Black + White

haaaaaaappy friday! 
i’ve got a couple hours of work and a few more things to pack before i get ready to head out to the burbs for my friend’s wedding! i love going to weddings and seeing every bride’s vision for their big day come true. it’s also fun for me to think about what my wedding will be like one day (ahem, Mike, are you reading this?) and get ideas from the different ceremonies and receptions that we attend. i’m looking forward to catching up with some old friends and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. 
also, i may have verbally committed to running a half marathon in like 10 weeks and i’m terrified. actually, i’m completely in denial that it’s likely happening. which, i think, is exactly the opposite of how you should act because TRAINING. it’s been a hot minute since i’ve done any type of distance run, or even been to the gym, so this will be a real treat. i’m the type of person that is motivated by goals, so knowing that i have a HALF MARATHON i’m expecting to run in 10 weeks will surely get my booty outside and runnin’. i’m also really going to work on getting Mike to join us because the more people to suffer run with, the better. more about that to come, i’m sure. 
i’ll leave you with this, because i tend to be chatty when i’m still sleepy but loading my body with caffeine. black, white, and cognac make for a real good combination, if you ask me.
