B-LO: Take 2

Before I get into the crazy wildness that was last weekend, first let me say - I'm really dissappointed that I haven't posted any pictures this year. It doesn't help that I wrecked my camera last month and haven't replaced it yet. That's 5 months! Geeez. I promise to remedy that soon. Check the link on the left in a few days. And on that note...
Naomi and I made it to the grand city of Buffalo last Friday, after many promises and one failed attempt. And it was splendid :)
Cati was beside herself with happiness that we *finally* made it. We started off the night with authentic Buffalo wings. *yummy* Then headed out around 9 for Chippewa Street and the bars. The first round of drinks I bought only cost $6. $6!!!!! 2 shots and 3 beers!!! AMAZING! Needless to say, when we finally could function enough to count the next day, the tally ran about 7 bars and 15 drinks each. Luckily, my liver loves me. And Cati and I rode a mechanical bull. Francis AWESOME! (I've decided to replace all swear words with peoples' names.)

Somewhere in there we met up with Chucker the F-er, at which point I gave him the evil eye but then promptly forgave him for all past faults when he handed me a drink. :) We managed to hit all the hot spots (and a few not so hot), and molested a few bronze buffalo statues to boot! I would guess that I was completely content when I passed out in the recliner at 4:30 a.m.

Saturday we went to see Beka lose $50 at the casino, followed by the much prettier site of Niagara falls. Even though we couldn't go over to Canadia without passports (not completely sure that's true), they were still a gorgeous site to behold. That night we went to the Sabres play-off hockey game (well, stood outside the arena with all the other crazy people) and saw the (unfortunate) loss back at Casa del Cati while partaking in a power not-quite-hour. Naomi and I snapped Cati out of her depression with some loud music and inappropriate videos (you SO need to watch Say Anything: Wow, I can get sexual too. It's my song of the minute.) And then we hauled her down to a new bar so that Naomi and I could get out dance on. Until 4 am. :) Sunday we went to church with the Knab family, bought some blatent Buffalo advertisements in the form of clothing, and then ended with dinner with the Knab family. All in all, and raging success. Can't wait till the next visit.

Deliberate. The adjective, not the verb.

I'm getting so excited for our move.  SO EXCITED!  I'm going to finally spend adult time with my parents (which I'm sure will be infuriating and full of unintended consequences, but also awesome.)  They will be a daily (or maybe weekly) part of our lives for as long as we have them.  This is a deliberate choice, maybe a crazy choice, but one that I embrace with the little knowledge I have of the actuality of it.  I may miss the weather, but life is about people to me, not things. I'm going to live 0.4 miles away from my best friend, and 3.7 miles away from my sister.  I'm going to do real estate.  Matt is going to do a business adventure with his best friend.  This is a deliberate move.  This is a deliberate life.  This is a rebuttal to all the times people say, "I wish I could... but I can't."  Because the thing is, "There's enough time in  your life for everything important."  You are given only one life on this plane...

The Perfect Social Media Life

Watching a little Gary Vee this morning and his rant on caring about what other people think.  (Everything he does is a rant.  But an awesome rant.  I As intended, it caused me to reflect on my social media persona and think about why I post.  Honestly, I post because it's a bit of a yearbook for me.  I love documenting the great stuff, because my brain forgets (in about 0.2 seconds), and I especially love when Facebook reminds me of my memories.  I'm not trying to convince the world that I have the perfect life - I DO have the perfect life.  It's full of family and friends and experiences.  Shelter and safety and amazing food.  In fact, sometimes I DON'T post because I don't want people to compare their lives and feel lacking.  I just want to remember this amazingness for the days when it's not amazing.  Gary Vee posits that we post fantastic stuff because we crave other peoples' validation on our daily lives.  But I know eve...

All sorts of congratulations

We'll start with family... The event of the season! Lisa and Tom's wedding was this past weekend and I'm exhausted, but in a good way. My family (God bless 'em) can be so tiring... :) The wedding itself though was a phenomenal success. We got everything set up in time, the key players all showed up for the ceremony (though my parents were almost late because Colby threw a massive temper tantrum about putting on his suit), and the weather was perfect. They did a tropical/bbq type theme at an old estate (Joanna Furnace) with an accordian playing DJ. He was actually pretty good :) Saturday morning we girls went to get our hair/makeup/lives done, and Shakes was nice enough to accompany us and take pictures. Link is on the top left :) We made it to the church about a half hour before the ceremony to change and hang out, only to realize that by putting our dresses in the dryer to de-wrinkle, they had been almost ruined by a wayward dryer sheet. Other women would have panicked...
