A Casual Summer in Pink

Happy Saturday everyone,
Life has been a hectic mix of excitement, change, and frenzied planning lately. This past week I met up with several close friends to catch up over various coffees, lunches, and dinners. It's so good to see all of their faces and to hear their stories after missing them for more than a month! Just yesterday, I had a delicious lunch at Kingyo Izakaya in downtown Vancouver with my brother and sister-in-law before heading to Front & Company on Main Street to spend the rest of the $100 gift certificate that I won from a previous blog contest. During lunch, my lovely sister-in-law revealed just in clueless I was about wedding planning by showing me all of the wedding sites research she had already done for me. Now, however, I feel much more prepared thanks to her careful and thorough advice on the matters of venue, decor, dresses, accessories, dates, and many other relevant topics. As the details pour in, I feel myself becoming increasingly excited as I start to envision my future wedding with a clearer vision.

In other news, I've started working out with weights again thanks to a very fit and motivating friend of mine! We started out with a routine of deadlifts, weighted squats, bent over rows, bench press, and other assorted moves. While I'm sadly out of shape after such a long vacation, I'm so excited to be moving back onto the fit and healthy path. In fact, the next day I was so sore from the workout that I could barely kneel down or get out of cars without some degree of discomfort. Let's hope I can keep this up!
