A FRIENDLY REMINDER

Last night after we arrived home from our busy Saturday, I had a tiny meltdown. You see, Tyler parks his car along a chain link fence outside our apartment (because he is so lovingly chivalrous and gives me the carport) and every time I get out of the car there is dog poo all along the fence. I can usually avoid it, but since it was so dark last night and I was carrying way too much while wearing heels, I stepped and slid in some doggie turds. It was a bit of a last straw since I was tired and hungry and now there was poo on my new heels, but Tyler is such a sweetie and a hilarious problem solver that he immediately went and did this before we went to bed. Our neighbors quite enjoyed it when they saw it today and I just had to get a picture of it because it is probably my favorite.

FAMILY STAR

Our Saturday had just enough lazy in the morning for how busy it was for the remainder. We had family pictures, went to dinner and topped the night off at the Lynchland favorite: Desert Star. If you can recall, last weekend we went shopping for said family photo and might I say how dashing everyone looked in their purple/black/grey attire. Not to mention how awesome it was to get quite the stare down from all who saw us because we matched a little too well at our dinner and our show.

ME AND MY COUSINS

Tonight was the not-so-annual, but try-when-we-can cousin potluck. We had a great turn out and Tyler and I even brought a replica of our wedding cake to the event (made by the infamous Etna). The night was filled with laughing, dancing, smash-brothering and eating. Thank you to the Picketts, for hosting and another big thank you to all who made the effort to come. We really need to see each other more.

NOT THE COOLEST DAY

Today was ten eleven twelve. How cool is that? The coolest day of the year and we spent it working and then listening to a Kirby vacuum salesman. He stayed way too long and infringed on our dinner, all the while taking his sweet time putting away each piece of this miraculous vacuum. I'm such a sucker for door-to-door salesmen... Good thing I had my 'hard as a rock' husband to keep me from being swayed.

OH VERA

I wore this shirt today; it's made by the wonderful Vera Wang. I am terribly in love with the organically placed floral pattern and unexpected color palette. Being able to wear this blouse again has made me want more sweet patterns in my wardrobe and to secretly take up sewing.

THREE AND A QUARTER

Slowly but surely I have been plucking away at our five-page list of lucky postcard recipients. I've been watching episode after episode of 'Gossip Girl' during my thank you marathons (don't judge). I'm hoping to have these done by the end of the week… I'll keep you posted.

In other news it is my father's super awesome titanium birthday (that means his age is the same number as the year he was born; I made that up).

In other other news I lost 3.25 pounds and broke the 200 barrier. I am now .25 pounds away from being exactly 35 pounds lighter! BOOM BABY!

HAWAIIAN HILARITY

Today is the day… the day I am to take on the daunting task of writing, addressing and stamping all of our wedding thank you postcards. The only postcard stamps they had at the post office, online and the entire United States, for that matter, were these Hawaiian shirt stamps. How hilarious are these?
