The week is ending on a really high note, because as of today we are officially done with calls and meetings for the wedding! Just the fun stuff from here on in. I have started working on our guestbook, which I’m going to scrapbook, I bought some beads and earring hooks for earrings that I [...]

One Month

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

One month today until we’re married.
I’m processing a lot, thinking a lot about what all of this means – and so early in my life – but mostly I’m giddy and excited. Bachelorette talk has started, the bridesmaid dresses are in, and suddenly this feels like a wedding.

Apple Butter & Blueberry Jelly

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

I got into canning last year when I found a recipe for High Bush Cranberry Jelly that my grandmother used to make when she was alive.

House Love: Soaker Tub

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

When we first bought the house I wasn’t sure about not having a stand up shower. I was very enthusiastic about the soaker tub, but the lack of a full shower….it left me skeptical.
But the moment I stepped into the bathroom after we bought the house, I was in love.

There is nothing that slows me [...]

The Puppies at 16 Weeks

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Somehow we have already had the puppies for nearly a month, and August 12th was the one month anniversary of our move into our first house. And we’re nearly one month out of the wedding. This summer has evaporated from under me faster that I thought it could, even with everything that’s going on.
This week [...]
