Right Saturday
10:44 PM
For having such a lazy night last night, today sure made up for it, holy cow. Kyle and I woke up early and headed out to Ann Arbor with his Mom Debbie to look at the wedding venue and take some notes. Debbie ended up really liking the place (a plus since we've already paid the deposit), and walking the grounds gave us some fresh ideas for the big day. Then we headed to town for lunch and Kyle suggested a healthy diner-type place that offered catering, bonus. The food was amazing! They had sooo many delicious things to choose from and the catering menu looked great and it is on the affordable side. We want to look around a little more first but it feels good to have accomplished something so far in this wedding planning frenzy.
Then we hit up Ragtime with my friend Aaron who had happened to be in A2 (in Michigan we give everything nick-names; ie Detroit is "The D", Ann Arbor is "A2") as well. Then I dragged Kyle into Urban Outfitters knowing damn well that I could not afford the clothes-but everything is so pretty! I ended up getting decorative plates for the wall instead. They have birds and cats on them-Cat Lady Pride!
Being in A2 is a little different than the ghetto/hiptser/granola life of Oak Park & Ferndale. There are people everywhere, mostly college students as UofM-The Harvard of the Midwest-resides in the city. Fashionably dressed people swarmed the street, there were crazy in-shape people jogging everywhere, guys playing musical instruments on the sidewalk-it was crazy! Normally I would start to feel bad about myself-and I did for a second, but then I felt motivated. If these kids could go running on a nice Saturday afternoon instead of sitting on their butts then I can too! The pizza from last night may have been a little set-back but I still feel great and motivated. I am Sara, hear me snort!

now also a translator put it on my blog as soon as you put it in your language it is translated the page simultaneously,,,, so you guys can also read.
I did this with much love thinking about you because they do not want to lose contact and somehow we met in this world so immense, there is a higher power that has driven us to this, I do not see simply as a coincidence,,, to when you marry, have their children travel to their beautiful even without knowing them to be participating this

ReplyDeleteI love your jacket and the colour of your sweater :)
ReplyDeleteLove your dress so much that is a very lovely print. It looks great with the sweater over it.
ReplyDeleteGreat last line! Love this jacket!
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like things are really getting set for the big day!
All the best. Cold and lots of snow here..brrrr....
I'm so excited for you guys! This outfit rocked too! Cool about the plates.
ReplyDeleteOh, sounds amazing! The wedding festive are really coming along. I hope you guys get a lot done.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit.
I enjoyed the tidbits about the area too.
Oh, the excitement! I'm happy you guys have found so much to get ready for the big day.
ReplyDeleteSweet outfit!
Your last line is a killer!
ReplyDeleteLet me start by being frivolous before I get serious. A2? Hilarious. And your outfit is cute.
I enjoyed your observations about the difference in the crowd. In the very short time I've known you, you have quite dramatically shifted from being on the outer edge of adolesensce to the inner edge of young adulthood. Your clothes, your attitude, your seriousness all display a maturity that's newly arrived and quite adorable. Plus, to your credit, you haven't lost the youthful quirky playfulness you've always had. You are combining the best of both stages in life. What a pleasure to watch you grow!
Gah! Your hair has been looking more fabulous than ever lately, Sara; and I LOVE your skirt! :)
ReplyDeletethe color of the sweater is amazing on you.
ReplyDeleteI love those little private names for stuff. Sometimes i'll accidentally say them to people who don't know and they'll look at me in a very confused way.
ReplyDeleteLove your hair by the way!
This outfit is such an awesome to kick back to some of your classic blog ensembles. It's got the plaid, docs, and just the perfect touch of accessories! (love the grandma floral purse a ton!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great outfit to wear on a day when you kicked some butt and got a lot done! I bet it's a relief to finally tack down a location. Now you can worry about lesser important details. haha
Hey, girl! I am so happy that your wedding preparations are going smoothly. I can't wait to hear more of your plans and I can't wait for pictures of the special day haha. :D
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Lots of love, B
