About Me: I am a California girl at heart. I love the outdoors, sunny days at the beach, and hiking in the woods and mountains. I also love good books and am fresh from completing my Master’s degree in English and Comparative Literature in New York City. Living in NYC was an amazing experience, and while I’m glad to be back on the West Coast, I’m also thankful that my two years back East gave me an opportunity to explore new places, make new friends, and indulge my passion for Broadway shows. Oh, and I received a pretty awesome proposal from Mr. Parasol in Central Park. Above all else, Mr. Parasol is my biggest cheerleader and my best friend. But even though I’m thrilled to be marrying him, I wasn’t always totally on board with this whole wedding thing and at first, I wanted to run off and elope. I’ve finally been convinced to throw the wedding I never thought I wanted, and so now I’m busy planning an intimate September wedding filled with DIY details. Along the way, I’m slowly learning to appreciate, perhaps even love the wedding planning process.
