Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! šŸ™‚ This weekend was my first weekend “off” from weddings since March I believe? So instead of a wedding, I hosted a 5K Foam Run with my brides on Saturday!!! I cannot begin to tell you how much fun it is to hang out with them and go on a little adventure together! I’ll be sharing more of this adventure as well as photos on Wednesday! I cannot wait to do another one next year as I’m hoping to make it a summer tradition. šŸ™‚ Here’s a sneak peek of what is to come on the blog! SO FUN!

[Phone Quality]Ā ā€¦ did not dare to bring in my nice camera on this foamy and dirty run. šŸ˜‰

Besides the run, really I just prepared myself for the beach this week! I’m out of the office the remainder of this week because I’m celebrating Gods gift of the “relaxation place” with sand between my toes! I know I’ll be anxious to get back to my daily routine once I return. šŸ™‚

Oh and of course this adorable couple is coming to the blog tomorrow!!! Cannot wait to share their love story and proposal video as well as their photos from their recent engagement session! YAY!
