This mornings run was probably one of the best runs I have gone on in the last month. Not because I was running super fast or anything but because the scenery was beautiful!

I was overwhelmed with joy as I passed by the cadets doing drill and as I ran past other runners enjoying the same scenery. I had to stop a few times to just look at the Lords creation.

I am so excited and proud  to be at West Point to see my fiance’ graduate and commission! I know that it is going to be an amazing week with great friends and family and BEAUTIFUL runs!

This week is going to be extremely busy for me but I just wanted to stop by and give an update! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!

Wedding Countdown: 12 DAYS!!!!!!!!

Where is your favorite place to run?

Surprise Dance Lessons

Today’s Workouts:

Ran on TM: 10 miles

Brian returned on Wednesday night and I feel like we have been completely busy! Bri is not a procrastinator at all and I am a HUGE procrastinator…. so my to-do list that I would have waited to the last minute to do got done in two days and I am EXHAUSTED!

Wednesday night Brian and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings- This is significant for two reasons: 1) because we ate their for lunch the day we got engaged and 2.) That day was also the first time I ate meat after being vegetarian for almost two years ( not sure why I Bdubs was my first choice for that but it is a great memory).

Okay so… I planned private dance lessons for Bri and I as a surprise and it was a SUCCESS! It was so hard for me not to tell him where we were going but I am glad I did. We had so much fun! Neither of us has ever taken dance lessons before so we had to start from the beginning but our instructor was amazing!!! Brian said that the dance lessons have been one of his favorite parts of the wedding planning so far so I feel pretty good about it!

The only way that I could think to get Brian to wear the right shoes without spoiling the surprise was to tell him we had to be dressed up for our date!

After dance lessons we went to a restaurant on the boardwalk called Catch 31. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! It was such a perfect day! I wish we had more free time to actually spend on the beach but it seems like little things just keep coming up that keep us busy.

I love living near the beach!

We sat right on the boardwalk and pretty much people watched during our entire lunch!

I got a turkey and veggie panini and sweet potato fries

Brian got a cajun chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries… and a random fried pickle.

We have had such a great time the past few days even though it has been full of last minute wedding planning and chaos!

I hope everyone has an amazing and relaxing weekend!
