It's been a while since I've had any significant amount of time to myself, but right now I've got a moment or two to spare. I don't feel quite so guilty about typing out a post

They know about it from my Aunt Cindy's success with it. Thing is, Aunt Cindy is still losing the weight. She's not maintaining it yet, and there's really no integration within the program that helps you do so (which keeps you dependent on their products). My mom told me, "If I start to gain the weight back, I'll just go on the diet again." That, in my mind, encourages yo-yo dieting. And the way they eat is so far from normal, I don't actually know how they're going to integrate what they're doing into eating in the "real world" afterwards. But those are issues they're going to have to work out, not me. So far they've lost 30 lbs a piece in just over a month.
Oh! And Rich got another job offer. He put in his application and they've only accepted 3 applicants. It doesn't pay as well, but it's in his field and it's at the church he's been a member of since he was 10. He could totally use it as a stepping stone to getting a better paying job in sports. Best thing is he won't have to relocate and he could move in with me once we're engaged! Keep your fingers crossed!!!!
"Living in sin" doesn't freak me out: been there, done that. I'm more in line with trying to keep his parents and my parents happy. I know that's a stupid way to look at it, especially because we're grown adults, but they're both probably going to be helping with the wedding. We'll have to take their feelings into consideration. Additionally, once Rich moves out, his parents won't be helping him financially anymore. With the job he currently has, he can't afford not to live with them. He's barely above minimum wage.
I almost wish we could have our wedding this year, for completely selfish reasons: I want to have all my friends and loved ones in one place with me, I want to be able to start saving money on utilities and whatnot once Rich moves in, and I'd love to have a better bed! This one I have sucks, but I won't buy another one since I know Rich will be bringing his over once we get him moved in! Additionally, we won't have to keep driving back and forth from his house to my house and vice/versa when we're done visiting. We've spent the night at each others' places (his folks were uncomfortable with his staying with me which I feel is assinine). I've also spent the night at his place in the guest bedroom, as well, but there are times when I just don't want to have to deal with his parents. All I want to do is be with/interact with him. Don't get me wrong, I love his parents. I just have days when I don't want to have to go through the ritual greeting and small talk before I get to see Rich.
But please please please keep you fingers crossed that Rich gets the local job!

Parents...it doesn't get any easier after marriage, believe me...but make sure you keep a very healthy DISTANCE from them when you are married.
love you!
