so honored

The day has finally come, my cousin who has also turned into a best friend is engaged! I couldn't be more excited for her and to know she is marrying one heck of a guy who I have grown to love! Today we spent the day at the wedding fair! It was so fun seeing all the brides there and people they love most. We were very successful today with some booking! Before we went in she gave me this special gift in asking me to be her maid of honor, I couldn't even read it all before my eyes filled with tears, I said yes and hugged the crap out of her. She was so beautiful and her ring just glowed.

 

The picture of us above was taken about a year ago, when we spent a fall day with our grandma and aunt attending a winery, went into some shops and had dinner. I was reminded today, even though I knew it was about a year ago that Ali and I discussed our weddings a bit. I knew she was going to marry Jared and I was single at the time and still currently am, but we agreed to be each others maid of honor. We don't have sisters and have too many great friends to pick just one, so how perfect to have it be family. In one year later the day has come. I am so excited to help plan and be apart of the so very special day. The planning will be so fun, all leading up to the day she will marry her best friend.

 

XOXO

5 years ago

I was starting my senior year of college. The emotions are sinking in that tomorrow when everyone else goes off to school, I will be off to work. While college students pass time with their friends between classes going on adventures, playing pranks, napping, eating, laughing, doing an assignment last minute, or simply doing nothing at all. The chapter has now been closed in my life. The four year vacation is now over and so begins the process on where God wants me to be. My college experience could not of gone any better, the friends that turned into family, the experience, jobs I've had, boys I've loved and the memories that have been made. Some of my best friends I have found here. We had such a big loving group and I am so thankful for each friendship. How do you even try to describe something so great? You cant because you lived it. I could ramble on about my four fabulous years but I have pictures and stories to help keep it a live. Growing up is emotional, stressful and scary.

 

It was weird not preparing for classes, getting supplies and receiving emails from my professor's. In high school I never thought college would come nor did I think after college would already be here. The person who I am now is a big thanks to the last four years and how it has shaped me and taught me so many ways. I appreciate every hurt and joy that I have overcome along the way.

 

I am glad for technology so I can keep in touch with the people who light up my world each day, my girlfriends.
