Happy New Year!

Sorry I have not blogged lately. Big things are happening in the Fudge Household. I'm so excited to share them with you but I won't just yet. We are supposed to get some more news tomorrow so hopefully I will update this blog with the news on Wednesday. So check back in a few days.

Other than that... how was your New Years? We had a very laid back New Year's Eve. Papa Fudge gave us some champagne and we basically watched TV, drank champagne, watched the ball drop, and went to bed. It was actually kinda nice being so laid back. Did yall do anything fun? or did you also enjoy a lazy transition to 2012?

Do yall have any resolutions this year? Mine are usually the same EVERY year: lose weight, eat right, exercise more... Well I noticed on a few blogs that I read that some people assign a word or two to define the upcoming year. So, I gave it a lot of thought and decided that my words for 2012 are going to be CREATE and CHANGE.
Create because I am going to start up my craft and jewelry business again this year. I'm super excited. I've already got some great ideas for some new necklaces and I've decided to add hair accessories also. I'm going to call all the hair accessories "Kimmy Blossoms".
Change because there are going to be some major changes to our lives this year. We made our first "adult" decision as a married couple (more to come on Wednesday, remember?) Also because this year we are going to change all of our liabilities into assets. Finding jobs has been very challenging, we still have our fingers crossed that we will find something that will be a good fit but until then we have decided to put our hobbies and knowledge to work for us. (more on Wednesday too, I promise)

New Year, New Stuff!

Okay, sorry about the long leave of absence. Work gets really crazy during the holidays and i'm just now slowing down to a pace that is more comforatable. Lots of things have happened since Thanksgiving!

1. Christmas was awesome! i got some brand new luggage for our cruise in March and our honeymoon in September (which by the way we are going to go to SCOTLAND!!!yay!!)

2. My cousin Ashley is going to have another baby!! i'm so excited!!

3. On a really sad note, our cat Talmadge lost his battle with heart disease on Jan. 8th. Mom and I were looking at invitations when jeremy called. He was fine that morning before we left. i even gave him some treats. And the night before he even had his favorite meal, chicken. But Jeremy said that he let him inside and he jumped up in his bed, and fifteen minutes later he started having a heart attack and he died in jeremy's arms. I'm still really hurting about this and it makes me cry typing it. i feel terrible that i wasn't there for him. Mom took me home immediately and i got to say goodbye to him on jeremy's bed. We put him in a box with some of his favorite toys and a letter telling him how much we love him. I still cry everytime i think about him and Jeremy says it will get better with time. Mom bought a little statue of a cat with wings that we put on his grave and mama fudge got us a tombstone with his name on it for us which should be here by the end of the week. I really miss him alot.

4.. Okay, Wedding stuff: We finally got a DJ for the reception. His name is TJ McKay and he also does a show on the oldies station in Columbia. real excited, i think he'll be perfect!

5. We picked out our invitations!! They are super cute! And they have everything i was looking for. They have a bow, monogram and we get to use purple ink! :) yay! i don' t have a picture but i hope to in the future! :) get excited!!

6. Earlier this month i started a kind of bridal boot camp thing. By the end of 2010, i weighed 220 lbs. I know, awful. So i've started a strict low calorie diet with lots of exercise. I love this dvd called walk away the pounds. I feel so much stronger! i still have to go and buy a new scale (mine broke, well actually i got really pissed off at it for telling me i was weighing more than when i started so it got put in the trash can) ... But, i did measure myself and i've lost 3 inches on my waist!! That is AWESOME!! i'm so proud of myself! I'm hopeing to get down to 190/180 by April, which i think is doable. I go for my first dress fitting in April so i'd really like to get to that ideal weight by then. After April, i'm going to start focusing on my arms and back, since that is what will be seen in the dress. So thats my plan. Any more suggestions and lots of encouragement would be much appreciated!

Well that's all i can think of right now. I will post again soon! Less than 8 Months to go!!
