You know that when two people say their vows in front of their closest friends and family and refer to each other as “Kira Bira Boo Boo Bear and my Tall Fuzzy Man Peach”  that they are in it for the long haul.  Such is the case for these two lovebirds below, my boyfriend’s brother Luke and his new wife Kira.  They have to be the most loving, light-hearted couple I’ve ever met and I was lucky enough to spend their wedding weekend with them in Atlanta, Georgia.  How cute are they?! 

Their wedding was uniquely their own and the bad weather stopped just in time for the new couple to enjoy their very special day. 

The weekend ended up being perfect.  I got to spend time with my Dad, Step-Mom, and our sweet Jack Russell, Zoey (who is currently working on her doggy altoid regimen) and my mom and Step-Dad.  As you always hear me say, it gets harder and harder to leave my family every single time I visit.  I just love them so much.  Oh! if I could get your prayers, my sweet dog Sophia has a mass underneath her arm… my momma discovered it as she was giving her a good ole tummy rub… and now she’s scheduled to have surgery on it Friday.  Please pray that she makes it out safely and that it will only be a random mass and nothing else.  Thank you : )

On the flight home, Aaron and I had a little bit of a scare… incredibly bad turbulence.  Aside from wanting to curl up into Aaron’s lap like a small child and cry, I discovered that I have incredible hand strength and that I clam up like Clammy McClamerson when I get nervous.  I was thinking to myself how nice it would be not to have to get on a plane for a while (I was so nervous, my hands were shaking) but then I remembered Aaron and I start our long awaited vacation this Saturday! Talking about what we would like to do and all of the places we could go helped me calm down a little.  And wouldn’t you know it… as soon as we got off the plane and back into Philly, people were talking about a potential Snow Storm…. Gotta love Philly. In March.  And this is what we woke up to.

Needless to say, St. Maarten can’t come at a better time!  We’re staying on the Dutch side, in Simpson Bay, but are looking forward to spending time on the French side, as well as visiting the Islands Saba and St. Barth’s.  If you have any suggestions please find me on my facebook or here. Thank you!

There are a few things I have to do to get ready for vaca… can you guess?  For me, it’s Nails and Self Tanner.  Which color nail polish do you like best?  I’m going through a Julep phase these days and all of these colors are available on qvc.com.

This week on PM Style, one of my favorite products from It Cosmetics, Bye Bye Redness will be in the show.  As someone who doesn’t have a lick of color in her skin, I appreciate that this not only covers the splotchyness that can sometimes happen to my face- but that it breathes a little more life into by giving me a hint of color and clean slate to work with. 

I’ll also be celebrating the would-be spring time here in Philadelphia with Isaac’s new Floral Cardigan… I mean it has to eventually warm up right?! 

Have a wonderful week and I will talk to you all very soon!
