New Year's Day marks the start of a brand new year and exactly six months until Michael and I become husband and wife. With wedding bells ringing in my ear, it's only natural that my resolutions for 2012 reflect our upcoming nuptials. My first resolution will help to ensure that I’m healthy for our big day. I plan on resuming my workout regime, which has come to a complete halt in recent months. I only have four pounds to go until I reach my target weight! Exercise is the push I need to be fit and trim for my walk down the aisle and energetic for the long hikes Mike and I have planned for our honeymoon.
My second resolution is necessary during these next few months of planning and celebrating. I promise to live in the moment. The past year and a half, I've constantly been focused on the future. Which vendors should I book? When’s the next deposit due? What's next on our to- do list? I know you ladies know the drill, but this upcoming year, I plan on cherishing every moment—something I should have started doing a long time ago. I don't want to miss out on any of the days leading up to our wedding. Big changes will be occurring (moving out of my parents' house for the first time ever and house-hunting with my soon-to-be husband), and I want to be sure that I appreciate each and every moment, big and small.
