This morning I woke up to Kyle crawling into bed. “What time is it?” I asked…to which he replied “You have to get up in 10 minutes.” WHAT!? He was working on this deal until 5:05 AM, but guess what? IT’S DONE!!! And my STUD of a fiancé was the leader of the entire project. Sorry, I just had to brag a bit, now that I’m finally able to discuss it, and not sworn to SUPER secrecy.

The fam (L to R: youngest sis, middle sis, dad, mom, me) The girlies (above AND below). Hooray for LA-LA-land friends!! I tried to hit up all my fave… Read more >

My only two cousins managed to coordinate the biggest events in their lives to overlap!!!!!!!!! My older cousin went into labor 5 weeks early, and ended up in the hospital on the night of the rehearsal dinner and gave birth to a healthy baby… Read more >
