It’s been full-on prep mode around here the past 48 hours.

Dan and I are heading east for our first out-of-state wedding this season. There have been lists, piles, coffee, charging of batteries, clearing of memory cards and a raising of this question: how in the world do I have so much black clothes? Seriously, look at my to-be-packed piles up there. Overwhelmingly black.

I should construct some sort of sign to wear around my neck whenever I go shopping that reads, “Do not, under any circumstances, let me leave this store with any variety of black clothing.”That wouldn’t be weird. At. All.

We’re taking a few extra days to just relax out east, so expect some updates of the travel variety. I – and my black clothes – will be back!
