Yay, congrats on hitting 1200 pages Ivy. 
I did the exact same thing you did Ivy, only with bows.
I think I have about 7 missing, if I counted correctly.

LILLI-KINS!
Thank you, I didn't even notice until you said something. How have you been since we last talked on here? Everything going well with your family, and this freaky weather too?
What bows are you missing?

Hihi, well it's an achievement, so I thought I should bring it up.
My family is being my family, as usual.
The season is turning here, we have recently had a huge fire in the hills of the city where I live, but it has been put out, thank goodness. It was a very dry summer here in New Zealand.
How have you been doing? Any wedding plans yet?
I have updated my shop's first post with the bows that I am missing.

Awe well I am happy to have this shop last as long as it has. I've some amazing memories hidden in the pages which is why I will never close it down.
It has been dry here as well. We actually have a burn ban in effect for the better part of the season because the meteorologists predict dry weather. No burning after 4pm until the next morning, and if we need to burn it has to be contained and small.
Yes we finally have wedding plans and are trying to make everything work. He is gone for Work-Up atm so I'm doing most of the research by myself until he comes back.
I have been great! Went back to college and am finally staying true to a diet that works for me. My workouts are getting better but I still don't have a way to work out my arms efficiently.

I know how you feel, it has been the same with my shop thread and all of the other threads that I have started. I would never close them down, even if they are not active ATM.
There is an all-year-round fire ban in all of New Zealand. No open fires, controlled fires are only allowed in certain wilderness parks and camping spaces. No open fire BBQs - 
Granted, New Zealand is an island, a bush fire could wipe out the entire island if we are not careful.
Yay, that's great news.
I know doing it on your own is difficult but hang in there.
Oh geez, I never had problems with weight but I am painfully unfit. The other weekend, my hubby and I went for a walk up one of the hills, it took us 4 tries to climb up a tiny slope. I must figure out a way to get myself more fit.
I am glad the diet you chose is working for you.
Have you tried yoga? It's a great all-around body workout.

I am so unfit and i passionately dislike exercise.
My husband and i rode our bikes up the nearby unpaved road/hill a few weeks ago. I was like ooookay! That was my exercise for the year! He just gives me this look kind of like 
My friend is starting a PiYo class at our church soon though. Maybe wanting to hang out with friends will motivate me enough to go to it. I had never heard of it before, i guess its like Pilates and Yoga? idk, i am not really into this whole sweating thing, but i have a little chub roll left over from many years ago that i want to get rid of. 
Now that i am vegetarian i am like, why do i still have this chub roll? oh yeah, i dont exercise.

Oh no! Open BBQ's are the absolute best here in the south! Especially if you have roosters cause they'll start crowing the moment the fire and flames get higher. It's the best. But burning down your entire island...not so best. HAHA
Thank you Lillie. It is hard but at the same time, having it all planned out and then getting his input is easier to change if needed, rather than wait for him and get nothing done. We know our colors and design and little odds and ends, just have no idea where to have it. That has been the biggest challenge.
I'm trying to do yoga with a friend but she lives 45 minutes away and her husband is currently deployed. She has tons of yoga videos so she's my go-to girl. But we both are at a point where life is super busy preparing for military distractions, we barely have time for each other. The diet I am on is called the Mediterranean Diet, with a few custom substitutions.

I just looked up the Mediterranean Diet. I was on board with plant based and all that , until i got to the butter part! Maybe that's my problem, i love butter too much.

Like I said I have made my own substitutions to the diet so I am not eating everything that's on it. But my mom and I realized that the majority of our diet was about 3/4 the Mediterranean already, so we looked into it more and adjusted.
So far we have lost weight, skin is looking healthier, and we barely need to work out. Now it's a matter of toning the muscles that are there and we'll be set for summer.
I am german and italian, so I love butter and cheese double the normal amount.

That is cool, nice that you were already part of the way there. ^_^
I enjoy being a vegetarian, i still get to eat cheese and dessert and don't have to worry about consuming any cute animals.
lol at the butter and cheese comment. I love them both in large amounts as well.

I am a semi vegetarian. I only like certain meats and I don't eat the ones I do like too often unless I am starving and need something filling.
I like grilled chicken the best. If I go to fast foods I'll either get the nuggets or ask to sub the beef for chicken. Some places give me a hard time and want to charge me extra because apparently its more work for them. Little do they know I have coupons for any meal I get so they ain't getting much money out of me  .

That's cool lol
I don't really go to fast foods anymore, we have a mexican restaurant that we go to sometimes. We still eat fish, so we get a fish burrito.
Fish is the only "meat" that we eat now.
Other than that we don't go out to each much since living on this side of the island. When we lived on the other side we just had a little camp stove in the bus and no fridge so we went out to eat a lot more. Things are more expensive on the dry side of the island.
Now we are in a house on the wet side and we mostly stay at home and cook. We will go out once a week tops but if i am not feeling well i do not like to go out to eat.
We went to a chinese/vietnamese/thai reataurant nearby and i was surprised how expensive it was. I was like well it was yummy but im not going to be too motivated to come back soon

Hey toxic how are you?
Plaid my mom only eats shrimp now. She became a vegetarian after an incident that she had to do and forevermore vowed to not eat meat again. However she is amazing at cooking meat, she does is solely by smell and the taste of the gravy.
