Life in Color — a scrappy Log Cabin quilt block pieced in pink and green prints.
  • Yesterday in between packing and moving my man I stopped to see Michele and little V. I had to show her the photo strips from the photo booth. They are freaking hilarious. Plus it was unseasonably sunny and warm and sitting out in the sun for a while seemed like a good idea to me. Besides I’m sure V really missed me:

    And this was after I told her I’d take her to Disney Land, which was totally awesome by the way. But the pictures to that adventure are on Bj’s computer, and I don’t have a hard copy of wedding photos, so we’re going to be jumping around this week.

    Not as cute is all of Bj’s boy stuff in my our cute little cottage. Everything he owns is big: big computer, big clothes, huge shoes, argh.  I am going through a major editing process, we are going to have two huge sales really soon to get rid of all the extra. And we opened all of our presents last night and something went screwy with the registry so we got three of somethings, but not enough of our china, and silverware, so we also have a big pile of returns. It’s very exciting to have Bj here all the time. I keep expecting him to go home. We even packed up his cubicle, which I had never seen before. When I was sitting in the lobby a security guard came over to ask me if I needed help. "No," I said, "I’m just waiting for my husband to bring the car around." So weird saying it, my husband. But I love it. And I love that I’ll be seeing more of Bj. He’s working remote from our house and has a little office space set up downstairs across from mine. I better go clean out the storage room because him and Sciarrino are due back soon with another load of stuff!!!

  • Hello blog world! I’m back and I’m married! The wedding was so special and the reception was absolutely fabulous. Perfection, Bj and I can’t stop talking about it. The honeymoon was so great, and now I’m moving my hubby down to "our" house. I’m up the apartment right now cleaning and packing. I can’t wait to get settled into married life. But I wanted to give you a little glimpse of our party courtesy of Angela right here. Angela does professional photography so she put a few of our pics up on her site. Thanks Angela!

  • Yesterday, they day I took around my camera but did nothing with it, I picked up Ceara and Grant from the airport! My friends arrived earlier than expected and I was still in my wedding dress trying to figure out if my chosen underwear would show through when she texted me. I hopped over a bridge and picked them up. We did a few things, then headed to Salem. We had a few minuets to chat with Ceara’s mom, pick up something, fax things, and blah, blah, blah before we headed back up to Portland, this time with my mom. We met Sciarrino at Barefoot Sage, an awesome place that does only feet and leg massage. My mom packed cute little dinners for us, and everything. Unfortunately I was in such a state of relaxation that I totally forgot I even owned a camera. Then I left in in my mom’s car so I don’t even have proof that Ceara is here! But I do have proof of another awesome friend:

    Ya, we’re all a little tired. I stayed up until almost three last night cleaning because I couldn’t bare the thought of, not only Taro seeing my house so messy, but also coming back to it like that after the honeymoon. I have been getting more wedding stuff done,

    Awe it’s such cuteness V’s dress. I sewed a button in the back this time, and the ribbon on to the dress since she’s much more mobile and I don’t want here chewing it. Back to the food:

    Which obviously gets Bj very excited. And me too, yum yum yum

    Brent came over to liven up the crowd, and I had to get a picture of all of us:

    I love that picture, I’m setting up the tri pod here, and I always find those kind of pictures interesting.
    All

    Awe Brent, I know I can always count on you or Bj for super crazy pictures. And one more favorite:

    Taro, checking on my weight gain. As soon as he came in it was like he was never gone. I miss my roomie oh so much. Well I think I’m signing off until the end of next week. I don’t think I’ll have much access to a  computer, but we’ll see. Tomorrow night is the bachlorette, and every thing’s been kept a secret from me so I have no idea what to expect. Then Friday the rehearsal, and Saturday’s the day. Sunday we have a little after brunch and we take off for our honeymoon! It’s all going to be a blur I know, like that picture up there, a moment here and gone. Thank you for all your wonderful comments, I am trying to breathe, and enjoy everything as full as I can.
