38 days Fitness Plan

Happy Hump day loves! It is crazy town in these parts. One of my best friends is getting married this weekend to kick off the summer of weddings and I could not be more excited. We are getting married in 6 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In between this busy schedule I have got to make more time to get my fitness on. T

he Beard-Johnston household has been living off take-out and drive through this whole week and I have got to put my foot down. Priority number 1 is to make time for the gym ( even if this means before work.... enter groan here) and to make time for home cooked dinner. I have also got to add more toning (classes like pure barre) to my cardio. Any suggestions to add? Here is my motivation!

Royals with wands makes my Monday!

This should make you as happy as it makes me!

50 DAYS Megapost

Happy Friday darlings! As I type this post on my friday off I am sipping my coffee, watching the Today show, and listening to it rain outside. I could not be more content in this little morning slice of heaven. No running out the door, no wedding stress.... a little relaxation goes a long way. 

Having the past two days off I have managed to recharge my batteries and get ready for the next 50 days until our Wedding is finally here. After today this train is full steam ahead until we are laying on a beach at our honeymoon. 50 days y'all! I can't believe it is almost here but I am sooo ready for it to be. A little update to our life lately!

Had my hair darkened in March and have since decided that I hate it so I will be making a hair appointment soon

Got this Handsome guy all fitted for his tuxedo!!! 

 So enjoyed our first engagement party in my hometown!

 Went to a dear family friends wedding my hometown and it was gorgeous!!

Wedding Wednesday: Checklist Part III

Happy Hump Day Blog World! I haven't done a wedding update since this post in February. Between my wedding and three of my besties getting married all in the next upcoming three months things are crazy around here but a good crazy. I get to see all my friends more than I have in years and celebrate this special time with them. That doesn't mean that from time to time I don't feel like my head is doing a slight exorcist spin. Here is what we have accomplished so far and I do feel like even when I get one thing checked off five more replace it.
