Besides the obvious “marrying the man I love,” there are so many things to look forward to on the big day. There are the superfluous aspects, such as the food, the cake or even the ceremony music (which I am SUPER excited about). But most of all, I am excited to have everyone that I love and care about in one room. People who would never meet under any other occasion. That truly makes me happy. Sorority sisters, college friends, coworkers, relatives, church friends, childhood friends–the whole lot! I’m not normally sappy, but that thought seriously brings me joy.What are you most looking forward to on your wedding day?

Yesterday was my final day on the 9 day Vow To Be Fit Program, and I lost 8.8 pounds!!! 
If only I had exercised too!I honestly didn’t expect to lose more than 5 pounds, so I’m very very happy to say the least. It didn’t really hit me how much weight I’d lost until I was wearing my usual jeans 2 days ago, and I kept stepping on the back cuff because they were too big.The diet itself isn’t hard to stick to – it’s not being able to eat socially that’s the hard part. In the past 9 days I’ve had a welcome dinner with my in-laws, a bridal shower, my meetaversary, and a farewell dinner with my in-laws. And I was good (ok except for one glass of wine) the entire time. What’s been the most amazing thing while being on this program is that I haven’t had any cravings for unhealthy food, or even a desire to cheat. I’ve done Atkins and South Beach in the past but quit very quickly because the cravings were just too hard to handle.The question everyone keeps asking is – but do you keep it off? Rebecca, who got me started on the program, has lost 30 pounds since June and kept it off! But is there any diet or exercise program in the world that keeps working if you stop and revert back to your old ways? If there were, we’d all be skinny. 
This is about a lifestyle change, and I definitely feel like I’ve made one – I’m on the right track. I can’t explain the science of it all, so here’s a little explanation behind how it works:
Regarding the cleanse, Days 1, 2 and 8, 9 are cleansing days which consist of 4 cleanse drinks throughout the day, snacks mid-morning and mid-afternoon, and lots of water. For those who miss the idea of chewing on something (it’s all a mindset), we suggest an apple, celery w/ peanut butter or almond butter, or a few almonds. The cleanse drink contains the inner heart filet of the aloe plant and is very soothing to the stomach and bowels. Because of its high alkilinity, it helps bring the body back into balance. The cleanse drink also contains suma tea, burdock tea, pau d’ arco, etc which are herbs that have been used for 1000s of years to cleanse the liver, blood, gall bladder, etc. There are also 72 ionic trace minerals (highly absorbable) and lots of other nutrients! Each drink is equivalent to a 1500 calorie meal in terms of the amount of nutrition that is getting into your body. You are not starving yourself!
Days 3 through 7 consist of a shake (chocolate or vanilla)-lunch of your choice-shake with snacks in b/n and lots of water. The shakes are made up of an organic whey protein (this is the easiest type of protein for the body to assimilate), fiber, probiotics, live digestive enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. The high quality protein is why so many athletes use our product as well…..I look and feel better now than when I worked out in a gym 2 hours/day. The live digestive enzymes help to ensure your body is absorbing the nutrients.
So many of us are lacking nutrition despite all the food we eat because of all the processed, “dead” foods we consume daily, and our soils have been depleted of so many minerals due to pesticides and overfarming. It’s no wonder Americans are the most overfed, undernourished country in the world and are battling so many diseases and weight issues! As you put your body back into balance, watch how it responds!
I honestly loved it so much, and I didn’t think it was that hard to stick to, I’m going to do it once every 3 months. Right now I’m going to continue with the shakes for breakfast (which are quite filling), and have a sensible lunch/dinner. I have a lot of energy and I feel great… and now I fit into my skinny jeans!!! 
Remember the cookie and chocolate favors I bought off ebay? These cookies were $2 a piece and measure 4 1/2 x 4 1/2. They look great -exactly like in this picture! A little on the sweet side since it has all that frosting, but overall I thought they were very nice. 
These chocolates were also nice. I bought the 1 3/4″ square, 3 x 2 1/2″, and the 3 x 4 photo frame chocolate. They taste a litte richer than a Hershey’s bar. 
Mr. Bee thought the one below with the couple’s pictures was funny.
Both the cookies and the chocolate are fully customizable and come individually wrapped with your choice of ribbon. I personally liked the cookies a lot better but I think both are a great deal. Plus you can’t go wrong with food favors – it’s something everyone will definitely use.

Soon after the first dance and father-daughter dance ended, everyone was on the dance floor. One of our friends is a square-dance “caller”, meaning he calls the next move at square dance events, so thanks to him, everyone was having a blast dosey-doe-ing.
