A Weekend in Review

We took a trip to Las Vegas to visit Jason's parents and take them out for a super late birthday dinner celebration. It was a quick trip, but we'll be back soon. 

When you tell people in Southern California that you're going to Vegas for the weekend, the automatic assumption is you're going to be in extreme party mode when it actually means we're usually going to see family. It's funny how the idea of "going to Vegas" has evolved since I met Jason, but I like it much better now.

Trash the Dress Photos

Leah sent us the link to view our images from our trash the dress shoot. I am so in love with the pictures and really glad we ended up doing the additional shoot!

Words to live by

Thoughts for a Monday

Jason went out to dinner tonight for work which resulted in craft time.

Kirin has decided she no longer wants to walk on walks. She used to be the best walker. Trying to not give in to her results in just standing with her on the sidewalk for ten minutes thinking she'll budge soon enough. She doesn't.

Fall is coming. Which means the holidays are coming! I can't wait for all the upcoming holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Thanksgiving and Christmas are especially favorites because they give me warm and fuzzy feelings. This will be our first holiday season as a married couple and potentially the first holiday season one of us will spend away from our families on one of the holidays. This is a sad thought, but we'll see how it goes. On another note, we have leaves in our area that are as big as Kirin!

Also, I really love cursive lowercase 'g's for some reason. :]

Love Notes

 

In preparation for making the place cards for our wedding, my Maid of Honor (Christine) and I took a trip to Paper Source where we were introduced (re-introduced for me from childhood) to the wonderful world of embossing. You probably can't tell from the picture, but the little bear is embossed and the little heart balloons are just punched out of leftover scrapbook paper. This one was super easy and fun to make, but I feel like I could have done the strings better. This one ended up going to Christine and I wrote in the card that I'm going to do a whole series of animals with balloons cards to her so I guess there's always next time.

Unfortunately, I accidentally drew on the bear's head, but I'm just going to say that adds character. :]
