For today's link-up with AV at Long Distance Loving, the theme is a Monotone outfit. I instantly knew I wanted my color to be a shade of pink, & I absolutely love this light rose pink shade. I think it is so soft & gorgeous. Also, I wanted to choose pink since this weekend Simply Savannah will have a booth at the Brides Against Breast Cancer bridal show in Savannah, Georgia! When I heard about this event I knew I wanted to get involved because it is something that has really affected me in my life. My mom, Sandy, lost her life to breast cancer at the age of 35 less than 6 months after I was born. It has been such a difficult thing to grow up not knowing my mom or anything about her. To wonder if I am anything like her or even if she would be proud of the person I have become today. It makes my heart hurt a little when I see brides so close with their moms on their wedding days & knowing I will never get that. So as you can see this is such a close-to-home cause that I want to be involved in & I really thought this would be such a great and fun way to contribute in a really meaningful way... So I hope all of you in Savannah will make it out to the Brides Against Breast Cancer event this weekend to see me! I will only be there a few hours Saturday since we have a wedding, but will be there all day on Sunday with some home baked cupcakes!!
