SEE you at the wedding?

Hey guys! I hate that I haven't posted in a long time, but work's kicking my butt and I've been doing a fitness bootcamp 3x a week- 6AM while training for a 10K 4x a week... and the weekends have been busy too. I miss blogging, a LOT. Last year at this time I was wandering around the Cinque Terre in Italy.... and here I am a year later with photos from London left to blog from that trip. It's my goal to get to that this week. :-)

Anyway, I read this blog post this morning from one of my favorite blogs A Practical Wedding. Here's a quote that stuck with me:

..."People keep saying things to us like, "I'll see you in two weeks, but I won't SEE you." or "You'll be too stressed to talk, but I'm excited to be there." or "I'll see you from afar, but you won't have a minute to talk," or, or, or.... and all I can think is if we don't get to hang out with people over the weekend of our wedding, if we don't have chats, if we don't have gossipy drinks, if we don't have teary hugs, and excited arm waving conversations, if we don't really SEE people, then... this is one over-priced party.

So, sanity check, my wedding graduates. I suspect that, if you put your mind to it, you will actually see people at your wedding, and actually enjoy time with them. It's like remembering your wedding... if you want to, you will..."

I think that is so great. Our guests are really important to us, and both Zach and I hope we'll get to visit with each and every one of you at our wedding!

Anyway, I've got a lot of deadlines today so I need to make this short, but I hope you all are doing well!
