Its the morning of my Bridal shower and I’m just so excited! I’m sitting outside on my porch with my coffee and lap top, still totally clueless about all the details of this wonderful party taking place today at 11:30am. All of my bridesmaids are here and even our dear friend Juan Carlos flew in from Miami Beach to help. Since I live 2 doors down from where the party will be, I can hear the laughter and excitement going on over there while they set up but still can’t tell a thing. My mother and the girls have been working like crazy on this party for weeks and weeks. Its so weird and exciting to be completely in the dark about a party and not be able to discuss with all my girls. Its like a surprise party that you know about but DONT know about! haha! I have to figure out what to wear! The good news is that weather wise, we got an AMAZING DAY!! The temperature is perfect and sky is clear. I CAN NOT EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT THEY ARE DOING OVER THERE!!! I’m so out of the loop! haha! Well, I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures so I can post them. Today Lorraine, my maid of honor, is the last girl to be fitted for her bridesmaid dress and then those will be ordered. How exciting! Its exactly 3 months until my big day! Ahhhhhh!!!!
Oh yeah, I’ll also post pictures from my birthday party. WOW! that was so much fun too! We had a cute little party at my mom’s house with a fantastic dinner and presents and a chocolate cake and little pink cakes. My fiance bought me a beautiful watch and the best part is, my favorite number, 8, on the watch is in diamonds! Its so pretty!
Ok, time to get ready for my shower! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I’m SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!! Its just 2 hours away!

Well hello!!! its been quite a while since I’ve written in this journal, although I think about trying to fit in an entry all the time. I actually write journal entries in my head but by the time I find the time to sit down and type, I forget what I was thinking about writing! Things in my life have been pretty hectic and busy and just wonderful! Tomorrow is my 28th birthday and I just love this time of year. The days in NJ have been so pretty and warm and I’ve been spending as much of my free time outside. My allergies have been terrible though!
So this week and weekend is going to be so much fun. All my best friends (and bridesmaids) will be here to celebrate my birthday and my bridal shower! I am so excited. I don’t have a clue about the theme or any details about my bridal shower but I know all the girls have been working so hard on it so I can’t wait! For my birthday we’ll be having a big wonderful family picnic dinner. I have invited about 15 people to that and we’ll be eating one of my favorite meals…. fruited pot roast. Its AMAZING, trust me!!
My website and journal are called Dana Lynn Fit because its supposed to be about my FITNESS lifestyle so I’ll have to be honest… it hasn’t been a huge priority lately. I’m NOT happy about that either and it weighs on my mind all the time. I’ll admit, I’m a bit chunkier now then I would like to be and with my wedding dress fitting around the corner I really have no excuse. Anyway, I’m not going to sit here and make an excuse because there are none. I just have to get my butt in gear again and make sure to make physical fitness a top priority again.
Ok.. well I just got home from work and its almost 7pm. I still have to do the food shopping!
