My Favorite Place On Earth

From Paris, we flew to Rome, hopped in a rental car and drove through Tuscany to Florence.

I LOVE Florence.  The moment I stepped into Italy, I was impressed, but when the bottom of my shoe hit the ground in Firenze (as it's known in Italy) I fell in love.

The beauty, history, romance.  Ahhh...what more could a girl want?

Our backpacks barely fit in the tiny European car!

Love this city!

The Duomo, so impressive!

Three girls, in Florence, with Gelato...watch out!

Our leather purchases complete...5 handbags in all, I believe!

So sad to leave, but what a beautiful view on the drive back to Roma!

A Little Bit of Paris

Back in 2008 the two besties and I made a little jaunt across the pond and traveled around Europe for almost 2 weeks.  Our first stop was Paris.  Ok, it wasn't actually our first stop.  First, we landed in London, but then we took a bus to another airport in London where we hopped a plane to Paris...so then, we were in Paris.  Here are a few pics from our trip.  Next week, I'll post pics as our journey continued to Florence!

Our first night in the city we HAD to see the Eiffel Tower!

#CocktailsOnCullom

Well..it was quite a weekend!  The cocktail party was the main focus...decorating/prepping Friday night till way too late, cleaning, getting nails done, setting up, finishing touches and getting myself ready Saturday...but man, was it all worth it!  We had a great turnout...groups of friends from all areas of my life mingling with each other, good food and delicious drinks, photo booth fun, sparkly dresses and guys in ties...that's a recipe for fun, my friends!

Unfortunately I don't have pics other than a few photo booth shots...I'll have to see if anyone took pics of the rest of the party!!

For now...

My girl Emily...who saved the party on multiple occasions!

Me and Sarah!

The boys.

Bethany!!

Miss Gabbie who helped with finishing touches

Marathoners!!  Shelley, me and Jocelyn!!

Photo Friday

On a blog I had in the past I used Friday to post photos from my life.  Real Photo Friday I called it.  It was a nice way to end the week...a happy memory of some sort or a pic of something that happened in my life that week.  Plus, it was an easy post to write.  

I've been super cranky lately.  Just irritable beyond words.  Not really sure why. 

Ok, I have some ideas why, but I don't like thinking it's my fault I feel this way so I continue to hold firm to the "I'm not sure why" thing.**

Anyway...I'll continue to blame the weather for my sour mood.  And I'll remember brighter days when the whole fam cruised from NYC to Bermuda in the summer of 2010.  It was the first time all three of us kids and my cool bro-inlaw hung out as adults for more than just an afternoon.  Mom and Kurt, Grandma and Grandpa as well as my aunt and uncle were on the trip.  Sure, anytime you lock a bunch of Colliers/Holmes/Danielsons on a boat, with no escape, for days on end, there's bound to be a little ruckus, but all in all, some good memories of a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Times Square...my little bro, my beautiful sis and mom, me
How am I such a giant??  Oh, yeah...the heels...

Bye bye NYC!
Finally made it to Bermuda!
 
Siblings!!

  **For those of you who know me well, you know that though I might not be ready to publicly admit what factors are going into this irritation, you know that I've already had honest discussions with several people and have started to implement change...

Thirty-Two

* 8X4

* 16X2


* Degrees at which water freezes


* Protons in germanium


* Teeth an adult has including wisdom teeth


* Jersey number worn by Karl Malone, Magic Johnson,  and Sandy Koufax


* All of these things are 32.


But what does 32 really look like?  Today, 32 looks like this:




Nothin' fancy.  No frills.  No gimmicks.  Just a swipe of mascara and a content  heart.

Happy birthday me!
