Happy, happy Friday from San Jose!

I got in on Wednesday night and went straight from the airport to the very last SJ Women’s Circle I will attend. 🙁 At least for a very, very, very long time.

Today is a very special day because Jen and Juanski tie the knot today. I am so ecstatic to watch one of my very best friends marry the love of her life. I’ll be back on Monday with lots of photos and stories to share and you can also follow the hashtag, #JenFoundTheJuan.

The fact that Jen will become a Mrs. and Juan will become Mr. Merz is probably the funnest fact of the week, but I’m sticking to Friday tradition and including some other fun facts before I sign off. Feel free to join the fun and add in some fun facts from your week in the comments below!

1) I saw this on Instagram the other day and literally laughed out loud. Not because it’s HILARIOUSLY funny. But because it’s actually so fitting for my life at this moment. My liver and my wallet are pretty happy about my move to middle-of-nowhere, Tennessee.

2) Arjun had my birthday gift shipped to Mom and Dad’s house, but by the time it arrived, I had already left for our cross country trip so I didn’t receive it until this week! I loved it for two reasons. First, it made me feel like my birthday continued all the way through July. And second, hello? Friends reference? How could you not?

3) This isn’t really a fun fact. An interesting fact, perhaps? I saw this billboard while I was driving to the Atlanta airport. I don’t discuss politics very much. Partially because I’m not as well-read as others and I don’t feel like it’s my place to run my mouth. But I don’t even know what would happen to this world if Trump became president. It just confuses me that there are so many people who think he’s the answer to all our problems. What? That makes my brain hurt.

4) I have been living. it. up. at Starbucks. I mean, I know I had it every day when I lived here. But, there’s something magical about the taste of an iced coffee when you realize you won’t get to have them for months when you fly back to TrumpTown.

5) Bhabhi sent us this picture of Jiya in Veer’s classroom. I’m committed to adding pictures of Jiya on this blog. Even though I’m not physically there with her. This blog has documented all of Veer’s huge moments and I don’t want to miss a beat with Jiya. Or Aishu. Or anyone. So, as long as I’m allowed to and given pictures by the mamas and papas, I will be a proud Masi/Bua showing off the cutest nieces and nephews.

6) It’s been a month since I’ve gone to a Weight Watchers meeting, but I was definitely inspired to go this week (while I’m in a town that has a WW and also because of the Connect community). I got back on that scale and it said I’ve gained 2.4 pounds since mid-June. I knew it was going to happen. I’m not angry about it. I’m just so happy I went because I’m jumping right back on the wagon. No more denial. No more pretending. No more sneaking in bites of ice cream when the husband is in class. I’m committed again. I just need a few reminders.

Now, with that, I’m off to go consume all my weekly SmartPoints in champagne as we get our make-up and hair did for the MERZGARAYAR wedding!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
