Thank You Notes.

One weeknight last week, we decided it was time...  to order our wedding thank you notes.

I figured this would be a long, arduous project.  But...  this has not exactly been the case.  They arrived in our mailbox on Tuesday.  And already, we've written and mailed 102!  Ha.  I've written a bunch, but truth be told, Jack has been all over the thank you writing, for which I am very grateful.

Our new custom return address stamp (awesome wedding gift) has expedited the process a bit, but in general, postcards seem to be the way. to. go.  So fast and easy!  Just 30-something more to write and we're done...  What a nice surprise.  :)

I need a simple project to infuse daily, consistent creativity into my life.  Enter: The March Photo a Day Challenge.  I've never done one of these before, so I think it's high time I give it a whirl.  :)  Stay tuned...

December 17.

In the midst of making wedding decisions a few months back, the topic of videography came up.  Should we have someone tape our wedding or is that something we could do without?  We went back and forth, but as the day grew closer, we decided it was important and asked a friend to videotape.

...SO glad we did.

We got the "highlight reel" back today and love it!  Our friend, Daniel, did a beautiful job of capturing little moments, details, laughs, and joy.  I'm so glad we have this tangible reminder of our wedding day!

Welp...

A lot of major "life events" have taken place in the last 1.5 months!  So, um... We got married.  We went on our awesome honeymoon to Europe.  While in London, I had a birthday and turned 25 (eek!).  We came back.  We merged our bank accounts.  I changed my name.  And now, we're settling into our home and "married life."

And it... is... awesome.

:)

Jack moved into the house back in 2009, but I still feel like I'm "moving in" and trying to find spaces and homes for things.  But... it's really fun.  I love having a space to call our own.  I love figuring out life together!

I'll share some wedding/honeymoon pics soon, but for now...  here's one of my fav's from Ireland!

Countdown.

1...  More day of work this week.

2...  Days until the Rehearsal Din.

Deep breath.

So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so stinking excited.

Can't handle my life right now.  :)

Life lately.

Life has been zany lately.  Not in a bad way.  Just... reallyreallyreally busy.  And tiring.  And crazy.  And a little bit stressful.  And exciting.  I have so much joy and anticipation in my bones.  25 days till I get to marry my best friend.  I can hardly stand it!

I'll blog more... someday.  But for now...  enjoy this fantastic light show from the 6th Annual Castlegiving celebration.  You're welcome.  :)

Sorry for being MIA lately.  It's because of this:
