Round 3

Third time is the charm, yeah?

I'm back... between med school, wedding planning, running and my perpetual case of ADHD, the blog hasn't happened. But now that I have one person committed to reading I thought I'd give it one more try :)

Life isn't much different than it was a year ago! Just more exciting :) School is slooowly coming to an end and it feels like a Mac truck is headed my direction. Lots of studying, exams and boards before the summer can really begin. And then of course, it's practically wedding time!! July 2nd... only 4 months and 1 day away! GASP! We have had SO much time to plan that I haven't really felt any pressure at all but I do have some things looming over my head now.

On another exciting note, Andy and I have decided to run a marathon!!!!!!!!!! Oct 9 in Chicago is the big day :) It's been a goal of mine to run a marathon sometime in my life and I had a realization that I'm only gonna get older and busier so why not now?? Figure it will be easier to train now than with babies and jobs! Our training will seriously start mid May but we want to be comfortably running 5-8 miles before training begins. I've found a new running buddy and we do around 6-7 once a week or so. Andy and I run together 2-3 times/week and we're up to 5 together. We're running a 10K in two weeks and a 10 miler in 4! :) Each week has been a max for him so it's really fun to watch him develop more patience and a better attitude about what he's capable of.

Okay, back to the seriously fun stuff. Wedding. :) I'll share some stuff little by little but here's what's on my mind now... Got lots of to do's for my spring break! #1 is assemble invitations! We got them in the mail and they are gorgeous to the max! And then I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to tie some ribbon and am totally stumped :( Fortunately, mom ties the prettiest bows in the world so she said to just leave them alone. haha. That's the #1 goal for spring break. I'm also hoping to assemble our out of town boxes for the hotels! I finally found the perfect thing to represent Andy and Indiana :) yay!

I FINALLY ordered the shoes I've been dying for! I found them on the Badgley Mischka website recently but they weren't available in stores yet... but, fortunately now they are!! Just in the nick of time as my first fitting is March 19th! ah!!!!! I've been compiling pictures of how I want my dress to fit as well as bustle, etc.

Okay, first I'll share my shoes (bc they are so perfect) and then I have a question!!



Question time! I have a champagne sash to go with my dress. How should it be tied? I personally think it should be tied in the back - Mom thinks it should be in the front. It's a 4 inch wide satin sash and I have a brooch to pin in the middle of the bow. I plan to wear it for the ceremony only and take it off for the reception. Let me know what you think! :)
