We've had a crazy few weeks of partying!
first a huge family wedding... my mom's bff's daughter got married (by the way- the bride's mom, is "my" Teri- a second mother to me! and she looked HOT at the wedding- hi Teri!). She is basically another sister, another daughter to my parents, raised by her mom and my parents. So, it was a weekend full of festivities! The bride and groom had a fabulous time and felt the love, which made it perfect :).

| Family picture! I'm so short... hiding behind my Mimi... Zach's keepin' it classy as usual, and my brother Kyle (beside the groom, whom we adore!!), is an ordained preacher man, officiated the wedding and did an INCREDIBLE job. He is so talented. Lives in Souther California so let me know if you want him to officiate your wedding- he makes it fun and rocks it!!! |

The next weekend was what I wrote about last week- Mimi's Birthday Party!!!!
I cannot explain how amazing this weekend was!!! I absolutely loved having ALL my cousins in NC with us... what a blast! We missed my brother terribly (who is deployed) but took lots of pics to show him. Family came in from San Fran, Long Beach CA, Miami, Denver, Providence, Bostin, Blacksburg, and right here from across NC. There was good food, toasts, poems, and great celebration! When you make it to 90 in great shape, you celebrate- right Mimi and PopPop?? :)
Here are some pictures!

I feel like the luckiest person alive, having such a big, fun, loud, inclusive, and kind family. We are very, very blessed. And now for a "chill" weekend :). Happy Saturday, everyone!
