This is me...I am smiling because I am very excited about our weekend plans & the gorgeous weather! Almost 80*!!! For starters, Steve's mom is in town...she came back w/ Steve & his brother Matt from Buffalo, NY the other night...She will be here until Sunday, sooo that will be nice! Here is what we've got going on...FRI: Shopping @ Burlington Coat Factory, dinner & then off to the Sheraton Providence hotel to show Cyndi our wedding reception site! Hopefully we will get to show her our church as well....The Community Church of Providence to be exact! SAT: Steve has baseball practice in the morning, so I am hangin' w/ his family @ Roger Williams Zoo in Providence! Then it's off to CT for Brett's Mom's Breast Cancer Benefit event @ the French Club in Jewett City! It will be so nice to see Brett & Jess...& of course Sharon...it's for such a great cause! SUN: Steve will take his mom to the airport while Amy & Sue come w/ me back out to the city for my Providence Pin Up photo shoot! I cannot wait for this! The outcome of my photos will be a surprise for our wedding guests. YAY!....Another packed weekend, that's for sure! We rarely say no to anyone or anything, I swear! ;)

Last night Sue, Amy & I went to the W Salon in Providence to get a FREE manicure & a FREE eyebrow shaping! FREE, yes, I said FREE! We were able to use the coupons I received at the Easter Brunch that Steve & I attended. Let me say that the 3 of us had a blast! It was such a low key evening filled w/ lots of fun & lots of laughs. Although Amy will call me a crazy driver I did get us there & back safely…haha! BOO to driving in the city! I hate it, especially when I don’t know where I’m going. Thanks to map quest & my handy dandy pink Garmin from my girls from home (Em, Pam & Tiff) we made it to our appointment only 5 mins late!...The salon has a very earthy/funky/modern/vintage-y type of feel. As you can see in one of the photos below they have their hair dryers hanging from the ceiling! So clever! As far as our mani colors, I went for black (to match my toes for my Providence Pin Up photo shoot), Amy went for midnight blue & Sue went for a more natural color….or should I say color-less? Just kidding Sue! ;)…I drank a can of coke while Sue drank a glass of wine & Amy downed 2! HA…I definitely want to go back again! The whole place was fun & up beat. Decent prices too!

"MMM BOP" TO TINTED WINDOWS

1. I recently noticed that I have 2 new blog followers! Hello girls! Welcome! Happy reading! :)

2. Yes, I was one of those girls obsessed w/ the Hanson brothers in HS. Taylor to be exact....I was also obsessed w/ their #1 song MMM BOP for years! And yes, all of my friends made fun of me. Where is Taylor now might you wonder? Welllll...I just read last night on People.com that he is in a new band called TINTED WINDOWS....I'll have to check out the sound of their music this evening! If YOU check it out in the mean time, let me know how they are!

PS: Check out Brooke White's (of last years' American Idol) cover of Coldplay's "Yellow"...it's on her new website & album...AND it's beautiful!!!

AVERY'S BAPTISM

Sunday morning we went to Avery’s baptism. Avery is Steve’s niece who is about 5 months old. We attended a beautiful service w/ Matt, Nichole & extended family members @ their lil white chapel in CT. Afterwards we went back to their house to celebrate w/ lots of food! It was such a lovely day for a lovely occasion. Avery was so adorable! She didn’t cry or anything! What was funny was that whenever she made any sort of noise her big sister Leah would copy her. Leah had a few people in the pews laughing. Just adorable! Here are the photos from the special occasion…There is a photo of Steve, Avery & I that was taken out side, but Nichole has that one. As soon as I get it from her I will post it.

HAPPY ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS DAY

HAPPY ADMIN DAY TO ALL MY FELLOW ADMINS OUT THERE! That is all.

ARTSY FARTSY

Last night, Steve & I took a walk around the pond at Johnston Memorial Park across the street from our apartment before dinner. Check out the "artsy fartsy" photos I captured!
