To all those wearied by Karen's bloglessness...

Dear Faithful (and now, probably faithless) Readers of Black Tie, White Dress:

As you all know, and probably feel the effects of almost daily, Karen Michael Gross Rector rarely, if ever, updates her wonderful blog.
I believe she doesn’t update on a regular basis for a few reasons:

1. She likes the attention some of us give her ever-stagnant blog.
2. She lacks confidence in her blog because Caroline Lamberth has taken to posting excerpts from her junior high diary on her blog. That is stiff competition.
3. She simply doesn’t care about her followers.
4. She is busy playing wifey to Beej.
5. She is busy memorizing every single dance danced on So You Think You Can Dance each week. This added on to her very busy job and social calendar just doesn’t leave much time to post on her blog.

Being the author of a blog myself, I know how she feels. My social calendar is packed until April 2010, I have to watch 13 different reality television shows each week, I like to sleep, I work, sometimes I work at work…the list goes on and on…

But, Karen, I’m here to encourage you to come back. Come back to the internets and share your thoughts and dreams with us, your loyal supporters. We want to know what you cooked Beej for dinner, how long you spent mopping the floor last Sunday night, how many times you’ve practiced saying your greeting for the Miss America pageant and especially, we want to know just what’s going on in that head of yours. You’re very insightful and somewhat amusing at times, which makes a good read (on occasion).

Please, I beg of you, don’t continue to leave us (your ever-so-faithful followers) in the barren dessert that is http://www.bjandkaren.blogspot.com/ any longer, for, you have the water to quench our parched-blog-throats!

Karebear, I have written this on behalf of over half the internets. The ball is in your court. Your move.
Choose wisely.

Signed,
lc, not from The Hills or the cow

LC, I loved this! And Karen, yes, please come back! Your blog is one of my faves.
And please know I live in fear of you ever posting your jr. high diary entries on our blog! I am sure there is some wonderful stuff about me! Haha! Love you!

Jackson Hole Rector Family Favorites

We love to travel - honestly, can never get enough of it and hope to see so much of this big ole' world in this lifetime. Because we are not professional travelers (but like, can I sign up for that?) we have limited time and resources just like most people do. I LOVE to explore new places - cities, countries, cultures and we need to get to it if we want to even scratch the surface of globe trotting. There are, however, a few places that continue to call us back over and over again.... one, Hawaii: another post for another time, but we have been so fortunate to go almost annually with BJ's parents since I met and married him. What a gift we will never take for granted! We have so many fun memories, moments and suggestions for Maui and Kauai, but that I'll save that for another day. two, Jackson Hole: our very favorite summer destination. I cannot imagine growing tired of the Grand Tetons and this little spot of the country is our dose of heaven on earth. We've traveled a...

Where'd You Go, Bernadette?

THE OVER-SHARER SHARES AGAIN   For the very small handful of people who have asked, I’m answering to the masses (err, bigger handful). On February 1, I decided to take a social media fast. Our church was challenging us to a 21-day fast and I chose to fast not from food but from something else I had been looking to for satisfaction, delight or distraction. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and with the exception of popping on to facebook to check in with my business partners, I have found great freedom stepping away from social media (right now). Currently, I don’t have a plan to return, but I also know that I should never say never…. …Watch me pop right back in and eat crow in mere moments if I was to say I would be off of it forever. Honestly, social media has been a beautiful thing for me personally, and professionally, for well over a decade. It has allowed me to authentically and organically share my passions, ask my questions, get and give referrals, build and reconn...

12 years later.

Tonight, 12 years ago, I enrolled as a Rodan + Fields consultant. I’ve shared so many times about my journey and how I am still taken by surprise for that level of bravery to embark on a professional journey I was so scared to do. Today, on what should be the celebration of my Rodanniversary, has instead turned out to be one of the most surreal, painful, and grief-filled moments of my entire life. The Rector’s livelihood was taken away in an instant with a restructuring of R+F’s business model… I woke up today having no clue I would be receiving this news and am finishing the day pinching myself to see if I am really and truly experiencing this nightmare.  I have one million thoughts and none at all at the exact same time. Tonight, after processing the reality for myself and with BJ, we chose to sit Eleanor and Tripp down to have the impossible conversation with them - one we genuinely never dreamed could ever come about. And I never want to forget what we talked about around our d...
