Feeling Good

Birds flying high you know how I feel

Sun in the sky you know how I feel

Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel

River running free you know how I feel

Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know

Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean

Sleep in peace when day is done

That's what I mean

And this old world is a new world

And a bold world

For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel

Scent of the pine you know how I feel

Oh freedom is mine

And I know how I feel

Two Years and Two Months to Go

I'm so ready to marry this guy. Let's do this thing.

Favorite Vendors!

I'm so happy to have met Amy and Mike Martz from Msquared Studios. Mike is a friend from high school that I reconnected with on Facebook and noticed him and his wife, Amy, doing all this amazing work!

By far, my favorite purchase.

Three Months to Go!

Wow. I can't believe it's coming up so soon. So much has happened over the course of our engagement.

A house for one thing.

Lucky, but busy. And broke.

The One.

Here comes the bride...

There are so many details to plan...

Getting married!

We got engaged late one night while we were away on our boat.

Tobin was so nervous and he couldn't find the ring box he had hid behind the tool box in a cabinet beside the bed.

So he put the toolbox on my lap.

After finding the ring, he realized it had fallen out of place in the box. By now I'd figured out what was going on so I was hyperventilating when he turned around and asked me to marry him.

I could barely get out the words, "Of course!"

So it begins...

We bought a boat!

Serenity Now.

It's been keeping us busy ever since.

Hockey Pucks and Love.

Would you say there is ever one moment when you fall in love? Or is it a series of moments over time? Does it continue or do you just maintain a level of loving someone once it has occured?


I will say that Tobin's love of hockey is exponential. I see it ignite and catch fire in him every time he plays or watches it or talks about it. It's one of the many things I love about him and when I see his big shit eating grin after the Caps score a goal I feel all warm inside and I know I love him more and more every single day.

Travel is work... Vacation is relaxing.

Fun, but scary.

Second date.

(this is a re-creation)

Tobin is one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life and I knew that within the first few days of meeting him.

First picture together.

Where do we go from here?

Our first date. We ate sushi and had awkward conversation at Jackson's Bistro in Tampa.

Followed by our first kiss in the parking garage.

Romantic.

In the beginning...

We were just two. I was standing outside the back door of Courigan's Irish Pub on a very, very windy St. Patrick's Day 2008. That's when Tobin walked up still dressed in his work clothes at one in the morning.

Later we fall in love, but I'll get to that...

Could it be the luck of the Irish/Jewish?
