I just realized that I never posted my engagement pictures. These were done in October 2008 in Ojibway Park. I think they turned out rather nice. Here they are:

January 2009
Yesterday, I decided that I didn’t want to use drupal anymore for this blog. Drupal is a very powerful CMS, but I don’t have the time to keep up with the maintenance, and because I am only using this as a blog, I figured that I would use wordpress. It is easier to configure and maintain, and is specifically designed for blogging. So yesterday night, I started the tedious process of migrating everything over. I am finally finished. It looks a little bit different, but it’s pretty much the same.
I have been getting very, very excited thinking about the fact that in just 3 months, I will be married, and I will be trying to get pregnant. I have been waiting for this for so many years. I am seriously so excited that sometimes I want to scream. Ahhhhh! I have already started taking a prenatal vitamin. Did I mention that I am totally and utterly excited? I really wonder how long it is going to take. Sometimes I think it may happen right away, and then other times I think it is going to take forever. I have seen people struggle for years to get pregnant, so I really don’t know. I really hope it happens fast. Sometimes I sound like a broken record.

I did an inventory of my Fertility/Conception/Pregnancy/Birth/Baby books last night. I have so many already, and I really have not read any of them yet. Here is a list of what I have so far. This list is by no means a review, as I have not read any of these books yet. However, they do have good reviews on amazon, and have come highly recommended by many women. Here it is:

I have increased my fitness routine in the last couple weeks and I think it may have kick started my weight loss again. I am 5 lbs down from where I was before Christmas. I gained a couple pounds from all the yummies I allowed myself to eat during the break, so I am down about 7 or 8 lbs. This is encouraging. I have also started trying not to eat so late anymore.
My mom had knee replacement surgery in September, and it went so well, and she healed so quickly that she was able to have her other knee replaced today. The surgery went well, and she looked comfortable when I went to see her in the hospital today. If all goes the same as the last knee, tomorrow will be a very bad day. I remember her being in so much pain that she would cry. I can’t stand to see that. She doesn’t remember any of it though. She was too drugged to even know that I was there. I told her that this time, I would not be coming on the second day, because it was too much for me to take. I will go on the third day, as there was a marked improvement in her pain on the third day last time. She said the pain is worse than natural childbirth…and my mom has had five babies. Wishing a speedy recovery to my mom!

Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s 2009. I can’t believe that in 114 days I will be getting married!
Anyway, last night we all went to our friend’s house to celebrate New Year. We all had a blast. I forgot to get the camera out for a while, so I didn’t get pictures of everyone.
