. Happy Things. Sad Things. Irritating Things. Random Things. All in one Place!... Ready. Set. Go.

• I love sleep. I love it so much that I am late for work 4 out of 5 mornings. Glad they are laid back here.

• My new favorite drink at Stary-bucks is caramel macchiato. I get it in a Grande, with 1.5 pumps of vanilla and 1.5 pumps of hazelnut, non-fat milk and non-fat doesn’t mean hold the caramel drizzle. I like that.

• I hate when I comment on someone’s blog with a question and they don’t answer. It makes me want to say “fine, I won’t follow you anymore”.

• I feel like I am no longer “up with fashion”, because I can no longer shop for the latest trends. I feel so boring now.

• I snapped at one my employees last night. I sarcastically told her she was “a delight to work with”. Not good behavior for a manager, but she has continually given me attitude. BUT that is far from an excuse for my behavior. Don’t worry, I will be telling her sorry when we work together again.

Med School is hard… Coy studies non-stop and even though I see him every night I just feel like we don’t actually have any quality time together. Good news though: He has gotten above a 70% on all his tests and stuff, but it’s honestly because Med School is his life. We have made it through ¼ of the semester and knowing we have a date night each week is what keeps me going. Also, I get to look forward to us going out of town for a few days in November. I keep trying to reach out to spouses going through the same thing but for example, I joined the SAA (this group for Med Students and their Spouses) and Coy and I have not been able to attend any events due to the fact that I work almost every night. I will admit though, me working at night makes it easier on Coy because he doesn’t have me as a distraction.

On a more positive note, I went wedding dress shopping over the weekend and I’ve narrowed it down to two dresses. I have a fitting on Oct.9, so I have to make my final decision before then.

Just to give everyone a glimpse into what is going through my head!

That's it for now!! I think I'm going to start Random Wednesdays, tomorrow! You will see what I mean...

xoxo,

It's official...

We are getting married on May 28, 2011 at MGM...



We sent the contract last week, signed and all official. We chose The Spa Wall.. Well, I chose it and Coy agreed.


We will fly out the morning of Friday, May 27 and get our marriage license and then have the rest of the day to hang out and take care of any final details. Then, Saturday morning I plan to sleep in (even though, I'll probably be too excited), have brunch in the room, get ready there and the wedding will take place at 2 with a small reception that will follow. Only family is invited, but no worries we will have a reception here in Tulsa when we get back from our honeymoon... MGM will not only take care of my venue, but also my flowers, pastor, music, etc. It's such a relief! Now I just want the day to actually get here. I can HARDLY wait!

September is almost here...

I have been SO busy. I apologize. I’ve been really trying to keep up with the blogs that I follow, but that has taken away any time I’ve had left to write.

Things going on:

· Coy has not only started school, but has become elbow deep in it. He studies all the time and we try to have date night once a week and have successfully had dinner with each other every night, so far.

· We have changed our wedding date to Memorial Day weekend. Which we had originally chosen that weekend (May 28) because everyone would be out of school and it would just work out perfectly with his lease ending at the first of June, but then we realized it was Memorial Day weekend. So, we decided to bump it up to the 21^st and just hope everyone could make it. But after a recent discovery of a major problem with our honeymoon falling on a bad week for me, we’ve decided to move it back to May 28.

· I’m ready for all the holidays… Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, which leads to my birthday, Valentine’s Day, and my anniversary. I can feel it getting close, not only because September is nearly here, but also Starbucks has started serving their pumpkin spice latte. YAY!!

· I love my new job at Starbucks. It has been a month and I absolutely love it more and more each day… Last week though, I worked 9 days straight and ended up sick. This then ended up making Coy sick. Whoops!

So, I was wondering “What makes a friend?”… Because the other night, I had a friend of mine say “we aren’t friends because we never talk anymore”. I’m like “we are talking now and we talked a month ago. So what do you mean?”… I feel if you were once a good friend of mine then you will always be a good friend, even if life gets too busy and we don’t get to talk as often as we used to… Coy works so hard to keep in contact with people. He really puts effort into keeping his friendships alive. I, on the other hand, just assume we will still be friends even if we only get to see or talk each other every once in awhile. I guess I just accept that I am busy and so are you and when we get time we will work something out. What do you think? Let me know.
