Half Marathon
The Geist Half Marathon went great!! I ran the entire race without a problem. I crossed the finish line at 2 hours 6 minutes and 42 seconds!! I had so much fun running this race I am planning on signing up for another one that is taking place in Indy on October 17th. So hopefully I will continue to get faster and faster. But with this being my first time I am pretty proud of myself.

Wedding Planning
This has been a crazy week. On Wednesday we had the tasting at the Conrad. The food was absolutely amazing! Deciding what we want to serve as the main course is going to be a difficult decision that is for sure. We also got to see several samples of table linens and chair covers. All of those looked great. Making these last few decision is going to be difficult.
We got our engagement pictures taken on Thursday. We shoot for about 8 hours so I am sure we will have plenty of good pictures. We took pictures in a field, in a 100 year old house that was collapsing, at Verizon Wireless Music Center on stage, and at our house. I can't wait too see how all of these pictures turned out.
This weekend is the big 13.1 mile race. I am keeping my finger crosses that this bad weather holds off on Saturday morning. As long as it isn't thundering and lighting the race will still take place. I am getting extremely nervous....yikes.

Fun Weekend!
Sean and I had an extremely busy and fun weekend! On Friday night we went over to Lindsey and Andy Myers house for dinner and to hangout. Kristin and Sam joined us for dinner. It was really fun getting to see everyone! I had a great time and can't to see them again sometime in the near future!
On Saturday we had brunch with Sean's mom for mothers day. Then I headed to Muncie to celebrate Mary's graduation from grad school. Congrats Mary!!! Sean hung out with Rowdy and some friends in his band. They rocked out and then just hang out.
Sunday we spend time with my mom and Sean's step mom Lisa. So needless to say I am extremely tired today but it was worth it!
This week is going to be crazy with all the fun wedding planning stuff we have planned. On Wednesday we have the Conrad tasting and a meeting with the florist and on Thursday we have engagement pictures. Let hope the weather is nice on Thursday since this is our second attempt to get our pictures taken. There is a chance of rain but I am just going to keep my fingers crosses that the weather cast is wrong.
This weekend is the Geist mini marathon. I am starting to get extremely nervous. I have never ran a 13.1 mile race before so I really don't know what to expect. My goal for this race is to run the entire thing so we will see if I can make it. I am not really worried about my time since it is my first one. I have been training since January so hopefully I am prepared. I will let you know how I do.

Melvin
Well it has been a while since I last posted on here. Last week was a little on the crazy side. I was in Vegas for the ETA Conference for work on Tuesday-Thursday and then this weekend Melvin was attacked by a dog so I played nurse all weekend.
About Melvin's attack:
Sean and I were out walking Melvin on Saturday afternoon since it was so nice out. Some lady came walking by with her dog and let it approach Melvin. The other dog attacked Melvin as soon as he got close he and began biting his ear and neck. I kept trying to pull Melvin back but the other dog was on a retractable leash so every time I would pull on Melvin the dog would get closer. Sean ended up having to hit the other dog to get him to let go of Melvin.
We thought Melvin was okay so we tried to continue on our walk, but needless to say Melvin was not having it. So we took him home and later realized Melvin had a hole in his neck where the other dog had bit him. We immediately took Melvin to the closest emergency vet. The vet shaved the area, cleaned out the wound, placed a couple staples on his neck, gave him pain medicines, and gave him an antibiotic to hopefully prevent infection.
Melvin is doing fine he is just extremely tired and doesn't have much energy. He will have staples in for the next 10 to 14 days so lets just hope he can leave them alone that long.
I will keep you posted on his status.
Here are pictures of Melvin injury:

Invitations are here!!
Things are really starting to fall into place for Sean and I's wedding! I was starting to think the wedding was never going to get here but now that the planning is picking up again I am getting more and more anxious for the big day! This week we have got so much done and I love it. My goal is to get as much done now as possible so closer to the wedding we can relax and enjoy ourselves.
Here is a list of a few things we got done this week so far:
1. The wedding invitations are here and we can pick them up sometime next week. I can not wait to see them with our information on them. The lady we ordered them from is in the process of addressing all of them for us. So that will save us a lot of time.
2. Our engagement pictures are scheduled. We are getting them done around the downtown Indianapolis area on Friday May 1st. So please keep your fingers crossed we have nice weather.
3. Our wedding bands are in the process of being made. They ended up having to keep my engagement ring for two weeks so the wedding band can match perfectly. I can't not wait until the two weeks are up because my hand feels naked without my ring.
4. We received a letter from the Conrad this week letting us know that it is time to schedule the tasting. So we are hoping to get that scheduled for sometime in late May or early June.
We have tons of meetings and exciting things planned these next couple of weeks/months to prepare for our big day!
