almost a year ago i stood by my bestie’s side as she become a mrs.
today, i’ll be standing at the finish line as she becomes a triathlete.
SO proud of her.
…next year: ???
engaging.
i went to an engagement party recently & for the first time in a long time i was struck by wonder at how perfect this particular couple is for each other. it’s rare to find someone you can tolerate on a regular basis, but seeing what these two share was beyond inspiring…i feel special and honored to be a part of their circle in this exciting time.
they are without a doubt, two of the most hilarious people i’ve ever been around. and they completely balance that out with their unwavering loyalty & completely solid foundation. it’s endearing.
i am positive they’ll keep each other on their toes & laughing throughout the years. and i’m thrilled that two special people have found an equally special partner.
i am well aware i’m getting waaaay ahead of myself, but i’m already completely obsessed with their unborn children.
a big heartfelt congrats to my lovely friend.
first things first though, convincing her it’s necessary to have me in a tutu pirouetting down the aisle at her wedding…
smarts are sexy.
as a self-proclaimed book nerd i am unable to date a guy who is unable to match wits or carry on a stimulating conversation.
even if a guy is drop-dead gorgeous ~ if he is unable to engage his brain, i’m immediately uninterested.
some girls are into cars, looks, money, or power, but for me ~ it’s alllll about the brains, baby.
since i started dating boys, i’ve had a vision of a guy that i could sit up with late at night and enjoy scintillating conversations. and that’s my #1 fantasy with my mr. forever. sure, i imagine exotic travels, a marriage, and maybe some littles…but none of those could happen if he wasn’t brainy. and when a boy can string together a sentence ~ i melt.
i was with a group of girls the other night and one of them was describing a male friend, as different girls floated in and out of the conversation they all asked the same thing ‘is he hot?’ whereas i asked ‘is he smart?’ ~ they all looked at me like i had 3 heads.
can you imagine how smart i’d be then?!
mustard waffle fries, pound signs, and girl talk.
it doesn’t seem right that the english language only has one word for ‘love.’
i just spent 5 days including two 8+ hour road trips with my beautiful and hilarious best friend and no less than 30 minutes after being away from her, i already missed her.
when we pulled up at her place last night her husband said ‘i bet you’re so sick of each other’ and all i thought was ‘nope. i’d jump back in the car and do it all over again.’ and i would.
she’s the best.
and so was the weekend we just had.
everyone i’ve talked to complains about the drive from sd to sf…and yet i had a blast – both ways. even stuck in traffic: interpretive dancing, storytelling, almost knocking each other out, spy missions to visit another bestie at work, musical exploration, sharing pilot duties, entertaining other cars on the road, narrowly escaping phone/texting laws as a passenger (it was NOT a coincidence 😉 ), discussing the logistics of wetsuits and how airtight they are, ssschhinging along with our bessschht liisshppshh, saving $$ for lisshp shhurgery, not letting friends live on ramen, and making plansshh with musshtard sshhtan…
i’m sad that it’s over and yet so happy and grateful that my friends are so amazing.
love my friends. love my life.
love love.
…back to the grind with a happy heart.
hump day.
i was recently driving a rental car and pulled up next to my boy bestie. i was staring at him & smiling, but not waving. i knew he didn’t recognize me yet since i was in a random car. i watched him go into full flirt mode as he smiled at me and leaned back to puff out his manly chest then i watched the wave of recognition wash over him. it was a special moment to see him snap out of his ‘laying it on thick’ eyes and yell ‘oh shit!’
i love that he thought there’d be some girl trying to flirt on him prior to 9am. on a weekday.
he’s so cute.
