Impromtu visit to Wenatchee to visit Lacey went great. Much better than I had expected, since I'm not so great with the wedding stuff. It was busy, I slept a couple hours then hopped in the car to make it over there by six. Snuck in a visit with my parents and I got to see my baby niece too! She is absolutely adorable if I do say so myself.. I miss her. But I can't think about that because it just makes me sad. I got lots of pictures. (To be posted later!)
Wedding stuff:
We accomplished a lot. Made a list (checked it a few times), talked a bunch, hot tub city!, worked out a little ( enter horrid run stage left...), came up with DIY decor projects, explored random stores for centerpiece ideas, had an amazing lunch at Mcglinn's-- BBQ chicken thin crust pizza and a strawberry spinach salad to share, figured out the Groomsmen attire, laid out some plans with the grandparents for her photo wall idea, and last but oh-my-goodness- definitely not least.... Registered at Macys & Bed bath & beyond. hallelujah! It feels amazing to be productive. Altho for me its a little depressing because it feels like I will never be able to get married. Its way too expensive. Yuck. Not that I even want an expensive fancy schmancy wedding.. but all the little extras are the fun/cute part...and just the place, feeding people, music, flowers, and photography are already through the roof without even considering the little details. Hello eloping? :-P except I dont want that either.
On Friday, The morning after I arrived to the valley that seems to suck me in and spit me out.. maybe its a little like a vacuum cleaner? Sucks you in with its nice weather and friendly places but somehow always seems to spit you out and leave you feeling crazy anxious and like you stepped backward into a time machine and you are your old annoying self with things you thought you left behind YEARs ago. Whatevs.
it was a nice day, I felt fairly energetic..lacey and Tina headed to the gym and I headed off on my own trek to run eight miles. What can I say, I had high hopes. Well they were shot down. Big time. 1st mile I told myself I just had to get through and I would get into a rhythm, guesss what the Rhythm never showed up. 3rd mile I was like okay this is getting better... who am I kidding??? Okay lets add in a hill.....hAH my calves were burrrrning. 5 more to go, I can do this riight? WRONG. Lets throw some heart burn in there, and oh yeah the air feels sooo thick...just keeeep breathing. I did 6.1 or something, and showed up at the gym juuust as lacey and tina were heading out to the park where I was supposed to meet them... that was really the only good thing about the run. That I caught them before I had to run even FURTHER. Haha. Its laughable now, at the time..not so much.
I jumped in the car beside Kailey and she's all.. Ashy You, run real fast?! You run real fast??
