Five on Friday

It's that day again ladies. Friday.

And I have to say that this week was a long one.

Since we really haven't had a full week of school since December [MLK day, the day Antarctica took over the world & two snow days], it was a struggle pressing through five whole days. How exhausting. ;) But no, really.

Luckily, it's another Five on Friday post for me & it'll be a quickie.

One.

Miranda @ Life in the Lowcountry had a precious idea for a link-up, and asked me to join in on the fun. I was flattered that she asked, and was super excited when I learned about the topic!

Vacation!

Not just any vacation...

SUMMER VACATION!

I don't know about y'all, but I'm ready for shorts, flip flops & icy beverages on a sandy beach.

And with all this cold & snow around the country, I bet most of y'all are ready too!

On Monday, February 10th, you can link up with Miranda & I to share your vacation spot for this summer, or if you aren't sure yet, no worries! What would your dream vacation be? What was your favorite vacation from the past? We want to know! 

Shed those mittens, scarves & puffy vests for a bikini and flip flops.

Let's put a little sunshine on our minds. :)

Two.

Cody showed me this INCREDIBLE video the other day, and I about started to cry.

Not from sadness, but from being so inspired. By somebody you'd least expect.

Check it out.

 

Three.

I actually started working towards my February goal of working out and eating more healthy. 

• Monday, I took Maci to the park with Ashley & her dog, Hank.
•  Tuesday, Cody & I hit the gym. Which I really enjoyed because it was something healthy we were doing together. 
• And Wednesday I hit the treadmill at my mom's house on the way home from work. 

[Thursday I had my hair appointment, thank the Lord. Those roots were killing me.] 
So I plan to keep up with it, and I already feel better.

Exercising isn't so bad when your view looks like this. #springfever

Four.

This weekend, we FINALLY have our food tasting at our venue.
I have been waiting for this day for.ever.
We had a little setback when picking items to try.
Our venue said we could only pick two entrees to try, and three vegetables/sides. 
Which is exactly how much you get at your reception.
But we had a problem with that. 
What if we hated something? We had to guess what to pick without trying it? 
No. No. I'm not doing that even if I sound like a bridal brat.
So after some complaining, and almost changing venues four months before we get married [WHICH IS EXACTLY FOUR MONTHS AWAY TODAY. HOLY CRAP. BREATHE.], we worked out a compromise, which hopefully will come through on Sunday.
I'll be sure to let y'all know...

Five.

In other blogging news, Kristan @ Lavendar & Light asked me to do a guest post next week about marriage/relationships/love. Perfect for Valentine's Day next Friday!
Kristan is a super sweet girl, and I love love love reading about her life in Alaska! 
Super cool right?



So be on the lookout for that next week! :)

In the meantime...

Happy Friday y'all!
