So, I know this is hard to see but the envelope is in fact green with a little sheen to it! This is my idea - and I need some approval/disapproval! The save-the-date card is folded - think of a greeting card, only shorter. The outside of the greeting card (front and back) and the inside left are black. The inside right is a green card matching the envelope. On the front, if it works out well, will be a picture of me and Aaron holding criss-crossed checkered flags with May 29, 2010 written on them. Above it in white ink, it will say “Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines…” On the inside green section, it will say “Aaron and Kaylie are getting married!” With our date and location information below. By the way, just to make you jealous… I will be in Paris tomorrow! Well, on my way there anyway! To add an extra bit of fun, a checkered black and white ribbon can be tied in as well. YES, I came up with this idea on my own! Just because my mother and godmother are creative geniuses doesn’t mean that I can’t occasionally have a bright idea all by myself :) Not all accountants are boring!

A few pictures, for those who haven’t been able to see it yet.  Sorry about that, by the way… I’m such a klutz.  Love you!

Ciao!

So, I am going to PARIS tomorrow! 

My little brother (and by little, I mean almost 23…) is working at an internship there, so the whole family is taking a trip.  I guess that French degree I got is finally going to be (semi) useful!  I have a direct flight out of O’Hare tomorrow evening and cannot wait to have crepes by the Seine, drink espresso, speak French, and just be in one of the most beautiful cities in the world!  I also cannot wait to share pictures and stories.

In other news, I am engaged!  I plan on detailing the wedding planning on here - partly because I already feel bad for my poor roommate, since it’s all wedding, all the time for me now.  Who knew planning these was such a task?  Right away, at least!?  Also, I want to keep my beloved far-away family involved in my plans. 

Get excited for my pictures and stories!

in chicago today, the sun is shining, there are no clouds, and it’s 67 degrees. 67!!! i read an article that said it’s the warmest day in 120 days. then i realized - how sad is that? the city of chicago spends over 1/3 of its year being under 67 degrees. and it’s certainly not hot outside (don’t get me wrong - this is my favorite weather - it’s so beautiful), so i wonder what percentage of the year we actually spend in what normal people would consider warm weather? scratch that, i don’t wonder. it’ll just make me want to leave. :)

endings

so i am (and have been for a while) going through what i feel like is the end of a friendship. one that has served me well, that has gotten me through a lot, and one that has helped make me who i am. but how do you know when you’ve outgrown a friendship as opposed to just not trying hard enough? i feel like i’ve been putting forth effort, and trying to keep things going, but for a while i’ve felt like it isn’t there on the other side. to be truthful, i’m not the only one of her friends who has these feelings. so what do you do? also, at what point do you say, it’s your life and you make the choices? i am afraid that one day she’s going to wake up, look around her, and realize nobody is there anymore. but what can i do when it feels like she refuses? i just don’t know what to do, and i know this sounds rambling and crazy. but i also am afraid that i did something wrong. there have been a lot of what seem to be fundamental life changes recently, and right now i just don’t quite know where to go.

gmail is on to me

so you know how they have random ads at the top of your gmail inbox?  today, mine has a link that says “what is making you sad?” 

this cannot be a good sign.
