will + kate

Ok. I was (kinda still am) obsessed with the royal wedding. I know some people are haters of the royal fever but how can you not want to watch a fairytale come to life? It's like a Disney princess movie!

A little background on my obsession. I grew up following William and Harry's life. It all started because of my mom. She took off work when Charles and Diana were married. She continued following Diana throughout the rest of Princess Diana's life and that meant I followed it as well. When Princess Diana passed away, which coincidentally was on my sister Katie's eighth birthday, my mother was in tears all day. Needless to say that probably wasn't one of Katie's favorite birthdays! Anyway as soon as William and Kate announced their engagement I was hooked! I read every article on Yahoo about the wedding for months gearing up for the big event. I'm a goober, I know.

In celebration of the royal wedding I threw a party. Well, it wasn't much of party because we were quite bleary eyed and nauseous from awakening at the ungodly hour of 5:45am. I'm no ray of sunshine in the morning as some of you might know. My guests were my mom and Katie. Here are a few pics of our morning.

The real deal.

English tea, English muffins, and marmalade. So English.

Can't have tea without tea cups!

Cheers!

That's about as exciting as our party got but we can say we watched Will and Kate tie the knot in real time. We got to see the dress (uh gorgeous!) hear the vows, the crowds cheering, and watch history in the making while making some memories ourselves.

It might not be good but it's a reason...

I created this blog more than two weeks ago. Why you might ask have I not blogged anything? Well blogging when it comes down to it isn't very easy. At least to start off. So for this first installment of Living Like Kings I'll delve into why I created this blog.

I decided to start a blog for several different reasons. The reasons are below and in the order they came to me.

1.) I'll just be honest I want to be cool like all my friends that have blogs. Extremely unoriginal and superficial but a fact none the less.

2.) I made myself feel better about my above reason by telling myself that Scott and I have family and friends that are interested in our day to day existence. Which (hopefully) is true.

3.) I dug a little deeper after reason number two. I can be slightly negative at times and tend to ignore the little things in life. For instance the funny thing Scott said the other morning or an act of kindness I observed at the store. Things that make your life more colorful and meaningful. I want this blog to make me more aware of the little things. The positive things. Because let's face, it no one wants to read a boring and/or negative blog.

So all aboard. This could get interesting or totally tank. I'm crossing my fingers for interesting.
