Unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts, unts…. (that’s my sweet dance celebratory music)

I feel like I’m bursting at the seams. I feel like I could walk around outside my skin, busting forth, running and jumping with excitement and energy (but I won’t cause that’d be kinda awkward…and yuck what would hold me all together then!? Ew. Plus, it’s raining out, so that’s a bit of a downer. I guess.)

I have booked up my 2011 wedding season and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

It’s like all my dreams are falling into place and my life is becoming just that; a life.

I have the best brides (who are, obviously, paired with the best grooms) and could not be more pumped for the next eight months. Those who know me best  know that I like any reason to celebrate which includes, but is certainly not limited to; finding a  job after college, a beautiful day, my birthday, locating a sock pair in the dryer, meeting my new niece and nephew(s), the first sunny summer day, finding the perfectly unperfect significant other, successes, losses, realizing those losses and turning them to the positive…it’s all life. And life, most certainly, is a reason to celebrate.

And on that note, I will be throwing caution to the wind and offering up my first contest. Ever. Don’t let me down, people. Let’s DO THIS!!!
So…strap up your boots and -unts- get this party started!!
