blah blah blah

There really isn't too much new with us since the last post. Kevin and I are both getting so close to being at our jobs for 90 days!!! We had to put our home search on hold to take these jobs because to qualify for a loan you have to have 90 days of employment with your current company. I can not wait until we both hit that 90 day mark so we can finally seriously look and purchase! We have received about 7 or 8 response cards already and way more gifts than we were expecting. I figured we would get maybe one or two gifts in the mail around wedding time but they started coming in right after we sent out the invites. Every time I come home and find a package by the door I get so excited.

A few weeks ago I had a private yoga lesson with the owner of the studio I practice at. I would really like to be able to do a headstand so thats what we focused on. She really kicked my butt too, I was so sore the next few days it hurt to wash my hair. I also finally talked someone into going to a class with me. Last week my coworker attended a regular class with and was surprised when she was sore the next day. I am telling you yoga is a total body workout and I always leave feeling better than when I went in. This morning after my aerial class I stayed and played for a little while and had Joni (the instructor/owner) take a few pictures so I could post them as proof that I can do it.

I was too scared to get out of this one by myself. Basically you just bring your knees into your chest, tuck your head, and flip. I kept telling her I couldn't do it but she doesn't take crap like that so I did it.

This pose we did for the first time in class today.

Al the presents we've gotten!!

So see there is some proof that yes I can do it. The hardest part of the class, besides you know all the work, is letting go of the fear. Its one of the biggest things holding me back in that class and every class I try to let go of the fear that wants to keep me on the floor and try to do just a little bit more so that my body can take what it learned in the air back down to the mat later.

Yoga = Life

Remember way back to Christmas when Kevin got me a 40 day membership to a local yoga studio? I went almost every day and loved the classes, the people, and the instructors. So I signed up for a year membership. Up until I got the job at the doctor office I was going every day for at least two 1 hour classes but now that I have this new job I'm finding to it harder to make it every day. I still go as often as I can and a couple of weeks ago I decided to to try out a pretty unique type of class called aerial yoga. For the first ten minutes I was pretty much scared to move but once I let go of my fears and trusted my body and the silks to do their jobs I started to really like it. In some ways I feel like it makes some poses much easier for me and in other ways (most ways) it is a really big challenge and makes me work for what I want. I always leave yoga feeling really good but when I leave after doing something I have never been able to do before I feel amazing. I love the feeling I get when I do yoga so much I want to share the experience with basically everyone I know, I keep inviting all my friends to go with me, most don't take me up on my offer but I'll just keep on trying. Seriously if you want to try out a regular class or even an aerial class let me know you can come with me and if its not the best hour of your day I'll buy you a smoothie afterwards. Here is a sample of an aerial yoga class.......

Invites

I got the invitations mailed out last Monday and this Monday we got our first wedding gift!!!!! When I got home from work on Monday there was a very large and very heavy package on the porch and I couldn't figure out where it came from because I didn't remember ordering anything and it was addressed to me so I didn't think Kevin had ordered anything so I opened it. And much to my surprise tucked inside were some of the things we had registered for! So exciting! Thank you Lil for the wonderful gifts. Last night I went over to my friend Hannah's house to watch the finale of Pretty Little Liars. I have been watching this show for like 5 years and last night we finally got the answers to all the mysteries and spoiler alert it sucked! I wanted to cry. It was probably one of the worst episodes they had made. It left major plot holes and more questions than answers and the answer they did give mad me really mad. I am not the only one feeling this way the majority of the fandom is upset. It was a giant cop out and I feel like I wasted 5 years of my life for nothing. But on the bright side while I was there Hannah gave me our first rsvp! I can't wait until they start coming in the mail!!!
