Weekend Bliss

With the boy off shooting wedding bliss in Nashville, Tennessee, I found myself with a free weekend. No work, sunshine, and friends all around.

The lovely Michaela asked me to be her date for a Malibu wedding (who can turn that down?). Although the thought of a beautiful wedding in one of the most sought after destinations in the world brings glamour and sophistication to the average mind, Michaela and I were evidently bereft of the "Classy" gene.

For example, this wedding was so magical it even had a ferris wheel.

Not only was this a carnival-esque treat, but a spinning race against time; whereas the rider was delighted with vertigo, and a healthy fear of heights. Or, if you're like Michaela, and already have a fear of heights, you simply gain the experience of being nearly catapulted into space. 

It really was a lovely wedding though, and I should have definitely taken more pictures. Instead Michaela and I took turns spilling makeup/food/ beverages onto our clothing, eating fancy finger foods, and improving our social skills one advantageous conversation at a time. 

The most normal moment of the day, with credit to caffeine via the the cutest Starbucks ever. 

Sometimes its the days with most hilarity that seems to clean out my spirit. 

Yesterday I was blessed enough to spend the afternoon sipping tea, talking, and getting over a cold with this beauty. 

Even when ill she's beautiful, ridiculous. 

Recently married and perpetually encouraging, Bree, banjo and I enjoyed Chai and watched Meryl Streep movies. You really can't have a much better day than that, especially when it's filled with cuddling the most adorable little dog in the world (try to disagree with me, I dare you).

Although it was a wonderful, fun-filled few days, the best part was driving to pick this guy up from the airport.

Happy Sunday everyone!
