I spent this past weekend on the set of Father of the Bride. Come to think of it, it was also the set of Father of the Groom, Mother of the Bride, Mother of the Groom... Confused? Well so are the rest of us! My sister and brother are getting married this summer. (And No, not to eachother). My sister will be marrying her highschool sweetheart in 8 weeks and three days. And Only 2 months, 4 weeks, and 2 days after that my brother is marrying his college sweetheart. Our house is exploding with wedding talk! We eat dinner on top of stacks of bridal magazines, we refer to eachother in our bridal party names (maid of honor, groom 1, groom 2,...), we can't go grocery shopping without a registry, and we eat wedding cake samples for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. My dad has officially taken the role of George Banks. George Banks to hot dog buns is my Dad's equivalent to downgrading our family to drinking $5 bottles of White Zinfandel in order to make up for the expensives of the wedding. Somebody needs to set up videocamera and send a productions crew down to the Mech household because this summer's story is going to cake from the Banks family...wedding cake that is!

Two Weddings One Summer
"I use to think a wedding was a simple affair: boy and girl meet, he buys a ring, she buys a dress, they say 'I do.' I was wrong that's getting married a wedding is entirely different."-George Banks

Chicago.
I spent this weekend in Chicago and I returned to East Lansing feeling very much loved. I am so blessed to have sisters that I call my best friends. My sister Katie spent the whole weekend with me: going for walks, out to dinner, and making me laugh. She is so caring, I had to leave dinner early Friday night because I was not feeling well and she brought me back chicken vegetable soup just incase I got hungry again. Our family friend Emily spent the whole weekend with me. I love that it wasn't a question if she should or shouldn't hang out with us but just a fact because obviously we would want her there, like a sister. My best friend Katie and her boyfriend Matt spent a few hours traveling back and forth from Evanston to come visit me friday and saturday. They got their studying done so that they could come hang out with me. HOW THE HECK DO I GET TO HANG OUT WITH THE BEST PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH- people that make me laugh, think, and have faith. I love you all. Thanks for making me feel so special and letting me have you in my life.
Goal of the day: Make someone feel extremely special.
