Thriving. Living. Loving.

Our weekend was pretty uneventful. Except for Friday night.  Where we sat among the six-pack.  Dining on Russ' ever so popular--whateverhecooksissoamazing- Early night in, and early morning back up and at it.  We worked a little Saturday.
Soon enough there would be text messages rolling back and forth between us and our babies...
These next chapters include friends getting married...

And so it begins....3 weddings for them this month.

Look at them---

On the way to the first wedding....

Cheers to you!

 I guess we passed them on the Seal Beach Blvd exit....


I always think God sends Angels over us, because sometimes in midst of my constant worry.....I receive little reminders that "Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright"-----


 Jason And Lauren Milnes-  May the goodness of marriage bless you for many years to come. As I mentioned to them, hold on tight, make date nights a priority, and learn to accept "for better and for worse"


 You guys.....look at them. LOOK AT MY BIRDIE! Jenny so gorgeous! 

While they were dancing the night away, my other sweet bird was up in the mountains of Big Bear with her sorority.  Bill recently asked what goes on in her "Retreat"-  It's bonding.  It's discussions. It's opening up in a room full of sorority sisters, about life.  About heartbreak.  Family.  Things. Bonding in philanthropy for Domestic violence awareness, prevention and education. It's about sitting in a cabin next to new girls, opening up about their deepest secrets.  Fears. Weakness. Learning, and proving that no matter what, their soul sister bond will be ingrained for not only this chapter, but many many more to come. Holding Symbols and Traditions a priority.  Not just through college. Interesting on this particular retreat they shared a cabin with a newer member. If you remember a few months back while at a meeting Kali experienced a sister fall down in a Gran-maul Seizure.  Something new that shook her to the core.  
Months later she'd be in a cabin with her.  Sitting full circle listening to her story.  Watching her take her meds.  Learning what to do in case of an episode...etc. 
We chatted yesterday about how wild things are placed in front of you.  

This sweet girl.  The ripe age of 19.  Suffering hard core seizures.  Her story so incredible. 
To know she has her sorority sisters surrounding her.  

LOVE.      












 I mean, you blink and they're grown women....
Alpha Chi Omega-  As it stands-  REAL. STRONG. WOMEN.   


How was your weekend? I roasted a chicken on Sunday, tossing sliced organic oranges underneath...stuffing the inside with fresh rosemary....talk about delish! The house smelt divine!

HaHa!  Big ol' chicken for two people..
left overs for dayzzzzz.....


Happy Tuesday....you've made it so far!

Love, Peace and Blessings-
