Itz my little bitty niece’s first birthday today, Audrey Rose! Just one day after my momma’s birthday, Audrey Rose is having quite the bash this morning. Pictures will follow, but just imagine everything pink and totally overboard as my sister themed the party, “Sugar & Spice and Everything Nice!”

Audrey Rose is pretty lucky that her momma is a photographer, eh? She started off cute and just keeps on getting cuter and cuter. Just as Jacob’s third birthday party was themed as the Olympics and every last detail was taken care of, I’m pretty sure Audrey Rose’s birthday party will blow it out of the water. Here’s a hint of how out of control lovely it will be: the florist who did the extravagant flowers for MY WEDDING will be doing Audrey Rose’s first birthday party floral decorations. Yeah… Pictures to come, I promise!
First thing this morning, before the birthday bash, I’m off to do some speed work with my trainer and running group. Then, I’m quickly showering, celebrating the big number one, and dashing off to Old Monroe to participate in the Warrior Dash with many other FitFluential Ambassadors! This will be my fourth Warrior Dash and I’m totally excited about it. I did my first one a few years ago in Illinois; it had not yet come to Missouri.
Such amateurs we were! Do you see how clean we were after the race? So not normal. During my last one, we made sure that didn’t happen again!
After jumping over fire a couple times, I knew what to expect and had some fun with it.
That picture still makes me feel hardcore! Earlier in the summer, my sister and I did the Ruckus Heater. It was Stephanie’s first mud run, and we had a total blast!
So today will be my fifth mud run. What’s interesting though, is that this will be my first one that I’m running by myself. Sure, there will be hundreds of other runners around, but usually I stay with a friend or my sister throughout the race. I’ve run plenty of races by myself, just not mud run obstacle courses. We shall see what happens. I’m excited to totally rock this race, get dirty, and become a warrior (again)!
What’s your Saturday looking like? Sugar & Spice or Warrior Dash style?
*My registration for the Warrior Dash is complimentary. All opinions are my own.
that looks absolutely terrifying, but so bad ass! I need to do a mud run next year!
Yes, you do! They are SO much fun! I highly recommend the Warrior Dash!
Have so much fun today at Warrior Dash and good luck! I’m sure you’re going to rock it!
Thanks, Danielle!

That fire picture is EPIC. wish we could have run together – I ran by myself too! It was so fun though!
I know!!
This just means we’ll have to find a different race to do together!!
Ahh I really want to do a warrior dash!
You definitely need to if you want to consider yourself hardcore
Warrior dashes look like SO much fun! I can’t wait to hear about how it went for you. Even though you ran it alone, I’m sure you totally rocked it.
On Saturday I went to the homecoming game with my two old roommates then we went downtown to celebrate!
Homecoming games are so fun! A sure sign of Fall for sure!
Holy crap what an AWESOME and epic picture of you! That is one to save for sure!
