Ten on Tuesday: Lovin' Life

I am linking up with It's a Crafty Life for Ten on Tuesday this week in honor of Best Friend Cute Apartment's impending graduation (she walks in 3 days!).

Best Friend Cute Apartment and I managed to create this tradition of a certain pose we do when we take photos together and somehow it got nicknamed "lovin' life" - perfect name for us, because (especially when we're together) we are two fun-loving girls!

And so, as a graduation present of sorts (who doesn't want 10 photos of them making smooch faces on the internet for graduation?), I present to you...the top 10 photos of Cute Apartment and I lovin' life!

Happy Graduation, Cute Apartment!  We will be lovin' life during the ceremony, and even more so when we get cocktails later that night!

PS. Am I the only one who does it - has designated "must-take" photos with different friends?  I totally have one with Best Friend Fashionista, Ms. Does it All, and Swagger is always trying to get me do this strange back-to-back MK&A pose with her?

Ten on Tuesday: Best Friend Swagger

I'm linking up with It's a Crafty Life this week for "Ten on Tuesday," and in honor of one of my very best friends birthdays, I will be sharing 10 pictures of myself and her!

Best Friend Swagger and I met in high school, in a program called Model United Nations.  We have very different interests in just about every field, but as she so eloquently put it at my wedding, the thing that has held our friendship together over all these years is "our general interest in each other's lives."  We have arm-in-arm gone through 2 years of high school (we didn't really get to know each other until about half way through), 4 years of college (my college year count is still going, but 4 for her - woo woo!), a total of 3 visits to New York, 3 trips to Arizona, a couple of Fourth of July's and an insane amount of themed parties.

Happy Birthday, Best Friend Swagger!  I love you for who you are, and I'm so proud of everything you're doing with your life.

Enjoy my Ten on Tuesday!
