Nothing new on the weight loss front. I'm holding steady at 140 point something. Still going to the gym 2 to 3 times a week, my husband has been shooting for 3 to 4. It's getting old for both of us, harder and harder to make that trip into town. I am however definitely in a size 6 which is one size down from where I started. My mother who started going with us once a week is also down almost a size and a half. She was pushing size 16 and is now firmly in a 12. I'm proud of my family and how we've managed to overcome the obstacles set in front of us. There are as always a never ending stream of them but I'm confident that together we can overcome.
Nothing new on the writing front though I didn't expect there to be. When life gets hard, writing gets even harder. I keep telling myself at some point and time I'm going to have push through but then a bad day hits us, and I barely want to get out of bed much less write.
This month my photography business tackled two weddings. Which means I've been pretty darn busy with editing, emails, and proofing galleries. I'm still waiting on my beautiful brides to get me their orders. That will be a very busy day indeed. I also lucked out and found my newest fairy model at lunch with a mutual friend. The girl was tagging along because she'd had a bad day. It was good to meet her. I hope we brightened her day. She will be my Cleopatra themed fairy. I've got a couple yards of fabric waiting for me to make the outfit, a gold headdress, and a gold coin hip skirt wrap. It'll be a little difficult to find somewhere in Tennessee that isn't still brightly green at the moment, but I think we can manage it. It's scheduled for next weekend.
Finally a little progress on the remodel! My husband and I finally found a new light fixture we could agree on. So so happy to get rid of the tacky gold fixture that came with the house. We replaced it with a tiffany styled lamp with two bulbs instead of five! The new lamp gives off a much softer warmer light, not to mention it actually looks like it belongs. Hopefully we'll be getting to work on the benches for the table soon.

On another note.... Today is my 4th wedding anniversary! I can hardly believe it's been 4 years since that day. I woke with the crack of dawn and snuck out of the house so that he wouldn't see me. In the quite hours of the morning with the dew still thick on the grass, my grandmother and I set up the tables and chairs before my maid of honor and mother arrived to help with the decorations. I hid in my grandma's bedroom to get ready, out of breath from running to hide when he rounded the corner, laughing as he walked through the bushes and under the trellis. I remember being petrified when I came out of the house and all our friends and family turned to look at me. I seriously almost turned and ran. Until I saw him standing at the end of the aisle. Then everyone else disappeared. He cried during our vows. I am so glad he went second. I never would have made it through mine otherwise. Then in a whirlwind we headed for the airport and made my lifelong dream come true. Ireland. *sigh*

Edited to Add: Totally forgot about my book review total! I read and reviewed 4 books last month. This brings my year total to 35. I am 15 books away from my goal! Whoot, whoot. :)
