The reason I say this is because I looked in the mirror and I decided that I need to start getting in shape for my wedding. Yes, I know its a year away, however its never to early to start getting in shape. After doing some thinking about how I can't stay motivated to go to the gym by myself, I decided to go the class route. I then decided that I'm going to do a two week trial with this boot camp. The kicker is that the only class that really fits well into my schedule is at 5:15 in the freakin morning!!! Mark thinks I've gone crazy because I'm getting up so early to go to this class three days a week. However, I went and I got such a good workout!!! Its only 45 minutes and its painful, however I know I'll see results if I stick with it. It always helps when you have some lady yelling at you and the motivation of not being the quitter in the class.
As with the house, we are working on it. The master bedroom is almost done and Mark's parents are coming up next weekend to help us finish it. Harley is doing well, we are still working on manners however we know we can trust him not to make messes in the house when we are gone for a long period of time, which is huge in my book. Other than that, he is learning that the world does not revolve around him, which is painful for him but he is learning.
Other than that, school is going well. I'm plugging away at my thesis and finishing writing a grant this week and I'll start working on my presentation for the conference I have in July in Denver. All the while I'm trying to finish up lab work. Staying busy as always!!
Hope everyone out there in blog land is doing well!! I promise I'm going to get better at this one day:)
P.S. I promise in the next post I'll put up pics of Harley. I was going to do it here but my camera and computer are being slow. Boooo, I know!

Settling the Homestead
Hello All!!!!
Well we are all officially moved in to 1342 Idylwild Dr.! It was quite an exhausting week, the last week of May we began the big push to move everything over to the little cottage. It is so great, I love living here even more than I thought I would. Although our master bedroom is not quite ready yet, Mark has mudded the drywall so pretty soon all we have to do is paint it:). I'm so excited for the bedroom to get done!! Once its all done, we will HAVE TO have visitors!
Also, another exciting piece of news is that we got a dog!! Yes, I talked Mark into getting me a dog! His name is Harley and he is a 10 month old boston terrier, he is absolutely adorable, however we do have some manners issues to work out. He can get a bit bossy with us, but we are working through it!
With all of the hustle and bustle of moving, wedding planning had gone on the back burner. However, now that we are somewhat settled, I feel better about going back into planning and booking mode. We are now trying to nail down our photographer, I'm really excited about these people, its a husband and wife team and they seem to get what I'm looking for in my wedding pics. They are the Leekers, their website is www.theleekers.com, they are great fun and have some pretty awesome credentials.
However, the people that we have booked so far are the venue (Wilderness Ridge Lodge), cake, which is ever so important (the Cup). Also, the cake lady, Kristin is fab! She is so great and got what I wanted for the cakes right away, I'm so excited to work with her! The florist, which is Blooms and Bouqets, her name is Melissa and she is just as fabulous! She and I are having a peacock feather/earthy theme. I'm so excited to see the finished product.
However, with planning the wedding, I'm still struggling with picking out the bridesmaid dresses. I didn't know finding a grey bridesmaid dress would be this difficult, oh well I have tons and tons of time! I'll find something great really soon I'm sure:)
Thats whats going on in the Hahn-Didde household, hope all is well with you guys!!
