As embarrassed as I am to have had this 6 months hiatus, I do have my reasons:
My ultimate dream wedding was 3 weeks ago, and as I sit and reminisce about the last 21 days my mind goes blank. There are hints of white peonies and orchids, Swarovski crystals, chandeliers, and champagne, combined with mile-high kir royals, Bruchetta, Italian wine, Gondolas and Portofino memories.
And then it sunk in... i am a wife.

It's a hard thought to get used to, especially because I have since moved from my native Orange County to sunny Santa Barbara. The days of driving 20 minutes to get to South Coast Plaza have been traded for 4 minute drives down the mesa to State Steet. It's an amazing new chapter in my life and I have a lot to get used to. In the mean time, here are some things making me feel at home in a new city:
