Yeah, let’s go ahead and say I need another day of recuperation before I am able to explain this weekend’s shenanigans…otherwise known as my bachelorette party in Chicago. Amazing, fun, happy times spent with incredible women. The voice is completely shot, the ibuprofen is on my desk, and H2O is the only beverage other than […]

Heavens to Betsy Blogger, you didn’t post this yesterday even though I specifically said “Scheduled to Post, Sunday, May 8th at 10AM”.

38 days to go. I remember when I started my beloved Wedding Wednesday posts more than a year ago seen here, the countdown was 400+ days and now we’re within 5 weeks…the end of planning/the beginning of married life is so soon I can feel it. I’m promising myself I am going to finish my big […]

This weekend was one for the books…through travel and lots getting completed, Jeff and I still managed to relax and spend time together soaking everything in and enjoying each other’s company, just the two of us. Friday night, we took it easy–cooking dinner, sipping on a glass {or […]

Short and sweet, just like what I’m hoping work will be today… My friends and colleages at work are throwing a shower for us during lunch–cannot wait! Jeff’s coming to join in on the fun, though bless his heart he just doesn’t like the opening presents in front of people stuff. We’re heading to Atlanta early […]
