C’est la vie

It’s been a crazy, fabulous, ridiculous, stressful, exciting, reminiscent, tiring week. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This week’s recap in lessons learned.

1. You can sleep when your dead.

2. One text/phone call/email can make the world of a difference to someone.

3. Sometimes reconnecting with old friends is exactly what you need.

4. Whether people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime, cherish each of them.

5. A sunday dinner, whether with a big family or a lone newlywed couple, is the perfect way to start a week.

6. Risk it all and just say yes.

7. It’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed. *truly a life motto

8. Best friends are for life, no matter what gets in the way.
