giving thanks

I'm going to try and start a new series called giving thanks. The series will include things I'm particularly thankful for or things that just made me smile/happy on that given day.
1. The vase of tulips awaiting for me when I got home.
2. and the fact that I have a loving husband who gets a huge joy out of celebrating monthly anniversaries.
3. My best friend, and M.O.H., got engaged!
4. Knowing that I can go to work everyday and have a good few laughs with my co-workers.

Thanks to Jess of Project: 10K Wedding and Ellie of Vintage Victuals for awarding my blog - sexy blogger award and a friends award.

Head on over to their blogs for some awesomeness.

Check out this cool wedding at Dylan's Candy Bar in New York.

On April 5, the couple was escorted by their three boys down an aisle lined with lollipop trees at Dylan’s Candy Bar in New York. The bride wore a borrowed dress made of candy wrappers that was designed for “Project Runway.” Rabbi Douglas Sagal then led them in their vows beneath a wedding canopy of giant Whirly Pops and candy-colored balloons.

Their 50 guests dined on peanut butter and jelly tarts and candy sushi (coconut rice, Swedish Fish and Fruit Roll-Ups) while the couple danced to “Sugar, Sugar.”

How fun!

an anniversary

Today is my mom's three year wedding anniversary to her husband Charlie.
[[my bro, my sis, me, my mom, and charlie]]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

honeymoon: the arboretum

On Thursday we went to the NC Arboretum. This place is really amazing - 434 acres of land full of many conservation development projects and studies. They have permeable parking lots, 'green' roofs, and recycling systems for all their water - rain water too!

They offered segway tours of the property...so who could pass that up?

We had about 45 minutes of videos and one-on-one instruction before the tour began. Learning to ride the segway was pretty easy. It's all based on your center of balance (your belly button). The segway takes about 100 reading per second and moves where your belly button moves. It's really easy once you get used to it.

This was a fun way to wrap up our nice and relaxing honeymoon. We'll definitely be back to visit again.
