Advocare Maple Granola

Chris’ super healthy, fit sister, Charity, finally convinced  us to do the Advocare 24-Day Challenge. Basically, that means no sugar or carbs, except for in the morning (most days). Those of you who know me can imagine how real the struggle was. I even had to ask Chris to take a bunch of my candy away and hide it until the challenge was over… I have no self control.

Gotta get the beat bumpin’.

Stevie helped me out with this one, too– another brother-in-law! Blake’s older brother, Chris, does weddings. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I’m featured on his wedding page:

A great name, a great price, and musically inclined, we’re excited to have Chris at our wedding!

Picking a Photographer

My matron of honor, Stevie, has made my life exceedingly easy. Her brother-in-law, Aaron Huberty, is going to be our photographer!

Also, in case anyone has been looking for them, we are not doing engagement photos. There was some sort of compromise for this, as Chris is very against these staged photos, but I can’t remember now what I got out of the compromise? I’m going to have to work on my bargaining skills.

For the wedding, though, Aaron is reasonably priced and takes lovely pictures! Besides, Chris keeps telling me we only need 4-5 good ones.

I did make him buy a tandem bicycle and pose for our save the date…
