Weddings and Babies








Big things are happening people, BIG things.  Big plans, Big changes, Big bellies.  First of all, Carolyn (also known as my best friend in the entire world) is getting married in two months!  I guess I never mentioned anything about her engagement, but that's obviously old news now.  Her husband-to-be is in those pictures above.  His name is Brandon, and he is a very intelligent, quirky, funny, and faithful companion to Carolyn.  I don't think I would have let her go to anyone else :)  I am super excited for their wedding!  I get to be at home for about a month before it, too, to spend time with Carolyn during her last single days, which I'm really glad about.  Time flies - It seems like Trish and Justin's wedding was just the other week.  It was actually about 7 months ago, however, which you can see by the size of Trish's belly (she calls it an aspiring little mountain).  I can't believe they will have a baby soon!  Those are a couple photos of her in Egypt, where she and Justin are currently living.  She recommends these books, and also check out this article that another mom-to-be wrote, about having a satisfying pregnancy experience, which is interesting.  I am totally in awe of the changes that Carolyn and Trish are undertaking right now.  Love those ladies to the ends of the Earth!

ps:  I feel like I see a decent amount of people marrying someone that they slightly resemble.  Don't you think Carolyn and Brandon share some physical characteristics?  I wonder if we unconsciously gravitate towards a face that feels a little familiar and comforting, or if we start to look more like our partners as time goes by because we pick up on facial expressions and style?  I guess some people looking nothing alike, so...whatever.

Cousin-in-law





Let me introduce you to my favorite person living in Worcester besides my cousin.  Justin and Trish were dating when I moved in, and he lived next door.  Whenever I mentioned "we" while living on the east coast, it was probably in reference to some combination of the three of us.  Justin is supportive, awesome, and enthusiastic.  I made him sit through a bunch of practice performances while I was prepping for auditions, and he never complained once. I liked sitting by him on the couch because it felt like snuggling up to a gigantic, personal bodyguard/teddy bear - he's very tall and has a protective aura.  He's a super smart teacher with loads of awesome stories and info to share about all his experiences.  Right before I left Worcester I helped him execute a grand proposal to Trish, and now they are engaged!  I'm so excited about it!  I just love him a lot, and know he will be such a great dad when Mo Jr eventually rolls into town (I think that name really has a nice ring to it...hehe).  

Here's a link to their save the date!  They made a video instead of sending out cards and it is the cutest thing ever.  This is also the first wedding I will ever be in;  I think it will be fun and exciting :)
