I decided to break up two posts, one for yesterday and one for the marathon today so don’t worry, the spectator recap will come either tonight or first thing tomorrow!

So yesterday was a crazy day!

I had a hard time getting started with my day since I had so much on the schedule and had to definitely change plans or else I was going to be super stressed!

I had to say no to the blogger luncheon since I wouldn’t have been able to stay for long at all if I had gone! My mom was going to be in town and I was going to see her in Tampa but since the roads were going to be icy(crazy) she didn’t want us driving on slick roads. I chose to see her for just a little and we decided not to head to Tampa! Phew!

I walked to the gym in the sleet to run four miles, which quickly turned into 2.25 miles due to legs feeling sore, and time. It was better then nothing to me.

Then, I had lunch with my mom, my step-dad Dave and their friends. Ironically enough, we ended up at the same place as the blogger luncheon was but a different location!

We met at the Peach Valley Cafe’ in Heathrow which is North of Orlando.

It was a very quick lunch but still great to see my mom and Dave!

I ordered the veggie wrap and a side of fruit.

The spinach wrap was filled with more spinach, marinated portobello mushrooms, sprouts, avocado, tomatoes, carrots and a sun-dried tomato spread.

It was a little bland, I added a little salt and pepper to the top of both wrap until I reached the sun-dried tomato spread which added a nice saltiness to the wrap.

I ate everything but the coleslaw, I am not a big coleslaw fan!

I rushed home to quickly put my dress on and then headed to the wedding early to help hand out programs. It was so fun to see friends I haven’t seen in a while and to watch two amazing friends of ours get married.

Amanda is a really good friend of mine who was also my bible study leader all four years of my college career. She is such an amazing person and Keith is an incredible guy, he and my husband were actually roommates. She was even my bridesmaid and he was one of our groomsman. Today was their day!

After the ceremony we drove to the reception, it was a beautiful set-up!

Dinner started with a salad and ranch dressing.

I was so excited to see brown bread! But it was rye and not the honey wheat at Outback, still good! I ate half of this roll.

Dinner was squash, roasted potatoes, broccoli and chicken in a white gravy.

Then..dancing ensued!

For the father-daughter dance they started with a very emotional, slow song and then it turned into “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” that her whole family joined them for. I was told when she was little, Amanda and her family would dance to this song. It was so sweet that they danced to it on their wedding day!

Once the cake was cute we were served! They actually only had one real layer of cake on their actual wedding cake and that went to the bridal party. This chocolate cake was SO GOOD!! Super rich and decadent, I even left a few bites!

It was such a beautiful wedding, and I had the best time celebrating with Adam and my closest friends.

Another funny story is that Amanda has ALWAYS wanted it to snow in Florida, she had literally prayed for it her whole life. At church, her prayer request would be for snow. It snowed on her wedding day! How amazing is that? Sure it was at 4 a.m., but it definitely snowed! Too bad it meant for FREEZING picture taking.

Congratulations Keith and Amanda!!

The reception went until about 10 and we headed to a friends house and hung out there for another couple of hours, a lot of our friends are heading back home or back to Italy(missions work) so we soaked up as much time as we could with them! That just meant I wasn’t getting much sleep before waking up for the marathon! But it was still worth it.

I will recap our day at the Disney marathon tomorrow morning, I am BEAT!
