It's not always going to be perfect, and thanks girls.

This morning I had some much needed girl time. I met up with Murph and Sundee and we went to Starbucks. We were going to hike but instead we decided to do some window shopping on Melrose. John and I have been a little annoyed with each other lately. I am starting to realize he is not perfect and neither am I. It was just what I needed some girl talk, I vented out all my fustrations and they understood where I was coming from like only another woman could. So I am learning slowly but surely.

Sneak Peek



This morning I woke up at 8:45, which really felt like 9:45(woo woo for me) cause of day light savings; and I was immediately on the go. Since Monday I have been trying to start my save the date cards, but I have been babysitting non-stop because the family I work for, the dad's show started production in New Mexico and the mom was cast as a regular character. The show is In Plain Sight on USA, and by the way, you can see John in the opening credits. So I have been doing school pick-ups and ballet rehearsals for the Nutcracker, packing lunches, making sure there aren't too many white spots in the salami, and searching for lost blankies non-stop. I am not complaining this is a blessing, this allows me to have a little bit more freedom with the wedding, nothing extravagant, no ice sculptures here, but breathing room. So I have had this idea for the save the dates, not gonna let you see them yet, but I will show you some of the creative process. This morning I went to Micheal's craft store and got some wood, paint and glue, rushed home cause I had to make some signs and get ready for the picture. I didn't have all day cause I had to go to work at three, but I was determined to get step one and two done by today! I could not have gotten this done without John, as soon as I got home I woke him up and put him straight to work. He was in charge of painting the letters, cause the day before I got a manicure after work and I did not want to ruin it for the photos. In return I made him a Greek salad.(Re- I will also post the recipe for Greek salad just for you) I am so excited how this little project turned out I can't wait to show you all! Hold on though, my day got better, when I came home John had surprised me by cleaning the house. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but do I know how to pick them. THANK YOU JOHN FOR BEING SO THOUGHTFUL ALL THE TIME, LOVE YOU! We had so much fun today and you will see what I mean when you get them in the mail.

GREEK SALAD

2 ripe juicy tomatoes(I like on the vine)
2 cucumbers(I like persian but any will do)
1-2 tbls. extra virgin olive oil
