Two Weeks

Two Weeks.

I can't believe it. We are two weeks away from the wedding. I am now getting ridiculously excited.
It is a bit surreal for sure. I had my "practice" hair yesterday, seriously a little crazy how everything is falling into place bit by bit.

This Weeks To Do List:
  • Finish my bridesmaid gifts 
    • They are about 95% done - so I just need to squeeze in some time to finish them
  • Pick up the bulletins for worship
    • they are printed I just have to get to the printer during business hours
        • life has been crazytown around here and I haven't had time
  • Make the meal tags for the reception
    • This shouldn't take long - I have the tags all made they just need the appropriate color placed on the bottom of them
  • Pay the flower lady and give her the twine to wrap around the base of the flowers
  • Pay the cake lady and give her the ribbon for the cake
  • start cleaning my house
    • I am starting with the upstairs because I really don't use it all that often and I have company coming so it is time to buckle down and get that cleaned up
  • double check to-do lists
  • wrap bridesmaid gifts
  • write thank yous from last weekend's shower
    • I have half done
  • write thank yous for people helping with the wedding
    • lots of these to do

One Month Until Tinkerbell Half Marathon

This is from our Disney World trip a year ago, but it just seemed
wrong to not have a wonderful photo with today's post.
Plus who doesn't love having their photo with all 7 dwarfs?!
I have seriously been counting down for months until the Tinkerbell Half Marathon. I am over the top excited. I actually get to fly to California on the 17th (whoop whoop for a few days of vacation), this will allow for several things, a couple of runs at sea level, a guaranteeing that the weather won't keep me from running, and some time to relax before the run. I will be heading out to California with my parents (yay mom & dad) and my friend Suzi (she is actually running as well & will be earning her coast to coast medal in 2013).

I haven't been to Disneyland since band tour five years ago and I am excited to get back, without a bus full of people and without the obligations of playing my instrument all over southern California with a dash of Disneyland on the side. I am excited to see California Adventure and the new Cars area. It should be marvelous.

We have some meal reservations made, it seemed much easier than in Disney World, we got into all our first choice places at the time we wanted. Glorious. I am jazzed to try some new places and eat deliciousness. Should be great.

I have begun to think about what I will need to wear on race day. The weather is always the wild card. I also forget what it is like to run at those temps coming from up north where I have to put on hats and mittens and all the winter gear to run currently. Bring on southern California.


Anyone have any Tinkerbell Half Marathon tips?
Did anyone run Tinkerbell last year?
