Real Life Father of the Bride...

In keeping with the wedding theme my sister received her wedding video yesterday! You might remember me gushing over spilling all the details of her precious, Father-of-the-Bride-esque, fun, romantic, God honoring wedding a couple of months ago. Well, if you have 4 minutes you can get a first hand glimpse of the magic of the day.

We miss my Papa deeply and that day was no exception as his absence was palpable. Will and his team did such a beautiful job of including his memory in this video and telling the story of their precious day. Enjoy!!

Beauty and the Bucket List...

The final few days of our CA trip were spent in beautiful Carmel watching my husband and father beat their chest and jump for joy. They didn't actually beat their chest but I did see a sparkle in Dave's eye that I'm not even sure I saw on our wedding day. All kidding aside, we took a drive down Highway 1, went through the cute little shops in Carmel, drank wine by the fire pits while listening to the bag piper at Spanish Bay, and the guys put a big check mark on their bucket list when they played golf at Pebble Beach and Spanish Bay.

If I'm going to talk Dave into a vacation I have to speak his 18-hole love language.

I'm not above compromise, the language was spoken, and the 44 photos below (yes, that could be considered over share, but it's my blog) tell the tale. The courses were beautiful, the wind coming off the Pacific was COLD, and the people who live on Pebble Beach...bless their hearts. It's a shame they have no view.

 The trees were enormous! And gorgeous!

 Zsa Zsa, doing her best to stay warm. I think this is when I caught her tweeting. :)

Sadly, all good things must come to an end!

 The view at sunset from my parent's hotel room...bless their heart too...

 Golf Day 2- Spanish Bay, with my brother. :) Kristen, I took this pic for you! Dad- putting his father's day present to good use. Haha!

 Mom and I finished Dave, Dad and Taylor's perfect day in our perfect way...with the S'more-something-or-another. It was so many levels beyond amazing. And that, my friends, is the 44 photo end of our CA days! If you actually scrolled to the end you are such a trooper! XOXO ~ Tiffany

Birds of a Feather...

Sisters are a lot of things...they are an additional wardrobe, someone to giggle with into the wee hours of the night, someone to shift blame to when your parents are investigating how nail polish got on the coffee table, they are loyal secret keepers, a built in slumber party, someone who understands you better than anyone else because they know every aspect of your life. If you're lucky, they are your best friend.

I'm one of the lucky ones. My sister and I have so much fun together, we respect each other, and we love each other. I had the honor of standing up as she married the man she had been praying for and the man I had been praying for for her. Although it was her big day, she thanked me for standing by her side and she gifted me with this precious bracelet.

We are

birds of a feather, peas in a pod, two of a kind, partners in crime, perfect pair...

She's my

BEST FRIEND EVER.
