Love Marriage

We missed strawberry picking by two days. TWO DAYS! If you know me, you know that strawberries are my favorite fruit. When one of the workers informed us that there were only cherries to be picked you can say that I was slightly disappointed. I dislike(d) cherries with a passion. But I decided since I was already there, I might as well pick for Sean since he likes cherries. It was such a fun activity to do. So relaxing and the beautiful scenes/views was the cherry on top (see what I did there?). Cinthia's mom and Evanni (Margaret's daughter) were eating the cherries as quickly as they were placing in their containers. But no worries, the owners actually encouraged us to eat as we picked. Me? Didn't try one. When I got home, I cleaned the cherries and placed in a glass container that way it would be easy for Sean to grab and snack on. I decided to let go of my very many years of dislike for cherries and give it a try one more time. Imagine my surprise when I tried a s...

It had been a little while since the three of us had gotten together as Margaret�s schedule is all over the place. It wasn�t until the day before that we actually made plans for the three of us to get lunch at The Bayou . The two of them were my first friends made in PA as we all worked together on the same team. Funny how they were both at my company before I arrived and now I�m the only one who remains. On this day, we also made plans to go strawberry picking which I'll blog about soon. I'm so behind on blog posts. The three of us always have the best time when we are together. The conversations are just so good and often have me in fits of laughter. They have brought so much to my life and I�m really glad to have them in it. With good conversations came an abundance of food that we were all too thrilled to box up to enjoy later. I still haven�t gotten Sean to check out this restaurant but I have a feeling that he�ll love it as much as I do. It�s becoming harder and ...

As many of you are aware, my little sister got married a few Saturdays ago. It was a very simple affair. A ceremony that only family members were invited to at their home church. Their reception was actually this last weekend which friends were invited to. They had no bridal party and no dress code whatsoever. To be honest, it did not surprise me because my sister has always done things differently. I liked the intimacy so much that I wish that I had thought of this for us. The whole big wedding thing just seems so overrated and overdone now. There's so much to be said for being able to forego the "glitz and glamour" and get married simply. My sister decided to get ready in my mom's bedroom. Her presence is still all around her bedroom so it almost felt like she was there with us. At one point, my sister took out one of my mom's favorite hats and placed it on her head and we couldn't help but wish she were really there. Ahhh, my dad. He truly is one...
