Felicitaciones!

I have been recovering from my long weekend in Florida celebrating Tasha and Juan Pablo's (JP) wedding! I had such a wonderful time and it was hard to leave. It was so fun to bring together lots of families, cultures, and friends! JP's family traveled from Argentina and Peru and all the other guests were from all over the country. Tasha and I spoke about how unique it was going to be to have everyone important their lives in one room. It was truly an honor to be involved in their wedding day. To me, Tasha is like a sister and I am so glad she is married to a man whom we all adore. Congratulations and lots of love to you both!

The same darn bird that hangs out at the hotel is still there from May when he terrorized all of us on the patio each day! It was raining that morning and he was not happy, so he stood outside the door. (I must admit, I was a bit happy to see the little annoying guy again.)

John and I at the "Welcoming Dinner" with all the guests!

Mandy and I being sassy, post getting our make-up done (sans the nasty lip stuff - that came later).

Aren't they beautiful?
