*NWR* The Weekend

*NWR* = Not Wedding Related
 
 
This weekend was a lot of fun! However as the title explains it is not wedding related. Josh and I had signed up for a 5K obstacle race back in November. This past weekend was the day! It was called  Run for your Lives . It was a zombie infested 5K and obstacle course. It was A LOT of fun! I never thought I would enjoy this. We I should have trained more for this. I walked/speed walked a lot of it and ran through the zombie patches, when I had my flags. The obstacles were the most fun! I would do a 5K of just obstacles the whole way! We both were and still are sore for the untrained running, but we cant wait to do it again! We also have a few battle scars. As part of the course you had to crawl through a mud/sand pit with water....and rocks.... my knees are a little beat up, but its just part of the story. Josh had all 3 of his flags and was bobbing and weaving from the zombies hit a water spot and went down, he's got some scratches on his shoulder from that. Below are some pictures of us after the race.
 
You can tell how muddy and grimy it was by the way we look, but SMILES :)

We got cleaned up and a had a picture with the banner

They gave us beer when we crossed the finish line!
 
See the partial shirt I'm wearing in that last one? That is the next race we are going to prepare for. This Run for Your Lives was in Hialeah, Miami. Armageddon Ambush is what my shirt is promoting, and we are going to try for that one in Davie, the date is TBD.
 
 
Sunday was a great day as well. The weather was perfect!!! So we took advantage and took a small picnic to the park with the dog, kites, and Frisbee.

Look at those beautiful blue skies and the kite extraordinaire and helper Whiskey.
 
Josh had gotten us kites for Easter. Mine is the angry pig green on and Josh of course had Star Wars, Yoda.
 
 
 
Not that I am going to divulge into some wedding stuff, I will just say there is a lot of wedding things going on this week and those updates will be up later. :)

11 Months to go

I missed the 1-year mark post, and I was very upset that I did. So we are going to try and do this monthly.

11 Months until we are married!!!

What has been done:
  • booked the reception venue
  • have a date set
  • found our cake toppers
  • have a color scheme
  • had our engagement party
  • I picked my bridesmaids
  • tried on dresses

We have a few other small things in place or in mind that just need to be implemented. We have a Brides for Cancer event to go to this Friday, and Wedding Expo April 21.
Things are coming together!!! And I can not stress enough how much my girls have helped me!! I love each of them for their own special needs for me. :)
