\"Beet-the-Heat<\/a><\/p>\n

I've been blogging for over six years now, which is just crazy to think about.<\/p>\n

Since the six-year blogiversary (July 8th), I've been\u00a0thinking a lot about blogging in general but especially as it relates to the more personal aspects of my life.<\/p>\n

This summer has been packed with all sorts of memorable life events that\u00a0I've typically\u00a0only briefly mentioned in passing. It's not that I haven't\u00a0wanted to\u00a0share the stories of those moments\u00a0within this space, it's just that I've become more\u00a0selective\u00a0about\u00a0the stories I do share as well as the stories I don't. In general, this trend doesn't apply to\u00a0my own,\u00a0personal stories. Rather, it's the\u00a0moments involving family and loved ones that I've become protective toward. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why this is, it's just something I've noticed.<\/p>\n

The reason I'm mentioning any of this is because one of those really special events occurred\u00a0just this past Saturday. I sat down to write this post last night, intending\u00a0to stick strictly to smoothie-talk. But\u00a0given the significance of the\u00a0festivities, it felt inauthentic and almost dismissive to pretend it was just any old weekend. So I deleted the smoothie talk, closed my laptop, and decided to give the post another go in the morning.<\/p>\n

With a fresh set of eyes, I realized this event was too meaningful not to mention and that sharing it\u00a0would both\u00a0honor an important life story as well as\u00a0the two people at the heart of it.<\/p>\n

So, without further ado, the reason this weekend was so darn special was because my little sister married the woman of her dreams. It was one of the most love-filled, inspiring celebrations I've ever witnessed, and I had the pleasure of standing by her side\u00a0as Matron of Honor (MoH) as she said \"I do\". Her wife is\u00a0one of the kindest, wittiest, and most warmhearted people I've ever met. She's the type of person whom\u00a0inspires sincerity in those around her without even meaning to do so, and she is the perfect match for my sister. The amount of love and support at this wedding made grown men, women, and children weep happy tears, and I'm\u00a0grateful to be part of a\u00a0place, time, and family where love wins above all else.<\/p>\n

So here's to the conclusion of a beautiful weekend, the start of a new week, and above all else, here's to love. . .<\/p>\n

Plus,\u00a0it's hot pink, which only adds to its brilliance\u00a0in my book.<\/p>\n
