Happy Occasions

YAY! Brilliant news today, my dear friends Mr and Ms Verve got engaged last night!!

WOoohoooo! I am so delighted for them! You see, I inadvertently introduced them both at my Engagement Bonfire three years ago on August 8, 2009. 

The funny thing is they could have met several months before. Ms Verve and I were on our company soccer team together. Since it was my one of my last games of the season and my dear friend Mr Verve had never seen me play he decided to come and watch. The below image is of them standing within three feet of each other on the endline. They didn't speak, didn't even realize the other existed in this moment. This was March 6th, a whole five months before they would officially meet.

Mr Verve and I met in college over a decade ago and through the wonders of myspace were able to reconnect when I moved out to LaLa Land. He and I were both Industrial Design majors at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. We met in a Environmental Design class that was being taught by his best friend's dad. I think our friendship was sealed when I ended up accidentally taking us off-roading on the way to one of our class assignments! Ms Verve and I worked together at two different companies. Although I think we truly bonded on the company soccer team. I adore her and couldn't be happier for them both! Congratualations guys!!!

From Start to Finish

I was reading back through my past posts and thought it was funny to see the difference between my original post about my wedding color scheme and what the final color scheme ended up being. Here's a look at them side by side.

OUR ORIGINAL COLOR SCHEME

OUR FINAL COLOR SCHEME

I really love the way our final choices came out! Don't you?

A New Year, A New Start

It's that time of year again when we resolve that THIS will be the year we __________.

My resolutions this year are a little different than my previous ones. Thanks to my KTG group I was able to set more realistic and slightly broader ones.

#1 Find My Creative Genius

#2 Treat My Body Like the Goddess She Is

#3 Become a Dance Instructor

Hopefully at the end of this year I will have some results for you and for me!

To beach or not to beach...

Since this week Sosuke is working really long and late hours we opted for me to meet him on his lunch break so that we could take a walk on the beach. Him being shut up indoors and staring at a computer for hours on end and me being stuck in the house waiting for phone calls for work coming in.

However after picking him up and driving for about 5 min towards the beach, we realized that the weather at the beach was going to be complete crap. So he suggested we detour and just take a walk in the park.

What started with playing on the swings ended with a quiet conversation simply sitting on a grassy knoll overlooking the baseball diamonds. It was actually a perfect time. When we are always either coming or going, or our quality time is the equivalent of sleep. We forget just how nice it is to sit with the one we love in the daylight fully awake and aware. Simply just enjoying that they are looking at you while you are looking at them. I guess in some ways it is a validification of the fact that we do indeed exist. That someone else is aware of it and treasures that existence.
