Shady as a lady in a mustache.
How it is that I've found myself in a mustache multiple times since July is beyond me. But holy hell you should have heard me laugh when I realized I have several photos, on several different occasions with the same theme.
Mustaches.
And let's not forget the archived mustaches.

Feb Photo a Day! Booyeah.
So…there is this little thing called Instagram for iPhones (and rumor has it, soon Droids, too!) and on this there Instagram, there was this little thing called January Photo a Day where they assign a photo challenge to each day. Jaime participated in January Photo a Day, and recapped her sweet pictures on her blog!

http://southonbroadway.blogspot.com/2012/01/photo-day-challenge-its-wrap.html
When January was starting to wrap up, and the new February Photo a Day was buzzing around Instagram, Mary says to me – and I quote “Oh #$!@, there is a Feb photo challenge, too! God save us all.” I wanted to give the photo challenge a shot, but decided against posting it daily on Instagram (you are welcome, Mary!), so I’m going to use Jaime as my inspiration and just post them all on my blog! I wanted to post the photos one week at a time, but the first week of it ended while I was in ND and I didn’t have time to write out a post about it. So here is February 1-14!
{ day one } Your view today.
View from my office window!
{ day two } Words.
A picture I text to Hunter. :-)
{ day three } Hands.
Working in Illustrator using my shortcut key commands!
{ day four } A stranger.
Ashton Kutcher in Friends with Benefits.
{ day five } 10am.
Looking out the window while on the treadmill at the gym!
{ day six } Dinner.
At Pizza Fusion with my sweet Jaime!
{ day seven } Button.
Part of the decoration on Hunter’s Valentine’s Day gift!
{ day eight } Sun.
The reflection of the sun in my grandmother’s kitchen!
{ day nine } Front Door.
The front door to the church where my cousin got married! It was late at night and I was going there for rehearsal, so my apologies for the dark photo.
{ day ten } Self Portrait.
My mom and I at the wedding dance yuking it up with some mustaches.
{ day eleven } Makes you happy.
Watching my dad shuffle cards!!! Always makes me laugh.
{ day twelve } Inside your closet.
A kitty! What else?
{ day thirteen } Blue.
The sky from my walk downtown over lunch!
{ day fourteen } Heart.
The breakfast I made for Hunter this morning. Awwe.
I’m excited to share with you 15-29! It’s not too late to join, either – I’d love to see some snapshots of your February!
And happy Love Day, everyone! I'll be back with photos and stories from Hunt and my celebration last night as he has to work tonight. xo

Dang you Christmas night. .
Many many posts ago, I talked about that feeling I would get every Christmas night as a child. Filled with sadness and feeling so consumed with the sad feelings of Christmas being over. Reliving every part of the day over in my mind as to not forget any part of that magical day. I am 300% consumed with that feeling right this second. My dad sleeping on a twin bed 4 feet from me. Me, laying on an air matters next to a clunky heater in my grandma's half unfinished basement waiting for my mom to get home from Wine Night with her long distance best friends. My aunt down the hall with the light seeping through under the door. Grandma upstairs. Uncle upstairs. I want to rewind and relive every single second since Wednesday. Every single hug. Smile. Tear. Memory. This weekend has been one of the most magical, filled with memories and built off love weekends I've had in years and I really could not be more blessed.
Now that I have that off my chest, I'm off to fall asleep to my dad snoring while I wait to hear my mom walk down the stairs, all with a giant smile on my face as I remember everything we've been blessed with this weekend.
I don't want to post too many pictures without writing up the appro stories yet, but I do have to share example 1 of 353,492 of how my mom and her siblings tease my Grandmother 24/7. This example is of my mom and her sister who dressed up in grandma's clothes before breakfast, while saying "What?! We dress fancy to eat."
Meanwhile, my Grandma is cursing under her breath and going about her business pretending like nothing is going on.

HIIIIII'YA BECKY!
{ Please note, my brain is 200% mush right now, so if none of this makes sense...just pretend it does. Capish? }
I woke up this morning at about 5a, with this song in my head
which is so serendipitous because though I'M not going to the chapel to get married, I am going to the airport to get on a plane, to get to Bismarck to go to Dickinson to watch my COUSIN get married!!
Basically word for word the song. And basically our bridesmaids dresses are what they are wearing in the video.
Jokes.
I would also like to share with you the third instillment of Momma's Got Game:
{Sent to me on Monday}
In 3 more sleeps
I be seein my pepes
Gon be a wedin'
Up nort we be headin'
Dey makin' dat "red eye"
Common sense go bye-bye
Look out Dickinson
De Kollings is fixin
To show dem wooses
Don't mess with us'es.
Sidenote:
I will never forget when I went back for my sweet girlfriend Shaneille's wedding. I was at work and Neil and I were texting about the Red Eye they were making, and I posed the question to my coworkers:
"Do you guys know what Red Eye is?"
These were my three responses:
"It's a midnight flight."
"It's a movie."
"It's what happens to your eyes in some bad pictures."
No no friends. THIS is Red Eye.
It's basically flavored Everclear that gets passed around during wedding receptions. Google "Red Eye; wedding schnapps" and you will get many many a recipes for it.

| Hi Shaneille!!! |

Yup. We know how to have fun.
I just KNOW I have a pix of my family taking Red Eye shots at my cousin's wedding this past summer, I just can't find it right this second. Stay tuned.
ANYHOODLE. Here I sit at my gate, drinking my coffee, and wishing beyond all wishes I had remembered headphones.
I went to bed a little after 2a, and woke up just a smidge after 5a. To say I'm tired would be a gross understatement. Like I told Hunter, I envision a huge crash in my near future. Let's hope I make it to the plane first.
BUT. All this last minute running around, errands, packing, crafting, loss of sleep is SURE to be worth it when I get to Dix and am surrounded by all my favorite people in life. My family! I can't really start talking about how much this wedding means to me, and further how much it means to be asked to be Beck's Maid of Honor. I've been just an emotional puddle lately, and I fear they wouldn't let me on the plane if I started my breakdown now. I really am so blessed to have Beck in my life and by my side as my friend, my cousin, my "I need to text someone about where I put my fruit sticker right this very second" go to person. She's da bomb.
See the 1st and 2nd instillation of Momma Got Game here and here.

| This picture makes me uncontrollably happy. She always had to be in the middle. ; ) |
 |
| This is probably one of my most favorite pictures to date. The quality stinks, but I literally HEAR all the giggles going on in this picture. Including the one from my dad who is behind the camera. I love you, Beck!!!! See you in a few hourssssssssssssssssssssss. |

Thank you card:
Dear Snow,
Though you've probably caused some Coloradian's much disgust and frustrations over the past few days, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you.
Thank you for giving us all here in the 303/720 enough heads up so we could stock up on food and coffee right before your arrival. Thank you for coating the roads juuuuuust enough to make it questionable to drive on, therefore closing work on Friday. I had the greatest day tucked away in my tiny attic apartment, cuddling my cat, drinking coffee for days, enjoying some laid back tunes and getting work done. Be it work work, freelance work, or fun work - I had time for it all. Thank you for allowing me to snuggle up with my boi EXTRA tight to stay warm, and for giving me an excuse to wear my favorite winter har of his all day Saturday. Thank you for not only providing the opportunity for said boi to spend some time helping get a stranger unstuck on his street, but also for the 45 minute snowball fight that took place in their front yard. It was hilarious to watch those two playing around and telling stories of sledding, fort building and snowball throwing dating back to kindergarten. Thank you for putting enough snow surrounding Mary's car so we had the chance to go and get her unstuck. Even if it was for a few minutes, I'll never pass up an opportunity for a quick hug and giggle with my Mary. Thanks for letting Hunt and I think we had enough motivation to go sledding, when really we made a phenomenal dinner and cuddled up to watched a movie. Thank you for letting the temps be slightly cold enough that after my morning workout today, I had no desire to leave my apartment, rather spent hours working on my daunting to-do list. I can't even tell you how much I got accomplished today!
It really always is a joy getting to spend a weekend with you...though I've heard rumors of you coming back again {So soon, Snow?!} in the next 24 hours. Really, that's ok just so long as you don't mess up my flight into ND on Wed. Because if you do....I'll have to whoop some ass.
Fondly yours.
BAS.

24 inches my butt.
The snow that the entire state of Colorado has been obsessing over for the las 24 hours has finally made it. Admittedly, I'm a little disappointed in the amount of snow...they were talking hot shot numbers like 22inches or 24inches by Saturday...and I think we got 8 so far. Granted it will continue snowing all day, so fingers crossed! Regardless I have a hot date tomorrow that includes a nurse, sled and a hillside. Jealous?!
How am I spending this day you ask? Well I actually have a plate full of work that I need to actually work on....boo! But I'll be a much happier Beth doing it from my bed with my kitty by my side than at my desk!
Our friend Jimmy sends out Friday Jams each week, and I'm actually digging this week's tune.

Right?! Last week was Brett Dennen who Mary and I actually saw live a few months back!
I'm not going to give Jimmy too much credit though, because 80% of the other weeks it was
The last one he calls his personal mantra. Yeah. Ok Jimmy...
ANYWAY - what is your ideal way to spend a snow day?!
Check out Mary and Oliver's morning!

Hap eee ness.
This week, happiness to me means...:
Waking up tomorrow and starting the WEEK countdown to my cousin's wedding! {This is more important to me than just a little blurb on this list, so more on it later.}
Creating memories with Hunt in the kitchen. One of my favorite places to spend with him.
Eating an orange with the stem still on it from my parents orange tree!
Opening my bathroom cabinet and seeing one of the notes my mom hides for me.
New fab recipes.
Beautiful dinner parties with favorite friends!
Dreaming big and business planning with Mary.
Tiny boxes on my doorstep filled with love and packed with surprises.
Kitty cuddles. Enough said.
Lemon water with one of my parents fresh lemons!
Early morning breakfast dates with my very favorite, yet vert tired nurse.
Michael's bag filled with fixings for the most perfect homemade gifts. : >
What made your week filled with happy?!
