Our Wedding Day

First of all, Happy National Running Day!

This blog will be back to its boring normal workout self soon, I promise!

Our wedding day began with breakfast at my family's cabin. We always joke that when we get together we are planning the next meal while eating the current one - and if there is one thing we they do almost as well as eat, it's cook!

After breakfast a few of us went for a hike. We wanted to keep it fairly easy since we didn't have a ton of time and didn't want to wear ourselves out completely.

How about climbing a few steps?

Swinging bridges are fun!

There were quite a few more stairs than we expected!
We still had a good time though.

We happened upon this cave and rested for a few minutes to cool off. It was easily 10-15 degrees cooler down in the cave than outside.

My sister and I dress alike often - and not on purpose.

Once we hit Balancing Rock, we decided to turn back around. We were hoping for a little bit of rest time between lunch and going to my hair and make up appointment.

Then it was time to get hitched!

It honestly could not have been a more perfect day.
The weather was gorgeous (pouring rain was just 20 minutes north of us).
Everything went surprisingly smoothly.

My mom and sister helped me get ready and did a little pre wedding photo shoot for us. They captured the prep and the moment when K saw me for the first time.

Why yes, those ARE Liverpool FC socks.
And yes, I surprised him with them a few weeks ago!

We met our photographer on Sky Bridge for photos before the wedding then headed to the overlook for the ceremony.

The ceremony was beautiful - the lighting was amazing as the sun was setting in front of us and streaming through the trees.

And then we became Mr. & Mrs.!
I can't stop looking at the pictures - and we don't even have the photographer's pics yet.
I wish I could live the day over and over. It was amazing.

Sorry for the longest post ever!

Weekend Review

Saturday: 6ish mile hike
Monday a.m.: Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit

I picked up HTB after work on Friday and we headed down to Red River Gorge in Kentucky for the weekend.

After all the work moving, organizing, cleaning, etc. that we have done over the last several weekends, we were ready for some R&R and I can't think of a better place.

After a relaxing Saturday morning sitting on the porch watching cows, chatting, and relaxing we went for couple of hikes.

We had to check our our wedding ceremony location, so that was first.

Maybe one day I'll comb my hair before pictures. HTB is one lucky guy!

The weather was absolutely beautiful - 50 degrees and mostly sunny skies!

After checking out the ceremony location, we headed to the suspension bridge hike. The scenery was beautiful and the bridge was just a tiny bit scary!

Can you spot the Piper dog leading the way?

Saturday would down with the obligatory DQ Blizzard and grilling out and movie.

It was quite the perfect weekend!

I was able to meet my morning workout buddy for Insanity this morning. Her schedule hasn't allowed for many morning workouts lately so it was fun (yes, I'm crazy) to do Insanity together again.

It was a good way to start the week after a relaxing weekend!
