Clean. Simple. FIT!: Wedding Festivities

So as all of you know, I have been preparing for this wedding for months. Well it is finally over and everyone survived. What in the He** am I going to do when it's my own wedding?

Let's start with Thursday, the rehearsal dinner at the Corner Table in Minneapolis. It is a very fancy restaurant, but the food was really good and it was fun to eat things I wouldn't have normally ordered. It was a four course meal of beet salad, gnocchi, beef brisket, and a pistachio and honey dessert. I would definitely recommend eating there if you are in the area!

Friday festivities:

I got asked to go and get coffee with Megan and Carla to pick up breakfast and coffee so we made a 7:00am Caribou Run to get the caffeine necessary to make it through the day.

When we got back from the hotel I went and explored the workout room. 45 minutes was all I had and it was definitely not enough time to take in the beautiful amenities that we had at the hotel....BEST GYM I have ever been to. There was a cardio room, weight room, basketball court, aerobics room, stretching and free weights room, pool, spa, and sauna....I am in awe just thinking about it.

After the workout it was time for me to get ready. Hair, make up, the works. GLAMOUR TIME!

Namie got a little tired holding one of the bridesmaids baby.....zzzz....sleepytime for them both.

Then it was time to go to the hall and get Meggers married! My reading was the first part of wedding so it was all I could do to hold back tears while she was walking down the aisle so that my poem wouldn't be a blubbery mess. I made it through the poem and got tons of compliments which was nice! But as soon as I got back to my seat and saw Megan and Phil getting married I lost it, it was a river of tears....I was a mess. Dad and I had to go outside after the ceremony so I could calm down....it was that bad. It really hit me that it wasn't going to just be Megs anymore, now it's going to be Megan and Phil.

So today was my day to relax...

I went out to coffee with Katie. I love having the time at home to get to spend time together! I am so excited that her and Jake are coming up this weekend to shop at Albertville. Can you say fiesta?

When I got home Mom and I went to Acapulco for lunch then ran some errands. I was in desperate need of some Trader Joe's stuff. We also went to Target and Michael's and stocked up on Halloween decorations for my future classroom. I also organized all of the stuff I had already, two and a half under bed boxes later, everything is sorted. Good Lord, can I have my own classroom yet?

Tonight we made cheese steaks for dinner. Yum! Now we're just watching a movie and having together time.
