My friend Meredith has this crazy-cool feature on her blog called Magazine Mondays, and I tell ya, I’m hooked. It’s a simple blog post every Monday highlighting something she’s come across in one of her favorite magazines and how it applies to, or has become a part of her everyday life. I am definitely a magazine lover, but what I like most about Meredith’s posts is the insight it gives into her life in Portland, Maine with her boyfriend Michael and their fun-loving lab, Orvis. More than once I’ve found myself in that dead zone of a Monday afternoon digging through my google reader looking to see if Magazine Monday has been posted yet. Her stories, along with her beautiful photography are often just the break I need.
For a while now, I’ve been trying to find just the right way to bring a piece of my personal life into the Lucky Mutt blog on a more consistent basis. Over the past months I’ve thrown all kinds of themed ideas around in my head without acting on any, and I realized recently (like with many things in my life), I’ve been making this far more complicated than it needs to be. So, today begins “The Lucky Life”, what I hope will become a weekly feature that will serve as both at journal of sorts for me and (what will hopefully be) an interesting read for you.
And to kick things off, a few photos from my cousin’s beautiful wedding in northern Minnesota last weekend. The weather was wonderful (even the late evening storm seemed to miss it on purpose), the atmosphere was relaxed, and the flower girls got lots of giggles as one (the younger) yanked the other (the older) down the stairs for their grand entrance. It was a wonderful, family-filled evening (see Mom and her 2 sisters below) in one of my favorite parts of our state.
Dan and Shelby, thank you for inviting us to be a part of your day, and best wishes on the journey ahead of you!
