I mustache you a question...

Have you figured out the Colyers are crazy yet? Turns out the newest Mrs. Colyer to join the bunch is the craziest one of all. Jon's brother Adam is getting married tomorrow so we had the rehearsal dinner tonight. We've been looking forward to this wedding because, well... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I mean, really... who carries spare stick-on mustaches in their purse just in case anyone feels a strong desire to don a 'stache for the evening? Kayla!! That's who. I don't know where her original obsession with them began but it definitely makes for some good laughs. Jon even had both of his grandmas wearing them by night's end. (I was mostly taking pictures so I escaped un-stached. Phew.)

Judie and Uncle Brian (who loved his so much he refused to take it off.):

The Lovely Couple:

And on the normal side of things, rehearsal went smoothly (amazing how 6 months makes a difference...Bennett actually did as he was told--the FIRST time. And I don't even have to worry about him blowing out their unity candle 'cause they aren't having one. They pretty much shunned all stereotypical wedding traditions.) and the rehearsal dinner at Centro was fabulous. Great food, great family and I don't even need to tell you we had fun.

Stay tuned for more shenanigans (most likely involving facial hair) tomorrow.

I believe you deserve an award for, "BEST PUN TITLE". So hilarious! I have to admit, I want to steal the stick-on stach idea. I feel a pick of the kiddos coming on...sporting the stick-on stach. Where does one find a stach like that? Very Burt Reynolds.

for the book lovers {my recent favorites}:

Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan: An incredibly haunting medical memoir. There's a lot of medical info to read through but I didn't find those parts boring and difficult to wade through. I thought she shared just enough. But if you like a book that's easy to read, this isn't it. I couldn't get this one out of my mind for a very long time. An unforgettable true story.
Me Before You by JoJo Moyes and What Alice Forgot by Lianne Moriarty: I'm just going to lump these two together because they're in the same category. I'm calling them deep chick lit. A perfect summer book to get lost in. Read them. Both. I promise you from the bottom of my heart that you will LOVE them. (I liked them both way better than Where'd You Go, Bernadette.)
These Is My Words by Nancy E. Turner: Most of my favorite books have a main character with a whole lotta grit. I wasn't quite sure about this one when I first started it but, oh, did it sweep me in and not let me go til the last page. I also love a book that makes me "emote out loud" as I like to think of it. This one had me smiling all the way through and crying my eyes out at the end. It follows a young girl through her life in the Arizona Territories in the late 1800's. A must read for anyone who likes Historical Fiction.
Someone Knows My Name by Lawrence Hill. I LOVED this book. Its a very well researched historical fiction novel about a young girl kidnapped from her village in Africa and sold into slavery. It follows her through her whole life and the unbelievable heartache and trauma she lives through. I've been telling people I liked it as much as Unbroken but the main character is so much more endearing and has so much spunk.
Another Place at the Table by Kathy Harrison. I have a thing for modern day memoirs of utterly heartbreaking stories (Like Breaking Night and Blackbird). This is a Foster mother's first-hand account of the children she took in over the years and the unbelievable trauma they went through before they came to her.
Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls. I loved this lighthearted yet emotional story of a strong woman making the best of a hard life in the Southwest, beginning in the 1930's. I love her writing style--just cuts to the point of every story without too much "fluff" and yet tells it in a way that you can picture everything in vivid detail. Her memoir, The Glass Castle, is one of my all-time favorites, and this true-life novel about her grandmother didn't disappoint.
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. Modern day fiction about a girl raised in Foster homes and her struggles throughout life. She learns about the Victorian Era language of flowers and that becomes a huge part of her life. I finished it in two days. An easy read but very emotional and moving.
Zeitoun by Dave Eggers. The true story of a man's experience after Hurricane Katrina when he decided not to evacuate in order to look after several properties he owned. Quite an unbelievable story and so hard to believe this happened in the US only a few years ago.
