Wedding, Part 1

My sister's wedding in St. Augustine, FL at The River House couldn't have been more of what I needed. And at the same time exactly what I didn't need. Hello, homesick much!?! Geez - I don't know if anything can make you miss your family and closest friends more than 4-day wedding celebration.

Purely for my own enjoyment a few photos that sum up the wedding pretty nicely. Sorry for the pic overload. Soak it all in cause this ain't happenin' again on this blog ever again.

   

               

Katherine you were exactly what I picture the perfect bride to look and act like. You were glowing and sooo calm, even through the LITERAL storm (oh yeah, it rained. Moved the wedding inside.)  I was so proud to be your maid of honor through this entire process and couldn't have asked for a better sister or best friend. I don't think there are enough days in a lifetime to say how happy I am for you and Casey. What a freaking awesome brother I just inherited.

It's getting closer!

Time has been flying and I can't even believe I'm leaving TODAY to go to Florida for my sister's wedding!! Faces coming soon but for now, I just can't wait to see my family and friends in T-12 hours! Sorry bout the short update but happy humpday all! Too much on my mind! In a good way!

Not even teenagers.

When I was their age, I don't even know if I could tie my shoes. These little girls are so talented, it's amazing. Not to mention stylish to boot! Also, how is it that it's taken until just now for me to find out about these girls? Looks like they've  been on the YouTube circuit for a few years now {thanks a lot friends for keeping me in the looop ;)}.

Don't mind if I watch this again for the 400th time! I'm just making up for lost time!

What a World

That -- right there. Right up there. That is my dream. I just don't think it gets any better than that, I don't. Here's one interesting thing about me:  I don't float. Not that I don't, but rather, I just can't. I've tried for maaaaaany years and the only explanation I can come up with is that I'm bottom-heavy. My head stays up but the booty goes downdowndown to the ground without fail. Whatever, I have no shame. 

It has always been my dream to pack my bags, hop on a plane, fly over to the Dead Sea and float in it for hours. But that was before I pinned this beauty! why would I go to THAT when something as beautiful as THIS exists?! {As a side note, I still want to go to the Dead Sea.}

So all I have to say is thank you, Senegal, for creating something so naturally beautiful as Lake Retba ("Lac Rose") and a body of water described, no less, as something "pinker than any milkshake." Just awesome!

Have a happy weekend everyone! While I will be daydreaming about all this stuff above, my heart and mind will be with all the families and loved ones whose lives were affected by the horrible Aurora, CO shooting. I was truly shocked this morning when I heard the news. Such a tragedy.  

How I'm Feeling Lately

Loving this quote right now from my favorite Transcendentalist, Emerson (seriously, check him out, it's good stuff). I don't know if I've got the summertime blues -- or the fact that I missed my family's annual beach week this year because I couldn't take the time off of work -- but this makes me feel so nostalgic. In a good way!  And it's a perfect time to feel this way because I am soo looking forward to seeing my family and friends in 2 weeks for my sister's upcoming nup'tials!...Yo salty Florida beaches!! I'm ready for ya, come to mama!

Night Swimming

 

Margs after work can sometimes lead to midnight swim parties. And that's a good thing :)

The Things that Bog me Down

Serious decisions are to be made today and I need your help, PLEASSSEE!!

Do I want the ever-so-classy, probably over-priced Michael Kors wristlet for my new iphone and as my newiphone case

or do we prefer the "I'm-trendy-and-Miley-Cyrus-owns-me" wildflower iphone case?

AHhhhh I'm so indecisive!!
