Holla atcha boy!

First, pics have been posted. Vegas, Shakes’ bday hash, even some wayward New Years pics… Check out the links on the top left.

Second, countdown to wedding bells (Lisa and Tom’s, of course!) is now 6 days. 6 DAYS! I’m amazed. I’m astonished. I’m spell-bound. Really I’m just very excited. I pick up my sassy little bridesmaid dress tomorrow, some day this week I’ll find shoes, and tonight Naomi is coming over to help me highlight my hair. This, of course, could either be the best or the worst idea I’ve ever had. The best because it’ll cost me a box of dye and $15 worth of Chinese food. The worst because it could go horribly wrong and cost me the $130 the salon wants, plus the $25 I’ve already spent. Either way, I think it’s a great time for some girlie bonding over tasty food and chick flicks.

I fly back home on Wednesday night to a house more stressed out than Paris Hilton in maximum security, and I can’t wait! Thursday the girls are taking Lisa out for a night in Philly, Friday morning I’ll be making bouquets as Elaine distracts Lisa with pedicures and alcohol, Friday morning the ladies meet up again at 0 dark early for appointments with the make-up/hair/nails mafiosa, and then…

DUM DUM DE-DUM! Wedding time. Boogie down! Excellent!

Did I mention I can’t wait? J

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...

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...
