Happy Monday! Hope you were able to spend some time with family and friends this weekend. As I may have told you, my sister is getting married in the Fall. (!!!) I have been spending some time working with Julie recently looking for the perfect bridesmaids dress in the perfect color. It hasn't been easy, but it has been fun. How awesome are these photographs of beautiful bridal parties? xoxo.. Jessica

Was it love at first sight or shall I say love at first "online" site? Jodi and Stephen met online dating. Jodi knew the minute she saw Stephen's profile that they would fall in love. They had both tried online dating for years without much success until they found each other. Jodi describes her husband as kind and gentle and fiercely intelligent-- which she finds sexy. He regularly tells her and shows her how much he loves her through his words and actions(take notes boys). Not only does Stephen have a wicked sense of humor but he loves his job analyzing DNA and on his free time, he loves playing video games. It only makes sense that Jodi was able to find someone just as well rounded as herself. Jodi, luxurious yet practical is a high-powered business woman. The quick-witted beauty who loves to travel, eat at gourmet restaurants and read, found her someone special, to laugh about anything and everything in Stephen. In fact they even surprised their friends and family with an improv comedy troupe at their wedding. There wedding was filled with jokes and quotes from tv shows and movies. Suzanne was ecstatic to find out that they had in common a favorite tv show,"The Big Bang Theory" and a favorite musical "Avenue Q"! So for those feeling discouraged about the dating world, Jodi and Stephan are a testament to the fact that you can fall in love at first "online" site!
Hello all ! I'm sorry for such a late in the evening Monday post. This weekend I attended Coachella, a three day music festival in Indio, California. It was so wonderful dancing and listening to all of my favorite tracks all day and into the night, but the sun heated the valley to a warm 100 degrees each day. This powerful image found by Suzanne reminds me of course that life is beautiful, but also that even with most exciting adventures, not everything can be perfect. Suzanne was fortunate enough to see the Bicentennial in Venice, Italy a few years ago... below is one of the main works of art displayed at the acclaimed art show in 2011. Have a nice week! xoxo... Jessica
