Hello! Yesterday Jon and Corey got married on a beach in Boca Grande! It was the most gorgeous setting for a wedding and the timing with sunset was perfection. They had wedding photo booth which made every guest so happy! Then, by opting for a photo booth at your Birmingham wedding, you will add an element of excitement and fun to the occasion.
Once we made the decision to hire a bar for our wedding, the search began. Finding a company that met our needs was crucial.

Everything from the bride’s dress to the live wedding band to the food and the décor were beautiful and perfect for a beach wedding. Corey was gorgeous and glowing, but I only have this picture from a distance…
Since the wedding was outside I wore leaf earrings to be nature-y.
Okay, I just like them and hadn’t worn them before. (I actually have another very similar pair, I didn’t realize until I got these home.)
They were putting the finishing touches on the reception area when I got there and once the sun set it was amazing.
Congratulations to Jon and Corey!!! Marriage us a marathon not a sprint. (<- I have a full explanation for this I might go into one day, but basically when you hit the wall you can quit and start over from scratch or you can slow down, assess, pray, eat something, let people cheer for you and keep going.)
Now it’s time to check in for Pile on the Miles! It’s the last week. Are you going to hit your goal??
Pile on the Miles Day 21
Keep it up. Push yourself. This is the last week!!
I’m following along with everyone on Instagram by checking the #RERMiles tag. I love it!!
This week’s POTM Challenge is sponsored by Timex! They make awesome watches, but more importantly they make SPORTS WATCHES that can help you track your workouts, time, steps, calories and more.
Today they are giving one challenger an IRONMAN Essential 10 Mid Size watch. This girly design made me realize that even though there is so much running gear out there for women, 96% of running watches still look very masculine. I kinda love the fit and the detail on this one…
Go here to get more info or buy the IRONMAN Essential Watch.

I ran 3 miles with my husband this morning! I am now in my car waiting to go to yoga (got here way too early for once).
since my husband and I trained for two marathons together and countless halves and shorter races, we actually had this quote/reading during our wedding.
“Sprints and marathons are two distinctly different races. In a sprint, one of the most critical elements is the start. Runners practice for hours on end getting into those little blocks and bursting out the very nanosecond the gun goes off. Why? Because if you falter in the start, you don’t stand a chance of winning the race.
On the other hand, the starts of marathons are not that important at all. Most runners are just standing around waiting for the gun to go off. Truth is, you could fall down, have three guys run over you, get up, and still win the race. It’s not the start that is so important; it is the endurance.
Today, many believe marriage is like a sprint, that the start is what is critical. I never cease to be amazed at how many struggling couples point to the start as the reason for their struggles. “We were too young.” “We didn’t know each other for very long.” “We didn’t have enough money.” They are convinced that the poor start is the reason for their troubles, but they are wrong. Marriage is not a sprint; it is a marathon. It is not the start that leads to a failed marriage, but the unwillingness to endure the race.
You don’t do marathons quickly. You have to spread out your energy over time. Endurance is what empowers a couple over the long haul. It will enable you to push through old familiar conflict zones for the ten-thousandth time without quitting; you just keep going and going. . . That’s endurance. It makes marriages last.”
