Weekenders on our own...

[brdgt]

What a perfect weekend! Instead of going out to see a movie, we decided to stay in on Friday night - which was just the right decision. We are watching Community from the library, which lends you the entire season at a time, not just single discs! Cozy and relaxing.

Saturday morning I went and got an amazing pedicure at a local spa, thanks to a gift certificate from antarcticlust. On the way back (it's conveniently just about a mile away), I saw some trash on the curb that included these signs from someone's wedding. It's the kind of detail I wouldn't bother with for our wedding, except they were free, so I grabbed them!



To top it off, when I got home my wedding dress arrived! It's perfect - just like the picture and fits great. I'll just take the waist in a little before the wedding so that it shows off my figure more. I wasn't sure about shoes until I got it (ballet flats? heels? retro?) and these will be perfect with the tea length of the gown:



Later we explored some of City Creek Canyon, which is just about a mile away from us - the road is only open to cars certain days of the year, so it's mostly cyclists and walkers. We took the trail that runs parallel to the road 3 miles up and then walked back on the road - with the ups and downs of the trail it was almost 7 miles round trip. Not difficult, but beautiful scenery, with what foliage Utah has to offer and snow in the distant mountains.





We got home and I was able to watch the Red Sox game that I had recorded. I was also cat sitting Oink this weekend, who continues to be objectively adorable.



And yesterday I went for a 5 mile run in the morning - beautifully chilly weather for running - and then we went to a bar we hadn't tried yet to watch football. We found a nice section of the bar, where they put the Patriots on one tv, the Packers on the other, and some Saints fans were watching the third. My first Bloody Mary in SLC (and they free pour - pretty rare here!) and a 9.00 buffet for me to eat ALL THE PROTEIN after my run. Came home to take a nap and relax some more.

Now. Back to work!

Ahhh!!!!!!! Those shoes are straight up killing me. And how serendipitous to find some signage on the way back from a spa treatment. Nice work.

I know right? It's totally the sort of Pinterest overload detail I would normally avoid, but... free? On the same day my dress arrives? Even Nick thought they were cool.

Those shoes are gorgeous! And Oink is such a cutie.

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with heels, but now that I see the dress I think they are just right for the length and the color will help everything pop since I won't have flowers :)

No flowers? I'm intrigued. Why that particular decision? (You know I love any break with tradition.)

Expensive and wasteful. The wedding is outside, the centerpieces are plastic dinosaurs - "I need something to do with my hands?" sounds like an awful reason to drop a couple hundred dollars on environmentally unsustainable cut flowers.

Nice! For a beautiful outside wedding with a beautiful bride who needs flowers? Also you can't terrify single women by throwing a bouquet at them.

"Also you can't terrify single women by throwing a bouquet at them." - this made me laugh so hard!

I TRY!

Hmmm... maybe I DO want to have flowers...

And being from Modcloth, it totally justifies purchasing something else as well, since the shipping would be free...

Oh, perfect shoes!
