Top Three

1. We books our caterer!! We had a tasting on Monday which was a ton of fun and signed the contract later in the week. It was so nerve-racking trying to find a caterer so late, but we’re really happy with how it worked out.
2. I have been non-stop all week and I’m feeling it. Between work, teaching yoga, wedding stuff, dog stuff, blog stuff, etc, I’m drained. My fiancé is gone this weekend at a bachelor party so I’ve been enjoying some R&R. Hello shopping, bath, and reading time.
3. I finished 3 books on Friday! Which is totally crazy for me. I’ve just been in such a huge reading mood the last week or so.

How was your week?!
