Fit in to the dress!

It was just over a year and a half ago that Jason and I were married, and I got to wear my beautiful wedding dress! I loved my dress so much that I wish that I could wear it every day. The problem now is not that it would be totally weird to wear my wedding dress everywhere I go, but that I can't even fit in to it! How embarrassing is that? I could understand like after ten years of marriage or something, or at least after kids, but no. I have no kids, and it has only been a year and a half. So even if I wanted to prance around town in my wedding dress... I can't! Out of the question. My love for Jason has grown immensely during this year and a half, and so has my body. =)

So I am reaching out for help! I am so freaking out of shape that I died after a half hour on the treadmill this morning. I got P90X and get out of breath just watching it! Is there anyone else in my same boat? Does anyone else need a little push? Can we please just motivate each other somehow?? I would really like to fit in to my dress again. Oh, and when I do, does anyone want to lounge around the house in theirs with me?

Your Fat Friend,

Sarah McChubbyson



p.s. this is the only dress that I fit in to now.

ADDICTION

Hello all of my friends. It is time that I publically admit my problem, in hopes to someday overcome my habit. I am addicted to travel deals. I said it. I look at them all the time, and really I have no choice, because travel companies continue to email me cruise, flight, hotel and vacation deals. What is a girl to do? It satisfies me beyond belief to slide my arrow just barely over the advertising letters until the word illuminates in blue, then ever so gently tapping the top of my mouse just to see a new page load, and soon deliver a medium to a wonderful vacation. Then my mind starts going, and there is no stopping it. I start planning out dates, and ways to make these vacations come true. Before I know it, I have 16 windows open, each with a different airfare search or hotel comparison, to make sure that I can find the best deal. By the end of my fix, I have an entire outrageous vacation planned, and I excitedly tell my husband, just to hear him say, "Yeah right!". He has learned, though, to play this game with me, and now will say his line on queue, "Yeah, Sar! Wouldn't that be awesome?" And then I light up and say, "Yeah!!! This would be so fun!" Then slowly I come back down to reality, and never mention it again, because seriously, a dream vacation like the ones that I plan in my head would never ever ever really happen in our current poor, young, college-student, newlywed income lives....unless.....

YOU FIND TICKETS TO AUSTRALIA FOR $500!!!! All of my pretend vacation planning has really done me some good. Because I am a dorky addict, and love to look up deals all the time, I found airfare to Australia at a price that I just could not pass up. (Really, I had no choice. It was just too good). So I let my brain run wild, and I put together an unbelievable vacation for us and some friends of ours that had asked us to go with them before. We also had a timeshare that we got to use on the beach in Port Macquarie, Australia, that was unbelievable. Here are a few pics from the trip.

What the..... Sarah is updating her blog???

I know, I know, we are creeping up on a year since I have updated my blog. I just like to keep everyone in suspense. It has been a year since we left for Argentina. I can't believe how time flies. So far this year I have been able to keep myself put, and not move to any far off countries, but the year isn't over yet =)

I suppose a little update is due. After an incredible, uniting experience in Argentina we got on a plane and flew back to California, where we enjoyed an awesome Christmas. We settled back into our old routine quite quickly with me back at Provo College and taking online classes, and Jason full-time in school. Yep, just the same old same old, except for one minor detail. Instead of graduating as planned, Jason has decided that he wants to be a dentist. So he has been doing the pre-reqs for them since January, and is doing awesome. It'll be a loooong road, but worth the journey.
