Summer Lovely

Apple Care done a girl good. Olive was in and out of surgery and is back home resting (and waiting for Josh to restore the software). One day turn around. Amazing. On my way home from the Apple store (drove my own car, first time in 6 months! woot woot!) I stopped by Target and saw more Mara Mi stationary. Fell in love, again.

Mara Mi at Target

So many pretty details. I have a set from the first rollout that I'm still making my way through but I was tempted to pick up one of these. :) Summer is so lovely. 

She's Going In

Olive hasn't been feeling well and she's being admitted to the Genius Bar for some TLC. They say she needs a new hard drive and will have to stay for 3-5 days! =( Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. Until then, I will try to use the Mr.'s computer but no guarantees. :p If you know Josh, then you know his toys are not up for play. :)

P.S. Cynthia Rowley bandaids!

To Be A Mother

I came across this poignant note while traversing the web yesterday, and it stayed with me.

You hear all these horror stories from the mommyworld with words like "post pardum depression", "hysterical crying"and "it's never going to end" floating around. These words and other common idioms are truly frightening.

So she said, "I got into the swing of things and my heart started to burst with love a little more each day...So the love is there. and it's been there all along. It just took my body a little while to get adjusted to my new role of Mom."


So she says and so it probably is. To all the soon-to-be-mommies (whose numbers are growing by the day!), you can do it. :)

Sheldon + Kristin

Sheldon and Kristin were married this past Saturday at the Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills. The ceremony was outside and thankfully the weather behaved. It was so fun seeing all of Josh's high school friends and catching up with everyone. 

 The peeps, who have all so kindly welcomed me with open arms.

 And just for fun because I don't think I'll ever tire of seeing these guys in these outfits.

Weddings are such a reflection of the couple. This one was casual, lighthearted, fun, and quirky all rolled into one. Just like Sheldon and Kristin. :) 

Happy summer everyone, and hello popsicles, watermelon, shorts, and tans!

Just Married

More to come Monday. Happy Weekend!

Rehearsal Dinner

Quickly before I sleep. A few shots taken at the rehearsal dinner. 

And lastly, that awkward prom pic with the soon-to-be newlyweds. :) 

More to come!

Dinner, Dishes, and Laundry

Those are my three goals tonight. Just call me cray cray! 

Had some leftover salmon and not a whole lot of time. Found this arctic char with mushrooms recipe in an old food network magazine. It was yummy. So yummy, I am passing the recipe off to you.

Baby Update: Aimee just hit the 30 week mark. Hello 3rd trimester! I hear the emotions can go a bit wacky right about now. I'm not sure because I haven't seen her in a few weeks. But I'll let you know after this weekend. :p jk!
