Updates & Thoughts on Life...

1) I have finally given in and bought a gym membership at 24 Hour fitness. I’m hoping that paying for the gym will guilt me in to working out more. The classes are the main reason I joined. They are a lot of fun that you practically forget you are working out…although the incredible soreness and inability to sit down without pain is a great reminder.
2) I’m in LOVE!....with the Nintendo Wii. For those of you who have experienced the joy of the Wii, you know what I’m talking about. Casey and I played Wii Friday and Saturday night and had a blast! My forearms are killing me from Wii running, rowing, and table tennis tournaments. I think I might have found something for the Christmas list (hint, hint)
3) Classes have been on my mind lately. If there is such thing as the “1 year itch” after college, I am getting it for sure. I think I want to start taking some meeting planning classes. I’ve looked into it and I think it would be a lot of fun. I’m meeting with a counselor next Saturday so I’ll make an official decision then.
4) My top picks for SYTYCD (So you think you can dance) are Chelsea and Twitch. I very upset with last weeks results that sent Will (who is an amazing dancer) home. I’m afraid I might need tissue every week through the finale since I really like all of the final dancers.
5) Something I have been pondering and have brought up with the girls at work…What is the difference between frosting and icing? Personally, I feel the frosting is like what is on those cupcakes you get at Albertsons that have about an inch of fluff on top. Icing is more of a thin layer of sweetness on top of a cake. Any thoughts?

Going to the Chapel...

Last weekend was THE wedding and I finally have some pics to show everyone! I'll go into more detail later but here are a few pictures for now...

My Texas family

Out in the Country

To celebrate 4th of July, Casey and I went out to some land that his parents own in the outskirts of Commerce, TX. The actual city is called South Sulfur, TX (picturing it already, aren't you?) Yes, you probably have never heard of it and there is a good reason...there is NOTHING there, not even a stop light! I was a little nervous at first that I was going to go crazy by the end of the day. I kept asking casey how far it was to the nearest civilization (which to me apparently means where there is a Chili's since the question of the hour was "How far do I have to drive to get some skillet queso?") After being out in the country for about an hour though, it kind of starts to grow on you. I felt a country twang consuming my speech and found myself sitting on the front porch sipping some ice tea and playing dominos. It was actually really relaxing. We really didn't do much all day besides eat, sit on the porch or by the pond, play dominos, and dominate in horse shoes. When it got dark, the real fun began. People had brought an arsenol of fireworks and it took about an hour to set the majority of them off. Casey and I left around 11pm and they still had several boxes left to go through. I got to set one off though which was kind of scary and fun at the same time. By the end of the day, I am happy to say that I didn't go crazy and that I kind of like the country...in small doses of course.

Obsessed

"Hi, my name is Jenna, and I am a 'So You Think You Can Dance' addict." Man it feels good to confess that. Now I can embrace my obsession. For those of you who do not watch the show (Wednesday on Fox) you really should start. I've been making Casey watch it with me and don't tell anyone but I think he is secretly starting to like it. My favorite couples this season are Twitch and Kherrington, Katee and Josh, and my top favorite is Chelsea and Mark!!!!

Exhibit A of why Chelsea & Mark are the best:

Was that not the best dance ever??
