Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

I’m SO thrilled spring has sprung all around us. 🙂 The flowers are blooming, the sun is bringing everyone outside … what is there not to love about this season (despite any allergies)?! Last week was pretty crazy for my schedule due to the enthusiasm over the greenery and blossoms. All worthwhile for sure! Thursday, I was able to slow down and go hiking with one of my bride/friends. Last week started my workout routine to get ready for the beach this summer and it is already kicking my butt! Hoping that these next two months will get me where I want to be physically … seems like plenty of time to make a change, right? Anyone else ready for beach weather?!?!?!? I think I am ready for ice cream! Haha!

Until then, I have some sweet couples to share with you all this week on the blog. 🙂

I just have to share this one photo. 🙂 We were gathering for a group photo when the ring bearer wanted to have a little fun act like a train. It was precious! Cannot wait to share more from this beautiful spring day!!
