I'm (Finally) Getting Married! ( And Tying In A Half Marathon) Lol

My fiancé and I have been engaged about 7 years. We were due to be married in june in Hawaii, then my soon-2-be mom in law fell I'll in hospital in march. When she showed no sign of getting better in time for the wedding, we postponed it. We got pregnant a couple weeks later. My mother in law past away that October. Then life just got in the way. We had a new baby and I got huge! I got pregnant again when our daughter was 1 and a 1/2. I really felt that NEED to be married, so I bought another dress and was due to be married when I was 6.5 months preggers. Then my fiancée's dad fell ill. Once again, we postponed it while he went through chemotherapy. He past away when my daughter was 3 and my son was 1 ( 2 years ago). I have now completed a half marathon, and I have 4 more this year. My parents were in Hawaii in January ( they go every year) and saw they had a new half marathon starting up right around the time of our anniversary. I thought to myself," how cool to put the 2 together!! Get married, then run a half!!" yes I am that crazy!! So anyways, the run is coming back!! And my fiancé is gungho for putting the two together!!! Yippee!!

So I went home and tried on my dress. It's a 14 and I'm an 8, but it is still "the" dress!! It'll need quite a bit of alterations, but who cares!! I love it!!

Sorry for the long post, but I'm so damn excited that I'm going to be a skinny bride!!!! ; )
