It should have occurred to me to combine those two goals ealier. I actually emailed Lisa of Whether Bags (http://whetherbags.com/) who also happens to be a yoga teacher. I hope my next update is going to have yoga and posture checked off! :D Thanks, Emily! It should have occurred to me to combine those two goals ealier.

I can't wait to see it in dress form! Second, I just started taking a yoga class and it has done wonders for my posture. I'm taking a class that focuses on form, so we don't do a lot of graceful moving from pose to pose, but we spend a lot of time on one pose, getting it exactly right. I feel like I finally know how to stand up straight now! If you can find a class like this near you, I highly recommend it. I've done the other kind of classes (the flow-y kind) and they are great workouts, but didn't teach me good posture. Good luck! First, that green fabric for your dress-to-be is beautiful!

Now that I've had things growing in it for a couple months now, I can honestly say I'm in love. It's so nice to have a wall of plants inside year-round. :) Thanks, Holly!

We're all lovey today because we're so excited the tension didn't last. Husband and I are such dorks, but that's okay. Thanks, Emily!

Although it was less of a fight and more of an emotional break down on my end that led to a few tense moments. All day I was torn between "just let the situation be and have it run its course, Valentines or not" AND "push it aside so we can enjoy Valentines together". In the end it was a mix of both. He sent me flowers at work and I got him a handmade gift. We hugged and kissed and enjoyed each others company in the midst of the heaviness in the air. It's hard when life is not what you want it to be, especially when there are strong expectations for how you think it SHOULD be! Glad you and your husband were able to enjoy the day together :) I’m right there with you: fight on our first married Valentines.
