Weekend Madness!!!

Sean and I returned to Boston this weekend for Dan and Shari's wedding. We arrived Friday around 7pm. I dropped Sean off downtown for Dan's bachelor party and headed To Robyn's for a girls night sleepover. Saturday was jammed packed with wedding prep stuff all day. I've got pink nails and toes to prove it!. Saturday was the Rehearsal dinner at Vinny T's. The food was delicious and it was nice to finally start putting some faces with names of various family members.

Sunday started bright and early for me with my hair at 6am. I swear my hair didn't change from 6am to 9pm. I got my makeup done around 11am and then pictures began. The ceremony started at 1pm and was beautiful. I had never attend a Jewish ceremony and it was a really neat and meaningful ceremony. The weather was just perfect. It was a little cool around 60 degrees but the sun was shiny. I would be lying if I said I didn't shred a tear. Thank goddess for waterproof mascara. The rest of the day was food and more food followed by lots of dancing. It was a super happy occasion as all wedding should be and the Bride was radiant as was the Groom. I can't wait to see the pictures.

I did bring my camera but I didn't actually take too many photos. If any of the ones I took come out I'll be sure to post one.

I'm happy to be home after an exhausting and wonderful weekend!

How can it be October?

This year has really flew by. I can't believe that it is October. Sean and I have now lived in Ohio for over a month. Sean starts his classes today for his masters degree. So the next year and half will be totally different from the last 3 years we have been married. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Shari's wedding is only a couple of weeks away. I can't wait to be back in Boston and see everyone and witness this super special moment in two of my closest friends lives. I may have to stuff some Kleenex down the front of my dress and invest in water proof mascara.

October means fall, my second favorite season but it also means winter is coming. So far fall in Ohio has been warmer than usual and not very rainy. Some of the leaves have started to turn. I know it won't be an picturesque has it is back east but hopefully there will be some good color. Perhaps I will have to look up and see if there is an ideal place to view the colors here in Ohio. We have been talking about camping in the red river gorge this coming weekend so will see if there is any color there yet.

It is hard to believe that winter is upon us....it feel like just last week summer was starting and moving to Ohio was months away. Winter is my least favorite season. I plan on keeping myself as busy as possible so I forget is cold and gray. It probably won't be that hard since most of the housework will fall to me with Sean doing school. It is a good thing that my new washer and drier Rock!

Fun with Purses

For my birthday Shari and Robyn got my a gift certificate to 1154 Lill which is a store that you can build custom purses. Last night we went down there to create the purse! We had tons of fun picking out fabrics and putting them together to build the perfect purse. I swear I was in purse heaven and it was so hard to narrow things down to the final purse (shown above). I really think I could have designed at 3-4 more purses from all the different fabrics I liked.
Unfortunately it will take until Aug 18th to get the purse so it is being shipped to the new house. So I promised to take and send photos of it when it arrives. I also promised to bring when I return to the Boston area for Shari's wedding in October. I seriously can't wait to get the purse. I feel quite inspired to open my own create your custom purse shop some day.

Well after designing and purchasing the awesome purse we heading over to The Upper Crust for some delicious pizza and of course more girl talk! We topped the evening off with ice cream from J.P. Licks in Davis square. I got some excellent cookie dough ice cream. I forgot how much I love cookie dough. It really might be my next food kick.....of course that might not be ideal for my waist line. It is a good thing that Edy's make a double churned light with the dough!

I will of course post some more picture of the PURSE when it comes! I'm so excited!!!

A wonderful wedding

I'm finally posting a few photos from John and Megan's wedding! Aren't they cute! Next photo is John surrounded by Meg's sorority sisters. Last one is their beautiful cake.
