Weekend Recap

Runaway Brides 5k Fun Run | Sneak Peek!

Where do I even begin?! I’m relieved … excited … Basically, on cloud nine after this whirlwind of a weekend! I have spent MONTHS planning for the Runaway Brides 5k Fun Run and it finally came together Saturday morning. 🙂 I have to say that I was a little worried when I saw rain in the forecast, but fortunately the rain stopped before the run so it was the perfect running weather! Very proud of the girls who ran!!! Everyone made it! Haha! I am already brainstorming bigger and better plans for next year! It’s just going to keep getting better and better!!! Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen! You all are the BEST! More credits to come soon!

Here is a sneak peek from this past Saturday with more to come this week on the blog! 🙂 🙂 🙂
