South Africa, Denmark, China, Belgium, Israel, UK, Canada, Germany, and Turkey

I recently started using a new form of blogger that's really streamlined.  One of the pages I was oblivious to, until a couple of days ago, was my stats page.  Usually when I hear stats, I cringe and remember school.  In this case it's pretty neat. 

Apparently I have readers all over the world, I never knew.  I can't believe there are some out there reading about this random little blog which takes place in Edgewater, NJ.  AWESOME!  See not everyone from New Jersey lives like what's shown on the Jersey Shore, a lot do, but not everyone!

So... hello readers, I wish you well.  I hope that wherever you are, you are trying some of the recipes, DIYs, or perhaps planning your own wedding.  Please send me your blog (if you have one, and if you don't it's really cheap therapy) so that I may read what's going on in South Africa, China, Belgium, Israel, UK, Canada, Germany, Denmark and Turkey. 

*merhaba!
Wow Turkey, number two on the list, huh?!
A little fun fact about me... I have visited before, and It was a lovely experience.
*hello in turkish.



















What a powerful tool this interweb is.  It's something my generation takes for granted.  Rarely does anyone say "This is pretty swell."  Really now?  What do you own that can do all of the following;  buy anything, find a great scone recipe, learn how to apply winged eyeliner, aid in starting a revolution, is a resource for anything, and can get lost in just sitting... can your juicer do that?  Nope, mine can't either.

Happy surfing.

Reality break check.

I had a moment last Sunday.  After getting all gussied up my fiance and I started driving to Millbrook to take our pictures.  As we were commuting (for an hour and a half) it began to pour!  Bummer.  I was pissed to say the least, I never style my hair and now it's raining and we're heading there to take our engagement pictures...really?

As we were driving the conditions worsened,  a cautious driver I slowed significantly.  Another driver in the left lane apparently had super-see-through-the-pouring-rain- vision, lucky.  So they flew right by splashing my windshield to the point I couldn't see for a split, but seemingly eternal second.

I slammed on my breaks knowing there was a black car somewhere in front of us.  I felt my fiance's hand hold me across my stomach, as if that was going to save me in an accident.  Some how I stayed in our lane, and was able to regain vision and not hit the front car, which was further ahead in front than what it was a few minutes earlier.

We looked at each other shaken, but ok.
I felt really stupid, I made such a fuss over my hair, rain, and earlier traffic.  I looked at my fiance and we breathed together, I said thank you again to someone who I'm sure was listening.  Then I looked at Steve...NO SEAT BELT!!!  After a lecture about wearing and always wearing his seat belt.  We noticed that the sky was clearing up.

When we got there and it was perfect...I said a silent thank you.
Pictures are taken, we deliberated over which one and narrowed it down to two, which are both nice.  We will be deciding tonight and of course I will update you.

Ever find that you are freaking out over something so small, until a situation (or possible) one arises and puts you in perspective?  Reality break check.
