for better or worse...

-
I've been inspired to get blogging and writing again. This is likely an effect of following some lovely blogs AND attending a reading or two at our local bookstore. The catch is that ya'll need to be prepared for an onslaught of wedding-related posts! For the next six months! Can you deal?

For those non-wedding fans, whomever you be, I will make an attempt to throw in some other toodles, ideas, and happenings...but I am just warning you.

Let's start with bridesmaid dresses. I am planning to have three lovely ladies attending (me?) at the ceremony (and truly, the weeks leading up to it!). We have been in the midst of choosing the bridesmaid dress for the past couple of months. I think we've settled on one...let me know your thoughts!

Also, please duly note, my wedding dress has been purchased, and although this might be a crucial bit of information when considering the appropriate bridesmaids dresses, I am hoping to surprise a certain someone. So, on this blog, it will not appear. Ho hum. Let me say that it is ivory, lacy, form-fitting, and shows some skin...Ok, that's it!

Here is the bridesmaid suite of dresses:




I adore the combination of grays and purples together; a color theme that I think will pervade the celebration. I am a little unsure that the dresses aren't fancy (?) enough and there was the concern that they aren't too form fitting either...but, it's a July wedding and the silk chiffon paired with the flowiness of the dress will certainly feel wonderful in the late afternoon sun. And, let us not underestimate the power of a short, fun dress while DANCING!

So, imagine these dress on three beautiful brunettes with showstopper vintage jewelry.

Okay, thoughts please.

    Molly! I love the light purple at the bottom. It's gorgeous and definitely fancy enough, plus it looks a bit more form fitting for those who want that. So pretty!

YWCA Women's Triathlon Race Report- 8/18/13

Preface: I wanted to write this race report while it was all still fresh, but with a four month old and my return to work, this post quickly dropped its priority status.  Luckily, I jotted down some key memories immediately after the race to stimulate my writing later.  Those anecdotes are included here! *** Almost two weeks ago, I crossed the YWCA Women's Sprint Triathlon finish line for third year in a row.  As I raised my hands in the air, the announcer cheered me on, "Molly of Minneapolis- This is her first triathlon post baby Misha!  She just had a baby and triathlon!" This shot truly captures the thrill of the finish line.   Last year, Misha completed the race with me and my mom in the "buddy heat."  Only a few weeks pregnant, I kept my mom company as she worked her way through her first 500 yard open water swim, 15 mile bike ride, and 5k run.  This year, we signed up as a "mother-daughter team" with each of us competing in our own age g

Misha Man Celebrates 1 month!

This post marks the last weekly update of the Misha Man series.  From here on out, we are rolling at a month to month basis. Yet again, Misha's fourth week of life was an eventful one!  The family train continued as Mike's parents arrived on a sunny Wednesday afternoon.  They were ecstatic as they missed an earlier opportunity to drive northwards due to a bad cold.  Misha took to his grandparents instantly. Before the grandparents arrived, I had a couple days alone with Misha while Mike was working.  We went on several long walks to local coffee shops and parks.  I am absolutely in love with my BOB stroller- as is Misha.  It is heaven on wheels.  As Mother's Day weekend approached, a rumor spread that another Vasich might make his way up to the Twin Cities.  All were doubtful that Mike's youngest brother and his girlfriend would actually make the 12 hour drive from Bloomington, Indiana...all except Mike who knows the effect of a hardy challenge on a Va
