Spring Colors

These are my favorite trees in the spring time.

I can't wait to have my own house and my own yard

so I can landscape it with lots of beautiful foliage.

Breakfast Jars

I love jars for food storage.

And I love grapefruit for breakfast.

So I obviously love preparing my weeks-worth of grapefruit

and storing it in cute, little jars.

RO Morning

I genuinely love the town I work in.

Barbie'sBigDay

Barbie&Marine got married this weekend in a beautiful&traditional Catholic ceremony near Metro Detroit. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t so wonderful – but I suppose that “rain on your wedding day” saying indicates the two of them will have a long&fruitful marriage.
That’s obvious, though, no matter the weather.

The entire day was absolutely amazing – filled with precious&adorable moments&glances between the two of them. Their love is so pure&enchanting, it can only reaffirm everyone’s faith in finding their “perfect match” someday. And, of course, their attractiveness added to the beauty of the day. Mr.Marine wore his uniform – looking incredibly handsome&mature – and Barbie’s dress was flawless – shimmering&flowing around her tiny&tan frame. Her blonde hair curled&hung over her shoulders – her makeup looked effortless&natural. Both their smiles were unstoppable&heartfelt. The reception hall was tastefully decorated in purple&silver and the family-style dinner fit the closeness of the day. The speeches had everyone in tears and the slow-dances had everyone in awe. And though I didn’t know 75% of the guests, I felt like everyone in the room genuinely loved&cared for every other attendee. The chocolate&vanilla cake options were a hit with everyone at my table – so much so that we asked for “more” and were showered with pieces by our server. The emotions were high and the tenderness was true. And by dusk, the open-bar&DJ had gotten everyone on the dance floor – jumping&singing. Our crazy sisters even lifted the bride into the air and bounced her up&down.

More than a wedding – it was an exciting reunion for sorority&fraternity sisters&brothers who have spread themselves across the country. We all stayed in the same hotel near the reception hall – enjoying each other’s company before&after… including a wild&sneaky late-night pool break-in.

 I can’t wait to see pictures & finish the video I’m making for the happy couple. I don’t think anyone could have hoped for a better time.

WeekEndWalk

I walked from Royal Oak to Ferndale yesterday after work to hang out with Sydney for the night. It was a nice little 3ish mile walk - and the rain held off till the last couple minutes of it. I love love love being able to walk places. Then I did some jumping jacks in her living room while she got ready to go out. I love love love finding random ways to exercise, too.

Other Betty

I saw another "Betty" on my walk to work this morning!

It made me very happy.

I Don't Get It

...this is the type of sh*t I live with...

...and it drives me fu*king crazy...

Address Box

I've been working on this wedding project for Barbie for a little too long. Finally, it's finished... not perfect, but finished. She found an address box on Etsy to use as a guest book, but the price was crazy, so I told her I'd make one for her myself. It's been a fun project - maybe someday I'll get better at making them. I am really glad that I learned how to make those fabric flowers. I kinda want to make a million and embellish everything with them.
