Family. Picture. Love.

I'm a very lucky girl.

Not only has marriage blessed me with a wonderful, loving, passionate, and patient husband but it has also blessed me with two awesome brothers-in-law. And with them, two fabulous fellow North Jersey girlfriends.

Don't even get me started about how three couldn't-get-more-Maryland-if-they-tried boys fell in love with three couldn't-get-more-North-Jersey-if-they-tried girls. Wait, who am I kidding? We North Jersey girls are just plain ol' awesome! No wonder these boys love us so much! What's even crazier is that each of us girls comes from a town located within ten to fifteen minutes of each other. Two of us even went to the same all-girls high school! Very early on we admitted to each other that we should have been friends loooong before tbe M boys came into our lives!

This past weekend was spent with two of my favorite "brothers" (seriously, they're so awesome that I'm not even angry in the least that I didn't get a sister out of the whole marriage deal, considering I already have one awesome brother of my own) breaking in their newly purchased home. Music playing in the background, beer pong tournaments in the newly constructed garage (don't worry they thought about rolling out extra vinyl flooring to protect the floor) and a pick-up game of speed quarters taking over the brand new island in the kitchen.

We couldn't have had more fun if we tried.

Happy Wednesday!
