Hi guys,
Its been awhile.
I got married to Matthew last month on October 7th. Its funny to read all of the stuff I was stressing about in my last post about the wedding and such.
The wedding went well :3 Kayla and Kate flew over from CA to be my Maid of Honor / Bridesmaid. I also had Julia as my other Bridesmaid. Josh (Matthews close friend) has ghosted us for whatever reason still. We had Walter and Kim as Best Man / Groomsmen.
The venue wasn't too expensive and the photography was included. We found our own officiant who performed a non religious ceremony. My mom and Matthews mom provided the food and I got us an awesome cake with cupcake tiers at Publix. Overall, I'd say the entire wedding costed approx 4k for all the expenses Matthew and I paid for along with our parents / friends. Which isn't bad.
I wish Kayla and Kate could of stayed longer but I know they have work and stuff to do. Time flew so fast during that week to me :[
Matthew has already booked a cruise for me and Kayla for March 2018. It will be a week long and we will be in the Haven which includes near the upper desk / private Haven areas and separate bedrooms. It will be very costly but I hope it goes amazingly.
I have been on a Ketogenic diet on and off since last January. I was getting fat with my desk job. I think I hit up to 183 lbs at one point. I'm now down to 167. So only up to 16 lbs lost cause I keep going off my diet. I'm more motivated to stick to it for the cruise since I'll be around the water / beach areas a lot. If I could get my butt to the gym in the mornings more often I would loose more. I also need to invest in good protein powder with few carbs. I generally eat under 20 combined grams of sugars / carbohydrates a day. I feel full really easily. I still get some cravings for fried food mainly. All I've been wanting lately is fried chicken tenders (which has carbs via the breading but if I can get it under 20 carbs / sugars for the day, I'll make it my "cheat meal" of the day).
If Avocados stayed in season here and I didn't have to wait a week for them to ripen, it would make my life so much easier. They are a very good source of potassium and healthy fats.
I got promoted to shift lead. My favorite boss Paul is working in Memphis / Indiana now. He took us Shotgun shooting and I got to shoot his Mossburg 500 as well as going on "Team building exercises" at Carolina Ale House and other restaurants. He still messages me on Lync at work. Joe got pushed to his position and they both picked me to fill Joe's old role. I barley take any phone calls / I'm pretty much just watching our queue and fixing tickets/ helping others do their job and doing HR related tasks for my reports. The first day was chaotic with some outages but my reports were on it and we got through it quickly and efficiently.
I now work like 12pm-8:30pm. Sometimes I stay till 9pm just to fix stuff without taking my last break. I feel like being out of tickets / off the phones itself is a break in itself sometimes. I attend meetings and just sit there lol; and other times I have nothing to do. I always try to look busy cause I know more work will be piled on me if I'm not busy.
I have randomly been watching Yugioh! on Twitch which is still going. I'm surprised. I had no idea the original seasons cast of characters with Yugi went this far.
Tonight I am seeing Thor Ragnarok at a high end Cinema that has a nice lounge and bar and they serve food. I have loved almost all of their meals thus far. They are expensive though. My room mates gay boyfriend is visiting over and going to see it with us. Tomorrow I am seeing the 20th Pokemon movie in theaters (Fathom Events) and only working a half day.
But now that I'm a shift lead, I will tolerate hanging out at my current company for awhile. Honestly I'm pretty content. I don't have to wake up at 6am anymore and time so far in the position is flying much faster. Matthew misses me more due to me not being home before him and is giving me a lot more attention lol but it feels like good attention most of the time as I realize I miss him too and re-emphasizes why we are together.
