Checking things off

Posted on January 8, 2012. Filed under: Daily Food, Wedding |

This weekend I finally found my wedding dress!!!!  Too bad I can’t share it with you all, but just know it’s a-ma-zing

Friday I took mom out to lunch at our favorite sushi place: Blue C Sushi!

Mom

Friday evening, Mom and I met up with Steff to try on wedding dresses at Nordstrom.  It was fun, but none of the dresses I tried were really show-stoppers.  I was looking for something that would say: ‘hello, i’m the bride!’ :)

We left empty-handed, but it was a great starting point, and left me feeling more sure about the style of dress that I wanted.  I spent Friday night at Steff and Joe’s, and ate some pea soup that I made a few nights ago!

Saturday we had a 10am appointment to try on more wedding dresses.  There were a few we liked, and then there was one…

that we BOUGHT!

We’re all in love with it, and it’s exactly the style I’ve been looking for.  :)

We were famished after all the trying on of dresses (Steff tried on bridesmaid dresses and mom got her Mother-of-the-Bride dress!), so we stopped by Chipotle for an early lunch.

my cute Mom!

and Steff

Mom and I left Steff to run errands, and we drove to Tacoma to go visit my grandma.  My grandma recently fell and injured herself (nothing too serious, just a bruise) so my mom wanted to stop by and make sure she was recovering well.  We took her out for lunch!

Obviously I couldn’t eat anything since I had just stuffed my face eaten lunch…

Best dinner before a long run the next morning?

Indian food…

Yum.

Sunday morning I was up around 7:30 to eat breakfast and have enough time to digest before our 13+ mile run.

Um, it was cold this morning.  Seriously cold. I wore capris with 2 long-sleeve shirts AND a North Face light jacket and was still cold at certain points!

The first 6+ miles of the run were pretty warm, then we ran down a super long and steep hill and the temperature dropped.  It stayed pretty cold until mile 11, then things started to warm up, and the sun came out!

13.2 miles = 1:57

Not bad considering this week’s workouts have been blah…

Steff and I went out to Chipotle (again) for lunch :)

Can’t get enough of those chips!  They have an amazing combo of lemon/lime juice and sea salt…best paired with guacamole.

We had a few errands to run in the afternoon, so I managed to pick up a few last minute things before I leave to head back to China on Wednesday!

I also picked out colors for the wedding…

Navy blue and daffodil/golden yellow.

Another thing checked off the wedding to-do list :)
