Blog has a new home!

Due to our growing need to create more web pages, Sean and I decided to purchase a server and move all our blogs to one place where we can control everything (we are such control freaks!). The address for the blog is www.oz.ensbell.net You can also check out our wedding website, other blogs, etc... once we get everything built. I know we didn't hang out long on blogger, but we'll still be sharing our lives with the world just around the internet corner. Thanks!

A nice way to welcome the new year!

New Year's Day Sean and I traveled to Orlando to watch the Gators play against Michigan. We watched the game with friend at an Orlando residence with good food and great shots. Unfortunately it wasn't enough to help the gators win...I swear everytime I go to that house the Gators lose! The following day Sean and I went to a Gator basketball game (UF vs. High Point), which we one (see pictures below)! That made up for the previous day's loss.
Wednesday we went back to work for the new year. Sean's company is doing very well these days and they are confident they'll continue to go strong through April. Mackenzie had a fun time hanging out with all the family and friends...she just loves to be social! She also loves to play with her big red ball! Here are some shots!



This weekend I worked some overtime for my job...peak season! In the afternoon, Sean and I took down all our Christmas stuff and put it away for another year. We also trimmed our Crepe Myrtles as we expect to have no more cold weather this season (cross your fingers!) On Sunday we traveled to St. Augustine for a bridal show...we met a billion vendors who work out of Jacksonville, so I'll be highlighting some of my favs over the next few weeks. Next blog I think I'll run down the plans for the wedding thus far! :)

Hopefully this week will be just as fun...it's certainly starting off right as LSU has just beaten Ohio in true SEC style! Ha ha...try again Buckeyes! Here's to a great second week of the new year! Ciao!

Get Fit Challenge

So, today I signed up for Discovery Health's National Body Challenge. I am not as overweight as I often feel, but I do want to be much thinner for the wedding. I'd like to be able to order my dress in April/May being at least 2 sizes smaller. Wish me luck...weight loss has never really been my forte!

I have join a local gym though and am committing myself to losing at least 20 pounds by May. At an average of 2 pounds per week (the healthy recommendation), I should make it just fine (I'll keep reminding myself of that as all the office folk are chowing down on chocolates). Gotta keep the big picture in mind!

My soon to be father-in-law has decided to quit smoking...hopefully we'll both meet our goals.

Speaking of goals...what kinds of goals are we setting this year? Clearly Sean and I want to get the wedding planned and paid for in a reasonable amount of time. We're also planning a big trip to Australia for our honeymoon. Among other things, I'd like to find a better job, maybe even a career. I'd like to grow my hair about 5 inches longer..that'd be nice. I'd like to get the house finished (doubtful) and I'd like to be able to spend more free time enjoy my hobbies (whatever they may be). It seems these days any free time I have is spent resting and recuperating from a terribly long week at work.

Ah, such is life I guess. One thing after another, try and rest in between. My biggest goal this year should be learning to appreciate my life. Which I do for the most part, but I've always got something to complain about it seems. The grass is always greener on the other side, until you get to the other side and realize it's not. Maybe this year I'll accept that and stop trying to get to the other side. Ok, I feel like I'm babbling...I am aren't I. I'll stop.

For now, I'm looking forward to a short work week and a happy New Year's celebration. If I forgot to mention it before, I am a huge Gator fan! We are playing Michigan at the Capital One bowl this year, so I'll be spending my New Year's Day with friends cheering the boys on to victory (we hope). Happy New Year to everyone!

New bloggers' first post...

So, this is my new passion...blogging. I've come to really enjoy reading about others' adventures, so I've decided to share my own. I will be posting every few days for now, but hope to work up to blogging on an everyday basis.

I must first say Happy Birthday to my little sister, Taylor. Today she is turning 20 and making me feel older and older every year (I can't imagine how my parents feel).

A little bit about me: I am 22 with only 6 months left to enjoy my lucky year. It has proven to be a very lucky year, however. I am recently engaged to Sean, set to be married on 11-08-08. We bought a house this year (our first) which is very nice and cozy (I'll post pictures later on). I graduated with a degree in Economics back in May, which has proven to be less helpful than I expected. I am currently looking to change careers...I want to be a chef, but as you know...that's easier said than done. I have four siblings: Missie, Adam, Taylor and Ike. I am the proud owner of a Boston Terrier, Mackenzie, who is the light of our life most days. She is very spunky and very demanding, but shows her love for us in every expression. We also house a family of sugar gliders (our first encounter with aussie natives), a handful of box turtles and a beautiful Fancy Goldfish.

That's a good enough introduction to get me started, I'll elaborate in the future.

This blog should mostly be about wedding details, honeymoon plans, and preperations for our big move, but you know how some days can be....these are the adventures of my life.
