Weekend Recap

This weekend was busy, successful and fun!  

Friday, John and I went over to Cocoa Beach to spend some time with my parents.  We went to my favorite restaurant...TACO CITY!!!  Yum!  

We also had wedding missions while over on that side of the state, so Saturday, my mom and I went to meet with the florist.  You remember here when I mentioned our little florist debacle.  Well, we ended up meeting with the less expensive one to see what she could do with the pictures I had.  She did raise her price a little to meet exactly what I wanted, but she is still far less expensive than the other florist.  She's been doing this for 20+ years and explained exactly how she would put things together, so now I feel much better going with her.  Plus, the other florist was too busy to meet with us.  Deposit down.  Florist: CHECK!  Yay! 

 

I also stopped by to pick up more samples of cake.  This weekend, we tried lemon and red velvet.  The lemon was awesome and would be pretty as a wedding cake.  I have ordered chocolate peanut butter, almond, and cookies and cream that I am picking up this week to sample.  Then, the cake will be picked as well!  All we have left is to finalize the caterer, linens and invitations!  I'm so excited almost everything is done!!

Saturday night, I went over to my friends A & J's house to watch the Florida game and enjoy a Mexican Fiesta!  The food and company were awesome.  The game.  Not so much.  Gators...you gotta pull yourselves together!  Ahh!  Hopefully this bye-week does us some good and we're ready for Georgia in Jacksonville in two weeks.  On a happy note: Ohio State and Nebraska lost!  They shouldn't have been in the top 5 anyway in my lowly opinion. :-)

Sunday, we went for a training run.  We did 7 miles and it went awesome.  I think our training gets better every week, as does our pace!  Only 4 weeks left until the race...I'm pumped!  

For lunch, we went to this little Italian restaurant down the street.  It's a neat place with outdoor seating and a live band Friday and Saturday nights.  It's always good, but this time, I tried the Alfredo sauce and penne pasta and it was the best I've ever had.  No exaggeration.  The rest of the day was spend doing some things around the house and watching A History of Violence.  I'd always wanted to see that movie, but never had.  It was good, but a little violent.  I had a nightmare last night about the guy with one eye...ha.  That's what I get for watching something like that before bed!

Good weekend all-in-all.  I hate when they end.  Happy Monday!
