62 miles and counting...

So far since I started running, almost a total of 5 weeks, I have ran 62 miles!! That is bonkers. That would be like running from my house in The Colony to my parents in Whitewright + 6 miles.



I feel much better and have lost 5 lbs. I still have more work to do though. The hardest part is my root beer belly. It just won't go away!!

We're getting closer...

Things are winding down and we are approaching the 2 month mark. Craziness!! Pretty soon I will be Mrs. Baker and I get to marry this guy-



(pic from Brooke and Freeland's awesome wedding!!)

Yay!! I can't wait! I have my massive checklist and still feel like I am missing something. No worries, I'm sure we will be just fine! Here is what I have left off the top of my head:

1. Get Bryan's gift-in the works.
2. Order little boys tuxes.
3. Transportation from the wedding to the hotel.
4. Make and order programs and rehearsal invitations.
5. Need my old, new, and borrowed items.
6. Finalize Music with Big B (We're doing dinner on Sunday,yay!!!)
7. Meet with Gary (Crystal the Pistol's pops) to go over ceremony details.
8. Pick up wedding bands (on Saturday) and decide on what to engrave (clueless)
9. Order engagement and bridal portraits.
10. Get all guests to RSVP!!! Uber hard!!

Please throw suggestions or tips my way!!

Bridal Portraits?

I am having my bridal portraits this Sunday. We were going to take them at the arboretum, but since it will be a scorching 100 degrees I think we would be pretty miserable!

So, I'm thinking about looking into a nice hotel in Dallas, the aquarium, or the old railroad house in Ft. Worth. Not sure what these people will charge to take pictures there though, boo!! Does anyone have any suggestions for indoor places that will allow brides to come in without paying an arm and a leg?
