So there.

The weekend is officially over; I miss it already. This weekend I had the pleasure of attending a dear friend's wedding. I am beyond happy for her; she never fails to bring a smile, or a shot of tequila, to my lips. That's the kind of woman she is, so down to earth. During the ceremony, when things were getting a little serious, she flubbed a vow or two, providing the perfect amount of comedic relief and even had the pastor cracking jokes. I love moments like that. Real life, real love. Neither one needs perfection in order to be beautiful.

Look how handsome he is! Those eyes...*swoon*
 Too bad I couldn't center the photo!

Another not so perfect picture of us...I kinda like it.

The happy couple!
What a lovely family they make.

The groom's daughter, the flower girl, how adorable is she?

First dance
He loves her so.

Happy Monday, everybody! Let's make it a great week.

Baby, You and I

Really diggin' this tune right now. Most likely due to the Nebraska shout out and the fact that it's such a different style for her. I love my cool Nebraska guy, too.

Hope you're all having a great evening and safe and sound. It's a crazy world out there, folks. Natural disasters and terroristic threats abound. Josh and I are cozied up on the couch after a great workout at the boxing gym watching Craig Ferguson on CBS. What is your nightly ritual?

Oh, and by the way...

I just want you all to know that I just chipped a tooth on a piece of SUSHI. I don't know who, I don't know where, but I must have done something to somebody to deserve this awful karma. OVER it. Who wants to donate to the "Vanessa needs to fix her car/computer/tooth/relationship/life" fund?

I heart the zoo!

Last weekend Josh & I drove to Omaha with his mother, Dixie, to the Henry Doorly Zoo. The weather was perfect! A day at the zoo was a great change of pace from our usual weekend activities (read: lay around the house and do nothing because it's too hot to commit to an entire day of being outside).

Did you know my name means butterfly in Hebrew?
I've always loved them!

another beautiful butterfly

I think this guy is so cool.
He seemed to be studying the zoo patrons just as much as we were studying him.

Begging for peanuts. 

No photo editing needed for this one.
The Lord makes animals in the most beautiful of colors.

The Aquarium is by far my favorite place.
I could stay there all day.

I didn't capture a very high quality photo of this guy.
I didn't take very many pictures in the aquarium because I was too busy enjoying it!

The object of my affection.

yup. matching sunglasses.

In short, if you are in the area and have not yet visited the Henry Doorly Zoo, it is well worth the drive and the $13 admission. Every mile a memory.

Breaking up is hard to do

Love this song. Hate that I understand the lyrics in a way I never could before. Emo post, much? Sorry all, that's where I am at the moment. Enjoy the music.
