Weddings....

Summertime.....
It's that special time of year for picnics, the beach, bbq's and of course.....WEDDINGS!! So many people choose the springtime and summertime to get married since the weather is just fantastic! Seems like I go to more and more of these ever year and every year I am in at least one of them! Yes it can be a bit costly to go to or be involved in, but they are always fun and an honor to be a part of.
So this week is "wedding week" for me. On Sunday I had my future sister-in-laws bridal shower. It was definitely a wonderful time and she made out like a bandit of course! (lucky gal!) Then the rest of the week will be spent getting ready for my boyfriends sisters wedding! We have rehearsal & the dinner on Thursday, setting things up for the reception on Friday and then the big day is Saturday! All very exciting!
I sit back and think about how I saw these two couples go through so much in their relationships and grow so much stronger year by year and I cant help but smile. I wish them nothing but the best life has to offer! Love is strong enough to help you through the best and worst of times. Have faith in your relationships and the rest will fall into place. And always remember, "Live Well, Laugh Often & Love Much"......xoxoxo

Been Awhile!!

Well hello ladies & gents!

It's been awhile, I know. And I am sure you are all on the edge of your seat with wonder on what could possibly be going on with moi'!!! (*yes, I do live in a world full of delusion and all the voices in my head love it that way, thank you....ha ha*)

Well, I'm officially 30! (*And I survived! GO FIGURE??*) My past week (*or a little over*) has been pretty exciting! Fourth of July weekend, my boyfriend decided to throw me for a little loop and have a very beautiful surprise party for me! (*I was definitely surprised, the party was wonderful and pretty much everyone I hold close to me was there!*) I was told I was going to a brunch and to dress up. (*I should have known right then and there something was up!*) So I walk into the place and **SURPRISE!!!** everyone was there waiting!! I turn my head to the left and MORE people were there! It was definitely a great day!! He did an amazing job and my mom even helped out with great pics of me and family and friends from the time I was born alllllllll the way til this year......crazy.......time sure does fly! Well, I partied that day and then sadly had to go into work the next day with a hangover that made the ones I had at 21 jealous.....(*good times I assure you.....*)

On my actual birthday, the girls & I headed off to the beach! Great weather, great friends, the day couldn't get any better, right? Well we went out that night to one of my favorite summer places. A Mexican restaurant with a great patio to enjoy a great night and some really GREAT margarita's!! yummy! Friends and a few family members came out to spend the last part of the birthday with me. All in all.......30 ended up being alot better than I thought it would be. Thanks to some very special people in my life!

If any of you happen to read this: thank you for everything! I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my 30th!!

PS......yes, 30 IS the new 20......to hell with all those little hoochies out there.....I am still supa'-dupa'-fly!! ;o) ha ha!!

Toodles For Now!

Well Happy 4th Of July Everyone!!

Today is the day for thanking those who came before us and those who are fighting for our freedom now.......

With that being said, its also a good day to sit back, have a few beers and several hot dogs and hamburgers too!! Don't forget the potato salad and all sorts of great desserts!! YUM!!!

So what do you have planned for this fourth? I love holidays that fall on a Friday!! The longer the weekend- the better!!!

Hopefully fireworks will be in my future this evening if the weather holds out!! (You don't like the weather in New England.......wait five mins.......it will change for ya!!) This weekend will be spent with friends and family having a good time. Why is it we wait til "special holidays" to do picnics and get-togethers? I think this should be a year round thing. Don't you? It's always: Christmas, Turkey-Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day and of course today.....the 4th of July that we decide, "hey, today seems like a day for a little party!!" The way I see it, every day should be celebrated, not blown over...... So today I say "start celebrating the 18th of August! The 10th of December! The 2nd Of June! And hell.....throw in July 7th this year......give yourself a nice LOOOOOONG weekend!!!"

Happy Picnic-ing People!!!

Have a safe holiday!!

Cheers to the 4th of July!!!
