Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
May your day be absolutely lovely, and may your bellies be full.
We aren’t doing Thanksgiving today, but instead will be going to my brother’s place tomorrow for spaghetti. We’re definitely bucking tradition a bit this year.
I woke up this afternoon after a MAJOR sleep-in. I seem to have a sinus infection, and it’s [...]
Makeovers!
When sitting in the doctor’s office, I pick up the nearest fashion magazine and flip to the makeover section first. I have a not-so-secret desire to be a makeup artist in my copious spare time, and it is fascinating to me what dramatic changes can be made with a bit of spackle and paint.

We’re Hitched!
It was perfect in all its imperfection, and we had almost all of our closest family and friends present.
I will post details tomorrow or Tuesday when I’m a little less exhausted, but in the meantime here are a couple of pictures…
My ring! And a margarita. I love this picture, and I love that someone thought [...]
