Bedding

Since Andrew and I will be needing some bedding once we get married, we have been looking around at some bed spread options to get an idea of what we like. I found this fabric on etsy.com see here for the listing and LOVE it. If not for a bed, then for something because it is gorgeous and light-hearted and wonderful. Do you like it Andrew and everyone else? Too summery/springy for the whole year? (PS- I think we will have a wooden bed frame, not an iron one.)

Leslie's Wedding and the Dalia Lama

This weekend, Andrew and I went to Tucson, Arizona for his sister's wedding. The wedding was gorgeous (especially the bride!), the desert was gorgeous, the weather was gorgeous, and the food was delish. I want to wish Leslie and Charles a very happy marriage. I have never been out west and really enjoyed exploring the terrain, even if it was only for a very short period of time. I hope to explore around there some day.

But while I'm here, other exciting news... today I went to a very intimate talk with the Dalia Lama. It was awesome. He really challenged the audience to work towards peace and harmony (both of which I happen to be a big fan of) and slow down in order to reach our inner peace. One of my favorite quotes from the day (in reference to achieving harmony) the Dalia Lama said, "For harmony, trust is essential. The basis of trust is love and compassion." Good one Dalia Lama! I think it's a pretty applicable quote to life no matter what religious or non-religious background you might come from. He really reminded of Yoda off of Star Wars. He was pretty darn cute and had a great sense of humor. Check him out with the Memphis Mayor here. Pretty hilarious! The chat made for a great day worth the books.
