So on Saturday it was 60 degrees and I wore flip flops all day and then I woke up on Sunday morning to the prettiest snow falling and wore snow boots the rest of the day. I feel like saying the weather is crazy gets really old, but this weekend it was true. Oh, winter.
This winter was a mix of downtime and working. Friday night Chris and I saw 13 Hours in the theater. Such a powerful movie that I think everyone should see. I honestly left the theater a bit angry over that 2012 Benghazi situation, but loved the movie. If you haven't seen it, go! Just know it's almost 3 hours long and about 90% off it is super intense.
I spent Saturday with my future sister-in-law. We did a barre class together and then spent the afternoon shopping and eating lunch. Such a fun day with her. I then went home to Chris and proceed to watch football for the rest of the evening and I cooked dinner! For those of you that know me really well, I don't really cook. I'm more of a stick a frozen lasagna in the oven kind of girl and then say for the rest of the night "I'm such a great cook!" Hah. But this weekend, I really did! In the midst of football watching and dog playing I made delicious chicken marinated with teriyaki garlic sauce, salad, and sweet potato fries (which were from a bag, but who cares!) I was so proud of myself haha! I felt like Tom Hanks in Castaway when he made fire. Totally legit.
On Sunday like I said, it was snowing. So magical! I snuck out to Starbies to get some much needed work done for some upcoming weddings in the morning and then had a meeting with my April full planning bride about all the logistics of her upcoming big day. (I can't wait to introduce you!) Sunday evening I made another delicious meal! 2 times in one week, what! It's a form of stuffed shells and the really the only recipe I know how to make. Like I said, this girl doesn't cook. This recipe is so so good and I especially love it this time of year. Such great comfort food! I think I'll post the recipe sometime next week!
last week was a good one, but I'm starting to realize that the off season isn't quite as off as I thought and because of that I fell behind on blogging. Life happens I guess, but today is a new day (and week!) and I feel as though I am better prepared for the busy. Hooray! Something new I'm starting is to share weekly goals instead of my big monthly goal posts. I'm a short term goal person and for this girl, I feel as though week;y goals might be better and more attainable. I know I can't be the only one.
So my weekly goals...
1. Have a succesful venue walkthrough today with a lovely June bride.
2. Caroline is back this week after being gone for the holidays and I would love to nail down a schedule and to-do list with her for the next 2 months.
3. Update Trello
4. Schedule 2 venue walk through with 2 May brides.
5. Continue to work on my new look book for new clients.
6. Start finding vendors to sponsor the Floral Gathering Round 2
7. Start working on the Floral Gathering Details.
8. Start working on a special lunch the Floral Gathering is Sponsoring in March.
Personal Goals
1. Plan an awesome date night for Chris and I on Wednesday. Ever since we started dating we've had a weekly date night that we usually never miss, but last week he was in DC Monday-Friday and we didn't really have a date night (the movie on Friday was with a group) So this week we're making up for it!
2. Workout for a least one hour 5 days this week
3. Drink 90 ounces of water per day.
4. Finish 2 collage frames.
5. Order prints from our Ireland trip
6. Put on a sweet baby shower this Sunday for Amy of Sincerely Amy Designs.
7. Clean out the pantry and fridge. (who knows what is in there y'all!)
8. Schedule a trip down to NC to see my best friend Bree. It was supposed to be this past weekend, but with bride meetings popping up, I couldn't make it happen. Darn!
Have a wonderful week sweet friends!
