An Update on the Big Stuff

1) My arm:



It has been a week exactly. The top picture is of a different angle because that bruise on my elbow appeared this morning. I have been back at the gym but a VERY modified schedule. Basically I avoid weights. Any time I had a weight class scheduled I walk on the treadmill. At least I am moving still. I tried Zumba today and some of the arm movements hurt. I found myself babying it towards the end of the class. I will try Zumba again tomorrow and see how that goes and try not to move my arms but so far it is looking like strike (kick boxing) is out. If I have to modify Zumba there is no way I can do kick boxing. What am I supposed to do? Not throw punches? That's half the class! So far the only class I can do without modification is Step. We are supposed to use our arms in step but I am not coordinated enough so if I do I fall off the step. Outside of that it does not hurt at all. Where the turqouise was is now yellow but it is slightly swollen. The purple does look different after Zumba. Maybe the arm movement pushed blood around which might have helped it? I don't know. Can you see the white, thin cross in the bottom picture in the left bruise? That wasn't like that before Zumba. I thought two weeks off of weights would be enough but I don't think so right now. A coworker said a similar thing happened to her and her arm was like that for a month.  Your thoughts?

2) The house. We filled out the bankerman's paperwork (he had to go to a surprise funeral on Thursday and ran out of time to tell us.) which went well. I was in the beginning correct and we did not find money but that is okay. The house has been plotted out, we did try to get it rotated (Brian won out and I prefer it that way) but the Architectural Review Board said no and rather then going back and forth with different plans trying to get it rotated as much as possible Brian okay'd the straight design. Both sides had their pros and cons and it will be fine but Brian and I are a bit disappointed. I think Brian is more disappointed.

3) Wedding. Hasn't changed much I dont think. Our original hotel plans fell through but we were able to find replacement hotels and at a better location in the end. We do have to re-plan rehearsal dinner though. All but one of the groomsmen have gotten their tux's and they were supposed to get it by 9.24. Hopefully the last groomsman gets it soon so he will have it for the wedding. It only takes 10 minutes and $20. 2 bridesmaids are planning on getting their dresses in October, the third will hopefully get it in October as November on is cutting it REAL close. The fourth bridesmaid has already ordered hers. Save the Dates are out. Invitations are ordered, hopefully they will be out the door around October 15th to avoid the holiday rush. My mom is coming October 8th to look at florists so that will be decided then and then all we have is the fine details.
