Pink Glove Dance

This video has over 10 million plays on YouTube... and quite rightly. It's a video made by St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon to promote breast cancer awareness. It's so amazing how these employees--doctors, cafeteria workers, business officers, janitors-- all came together for such an important cause... and they look so happy doing it!

I work at UNC-Chapel Hill at the Friday Center for Continuing Education (woot woot!), and we're about to celebrate the 90th birthday of our founder, William Friday. My department is responsible for making a massive card for it for all employees to sign; however, Ryan had a great idea to do something like this video instead. What a great way to genuinely get our message across to him of how much he's meant to the University and what an incredible milestone he's reached. Plus he gets to see the face of all the people that make up the heart of the Center. That's a bit more special than a plain old card with signatures!

So, enjoy the video. : ) Who doesn't love happy tears?

My Best Friend's Wedding

No, I'm not speaking of the 1997 Julia Roberts film. Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'. Tomorrow I experience my actual best friend's wedding! Except for a few small differences:

1. My best friend is a girl.
2. I'm not in love with her. (I do love her though!)
3. I'm not a crazy psycho.

Ryan and I got married just about 8 months ago... and now, it seems like I've jumped into a time machine bringing me to my friend Katie's wedding, which is set for tomorrow evening. What happened to winter?!? Spring?!?

Anyways, point being, I'm extremely excited for one of my best gal's to become a "matron" with me. It really is just an amazing experience. Here's Katie and I dancing together at my wedding just 8 months ago. I hope to get a similar photo of us tomorrow night, attire switched. : )
