Thank goodness for DVR, because there’s no way this non-morning person was going to get up at 3am. No. Way.

This post will be short, I’ve got so much to do today. But in honor of all this royal wedding buzz, I thought I’d share another royal wedding photo with you…

Hope you like it & have a fab weekend!!

Did you watch the Royal Wedding? (I haven’t yet…)

I love Friday’s (it’s Zumba day!). I also really love when they get here quickly. Did this week fly by for you too? Or was I just lucky?

Tomorrow I have my first 5K of 2011. Pretty psyched about it. Little on the nervous side. You always want to do better than your previous race. We’ll see how this one goes. I haven’t been as dedicated to running as I want to be. But I think some running, is better than not running. So looking on the bright side. Woo! Go Team!

This coming Monday is our 2 year Wedding Anniversary

Time flies when you’re having fun.

And that we are. I love being married to this man. He is a wonderful person inside and out. My life so perfect, living it with him.

I loved our Wedding…

It was beautiful and so many things went wrong. Oh ya know… cake falling… among other things…

But none of that mattered.

This mattered…

Our lives as one had begun. That’s what made it perfect.

These past two years, I can honestly say have been the best two years of my life. Sure, it has always been bliss. Learning how to be a wife isn’t for the weak of heart but its so rewarding. Marrying the one person meant solely for you makes your world a much richer place. I love our life together. I appreciate how he loves me, and I’m honored to be his wife.

Happy 2 years baby! Here’s to a lifetime of many more!!

So another thing that I really loved about our Wedding… is well… MY DRESS!

*swoon*

I’m thinking I should try that baby on again. ya know, just cause

Do you love your wedding dress too? Send me a picture (Lauren@TeamGiles.com) of it and I’ll post them for a fun “I Heart My Dress” post.

Have a great weekend my friends!!

My Husband is a genius! He brought home his sim card reader and I not officially have photos uploaded! WOO HOO! Problem solved. In case you have no idea what I’m talking about. Go here.

So lets weekend recap it…

Saturday morning, bright and early, we’re talking 4:45AM, hubs and I head out to the Monster Mash 5K…

It was so cold! So I threw together a “costume”…

I was a “Tree Hugger”

It was so cold that morning and cold-front just came in and the air felt so thin, while running it felt like my throat was closing up. Awful. By the middle of mile 2 the random cold throat thing went away. I brought my camera with in my SPIbelt

After this huge loop we were coming up to the finish line… hubs and I were in a friendly competition to see who could beat each other… since he’s faster than I am, I was determined to win this one (he’s beat me on all the other races we’ve done together), we saw the finish line and started sprinting towards it, I was giving it all I got. and WOO HOO! I WON! I beat Hubs by ONE second. Can you believe it? So nice, so nice.

After race…

fuel…

Afterward we went home, and took an hour nap before headed out to Carters Country. Hubs wanted to go…

Oh yes, we’re in Texas. (sheesh)

Hubs was skeet shooting.. and I looked like a space cadet…

That evening we went to my sister’s house for Halloween festivities…

The kiddos

Balloon Boy & Bonnie

and a lion, who was so over it.

Good times had by all.

In other news, last-last weekend Hubs and I went to take “After-session” wedding photos with our photographer, here’s a few she sent me:

Whatcha think? I love them all

I had this thought and posted it on twitter {because thats what you do with twitter, you randomly think and post it}… “Wondering what would it be like if I never blogged again?”  Hmm… all you bloggers, have you ever thought that?

I love Blogging.

It’s true. I really enjoy blogging. I have had quite a few new readers stop by and I thought it’d be a great chance to introduce myself and tell you why I love to blog.

As of present day, I’m a 26 year old newlywed. Married to the perfect man for me. My husband is truly a blessing, and we do make a great Team.

When I first started Blogging, it was to tell all my friends and family about our upcoming wedding. It was a great way for me to find ideas, share ideas, give details, talk parties, and rant about the silly things and talk about being a soon-to-be Mrs.

I loved it, I met so many great Brides-to-be, and found many great ideas about planning a wedding and making it your own. I also would talk about health and exercise, something I’ve always had a passion for, but with the thought of wearing a fancy white dress, the motivation was EVEN more high.

After our wedding and honeymoon, and finally settling into newlyed blissness, my focus for being healthy and fit have never left.

With blogging I can share my journey of getting fit and staying healthy, I meet people that desire the same, get tips and encouragement through the blogging world and find that writing down my thoughts, goals, wants, and achievements is motivating and keeps me accountable.

Not everyone “gets” blogging. But… not everyones tried it either.

I love to write. I’m not the best writer. But I write from my heart, and that’s good enough for me.

Welcome to my blogging world. I hope you visit often. Leave a comment, because I always love to hear from you {and if you have a blog, I love to visit}.

So tell me, what do you love? What do you enjoy?
