wedding excitement and big thank you's!

ONE week from today I'm marrying my best friend. I am so excited! We have been spending the last week finishing up last minute details, getting things organized, and prepping for family and friends to start arriving tomorrow!

My mom and MOH Jessie making my rehearsal bouquet
with all of my ribbons from shower gifts!


I don't know how I would have gotten through all the stress of planning without these two ladies. They are incredible in every way!

Jess has been amazing.. always offering perfect advice, supplying wine and champagne, helping me unpack wedding gifts, and throwing/planning the best bachelorette/shower weekend ever!


Pretty sure my mom is a wedding planner extraordinaire! She has been my rock through all of the fun, sometimes staying up into the wee hours of the night sewing ring bearer pillows and searching the internet for various items.. she's amazing!


I can't believe how fast our day has come.. I remember the 1 year countdown.. now it's 7 days! Getting so excited to celebrate with all of our closest family and friends!

BIG THANK YOU'S TO MY MOM, DAD, JESS, AND AL. GET READY TO PARTY IN 7 DAYS!
WHOO-HOO!

Followed by this pyramid:

10 jumping jacks
20 squat + knee raises (following each squat, alternate raising knees towards chest, should do 10 on each leg)
30 lunges
40 wall arm toners (wall pushups: 1st set of 20 with wide set arms on wall, 2nd set of 20 arms closer together to target triceps)
50 second plank
40 bicycle crunches
30 lunges + kickbacks
20 squat + bicep curls
