*I still haven’t recovered from our crazy wedding weekend–probably because I’ve only gotten about 9 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours, I’m carrying around three extra pounds, and my feet still have blisters from walking around so much in heels. It was totally worth it though. *You may (or may not) be wondering …
Kayla and Sam
Oh man–you know what’s almost as great as you getting married yourself? Your best friend getting married. I’m just so happy for my best friend Kayla that I could almost pop. Plus I feel like Sam fits right in with our little group of friends, which is important because it means that now that she’s …
Mikey & Ashtin
Welcome to the weekend-of-weddings recap! The lovely couple you see above is Matt’s best friend Mike (who will heretofore be referred to as Mikey) and his beautiful bride Ashtin. (Funny story–because I have only recently begun to really get to know Mikey, I always had all these crazy ideas in my head about him. Every …

As you might already know, Matt’s mom Sherry is a brilliant watercolor artist, and she came up to stay with us …
Lyle & Ashley
The summer of weddings continued as on Friday, Matt and I had the chance to go to all the festivities of my cousin Lyle’s wedding (who, smart man–also married a teacher!). One of my favorite things? Ashley’s Dorothy-red shoes (check out the above picture!) One thing I love about weddings (which used to make me sick, …
To My Daddy
(My sister Hannah, Grandma Fedor, Me, and Dad) Dear Dad, Happy Father’s Day, and Happy Birthday! I feel like every year, your birthday falls on Father’s Day, but I guess that’s chronologically impossible. I think it’s appropriate that it often happens that way, though, because I know you were born to be my dad. You …
