More Stuff

We are really making progress on the wedding planning. We have gotten wedding bands and have been working on making the guest list a manageable size. We also started registering for stuff - it's a much more entertaining process than you might think - even Pete was in to it. He got to use the scanner, and it was tough for me to pry it out of his hands so I could get a try! Picking a china pattern was easier than I thought it would be too - I'm really excited with the one we picked.

On a personal note- I've been working out a lot and am running 2 miles at a time now - a fairly respectable distance. In a few more weeks I'll be up to my target 3 miles and I'll be able to work on increasing my speed. At that point I'll start doing more cross-training as well instead of focusing solely on running. Taekwondo is going really well too and I'm hoping to be on the March test list for my blue belt - I haven't missed a class in ages, so I'm optimistic, I just hope I have enough practice time in. We've both been working pretty hard - I'm on a slightly new part of the project at work and I LOVE it. I'm learning some really cool stuff and it's really enjoyable, though frustrating at times when I don't know what I'm doing.

Tucker is shedding up a storm, but doing well otherwise. Granted, he's barked to go outside approximately 15 times in the hour and 40 minutes since I got up, but we'll still say he's doing well. He's learning to sleep on his doggie bed, so we're hopeful that eventually he'll be able to spend the night on that instead of in his crate. I think it'll be a nice change for him. Pete is going on a weekend of cross country skiing and snowshoeing at the end of the month, and he's bringing Tucker. I am excited for the free weekend, but I know I'll miss them both. I know Tucker is going to LOVE it. We're getting him some boots for the trip so that he won't hurt his feet being out in the snow all day for 3 days. I'll make sure Pete gets pictures!
