Bridal Shower

Wow, it sure has been a while since I have blogged.  Life has been SO crazy.  Getting ready for this wedding has been busy! Busy, but not stressful thanks to the help of all my friends, family, and of course my loving fiance! My wonderful Aunt Kristina threw me the most beautiful bridal shower this past weekend at her home in Simi Valley.  Thank you so much to all my friends and family who made it a beautiful day!

The boys worked all night to set up!

It was BEAUTIFUL!

It was such a beautiful day! Thank you again to everyone who came! :)

Pirates Ball Game

So, Zach got some sweet tickets from someone he works with because they know he loves all the Pittsburgh teams! Anyhow, aside from me spraining my ankle on the stupid retarded stairs that are all different depths, dont get me started... we had an excellent time!  Here are some photos from the evening!

Our Tickets!

Zach bought me a Pirates hat so I could support the team!

Seriously guy taking our picture? Thanks for the blurr...

This weekend

So, I am looking forward to the weekend for multiple reason.  One reason is that this week has felt never ending because of waking up at 5 AM and doing INSANITY all week.  The second reason is that on Saturday night, we will be heading out to the LAKESIDE RODEO again! We went last year for my birthday and had an absolute blast.  Here are some photos from last year:

YEEEE HAAWWWW

INSANITY - Day 2

Wow... this was a butt kicker!!! I thought Mondays Fit Test was hard, well, because it was.  But today, we embarked on the first "real" insanity interval exercise.  It is called Plyometric Cardio Circuit and it is a little bit crazy.  You can click on the link above to get a good description of what it entails, but to give you a quick snapshot, Shaun T, trainer extrodinare, gets so hot and sweaty in his TANK TOP, he has to remove it about half way through.  Yikes! I am already SO sore but really enjoying the work outs so far! He pushes you right to the brink and then switches the exercise up on you so that it ALMOST feels like a break because you switch muscle groups! Tricky, tricky, tricky.


Needless to say, we were all dripppppiiiiinnnnnnngggg sweat by the end of this 42 minute INSANE workout! Thank you Shaun T for kicking my arse!

INSANITY!

So, Amanda and I are always looking for the next, best thing in workouts.  A few months ago we discovered "burst" training introduced by Dr. Josh Axe. I have fallen off the exercise wagon a little the past 3 weeks so I am looking for something to spice it up again!  So, starting on Monday, we will be doing the INSANITY program.  It was created by BeachBodies, the same company who brought us P90X!  This is a 60 day, no bulls@#%, balls to the wall work out and we are excited!! It will be Amanda, Soraya, Doug and myself here at 5:45 am workin on our fitness!

TIME TO GET INSANE!!!

Engagement Photos

Well, this past Thursday we had our engagement photo session done.  We met our photographer at Balboa Park and spent a few hours taking pictures! We dont have all the photos yet, but our photographer posted a "teaser" on her website: Stephina Photography

This is our favorite picture from the teasers... It's just so "us"

Cant wait to see the rest of the photos!

Food Tasting Day!

Last night, Zach, Mom, Dad and myself headed over to the yacht club to taste some food and wine for the wedding. It was such a fun night and the food was phenomenal.  We have made our final decisions for the wedding and are so HAPPY!

LETS GET MARRIED!!!
