oops! remember when i said i would try to blog once a week... turns out netflix is streaming all 6 seasons of the wonder years soooo... that's where the last 2 weeks have gone.
but back to the important things... #mkewedding! i think it would be rude to say i like some friends better than others, buuuuuuuuuuuut... when you fall in love with their families too, it's hard not to give a couple extra points to these two:

on to my shameless love affair with the marks/andreasens... i'm convinced beth and andy have a thousand friends. each. but there is something that makes me feel like i'm their only friend when even their parents know me by name. i think in the estimated 5 years i've known beth i've spent a collective 5 hours in the company of her father, but the minute he saw me he gave me the sweetest hug and said, "it's really good to see you again, emily." beth's mom was no different and insisted i make a pit-stop in omaha on the way to wherever i'm going next to visit and spend the night. she does not have to ask me twice, because turns out 3/5 of her children are still in omaha and i have a huge crush on all of them. her sisters are over the top marvelous and stunning, her brother and sister in law are absolute riots! and i tried really hard to jump in the back of their car on their way home. but no dice. next time.
i am equally infatuated with andy's family. his mom was a good sport while i tried whoring myself out to the rest of her single sons. she indulged my preoccupation with becoming a member of her family like it was a totally normal conversation to have. see, andy is the oldest of 6. he has a younger sister who is a total babe and 4 other charming brothers. of those four, three are of legal age (eh, but don't quote me on that, he's only a senior in high school). point being, i think i have pretty good odds ;) i'll keep you updated. and then there is andy's dad, mr. doug mark... whenever i'm around him i try really hard to keep a straight face and a level head, but inside it's one long sentence that sounds something like this, "omg i think you're so cool.i would totally move to rockford if we can be neighbors.i think everything you say is interesting.please send me a bunch of merchandise when you decide to run for mayor." haha yep, pretty much like that.
if i had sisters, this is what they would look like
and finally i have to tell you all about my new bff, maux (that's a fancy way of saying Mo) she's beth's bombshell cousin on the far left. after i sheepishly introduced myself i word-vomited all over about how awesome i think she is and how i read HER BLOG everyday... we drank, we danced, we judged other people's life choices and we planned my road trip down to austin. bliss.
