My Weekend!

First of all, I was able to lose 2.2 pounds this week - I was a happy, happy girl at weigh in yesterday morning! I was disappointed that I had zero time to work out last week, so knowing my change in portion sizes paid off was a nice affirmation.

This week was tough at work, and a co-worker treated me to an "I Value You" latte Friday morning. I will miss my office so much when we move to Tennessee!

I left after weigh in for Richmond, where I tried on and ordered my bridesmaids dress for a friend's wedding this summer - I'm so excited for my bridesmaids to get to town next month so we can pick out mine!

I met up with my cousin and Aunt, and we went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. The one in Richmond is the closest to me, and it's my favorite guilty pleasure place.

We all ordered different cheesecakes so we could try each others. I ordered the Lemon Raspberry (I love anything lemon), my cousin got the Chocolate Raspberry, and my aunt got the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. We saved them for that night though :)

Then we did a little shopping, and I bought table runners for the wedding!

We found them at Hobby Lobby. They are pre-treated to resist stains, and I was worried they would feel cheap, but the fabric feels great - it has almost a canvas-y texture. They are rectangle, 60x104 in. and we'll cut them into thirds lengthwise. So, each table cloth will give me three 20x104 in. runners. (Approximately.) They were part of Hobby Lobby's spring time inventory, so they were 30% off, making them $24.50 apiece. So, I got my table runners for approximately $8.17 each! I am beyond thrilled! I haven't settled on a specific table-scape yet for centerpieces and what not, but I can just imagine these with some milk glass vases and jars with hydrangeas sticking out -- only 194 days until the wedding!

Finally, because the cable is out out here in the boonies, we played board games all night. We picked up some Crispin in the way home, ate our cheesecake, and enjoyed each others company :)

Don't forget, I'd love for you to follow me in Instagram -- my username is cgump. I also made a Vine account this weekend, although I haven't quite produced a video yet. My username there is ceg10, I believe :)

Weekend Recap

My oh my - it has been a crazy couple of days!

On Friday, we helped at the church with Parents Night Out - a fundraiser we hold annually to raise money for our mission trip to ASP. However, I had a migraine and ended up coming home much earlier than I planned and went to b-e-d. However, Logan got home from the field earlier than expected (I had planned on 11... he called me at 7) so it was nice to talk to him a little.

I knew Logan being in the field would be hard - zero communication is never fun - but him coming home is almost worse. By the time I adjust to NOT talking to him, he's there again, and hearing his voice can just be so overwhelming sometimes - I just love him so much :)

Saturday I weighed in - down a little bit this week, 17 to go to get to my goal weight! We ran lots of errands - did some shopping at J Crew - and had a lazy afternoon. We got up eventually and got ready for our fun filled night - dinner with the parents for my birthday and Bonnie's company Christmas party!

My outfit included:

These J Crew Etta Patent Pumps in Crimson Maple 

A black turtleneck, and a gold lame skirt - all three items for $98 including tax! I was a happy girl.

We went to dinner at Jimmys on the James then to Scott Insurance's party at Tresca on 8th.  My parents got me some Little Mermaid swag - it's a tradition and the last real year we'll be together ON my birthday for sure, a Gladiola Girls gift certificate, and we had a great time.

Sunday was more low key - church and I got to revel in all of my birthday attention - and took a very long nap. :) Then we met a hodge podge of my friends at Rivermont Pizza to celebrate. A great weekend for sure.

I'm off all week and I was so proud of my productivity today. I caught up on paperwork at the apartment, ran errands, worked out - I'm very proud of myself.

Now to spend all night researching realtors in Clarksville, TN!
