Hi friends~

Hope you are enjoying the end of summer. I have had many great experiences recently. SO many weddings coming up! My favorite experience this month was being a bridesmaid for my sister Christina's wedding last week. She looked absolutely stunning. Her gorgeous white gown with lace sleeves and a lace back made her look like a princess. That was the happiest I have seen her and I know her future will be full of joy and peace with such a great hubby by her side.

My mom is getting re-married next month so I have another excuse to visit my fam in CA=] It is always hard to leave them. The trips there are always too short. It makes me sad that I don't have them nearby just to stop by for a quick meal or get a hug when I really need one. I am realizing the benefits of socializing more than ever with this new job. And I have to admit I just don't do well when I am alone. I am thankful for the accountability I get from God and my husband, although it would be nice to have some girlfiends that lived nearby. Last week when mom and I were chatting she asked me what the hardest part of marriage was. I answered that overall it was great, but when I am my innate selfish self and think I can do everything on my own or don't need to answer to anyone I end up falling flat on my face. Santification hurts but I am so glad I serve a God that desires growth from me and does not turn His face from me when I am being a butt.

I got my bridesmaid dress for my besties wedding. Want a peek?

 The color is sage and beige. I'm planning on wearing some nude pumps. I love the color choices Julie & Jason decided on : (Navy & Sage)


My friends weddings are such a great reminder of how it felt on my wedding day. I was reminded of the vows I promised Max and how I have done a pretty good job keeping them and vice versa. I think we are a perfect match. He's my best bud!

In other news, I have been SUCH a slacker in the kitchen lately... I have been spending most of my down time (which is not a lot) sleeping or getting ready for our upcoming trips. My goal for this weekend is to attempt to make a White Cheddar Souffle. Anyone have success with a souffle before? Or completely fail and want to give me tips on what not to do lol?


Au revoir!
