part of me

I spent Labor Day weekend 2009 in Seattle for many reasons. One of them is that two of my friends got married. I got to know them really well over the past few years, and I was ecstatic that I was invited to share this day with them. On September 4, 2010, Natalie and Wendy stood in front of their family and friends and committed themselves to each other for eternity. I was so moved by the ceremony, and I really want to write about that night.



The celebration afterwards was one of the best nights of my life. I made a toast. I danced. I sang. I smiled (A LOT). I was surrounded by some of the best people I've ever met. They've helped change my life for the better and realize what true happiness was. All of these people mean the world to me. They are part of me. And I know that more than a few people will see this and judge me. That's your choice to do so. These people are my friends and they are beautiful people. I'm never ever going to forget this night.


(some of my favorite people ever)


I really miss this night:






These are my friends. They are the most genuine, sweet, and kind-hearted people in the world. I can only hope to be half as good of a person as each of them are. That night, we had the time of our lives and celebrated the LOVE and COMMITMENT between two of our best friends. If it gets any sweeter than that, I don't want to know.
