LUCKY

Do you hear me, I’m talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I’m trying
Boy, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again…

– Jason Mraz  (feat. Colbie Caillat )

… a fond memory of the day Andrew proposed to Devon in front of their closest friends at RICE University. The group Doc A Pellas (friends of Andrew) held a ‘concert’ singing various songs and that led to singing their ‘song’ LUCKY. Little did Devon know, they were singing for her. A special message (and question) to follow with a heartfelt proposal on bended knee and a special ring. She nodded and said YES.

Love isn’t love, until you give it away.

For instant happy, just add horse…….

or pony : )

Delicate cream and pink roses with soft blush astilbe in white ‘trophy’ vases from Target! What a great find!

Of course the yummiest cake by MARTINE’s! Pistachio no less!
