Getting Ready



I was a dreary rainy day. It took three people carrying me dress to keep it dry and clean. 
Writing the final copy of my vows. 
The bathroom counter. All this is needed for four girls to get beautiful. 
Last minute spray. My aunt is a hair dresser. She offered to do my hair and I let her. She does a lot of hair for the Mrs. Arkansas pageant. 
Keri signing our marriage license. I loved having a friend marry us. 
Trying to get my dress zipped. It wasn't tight, but the material made it impossible to zip. 
And the shoes. I wore these for the ceremony and then changed into my boots. 
The finishing touch. 
I don't have many of the guys getting ready. There was a little drama that day and not everyone was able to be there together. Our officient kept checking on Kev and helping him with his tie. 
I just love this picture. The groomsmen did a wonderful job of keeping me dry and my dress clean while we waited. One of them even drove his truck over so I could sit in it while I waited. Notice my dad holding the flowers. 
He is still carrying them. He finally gave them to me at the doors.

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Winter Weather Cancels Marathon

This weekend was supposed to be the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis. I signed up back in June and reserved my hotel. However, mother nature had other plans. We had a round of bad winter weather that left roads iced over for several days, so they ended up canceling the race. I checked and luckily my hotel will refund me my money, while others are not. Now, I was going to complete this race, but had I trained for it? No. I've been way too busy the past few months to take hours out of my dad and weekend to run. I had a house to finish and move into and a wedding to plan and attend. Anyways. I'm thinking about running the Nashville one in April. We will see. On another note the winter weather had us trapped on our hill for four days, before the temperatures reached 32 and the ice could melt some. Kev and I definitely enjoyed spending some quality time together and had a blast sledding.
