New Look

If you haven’t noticed, our blog has a new look. Tonight I played around with different layouts and this is what I ended up with. I still haven’t wrapped my head around how these layouts work so it was a bit frustrating at times. I’m going to play around with it a little more since I’m not 100% happy with it, but it’s a start. We’ll see where this goes.

This image is currently my desktop and it makes me really happy.

Sewing

I’ve started a new sewing project (a request from a co-worker) and it inspired me to re-list some items in our etsy store. You can buy 8″X10″ prints of these photos I took at my sisters old tailoring business.

Enjoy!

Photobooth

I imagine we’ll be posting a lot about our wedding. Another HUGE thing that’s happened in the past 7 months that we haven’t posted anything about. We put so much work into trying to make it a wonderful and amazing day. For the most part, we succeeded. There were definitely somethings I would have changed, but I’m not going to think about them. Instead, I’m going to start off with the Photobooth that we rented. One of the best ideas we had!! It was a splurge for us, but in the end it was worth it. So many great memories are captured in those strips of black and white photos. We definitely suggest it to anyone who wants to try something different than a traditional wedding album.

Here are photos that my roommate from college, Rachel, took from the outside: (click for bigger image)

And ones of my brother and his girlfriend on the inside:

Summertime

If you’ve been trying to view our site lately, you probably noticed that it was re-directing you to a page saying we haven’t uploaded any content. Turns out that I needed to renew our domain name, which ended up being a week-long, super frustrating process. A number of times, I felt like ripping my hair out, screaming, and crying out “Why is this happening to me?!” But it’s all figured out and we’re back up.

Today I’ve been uploading like crazy to Flickr. Now that there video uploading capabilities, I’ve added a year worth of videos, that i’m sure no one but my family cares to see. Along with about a million photos of my family.

Above is a little sampler of photos from our wedding. Our photographer, Lauren Crew, is amazingly talented!!! Check out her site here.

Tonight

This is what the sky looked like tonight! I figured if our posts are going to be so few and far between we could at least leave you with a beautiful image to look at!

The wedding was wonderful and the house is livable. Now, we can sit back and relax and hopefully POST MORE OFTEN!!!
