:: Town Mouse, Country Mouse ::

I love living close to the city. I love working in the city. I love the hustle and bustle, the bright lights and fast paced living. I love the wild, weird and wonderful.

I also love the country. I love seeing the stars. I love the serenity and tranquility. I love nature and wildlife.

So in love with this little guy!

A little while ago Mr LG and I headed out to the country to visit his family. I really enjoyed taking a step away from the fast-paced life of the city and relished the clean, country air. When I was younger I used to love visiting my cousins on their farm. I loved country life! Now though, I'm definitely a city girl. But that doesn't mean I don't enjoy my country retreats (like the one I'm going on this weekend!).

How about you? Are you a town mouse or a country mouse?

:: More Wedding Fun! ::

Last weekend Mr LG and I flew to Perth (on the other side of Australia) to witness two friends join in marriage. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid for my beautiful friend.

Just for the record, the bridesmate didn't carry a bouquet, he was holding it while the maid-of-honour signed the registry.

I have been so blessed with wedding joy this year - first my own, then being an MC for a high school friend, and now a bridesmaid for another friend! It was such a fun day full of laughter and love. It felt so surreal to be in Perth (more photos to come) with my friends, especially considering Mr LG and I were only there for 38 hours!

I have decided that weddings are pretty much my favourite kind of event. You are surrounded by so much love and warmth, and everyone has a fantastic time!

What is your favourite part of a wedding? I love seeing the groom's reaction to his future wife walking down the aisle, I love the gorgeous dresses, and I love the pure joy that radiates from the couple getting married.

PS. I completely unrelated news, today is my blog's first birthday! Yay! To celebrate I will be hosting a giveaway very soon!
