Pizza Pizza!

This weekend, I decided to make a pizza from scratch (with help of course) and let me tell you...I was surprised by how delicious it turned out and how easy it was to make!  Everyone should make their own pizzas so that they can eat it guilt free!  I had four delicious slices measuring at approximately 150 calories each!  I can't wait to make it again!

Prepping the crust - this was my responsibility

Sauce is ready to go - yummy!

Into the oven it goes!

Masterpiece completed!

An East Coast Getaway

I spent a few days in New York and Philly this past weekend and had the most amazing time.  I really love my good friend D and am so grateful to be able to see her a couple times a year even though we live so far apart.  We stayed at the amazing W in Times Square in New York - what a great hotel!  The best part about it was that the weekend was entirely free thanks to Starwood free nights - woohoo!  What else did we do?

Ferry ride to Camden for the Jack Johnson concert!

@ the Jack Johnson concert

...which was AMAZING!  I couldn't have asked for a better evening.  A cool summer breeze on a warm summer night, fireworks in the background, a beautiful sunset, wonderful company, and listening to Jack Johnson live.  Moments like these make me happy to be alive.

Exquisite. Stunning. Beautiful.

Even these three words do not do one of my dearest friends justice in describing her as a bride and of her wedding day.  This past weekend, Q&A finally tied the knot!  From the bride's dresses to the venue to the recitation of a heartfelt poem written by the groom to the day-of video montage, words alone cannot describe how amazing and touching everything about their special day was.  I find myself searching for words to describe how grand the day was, and because I'm at a loss [for words], I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Saying their thank you's at the end of the night!

I had the amazing honor of singing during the Processional and for the couple's first dance.  Thank you Can, for capturing this video for me!
