This weekend was jam packed with activity so I am a little tired today. I would love it if every weekend were a three day weekend. Wouldn't that be great?
As most of you know, I had a wedding to coordinate and set up for Saturday, so the rehearsal was Friday night. I raced from my day job to the venue and was done by about 6. My neighbor texted me to see what I was up to, because her husband was headed to Baton Rouge early for the LSU/Bama game. She and her youngest daughter, E, were hanging out at home. I walked across our yard to hang out with them and ended up chatting with her till almost 1! Not good when I have a wedding the next day, but once you get us started it's hard to stop. Here is a picture of E and I. Isn't she adorable? Look at those little baby teeth!
J told me when she woke up the next morning she screamed, "Oh NO, where is my Kassie?!" lol..I just love her!
The next morning I woke up at 7:30 and did a few things around the house. I got to the venue around 12 and never stopped till I got home at midnight. Here are a few pictures from the wedding. (Sorry for the repeat, Instagrammers!)
Each little burlap bag had white Jordan almonds in them. Normally, I try to stray brides away from favors like that, but the packaging was just too cute. I am a sucker for burlap and linen!
Sunday I slept till almost 9:30 (which was really 10:30 thanks to the stupid time change that I am not loving!) I woke up and watched tv for a while before picking up lunch from a local restaurant. I will admit I ate like total crap all weekend long and may have gained 4 pounds in french fries and water weight. It's a new week though and I am not going to dwell on it.
Our 10k is this coming Saturday! I am absolutely petrified because last Thursday's group run was horrible for me. I know it's because I didn't fuel well enough (i.e. ate only a salad for lunch and no carbs at dinner on Wednesday night), but my longest run is still 4.5 miles. Not sure what'll happen Saturday. My biggest fear is that since it's not just a 5k there will be no "fun runners" or walkers and I'll finish dead last. Yes, I make myself crazy with these ideas. I am still set to start half marathon training at the end of the month though. So I guess I am in fact crazy. I wonder if I'll ever actually be able to run a 5k without stopping. I'm still topping out at two miles. Not sure why.
That's all I got for today, folks. I know right, super exciting. Tomorrow I'll have more though! Anybody get started on their Blog Swap shopping? I did!
Whew, I don't know how you do it! Working and wedding planning all in a day would kill me :) I loved the pics of the wedding, totally adorable!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how moms do it either! I can't imagine having a little one and working or going to school full time. You guys are superwomen, I am just someone with not alot of free time on my hands! lol...Luckily I just have one more in two weeks then I'm done for the rest of the year and just have to worry about my day job lol Thank you for the compliments though!
DeleteOh I'm so excited to start my shopping!! Sounds like you did have a crazy weekend. And try not to stress out too much about your run - just enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteaww that's such a cute picture of you and E!
ReplyDeleteYou will be completely OK for your 10k, no worries!
I am so impressed with you! I have to start getting serious with my wedding planning and am at a loss. all I know is we are doing "rustic barn" and I also love burlap and lace. you'll have to channel some of your mojo to me :) good luck on Saturday!! you'll do great
ReplyDeleteOur wedding was all about the lace and burlap lol..I will try to do a post soon with some of our wedding pictures since a few people have asked. Pinterest was a huge inspiration! Thank God it came out before we got married lol
DeleteCute picture... I have no doubt you will do GREAT with the 10K - just pace yourself and try not to worry about the other people. I KNOW it is hard - but you can do it.. I know it...
ReplyDeleteHey girl! You will rock your 10K ass off on Saturday! I'm doing a 5K so just know we will be running together...kind of...isn't that inspiration?! :-)
ReplyDeleteHow can I get an invite to one of your weddings? Even though I won't know the couple, I'll know you and that's all that matters, right? RIGHT?!
Am I sounding stalkerish yet? No, hang on! I'll text you!
I love the country chic wedding theme. Everything looked gorgeous. In a post, you should kind of give us a play by play about being a wedding planner-- like what you do before a wedding and what your role is at the wedding. It just seems like such an awesome gig-- minus the bridezilla and bridezilla mother's. :)
ReplyDeleteYou will do great at your 10K. Just remember to not beat yourself up over needing to walk and catch your breath for a minute. I still can't run a full 3 miles without stopping either. I like to tell myself that at each mile I will walk for 60 seconds. I think it helps if you plan that in advance--then you don't feel as guilty for having to take a breather! I hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI thought my weekends were busy! Yours would wear me completely out! I would love to do weddings! They are so much fun and there are so many cute ideas that wasn't around when I got married 8 years ago! (Love me some pinterest and having two younger sisters that still have to get married).
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your run, you will kick butt!!
I have some ideas for the Blog swap items!!
Where were you when I got married?! You do a fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was wondering if you could give me some ideas about the swap. I am stumped! I see people who look like they are crafting stuff. I want my swap partner to be happy with what she gets but I am drawing a blank! Help!
OK. That looks gorgeous! I am getting married in 2014 and am totally going with the burlap and lace look... Mind if I pick your brain sometime??
ReplyDeleteNo problem girl! Shoot me an email at kassiemromero@gmail.com and I will give you tons of advice and ideas:) I will also do a post soon about our wedding with lots of pictures.
DeleteYou’re such a passionate woman, Kassie! I can’t imagine myself going through wedding preparations again and again, and for other people. I believe it doesn’t lessen the stress when you are just the coordinator. Handling the wedding jitters of the bride-to-be is just one of the challenges. Keep the heart for this job! :] How many times have you used this venue, by the way? -->Zachary Payne
