An {ontherun} Wedding
| June 21, 2011 | Posted by Lauren under LifeontheRun |
Thank you all so very much for your encouraging comments, tweets, emails, etc about my application to run Hood to Coast with Nuun this summer! Obviously I would be over the moon excited if I got selected for the team, and it means so much to have all of you behind me. Decisions are announced tomorrow, so I’ll keep you updated!
It may seem weird that I announced my application to run HTC and then completely disappeared from the blog-world for an entire week. But I assure you I had a good reason. Last Wednesday, I traveled out to a farm in the beautiful New York countryside to help turn this:
Into this:
And this lovely HOTR-sister:
Into the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.
Since you come here to read my ramblings about running, not weddings, I will spare you the 350 pictures I have from the weekend. But I will just say this – Christina is the first of the {ontherun} girls to get married. And there is nothing, absolutely nothing quite like the first time you watch one of your little sisters walk down the aisle to marry the man she loves.
The weekend was whirlwind in every way possible. And my unexpected lack of internet access was a blessing in disguise. Lack of contact with the outside world helped me to completely unplug and soak it all in. As you might imagine, I had an amazing time and loved every minute.
Well…until this happened:
That, my friends, is a smashed computer. I don’t want to go into detail about how it happened, but I will say that it got run over (long story), and it was completely not my fault. And yes, that is my less than one year old Macbook.
Since Apple doesn’t seem to cover “being run over by a car” in their Apple Care terms of service, I’m not quite sure yet how long I’ll be out of commission. So I just wanted to let you all know that Health on the Run may be quiet for a little while. I’ll pop in and out when I can, and my fingers are crossed that I’ll be back soon with yet another shiny new Mac. …which will be kept far away from cars from now until the end of time.
Your sister looked gorgeous! So glad the wedding was fun!
I am so sorry about your computer. You must be beyond mad! I hope the Apple fairy brings you a new one soon!
Your sister looked beautiful. Her dress looks gorgeous!
Oh no! Let me know if you do end up needing a new one – my brother works for apple and gets discounts…also if you need help fixing it that is up my husband’s alley
Thanks!! I’m bringing it in this week and we’ll see what they say. I just might take you up on your offer!
No problem, good luck!
Oh no! I hope you get your computer fixed ASAP!!! Glad you had a great wedding week!
we’ll miss you!
Oh my goodness, your sister is so beautiful! Must run in the family
I can only imagine how emotional and wonderful it was to watch your sister get married. Congratulations to your whole family!
And I’m sorry about your computer. Major bummer…but a good excuse to buy a new one!
It would be, if I hadn’t just bought one in October…
Gah, I’m sorry Lauren. I’m sure that’s super frustrating. Apple Care really should cover things like getting run over by a car…that would have come in handy when I dropped my previous computer and the screen stopped working.
Christina looked radiant on her wedding day! Congratulations to the beautiful couple. I’m sure it was a day for the {ontherun} history books.
And thank goodness for iPhone. Crushed computers won’t stop me from bugging you.
Your sister’s wedding looked so wonderful!!! I want to see more photos
I am SO sorry about your computer, I would pretty much curl up in a ball and cry 
I think we also need to petition Apple and get them to relax their care terms a bit! We need HOTR updates!!!!!!
I will be putting a million more on Facebook when I can get access to EC’s computer. So you can always stalk them there
A barn wedding = amazing, no matter what! I’m sure it’s even better when it’s your little sister. Congrats to the HOTR fam – your sister looks amazing!
Your sister’s dress looked gorgeous – loved the neck line! Sorry, about your comp. My hard drive crashed this spring and, well, I realized how dependent on my computer I was!!!
Oh no! That’s awful. I hope you get it figured out soon – being without a computer must be terrible!
Re: the wedding – looks so lovely! What a great weekend. Congrats to your sis!
Congrats to your sister!!! What a beautiful wedding and bride
Your smashed computer makes me sad. I think my Mac cried out in pain. Did you bring it in to the Genius Bar and bat your eyelashes?? Those eyelashes can really work some magic. Just sayin’.
Aww Lauren! I’m so so sorry this happened to you! The worst. But on the bright side its just a computer and replaceable and no one physically got hurt. Your pics are really cute and I look forward to more. Keep your chin up!
Oo no!!! computer trouble is the worst!! I hope you get yours figured out soon.
Lauren! Congrats on your sister’s wedding and your new brother. How wonderful.
My heart hurts for your broken computer! BLEH!! I hope you can find a not-crazy-expensive replacement soon.
Gorgeous wedding photos!
And girl, I am so sorry about your laptop!
NOOOOO, NOT THE MACBOOK!!! I’m so sorry:(
On a happier note CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THE NUUN TEAM!!! I clicked on the link of winners from Jess’ (Blonde Ponytail) blog and saw you were on it. CONGRATS GIRL, I’m SOOO happy for you!!!
Also, your sister’s wedding looks like it was GORGEOUS. And she looks gorgeous, too! What a beautiful family. I’m so glad you guys had a great time:)
