Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

Happy first day of SPRING!!!! It’s a bit chilly outside, but I know the warmer weather is just around the corner. 🙂 Cannot wait for sunshine and time to hopefully spring clean around the house! I know you must be anxiously feeling the same way!

Well, this weekend officially kicked off wedding season with Devin and Makalea’s wedding! Although it’s still early in the year and I don’t have another wedding for another month, it felt good to be back at it! My body may have said another thing … WHEW! By the end of the night, my feet were sore. It has been since December since I have photographed a 9+ hour day and I’m still feeling it. 😉 I definitely allowed myself to sleep in Sunday morning. Haha! Then I finally headed to the doctor for antibiotics since I have been dealing with this nasty cough for over a week. Let me be honest and say that I am SO relieved I didn’t hack up a lung during the ceremony!!! WHEW! I cannot wait to share more photos on the blog this week!

As I was saying above, I took yesterday to rest and relax … I even took a nap?! Only Corinne takes naps (Bachelor, anyone?)! Haha! 😉 With the Runaway Brides 5k Fun Run coming up fast (less than two weeks away, AH!), I ran around and started picking up some supplies for the event. 🙂 Oh my gosh, I cannot WAIT to share some behind the scenes goodies with you all! Be sure to follow me on Instagram, and I’ll be sure to share some random craft projects with you on my Instastories over the next two weeks! It’s going to turn out great!!
