Instant Happiness

Every now and then I'll be in a meeting

and a text will come through on my phone

with a dose of instant happiness :) 

Case in point: 

And today was like a double-wammy

when these little gems came through as well: 

 Oliver Conroy -- my little gnomie :)

LOVE

Congratulations, Michelle & Jim :)

Miiiichelle! 
It truly doesn't seem possible that we met over twenty years ago! Wasn't it literally like yesterday that we were doing Chinese fire drills in route to our grade-school traveling soccer games?!? 

Throughout the years, one thing has never changed, 
and that is how hard I laugh every time 
I have the fortune to spend time with you :)

Thank you for the honor to be invited to celebrate your big day. Jim is a truly lucky man. Cheers to all the great memories ahead!

XOXO

PS: Remember that time Kate skinned both 
of her knees to catch your bouquet?! 
Hahahaha 
LOVE
