I'll just hit the recent highlights! As for workouts I've been running, doing the deck of cards workout a few times a week {burpees always kill me}, Bob Yoga, and Jillian Michaels. Did ya'll see that Jillian will be back on Biggest Loser in January? Who is really happy about this? I know I am, I love her!
Friday I spent the day with Mom. We had an appointment at the reception venue in which we picked out the menu, how the room would be arranged and any extras we wanted. They are going to drape the ceiling with white fabric - I'm so excited! It will look a little like this - this picture is from More than an Image.
We had lunch at my favorite place, America's! Chicken with pineapple salsa, asparagus and quinoa with a mojito! It was love as usual! After that we went to the mall to look for wedding shoes, and Mom finally bought her dress. Its a gorgeous navy form fitting dress with beading and sheer sleeves. Seriously my mom has it going on, a size 2 hour glass figure... Why didn't I get those genes?!?! From there we went to my bridal hair trial. I really want my hair down and curly but out of my face. I love how it turned out, the pictures just don't do it justice! We are going to have to find a better way to pin it though since I have so much hair the weight started loosening the pins after about 4 hrs.
Saturday, Candace and I went to a tea room for lunch. It was so pretty and I loved all the mixed china. They pretty much serve just tea, soup, sandwiches and salads but it was great!
Afterwards, we hit Joann's for some fabric and wedding supplies like a birdcage, guestbook, and candy buffet needs. Candace is hand making a dress for her little girl to wear to the wedding. She is too young to be the flower girl but we still want to include her and have her look darling! We picked out this sweet light pink fabric! I can't wait to see the finished product! After that we just HAD to stop for some frozen yogurt - mandatory snack on fun days! Then we headed to Walmart for some glass dishes and a few other things we needed for the candy buffet at the wedding. Thank goodness we decided to go to Walmart cause we saved TONS of money getting it there instead of Joann's or Michaels.
Sunday was Funday! Started with Cars and Coffee with the Camaro and lunch with our car buds! After that we headed south to another car friends place for a day of fun in the country! The girls talked, the boys shot their guns in the woods, and then we ended the night just sitting around talking. I love days with friends like that - even if it meant not getting home until 1 am!
As for Monday, I got up and ran for twenty minutes and came back inside because it was too hot to do my deck of cards workout instead. Then not long after my dad got the ribs out of the oven for a DELICIOUS dinner, I started feeling sick and have been down since. Good thing is the fiance has been a AWESOME nurse and spoiling me rotten. Maybe I should get sick more often.
Anyways, I'm sorry I haven't been posting much. But I'm trying to at least get one post in a week to keep in touch. Only five weeks till the wedding then I should have my life back. I don't know how people miss planning their wedding, it is exhausting!
Question:
How did you spend your Labor Day weekend?
