Congratulations Leah & Jon!!

Last week I went to San Francisco and then drove up to Napa for the wedding of one of my oldest and very best friends.  Leah and I met when we were freshman in college where we formed a friendship so close we became part of each others family.  She and I have gone through so much together, we know so much about one another, and she and Jon are going to have the most wonderful life together.  I love them both so much and I am sooooo happy for them!!

The wedding was set on 148 acres of land at a friend's family home.  Jon and Leah have an amazing group of extremely talented friends who volunteered to help with food, music, and photography, which made the lavish party extra special. 

Joni nervous about her flower girl role.

I Would Drive 500 Miles

I had a freaking whirlwind of a weekend.  I believe I drove about 700 miles this weekend.  Left Beacon Saturday morning, went to a family party in the north part of Massachusetts, went to Shrewsbury to catch up with my BFF Allyson so we could talk details about her upcoming wedding, then Sunday morning I drove back to Beacon to wrap up a few things before heading down to Brooklyn for WORD's Momma Said event. 

Why was it worth a 3 hours round trip to go to Brooklyn for 2 hours?

Check out her new earrings.  Love.

Packed house!

So packed people were forced to sit in mini chairs.

Hudson Valley Hotspots

A couple weekends ago my friend Chelsea (now living in San Francisco) came up to visit us in Beacon. We only had a couple days to fit in all the sites, but managed to hit all the hot spots...even a quickie visit to DIA: Beacon before we treated ourselves to a trip to Target.

What visit would be complete without a trip to Southern Dutchess Bowl?

Walkway Over the Hudson - 212 ft in the air.

Guess who's tired?  This guy!

Congratulations to Margot & Matt!!!

This weekend Matt proposed to Margot!!!  This was a day we've all been waiting for since they magically found each other 6 years ago.   I couldn't be more excited for them, and it makes me so happy to see them so happy.

Last night they hosted an engagement party at their apartment.  I forgot my camera, but I think my iPhone was still able to capture the happiness.

I'm also really loving that me, Colleen & Margot are all engaged at the same time.  It's so awesome!!!

What Happens In Vegas....Uh, Ends Up on My Blog

Brain. Not. Working.

I just got back from a 4 day trip to Las Vegas for my best friend Leah's bachelorette party. This was my first trip to Vegas and thanks to Leah and her friends it ended up being an insane trip.  Leah lives in LA so we don't see each other very often and this was a much needed quality time to spend together.

Donny and Marie like to keep an eye on The Strip.

We were lucky that a couple of her friends had crazy hook-ups and were able to get us a massive suite at Planet Hollywood, VIP service at the clubs, and dinners at Nobu and Enoteca San Marco.  I am still wrapping my head around all the fun we had as we pranced around like rock stars.

Our suite - we also had 2 adjoining bedrooms.  We trashed the place minute within the hour.

Our view from the suite.

Our second course at Nobu - toro with white asparagus, truffles and olive oil & balsamic

Saturday night we went to Blush at the Wynn and danced for hours.

There was at pin-up girl contest at Blush.

Tao Beach at The Venetian.

Our table at Prive at Planet Hollywood - this probably explains why my brain is mush.
