I Challenge YOU!

Today I posted this as my FaceBook status: 

I would like to issue a challenge. A challenge to EVERYONE on the west coast who participated in the ‪#‎iceBucketChallenge‬: don't wash your car for 6 months. When it's dusty, tag it with ‪#‎SaveOurWater‬. Don't live on the west coast and want to participate? Don't buy bottled water from companies who use our dwindling resources to ship out of our drought stricken states. ‪#‎SaveCalifornia‬ ‪#‎conserveourwater‬ we have about 1.5 years left of water and then I have no clue where we'll be getting water from. Can't live without a clean car? Cut down to watering your lawn to 3x a week instead of every day. There are so many ways to conserve! Let's help our coast out! West coast is best coast! I know you can do it!

California is facing a severe drought and I'd like to do my part into conserving as much as I can and help raise awareness so that others can conserve as well.  The little things do count!  Any way you can help with this drought, comment below!  Let's work together and SAVE CALIFORNIA! 

I've lived in California for 27 years and this is my home.  I love my home, so I will do what I can to #SaveCA Let's be a #DroughtHero together!

Goodness, I got married a little over 3 months ago, and it's crazy to think that time has flown by so fast!
That day flew by with a blink of an eye, and makes me really wish I had Evie's powers from Out of This World, just so I could stop time and take it all in and not have it so rushed!

The day was perfect.  I was marrying my best friend, it could have been a torrential rain storm or a tornado happening... It still would have been perfect because I knew that that day, I was marrying my other half.  It started off being really windy, which my bridesmaid / hairdresser made sure to SUPER hairspray all of us so that it would last through the wind. However, when I stepped outside in my dress to do my first look, the wind completely died down, and there was not a cloud in the sky.  Thank you universe for having my back!

During the ceremony, I was a complete mess.  I cried I think at every moment.  When I got up to the alter, when we did a special moment of looking at the guests to thank them for being there and sharing this day with us, reading our vows... Oh bother.  Thank goodness for that primer, and makeup spray we lathered our faces with.

Anyhow, the thing people have been waiting for: Pictures.  I've FINALLY gotten around to going through the lot of pictures and compiling them all to one place.

Hope you enjoy, we sure did. =)
