Weekend > Monday

My weekend was ahhmazing!!!! Last time I blogged I was taking the week off because I was super busy getting stuff done to lead up to the weekend and it was totally worth it. My brother's wedding was absolutely beautiful and I had the best time seeing him so happy and basking in the wedding loveliness. Here's a few pictures:

Doesn't it look lovely? I have to admit it got me super excited about planning my own wedding. Whenever Brian decides to pop the question!

I also had a lot of fun this weekend hanging out with the Riders. They got here Thursday night and we spent Friday playing around Lawrence before we headed to Topeka for the rehearsal dinner. Brian had to go into work so Kaleigh, Andrew, the kids, and I went downtown for breakfast. We met up with our old college roommate Ashely and her daughter Sophie. She's getting so big! She's 4 years old now. It doesn't seem possible that she's not a baby anymore. We had lunch and walked around a bit.  It was great getting to see Ashely again. Then Sunday after we got back to Lawrence we went to lunch at The Casbah then headed over to the art fair at South Park. It was awesome! They had so many vendors with really cool art. I couldn't resist picking up a little something. Kaleigh and I had been admiring a bag at Au Marche and it's creator turned out to be a girl with a both at the art fair! Her stuff was so cool. Very funky and creative. She didn't have the bag I was eying at her booth so I went back to Au Marche and bought it. Here it is!

Isn't it super cute?!? The line is called Textile Couture by Emily Hamblin. She has an etsy site but it's not up yet. So for now you can get her stuff at Au Marche. She has bags and tshirts.

After the art fair we had dinner at Mad Greek then headed down the street to Esquina for sangria. It was not too bad, but we wanted to drink more for free. Sooo...we came back to the apartment and busted open the Citron white wine, lemon, brandy beverage we had gotten at Somerset Ridge. Yum. Then sadly, the Riders had to be on their way back to Illinois. I sure wish we lived closer and got to see each other more often. But we always have a great time when we visit!

So today is Monday and my escapades last week have seriously thrown off my routine. I didn't blog at all last week so I almost forgot today. I hardly worked out last week because I was so busy in the evenings so I didn't work out today. I had every intention to, but it did not work out. First I forgot to pack my bag for zumba so I was going to have to come home to change. Then I decided it was too nice outside not to bike so I was going to do that instead. But, I started working on a grocery list and got to thinking that I had better go to the store before Brian got home so we could cook right away. He had to swim tonight and wouldn't be home until after 6. So my bike ride did not happen. I really need to get after it. I don't want to become lazy and put back on any weight that I have lost. People are noticing and telling me I look good which is super motivating to keep going. I also know it's going to be more of a challenge this summer when I don't have a regular schedule. I can't start slacking now before summer has even started! So no more skipping this week!
