Camping this weekend at the lake

So here I am at work doing nothing. It's not that I have nothing to do, I am just incredibly lazy right now and really don't want to be here.

On a more positive note, I had a great weekend and am looking forward to this upcoming weekend when I will get the chance to hang out with my girlfriends at the lake. We will have all the time in the world (and hopefully all the sun in the world) on Saturday as we camp out on the shores of Boyd Lake. I was really hoping to go with some co-workers to Mt. Bierstadt on Sunday, as they are traveling 1/2 the way up and then coming down (there are some that won't be able to make it to the summit), but alas, I cannot do everything.

This last weekend was a ton of fun! My BF Michael was best man to his brother Bobby. Bobby married his girlfriend of about 2 years on Saturday. They are just so happy together! They were married at a small church in Fountain, a town just south of Colorado Springs. They had a small wedding (only about 80-100 people) and had their reception at the VFW.

I am now at the age when everyone and their brother is getting married, and despite the frequency (I go to a wedding about every 4-6 months now), I love weddings and everything about them. Sometimes I think about wedding planning as a potential carreer path! I think I would be a pretty good wedding planner or assistant to the planner as long as I have learned a thing or two about what it takes to plan things like that.

I will get my shot someday (to plan my own wedding) but for now, I will focus in on helping my cousin Megan, as I am her maid of honor for her wedding next summer. I have paid close attention to the various things she is eyeing such as the kinds of flowers she wants to have in her bouquet, her bridesmaids bouquets, in the centerpieces, etc. She is also still trying to chose the colors of her wedding. I have accompanied her to one dress fitting session, and plan on accompanying her more to these types of events.

I myself need to loose some weight! I really don't want the pictures from my cousin's wedding to show me flabby and out of shape! I think this might just be the semester to accomplish that goal. I want to do it not only to feel better about myself, but to FEEL better physically. Lately, I have been feeling a bit slow. It takes me longer to go up a flight of stairs, and I get winded! Kinda scary. I am 26 years old. I need to start taking care of myself physically.

Anyway, yeah yeah yeah, weddings are my thing- and hanging out with my girls. What's better than roasting marshmellows in an open fire in the heat of the summer night? Sounds like a perfect weekend just ahead!
