Want to know the best feeling ever? When you are scheduled to work for 12 hours then get off work three hours early! Can I get an amen hallelujah for that?!
What doesn't feel so great is when you can feel your coffee wearing off and you are nowhere close to done for the day.
When I realized I was getting off work early I briefly thought about going for a run, then the skies opened up yet again (do they not know it is supposed to be the dry season here in Florida?!) so I quickly nixed that idea!
That said, I did manage to get over 10,000 steps in today at work! We are setting up a giant tent for a sale this weekend so there was a lot of walking around all day today. My schedule doesn't really free up until next Friday, so I am buckling down and doing all I can to stay healthy through the craziness!
For now, it is time to curl up on the couch with a well earned beer and watch Harry Potter until bed time!
Hope you had a great day!!

Wedding Planning Wednesday Update
Alrighty, so it has been a while since I did one of these posts...and I just have a lot on my mind that I wanted to share!
To start with, our wedding is just over a month away! How crazy is that? It's insane to think that we have been engaged for well over a year now. I have no idea how people can plan a wedding on short timelines. I am impressed with their mad skills.
The best decision I have made regarding wedding planning since my last wedding related blog post (or really the best decision in the whole process) was to hire a Day of Coordinator. If you are getting married in the Orlando area, contact Rebekkah at Runway Events. Even though she is technically just our Day Of Coordinator, she has gone above and beyond to provide recommendations for all the vendors I have not booked yet and from the very first consultation I had with her she made me feel like this whole thing was going to work out just fine.
On the downside of things, I am still waiting to hear from one bridesmaid about whether or not she will actually be attending the wedding. So that is fun.
On the other downside, the friend who was going to be our officiant let me know yesterday that she wasn't going to be able to make it due to a lot of scheduling conflicts, so I am now scrambling to find a new officiant with only a little over a month to go...and my wedding is at one of the busiest times of the year. Luckily I really have the very best DOC so I at least had an idea of where to start!
Back to the upside of things, next week is going to be a ton of fun. I have an appointment for my hair and makeup trial (in the morning before work so I am going to look fabulous for my shift haha) on Wednesday then our venue visit back out to Birdsong Barn with Rebekkah to make a solid plan for how things will go on the wedding day!
It is finally starting to feel just a little more real!
Question: If you are married, did you use an officiant that you did not personally know? I am freaking out a little so tell me happy stories ;)

Hello February!
Does anyone else feel like January went by way too fast? I still have some Christmas lights up in my dining room...oops. But the tree is gone so that counts for something right?!
Since it is the beginning of a new month, I want to take a look back at how I did on my goals for last month. Spoiler alert: not great.
-I did yoga about half the days of the month, so not a terrible start but I want to do better this month.
-I ran maybe 20 miles total for the month. It was bad. I need to work on scheduling better if I am going to hit my 100 mile/month goal this month!
-I shared photos almost every day though I need to get better about adding them to my Facebook album.
-As for my goal of 5 blog posts per week...well if you follow along here you know that was a total bust in January.
So overall I pretty much flopped on my goals in January which makes me like pretty much everyone else out there I suppose. The good thing is that I feel like I set goals that I can easily refocus on at the beginning of each month. Here is hoping I do way better in February!
Luckily I had a pretty productive weekend and I have today off as well (leading up to a VERY busy week at work) so I am tackling some of the big projects that can't wait. AKA wedding invitations are finally sent and thank you cards from our wedding shower are in the works ;)
I also got this wreath done...it's hanging on our door at the moment but it is actually part of our wedding decor.
I love when I can get things done and have the instant gratification of getting to use something immediately. Here's hoping nobody decides to "borrow" it off our door!
My big goal for today is to finish Thank You cards...and when I need a break I can take some time for yoga, a run, and scheduling some blog posts! Helloooo doing better on my goals already!
Did you set goals for 2016? How did you do in January?
