Tribute and Good-bye to Chocolate!

No it's not coffee!...That i could not do!
In light of a recent weakness which i have yet to figure out i am giving up chocholate for the rest of February! And yes the day before Valentines day!

For about the last week i have been a slave to this delectable treat! :--------------------------------------->

It has taken over my life so much so that i'm almost positive that i ate my weight in it today so for that very reason i feel like this:








And this...










So I stand with my right hand raised Promising you all that for the rest of February I will not consume any chocholate! This could prove to be a difficult task as we will be facing Valentines day tomorrow but lucky for me there is no man in my life to be giving me chocholates however there is the office which has a wealth of chocholate! it's like a


You guessed it a fountain of Chocholate!


So I expect you all to keep me accountable me i will not consume one morsal of chocholate until March 1st! I will do it! These drastic measures are being taken in drastic times! However they are i believe Neccissary to my "health"

I am terribly confused by this all i'm really not even that big of chocholate! So please keep the encouragement comming and eat pleanty of chocholate for me! cause i will have none!

Pictures to share!

Hey there!
So like i promised fun details from my weekend! And below even better are the pictures be sure to check them allll out but beware they are out of order b/c hello is kind of stupid sometimes and does that! but it's way quicker than waiting for them to upload ever so slowly on here!

So i went home late friday night and bummed around Target with DJ

Saturday i got to go bridesmaid dress shopping with brie we found some great perspectives
Helped my sister get ready for Heart-throb! (i did her hair and make up!) then went with to take pictures at the great hall with my mom! and then daddy took me and mommy out to dinner at bilatties(sp?) it's so yummy but i recommend sticking with the pizza! I had the lasgna and didn't care for it too much but daddy liked it and he's the expert on lasgna so...? you decide
Sunday i went to church with my familia! It was pizza sunday yum yum! Then it was on to make a final decision about bridesmaid dresses with all of the bridesmaids and some of our mommies! It was so much fun! You can see a picture below the dark purpleish color is the right color! It's called wine! She changed the color's of the wedding just for the dress on a whim crazy girl! but i love it! and also think it's great that together the color's of the dresses are wine and champagne! absolutly love it the dresses are gorgeous and are soooooo comfortable! While trying the dresses on we convinced brie to do something i was sure never was going to get done but it did! check out the pics below to see what it was!...

I then hung out with the fam for a little bit then it was over to bries to her birthday party with her family, I must say i felt quite honored to be included! Thanks it was so much fun to hang out with your family! Your gran is amazing i couldn't have laughed harder than when she talked about her gasious experience in shop-ko or when we discussed painful diet coke burps through your nose and then she just let one go! it was the best! Then the day had to come to an end and i headed back to the cities to start my exciting week of classes all over agian! now it's almost over!

Toodles!

So it's been a while and just so you know i mainly don't post because i don't have the pictures yet so that makes it hard because as you all know pictures are worth a thousand words! But in the mean time i got this picture off of my mom's blog of everyone at my birthday "gathering" party what have you! It was tons of fun i had about 11 people back to my house for dinner, hot tub, cake, games, and all that! there are more pictures i think this is just the only one my mom put on her site so it's the only one i have so since the majority of you read my mom's blog it will be rather repetitive! but i promise this afternoon i will put more up cause i spent a weekend in il on a retreat and with my cousins! so yea those will be a little later!! buh-bye now!
