Breathless

This is going to be an AWESOME post.

FIRST, my younger sister graduated from college this weekend. WAY TO GO SEESTER!

I decided to stop worrying about a gift and just got her a Target giftcard. She bought herself the shoes she wore when she walked across the stage to get her diploma. I consider that gift-giving process to be a great success.

The whole family came (minus Brother Bear, who sucks. Still love him though.) and this is how the weekend went: family member arrives, convene, eat. family member arrives, convene, eat. graduation. nap. family friend arrives, convene, eat. family member arrives, nap, convene, eat. I am so full and I have enough leftovers in my fridge that I'm not cooking or grocery shopping all week. And once I run out of food, operation detox begins.

I want to wish my seester good luck finding a job. Seriously.


SECOND.

California, you were once just temporary. Now you are home-sweet-home.

That's right folks - we're staying in LA. D's company stepped up to the plate and made him a job offer (and an honest man) last week, both of which he accepted on Monday. He has a freakin' sweet new title and a sweet new raise and we are THRILLED about how this worked out. We love being so close to home and (though I hate to say it) we both have ended up really enjoying LA. I still hate the Lakers though.

The only bad news is that our little luxurious life out here comes to an end on July 1st - see ya free rent and free car. Hello massive debt (hopefully!) (its a little twisted how excited I am about this) and the American Dream.


THIRD

I made some resolutions at the beginning of the year. Two, to be exact. Well, we're just about halfway through the year and I'm super excited to say that I have one of those resolutions checked off my list.

There are still a lot of information to process and decisions to be made sooooooooo I'm not going in to details, except that it does not involve precious stones but it does involve funny hats.


FOURTH

My life is awesome. Seriously, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I have an amazingly dyfunctional family who I love with every little piece of my heart. I have a handful of really really amazing friends who I trust with my life. I have a great relationship with a wonderfully quirky man who understands me and doesn't understand me all at the same time but loves me in the most complete and irrational way. And I love him back. I have so much behind me and so so so much within me and even more in front of me and I can't wait to see what the next hour, day, week, month, year, decade, and lifetime hold. I'm ready :)
