Beyond the Guilt Phase

Right, so I haven’t blogged in while, but as you can see I’m beyond the guilt phase. I’m also beyond feeling guilty when it comes to my work-out schedule, meaning that it has been so long since I blogged or worked-out, that I have stopped feeling guilty about it. In fact, I’ve more or less stopped thinking about it! Until about mid-May I worked-out several times per week, but since all the wedding craziness started I just haven’t had time. Admittingly I might have had time last week, but like I said, the longer it’s been, the less I’m inclined to do it! Although the beyond guilt phase may have soon completed it’s cycle because, A) I have to come to realize how long it’s been since my last work out and am (gasp) starting to feel (almost) guilty about it, and B) I plan to spend the next two weeks lying on the beach in Thailand and I don’t want to look like I haven’t worked out since May! Right, so moving on…

The wedding went really well, that is what I can remember of it! The week before the wedding was more stressful and busy than I could imagine, and the actual day felt like it was over in 10 minutes. I remember having a fun time and the reception, but that’s about it! (And for the record, all I drank was a glass or two of wine with dinner.)

Last week US friends and family trickled back in to Gothenburg and stayed at our place for a day or two. Most people went off on European adventures after the wedding, but came back to see us again before leaving. Everyone is gone now, we’re still exhausted, and work is mundane. We leave for Thailand on Wednesday and I can’t wait!

We’ve started looking at houses in Gburg again. Staying is a tough decision as I do miss the US and am not sure what I will do about my career here, but it seems to be the most practical decision for now. We bid on a house last week and came in second in the bidding war. We’re planning to bid on another house now before we leave for Thailand. There are so many people interested in buying houses (and so few houses on the market.) House hunting is really nerve-racking! Anyway, we’ll see what happens. Somehow I feel like things will work out for the best. I’m going to start pursuing other career options when we get back from the honeymoon.
Bisous!
