OK, January and February are just one big long month… Right?
Shesh– here it is March 2nd and I am looking around like, where the hell does time go? Amirite?

I hope your New Year kicked off with nothing but amaziness– mine has been non-stop, in a good way.

What have I been up to you ask? Well, my whole personality is being a Bride these days— so strange, who would have thought.

January:
I ran race 2 of 40, a 5k in the snow! It made me questions who I am as a person haha. I struggled a lot during that race. I was missing my dad, it was cold and I just wanted to be anywhere but running 3.1 miles in a snowstorm but I did it. I kicked off the new year with my first race in the books– then developed a sinus infection 😁

February:
February was filled with not only races but wedding stuff galore. On February 1st, the day of my grandfather’s passing many years ago, I walked into Malmrose Bridal in South Jordan and found my dream wedding dress. I tried on a ton, we were there for over 2 hrs and I was thinking that I may not find the one here but the last dress, there it was, we made it custom to what I wanted and in all her beautifulness she was purchased (pics to come after the wedding obvi 😉). I think my dad was there with me the whole time, helping me find the most perfect dress.

Speaking of my dad– I got a visit from him on SnapChat of all things… He did not have a Snapchat. I was missing him alot and looking for a sign he was still with me and then on a random morning I got a notification that said “Tina F. you have a new friend suggestion from your contacts” and it was my dad, but he has never had a snapchat. Strange? Maybe. A sign that he was there? I think so.

After finding my perfect dress I ran race 3 of 40 in the SOJO date Dash and OMG it might have been the best race of my life. It was only a 5k, however, it was my fastest 5k. I placed 2nd in my age group, I won a HydroJug in pink and at the race start Journey was playing and then as I crossed the finish line I heard Journey playing again which let me know that dad was indeed running that race with me.

A few weeks later we finally made it up the mountain to not only snowboard but take our engagement pictures! Not in the same day obviously but the weather had been perfect for literally both. It seemed like January and February became just one really long month, and here it is March?!

Pretty soon it will be October and the wedding will be here! Which is wild. We have so many fun wedding things going on so if that is something you are loving and want to keep up with check out my YouTube channel I have a Wedding Vlog series! Episode 5 drops this week and it is all about DIY florals! Check out the page here.

On that note, I will leave you with these beautiful engagement photos. I am so excited to marry my best friend and I can’t wait to share the special day with all my favorite people. Shout out to our amazing photographers Pink Ivy Photography & Videography for capturing such a special moment for us.

Until next time
🖤 XOXO T
