Backwards Bride

September 30, 2009

Note:  I started writing this post on Sunday night and then life got very hectic. Keeping in the spirit of doing everything totally backwards for my wedding festivities – this weekend I had two events happen in my honor – a bridal shower and then a bachelorette party.  Even though these are both things that […]

Invitations in the Mail

September 23, 2009

The invitations for our “soiree” went in the mail today.  Instead of going for a traditional, frilly thing – I designed these myself and made sure that they were very reflective of both Danny and myself.  The decision to do this did not exactly sit well with my mother – and, I hope that when […]

House Hunting v. 2.0

September 20, 2009

Another Saturday, another house hunting adventure. Like the past two weekends, we headed out with the realtor on Saturday to see another round of houses.  This weekends outing was much more promising than the others.   We found two places that we really liked and today we decided to go see a house we looked […]

House Hunting

September 17, 2009

I have totally neglected this blog.  I am so, so bad at remembering to grab my camera when I leave the condo.  Not to mention, I am still a little gun shy about taking random pictures in public.  Oh, the irony – especially considering that I consider photography to be a hard core hobby of […]

Labor Day Weekend (Part 2)

September 11, 2009

Sunday was the real “outdoor adventure” part of our trip to the middle part NC.  On the agenda was the US National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, which is this huge, man-made facility that has all kinds of fun things like rafting, zip lining and a rock wall.  Even though I am super scared of heights, […]

Labor Day Weekend (Part 1)

September 9, 2009

Over Labor Day weekend we took a “mini-vacation” with our friends to Lake Wylie, SC to hang out at our friend Matt’s parents lake house.  We also hit up the US National Whitewater Center on Sunday for a fun day of “outdoor adventure” type activities. Everyone took different cars up to the final destination.  As […]

A soiree

September 3, 2009

So, I am designing the invitations to our party in November.  I don’t want to call the event a reception, because we are already married and that seems a bit stuffy.  I have taken to calling our event a “soiree.”  My dad seems to think that people will not know what a “soiree” is and […]

blah blah

September 2, 2009

I am really glad that we had the wedding that we wanted.  Planning for our November party has blown up and is making for some tense, stress filled days. We are still on the fence about whether or not we are going to do a “first dance” thing at our party.  Both of us are […]

Wedding Weekend Recap

August 30, 2009

After 5+ years of dating and only a mere 3 months of being engaged, Danny and I went and got ourselves married on Friday morning.  Everything worked out perfectly.  We had decided about 3 weeks ago to change our ceremony from a 6:30pm start time to a 9AM start.  It was a good thing because […]

Are you kidding me?

August 26, 2009

T-minus 2 days (actually more like 1.5 days) until the ceremony.  I am a hesitant to call it “the big day” because we are having a party in November that will for sure be a blow out bash.  But, I guess in the history of my life, actually getting married is a pretty monumental event […]
