Before I get to Sasha's shower lets first talk about the life changing experience I had Saturday morning. A little thing called the Ogden Marathon. Okay it's not so little since there were 2,402 people that ran it!! And that's not including the 5k or the half marathon. So it's safe to say that yeah, the Ogden Marathon... kind of a big deal! But I did it. I survived. And I have to say that I am really really really proud of myself. I would have never ever in a million years thought that I would run a marathon! It really was a life changing experience for me. Of course during it I kept thinking to myself that this was the worst thing I have ever done but once I got to the end and saw my family cheering me on at the finish line and seeing how proud they were of me, it made it all worth it. I ran it in 4 hours and 4 minutes which I am totally fine with for my first time! Now that I am fully recovered and can walk again, what next?? The good old Morgan Marathon! Yep, going to my hometown for this one! I am so excited for it and am ready to start training! :)
As for Sasha's Bridal shower lets just say, I did my best. You see, her shower was the SAME day as the marathon so I was beat! It still turned out cute! We stuck with her wedding colors--- bright pink, lime green, and caribbean blue. The table was bright and summery. We kept the food simple with pasta salad, veggies, rolls, and yummy key lime bars. The fun little candy bar in the back made for some good snacking during the shower (my favorite are the cute chevron bags for the candy!)
Do you ever feel like you have no life and then you stop and think about everything going on in your life and all the things you have to do and soon realize you are one very busy, always on the go person??! Well that is how I have felt as of late. My motto is enjoy the simple things and I believe following that makes for one happy life. I love keeping myself busy with projects whether it's for me or someone else. So here are a few things I have been working on lately.
First thing: I made another message board! These are fabulous gifts and are sooo easy to make. I made this one for my cousin for her b-day and I love how it turned out!

Second thing: I have been helping my mom plan a wedding shower for my beautiful cousin Sasha. I am so excited for it! We have some really cute ideas! Here are the invites I made for it.
Third thing: Running. I have been running... a lot! Me and my cousin are running the Ogden Marathon. Yikes! I can't believe it's almost here! I am very very nervous for it. I am also so excited I can hardly handle it!!! We have been training so hard and I know it will all be worth it once we cross that finish line!
