The Running Balance

Good Morning Followers!
     It’s Christine here! As we are hairspray deep in weddings, projects, bridal meetings and my own wedding to-do-list; I want to give you a little insight into how I balance everything. With a long to-do list at the start of everyday; I deal with it in little chunks of time. Yes, it sounds crazy and tempting to procrastinate those cumbersome tasks but once they are given their chunk of time; they will be knocked out. Setting times to accomplishing all the “what the heck” items adds focus, vision, and motivation to complete them. So take a deep breath, set a time, and dig in darlings!

    Providing Balance:
  •  Running 5ks only… Saving ½ marathons+ till I’ve said “I Do”.  Running is a no cell phone time unless it’s wedding week! Providing clarity, focus, and major stress relief. 
  •   Yes, there are nights that I pull my covers up at 3:00AM. But on most nights I snuggle in at 10:00PM giving me the stored sleep and sanity to tackle all those 3am emergency task.
  • Friends: Sometimes I really need a good laugh and the wedding professionals that are right in. 
  • there with me on wedding days are the people who can completely understand those times that being a wedding planner is just plain; not so glamorous. Their humor and guidance are the best at helping me conquer those times.
  •     Date Night Fiancé time gives me time to concentrate on our growing relationship. Listening to his dreams, desires, loves, hates, and everything in between inspires me personally and professionally.  He has truly amazing ideas about Celebrations of Love from a completely different perspective (he is in the car business).

That’s all for now; I am soooooo excited for more entries to come. Please let Whitney and I know if you would like to hear about something in particular. Combined we have seen, learned, experienced A WHOLE lot!
