Where I Wanna Be

Note:  I started writing this post on Sunday night and then life got very hectic.
Keeping in the spirit of doing everything totally backwards for my wedding festivities – this weekend I had two events happen in my honor – a bridal shower and then a bachelorette party.  Even though these are both things that [...]

The invitations for our “soiree” went in the mail today.  Instead of going for a traditional, frilly thing – I designed these myself and made sure that they were very reflective of both Danny and myself.  The decision to do this did not exactly sit well with my mother – and, I hope that when [...]
