A Little Behind

To say the least, I am a little behind in posting to our blog.  Just when I think to do it, something else comes up and another day goes by.  I'll try to post a few in the next couple days to catch up.

For starters, we made it through the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer weekend.  It was a great experience and I am very glad that I participated.  I was not able to make it for the entire 39 miles, but am proud of how far I got and the decisions I made when I thought it best to stop.  From my estimations, I made it about 28-29 miles.  And although I had some pretty intense pain in my knee and my hips that I needed to recover from for the following 2 days after the walk, I had no long term injuries and I didn't get ANY blisters!  It was great to do this with Jack, Gina, my future sister-in-law, Liz, and our other team members Amy and Robyn.  All of my teammates and I were able to reach our fundraising goals prior to starting the weekend, so that was a relief for all.  Truthfully though, I am also very relieved that the Avon Walk is behind us for this year. 

Bright and early on Monday morning, Jack had to fly to LA for work.  While he was gone, it gave me a chance to fully recover from the walk and to get my act together on what I needed to focus on next, which still catching a movie with my friend (and bridesmaid), Kristen.  Once Jack came back, it has been pretty much full steam ahead to check things off our list.  We spent the entire day on Saturday with my parents working on wedding things, while still having a great time of course.  We were able to discuss SO MANY THINGS and either check things off the list or get the discussion going.  The great thing about having Jack there and doing it in person is that I did not have to be the middle-man.  Too often I talk to Jack about one thing, then say "well, I should probably check with my parents about (blank)", then have to relay their response back to him, and so on.  As you can imagine, this is exhausting.  But since Jack can always occupy himself on his laptop, there was not any wasted time.  I feel like we all discussed so much that I can't really remember what it was to provide a good update, except to say that we are getting VERY close to ordering our invitations and we decided on a photographer.  I have to make one phone call for some clarification with the invitation company and then I'll be ready to place the order.

Last night, Jack and I pretty much planned out the next few weeks for ourselves so that we could really get some of these outstanding items taken care of and off our to do list.  I think it is going to really be a busy few weeks, but I'll be so glad when all these bigger items are taken care of, such as finalizing the limo transportation, visiting tuxedo shops, and registering.

Tonight, Jack and I are going to sign the contract with our photographer.  Hooray!  One more thing off the list.
