A Weekend Tale of Two Lovebirds

 
All the girls started the weekend at The Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC, where we pampered ourselves all day.
 

 
After we had relaxed all day, we headed downtown for a night on the town.

 


 
The next day we headed to the venue for rehearsal, when we noticed the groom (my brother) was missing. No he didn't get cold feet, just got stuck behind a wreak. This is him getting to the rehearsal right after we finished. She was waiting at the bottom of the stairs :)

 
My brother and nephew Carter.

 
My dad giving the speech that my brother is officially a man :)

 
My sister  (holding Carter) and sister in law

 
The two lovebirds

 
I might be a little biased but they are the cutest little family I have ever seen

 
The Bowen Bunch just keeps growing (this makes my momma VERY happy)

 
He is taking after his aunt, already wanting to take pictures orrrrrr maybe he just liked to chew on my camera case.

 
The morning of the wedding
 
Carter and I snuck out on the porch for a relaxing morning.


You can't tell me he is not the cutest little one you have ever seen.

Now today was my first day at the gym that I joined and you are not going to believe it. I went BEFORE work. Which means I went at 6 am. yeap 6 am. If you know me I am not a morning person but I think I have found the cure. I feel so great this morning. So I am going to continue to try to do it 4 to 5 times a week. I will share with you my workouts and if you have any tips just let me know.
 
 Week 1 Workout 1

20 minutes of cardio
15 minutes of arm weights
