My Best Friend's Wedding

Friday, July 20, 2012

Last November my best friend got engaged to her boyfriend of six years and she asked me to be her Maid of Honor. Their months of planning finally came down to the wedding day on Saturday. Throughout the entire day she was so calm and collected; I was more nervous than she was!
When it came to the reception, I started getting very nervous for my Maid of Honor speech. There was a slight glitch in the schedule, so I had about 10 minutes to prepare. Mind you, I was speaking in front of a crowd of nearly 260 people. Needless to say, I had a little bit of liquid courage to get me going. But the speech went surprisingly well! (I tend to talk really fast, andslurmywordstogether, but I did alright!)
Afterwards I got so many compliments! The brides dad even told me it brought a tear to his eye.

It's funny, the story that Chelsea and I have. When were about 5 years old, our families lived down the block from one another. Eventually, both of our parents decided to move and build houses north of Topeka. We both knew we were moving, but didn't know where. When my parents bought land there was a family building a house right across the street. My dad walked over to introduce himself to the new neighbors and, wouldn't ya know, it was Chelsea's family. We've been best friends ever since! 
Anyway, she looked beautiful and I hope she enjoyed the day as much as I did! 

The Color Run

Fallon and I ran in The Color Run 5k in Kansas City this weekend and it was a blast! We ran around Arrowhead Stadium and got sprayed with color every 1 kilometer.

Afterwards, the runners gather to throw all the color into the air...



Cesar didn't even want to give me a celebratory hug... but it was worth it!
