#becomingmrsmascia

Tonight Ant and I are officially kicking off the wedding festivities, by hosting a few members of the bridal party over at the house!!!  Tomorrow everyone has an early start {the boys are playing paintball and the girls are getting our nails done} so anyone who has a longer drive is crashing at our place.  We've got the grill and the fire pit ready to go!  Tomorrow is our rehearsal dinner, and then Friday Ant and I are getting married!  AHHHH.  I can't believe it's so soon - and we legitimately could not be more excited.

Needless to say, I won't have time to blog.  Ant and I head off to Antigua early Sunday, and will be back on Saturday the 16th!  While I'm gone, my MOH will post a few guest posts - because she is marvelous! So look forward to those, and I promise to fill you in on everything as soon as I'm back!!

The next time you hear from me, I'll be Mrs. Mascia! xoxo

My Favorite Seven: ALLY & SARA

Alright, so in this case it's safe to say I saved the best for last...my sisters!!!  Everyone: meet the Tewksbury ladies - Ally and Sara!  You don't get to pick your family, so it's safe to say I lucked out with these two.  They love me even though I have always been the bossy big sister, and are my biggest cheerleaders and support system.  You will never meet two ladies who love and live harder than these two.  Ally is pursing a career in the veterinary field, and Sara is about to be a senior {OMG} at UConn.  I couldn't be more proud of both of them and the things they are accomplishing.  I am also thankful that they love Ant almost as much as I do, and are looking forward to having him around as an "official" part of the family!

My Favorite Seven: KATIE

Ohhhh, where do I begin!  It's time to introduce you to roomie - the krunk to my roach.  Some people also call her Katie!  Katie and I met freshman year...we lived across the hall from each other on the 6th floor of Shippee, the honors dorm.  Katie and I both had less than ideal roommates - and that along with all of the million other things we had in common brought us together pretty quickly.  We ended up living together the next three years at UConn, and she's been stuck with me ever since.  Katie is my rock.  She tells it how it is, in a way that I've always loved and admired - she's my go to for an honest opinion on literally ANYTHING {wedding planning has tested this theory}.  Her advice is usually very sound - except this one time when I met a cute boy.  She told me I needed to stop staring at him from across the room, and I'd like to argue that the excessive staring worked out prettttttty well for me ;)

Katie and I have literally traveled the world together - we started our traveling sophomore year of college when we took a pretty hardcore road trip around the U.S....and visited each other when we studied abroad in Italy and Spain our junior year!  {we have matching tattoos from her visit to Spain!} I am so lucky that no matter which directions our lives have gone, and will continue to go, I know I will always have her love and support - our wedding, and the marriage that follows just wouldn't be the same without her!
