Okay, so this time I had a legitimate excuse for not posting sooner. I've been sick! It was probably one of the nastiest colds I've ever had. It kept me in bed for 3 days and I missed 4 days of school (what?!). Anyway, all better now! Onward to the post!
Wedding updates:
Not much has happened since last time. We are waiting to see the pictures from our engagement shoot which was on 2/7. Miss Amanda from Whitney Lee photography is taking care of us, and she's a lot of fun. Her comments during the shoot were definitely keeping me laughing! For anyone in the Austin area looking for a wedding or family photographer, these gals have some talent!

I will be going wedding dress shopping on Saturday with my mom, sister and soon-to-be mother in law. I can't wait! I've been anxiously looking at dresses online for weeks now. Pinterest has been consuming much of my wedding-trolling time. I've gotten some great inspiration from that site!
I feel like everything is getting more real now. Like the wedding is actually going to happen! Not that I didn't feel that way before, but I guess it just seems within reach. I'm excited!
PS- go to our wedding website!

School updates:
Yes, still waiting on proposal approval. Yesterday my advisor told me that he had a student last year who didn't receive proposal approval until 3 days before the finals thesis was due. Talk about last minute! I guess it's good that I've started looking at the data! I'm freaking out a little bit because I feel like I won't be able to finish everything in time. My advisor doesn't seem concerned. He says he'll tell me when it's time to worry. I just feel like I can't keep up because I've had so much grading to do lately for my TA position. Midterms are upon us! A small set back in my potential road to PhD-land.. it seems like I needed to send a transcript from a community college back in Houston. I took one online summer course from them, but they need my transcript (even though it's already listed on my UT transcript as a transfer course). Since I forgot about it the first go-round, they sent my application back to me. Because in their delay in processing it and informing me about the missing transcript, I missed the deadline for scholarships. Thankfully the final deadline to apply isn't until March 1, but it would have been nice to get those scholarships. Hopefully the school gets the application in time. I've applied for about 30 jobs in the meantime.
Life updates:
Aside from being sick recently and planning a wedding not too much is going on in the life department. I'm still trying to get a bit more in shape before the wedding. I've been doing pretty well with my eating and I try to walk everyday. It's not much, and I'd love to be able to do more, but for where I am in life right now it doesn't seem plausible. Yeah, that's probably just an excuse. Since I started my crusade for weight loss back in October (I was put on a new migraine medicine that caused me to gain like 10 pounds in a month, yikes!), I've lost a grand total of 8 pounds. It's gone up and down some, but that's the net effect. To get to my goal for the wedding, I need to lose another 7. I think I mentioned this last time, but I've been trying a lot more new recipes lately; mostly those I've found on Pinterest. I will do my best to keep things fresh in the kitchen! We're getting really excited for our cruise. It's only a little more than 2 weeks away! Yippee!
Alright. That's all for now!
-Whitney
