Grad Party cont.

"make a post about my foot"
"what do you want me to say?"
"just say the skins a little peely but you like it"
"hmm.. ok"

Dear Lafawnduh (Lauren's Foot),
I like you. I like your cross tattoo. You have 5 toes, they aren't polished but it's ok... and your skins a little peely, .. but i kinda like it.
Love,
Hilda (Heather's Foot )

Our special boys... We're at a grad party right now. Lauren and I are sitting on the floor 2 feet apart. The 4 boys are squeezed closely onto 1 couch. (Notice the manlove cuddle between brett and luke.. they're in love!)

Who woulda thunk?

Almost directly in the middle of this picture is a building. An apartment complex that I lived in when I was really little. The place I met Aubri, the place Genieva lived first, the place where home videos of me throwing tantrums on the floor were taped, the place where my fondest memories of my Dad were made, the place where Tony was introduced into my life, the place where I remember watching lightening in the parking lot with my grandpa.

Fast forward 18 years..
I'm standing on a hill looking into the past, playing all these memories in my head. I stand and smile a moment longer before I turn to the house behind me. Today's the day. My wedding dress is ready. A girl only wears one wedding dress in her life and mine is ready and waiting for me. Waiting in the house on the hill. The same house that looked over those same apartments and chubby cheeked girl 18 years ago. Who would've thought?

I'm such a sentimental sap lately.. I just can't help it. My chubby cheeks couldn't help but smile.

and I say HEY! HEY! What a wonderful kind of day.

The other night B and I were talking to some friends about shows we watched when we were little. The first show that came to my mind was Arthur. I LOVED Arthur. I watched Arthur religiously. I'm pretty sure I can still recall ever single episode. It was totally a family thing too, we all loved Arthur. At the first sound of the theme song we all came running from our rooms to watch. You would think the love for the show would dwindle as years went by but... no. Being the oldest of 4 there was always someone in the appropriate age group to be watching Arthur.. so the love continued. It's been a while now (about 5 years. I'm 22.. you do the math) but after that conversation I was totally reminded of how amazing of a show it was!

Is it weird for 2 almost married adults to put the Arthur DVD's on their wedding registry?

... I think not

You got to listen to your heart
Listen to the beat
Listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street
Open up your eyes, open up your ears
Get together and make things better
By working together!

I Want You To Be My Love

B ran into this video the other day and knew I would love it.
He showed it to me and of course I loved it and have watched it multiple times since.

So I thought I'd give it a little blog love.
You have to actually watch the video. The song is beautiful but it's the video that completes it.
It's beautifully filmed and just so darn creative! Enjoy.

Busy Busy Busy

I can't believe it's been over month since I've posted!

...and after some persistant nagging to update the blog here I am.

Everytime I think to myself "wow the wedding is x amount of weeks away. I'm officially going at full speed now".. It gets even faster. Lots of exciting things are happening and I'm falling more and more in love with my hubby to be with each day. Thankfully I have these next 2 days off to get some things done, and on that list is to update the blog with all the fun things going on in my little corner of life:)

P.S.
She, my maid of honor, and beautiful sister comes home today and I couldn't be more excited! Things are about to get a lot less hectic and a lot more fun as she begins to bear some of the wedding weight haha.
