Top Three

1. I’ve pretty much been in wedding planning panic mode all week. I feel like I haven’t done anything but field calls, texts, and emails from vendors and bridal party members. But the wedding is only 6 days away!! We’re in the final countdown.
2. Kevin and I took Saturday to relax and kick off the fall season 😊 So we went apple picking! Even though it was like 80 degrees out haha. It’s one of our favorite fall activities to do every year and we had such a good time. So excited for apple crisp now!
3. I feel like I’m essentially a warm body at work right now 😂😂 My brain is so focused on wedding stuff I haven’t been productive AT ALL. But luckily my boss and coworkers have been good sports about it and really dialed back on my tasks for this week and next week ❤️
