95 days

And too many good news of late!

Happy days.

Can't believe I am almost married!

To the dude my friend decided not to hook me up to in 2006 but life helped me find in 2011.

Happy!!!

And my sis in law looked regal on her day. Will post pics soon

xoxo!

All because 2 people fell in love.....

Whoop whoop! Today is my big brother's traditional wedding in London! Wishing the beautiful couple lots of love and happiness! Will post pictures when I get any!

However, since dad and myself are stuck here in Ghana, we will spend the day together and discuss my own traditional wedding cos its only 97 days to my own big day and he is worried that I'm too relaxed for a bride to be! No bridezilla mode activated! Lol!

Marry a King.....

Marry an army officer and live happily like a queen forever...

Random, ordinary day!

Counting my blessings

Body inspiration

So I wanna have this body on my day and I have been slacking with my work out and diet so starting now I am on a strict diet to shed 4 inches off my waist in 98 days.

I am going to use her pic as my wall paper and depress myself enough to lose the weight. Afterall every one knows the easiest way to lose weight is to be depressed

When you say a prayer, say one for me too.

PS, so in my search for how to get the perfect waist, I came across something called the stomach vacuum. Sounds pretty easy and review looks good. So simply ,

First stand upright and place your hands on your hips…
2. Second… exhale and breathe out ALL the air in your lungs.
3. Third… expand your chest and now suck your stomach in and hold it as tight as you can. It is helpful to visualize sucking your belly button in so tight that it touches your spine.. of course it never will but this will give you the proper feeling.
4. Fourth … From here you simply hold it for a period of time before releasing and breathing back in and taking a
short break.
A good place to start is 20 seconds… Once you can do 4 or 5 sets of 20 seconds slowly work your way up to 40
seconds and then eventually 1 full minute. take approximately 1 minute break in between your stomach vacuums.

The great thing about this exercise besides the fact that it is the Most effective way to lose inches fast is the
fact that you can do it anywhere. Even if you are stuck in traffic.. You NOW have no excuses for not training
your abs and dropping some inches.

Ok will add this to the skipping, plank n crunches..... ;)

99!! Could be 66 turned upside down!

Why do men get so touchy during wedding planning? Grrr....
My dad once said a couple who don't fight during wedding planning are not in love!!
Gosh, Bread spread (that's bobo's name from now on and nope you don't need an explanation) can be so nice and when the conversation switches to wedding planning, we immediately find something to fight about.

Today's fight was over food! Of all the things to fight about! Food!!!
B wanted food for 300 people and I don't think we even know 300 people but he claims if it must be done, it must be done well.... Grrrrr!!!

Anyway, these are one of the things I love and hate about him at the same time.. He leaves no stone unturned when doing something! *applauds*

Side note, 99 is such a cool number! There is something about knowing you are not in the triple digits anymore!

99 days more to the making of Mrs N and oh I love the quote on my countdown page today!

100 days more to living life by his side!

Once upon a time, there lived a girl, she met a prince, she cooked him jollof spiced with love potion and they lived happily ever after.... Kikikiki

Well, that is not exactly how it happened but you get the drift right? I am just an ordinary girl living an EXTRAordinary life as the fiancee (gosh, do I love that word) of a gentleman and a king!!!

I have been engaged for the past six months to this amazing man and everyday has been an adventure!! And in exactly 100 days, I get to wake up by his side. Not everyone gets so lucky!!

From now till day 100, I'm going to be blogging about the making of Mrs N... Some crazy wedding planning moments, the laughter, the memories and any EXTRAordinary stuff I remember to put up...

Stay tuned and comment!

I heart the soldier

You know its not everyone who is lucky to find their soul mate. That person who was created just for them. I'm lucky to be part of the lucky few to find mine.....

Really, it was just in the middle of an ordinary life that love found me. I was not looking, not searching and not worried about not looking and not searching. Then, bam!, it happened. I'm not sure how I knew he was the one, I just knew. It must have been the way, he worried about me more than I worried about myself.

Now that the wedding is closer, I look at him and smile for no reason. He asks why? And I say nothing because words cannot explain how happy I am. Lucky to find such an awesome man with such a good heart. Someone who knows how to put up the child in me and challenge the adult in me.

Just recently, we went through a very horrible phase in life. I cried my heart and soul out, I dealt with pain and guilt but he never left my side for a second. He was there holding my hands when words failed us, he cracked jokes when he felt I needed to smile again. He even got me cake and then it hit me, I'm in love with the one person I am meant to love!
