Not bad. We got to run all around the studio lots and Forest Lawn, in Burbank. It was a fun run. The mile markers seemed to come a lot quicker than they usually do, so I think that's a pretty good sign. The group runs are a lot of fun, because I'm able to take my mind off of running when they're around, so time flies a little faster. I did get a new job, which may require me to work Sunday morning/afternoons, so I'm a little worried about that. I'm going to try my best to continue to run with my Sunday group, even though it means that all of my Saturdays for the next 5 months are going to be early nights and lots of water. Bye, bye fun. Hello run.
I should also mention that I've been getting so much support lately by friends and family, all very generously donating to help those living with AIDS and to help me get to marathon day! It's been hard to wipe the smile off my face the past few days. If you want to help, please donate here: http://apla.convio.net/goto/annette. Remember, every dollar counts! And, it's tax deductible!
Favors, Bridesmaid Dresses & Church
Lots of things to mark off the list this week! I finished my top secret wedding favor project! I'm extremely happy with how everything looks and I can not wait to start putting it all together - which will be around February! There are still a few top secret decorative elements that remain, but the hardest part is done!
The biggest accomplishment this week has been... I got bridesmaid dresses! It all happened so fast! I just happen to be walking by one of my favorite dress shops and found the perfect bridesmaid dresses! I got a great deal, so I just went for it. Luckily, I got all the girls the right sizes! And surprisingly, all of the girls and the moms (including mine) love the dress! How did I manage to make everyone happy? So, that's a big burden off of my back. Now, for the shoes...
Brian and I have also been doing a lot of the church planning this week. We went to our focus and found out that we were pretty darn compatible! Hooray! That means, we were able to opt out of the weekend engagement encounter and attend a one-day engagement session instead. Brian also got the music approved for our ceremony and is now focusing on the arrangement.
So, things are getting done. It's really great!
