I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I normally lurk to keep up with everyone when I have a few minutes. Not too much has changed with me. I am still in public accounting - been 3 years already - and am expecting a promotion Sept 1. My client was going thru and Initial Public Offering (IPO) last fall but pulled out in December so all of those long hours at work were spent for nothing :(. Then my senior (person directly above me) quit right before busy season so I had a fun last 5 months piecing together the stuff she didn't do before she left. But it all worked out in the end. I hear my client is working on a $1B acquisition so I'm not sure what this fall will have in store for me. :(
I miss all of you around here but I am on a budget now and gained some weight so I'm too depressed to shop much. I'm trying to lose weight right now but I've been psychologically fighting myself. Hopefully things will change.
Oh and I wanted to share I'm getting married next July. I'm super excited and trying to knock all of the planning things out now so I don't have to deal with them later. Have the main things: date, church, and reception knocked out but it will be a while before the dress. I'm sorta scared on that part. But I'll need some direction on what to wear for engagement pics so be on the look out for my threads begging for help soon.
I'm going to really try! If yall saw my closet now a days yall would disown me as a member! I need to venture back to the diet and exercise daily thread so yall can get my a$$ back into gear! For the past year I've been so worried about everything else except myself that now I'm stepping back and putting up boundaries. I hope it doesn't bite me in the end but I don't expect it to.
How are you doing? I saw your summer reading list and I really liked the two Emily Griffen books on your list.
Hey Aurora! Congrats on the impending wedding! Sounds like alot of things are going well for you and you have so much going on! Sounds like the boundaries is a smart idea - we're here to help with diet/ exercise motivation - and don't worry too much about your closet! I work from home now and I've gotten so used to wearing whatever I went to bed in to "work" (my desk 20 ft away) that it's become almost my standard attire - that's right, i'm a full-blown slob. I need help too!! haha
Hey Aurora! I was wondering what happened to you! Glad to hear that all is mostly well and congrats on getting married! How exciting! Hope we'll see you around more often.
Hi!!! And congratulations!!! Is this the boy you were dating the last time you were posting (sorry don't remember his name but I think you posted pics of you together at Disney)?

Yes! I'll post some pictures in the wedding section I guess so that yall can know what's going on with it. Ring, reception location, etc. I find that usually when I say my reception at the Zoo people have a hard time picturing it so the few pictures I found on the Zoo's site really help people visualize it.
