Talk about cute!

I want an entire wall devoted to these adorable photos.  This guy right here, Jameson,  looks like someone's stressed out coworker or a crazy uncle or something.  I love it!

I can think of a few pictures of my fiance making this same facial expression as Deano here.  No joke!

Just look at this Dapper fella. 

Seriously, what a genius series of photographs.  I wish that were my day job!

You can buy these prints at Christine Edwards' Etsy shop. 

Another very special day!

HIP-HIP-HOORAY! for the birthday of a very special someone, my current husband, Bort.

Yes, our birthdays are back-to-back – what are the odds of that, ‘eh?!

To the handsomest, cleverest, kindest, funniest and generally loveliest man in my life: here’s to another wonderful year for you.

Yours truly + always :-)

A very special Birthday

Ladies and Gentledudes,

Today is Anna-Maria's birthday!!!  Happy Birthday to my most favorite Londonite in the world!  What an amazing friend she is.  And she's not just my most favorite person from London, she's truly a special woman and I love and adore her with all of my heart. 

Anna, I hope you have a wonderful day.  I hope Bort treats you to an amazing time full of cake, romance, gourmet food and whatever else your cute little heart desires.  Here's to another wonderful year!  We are all blessed to have you in our lives!

2010: The year of travel and love

This year has been declared the year of travel, the year of love, the year of happiness and new beginnings. 

First up: California

San Francisco, Napa, Lake Tahoe all in one long weekend! 

It will be fun, productive, romantic, adventurous and lovely all in one!






Next up (March): Austin, TX

Badger & the boys are playing SXSW again this year and I am going with them.  I went with them in 2007 and had a really great time.  So I'm pretty excited for this years adventure too!









Honeymoon: Italy

Since my mom bought us an Italy travel guide, I guess it's been finalized.  We're going to Italy!  I don't know when (obviously after August), I don't know if we can afford it (where there's a will there's a way) and I don't know how long we'll go (hopefully a long time).

Rumor has it, we may be traveling to Vegas for Badge's stepbrother's 21st birthday in November.  We'll see if we are traveled out or broke or what! 

It's going to be a wonderful year! 

Yellow Owl Workshop

 

Aren't they lovely?  I ordered the winter one for myself, but seriously wanted to order them all and stamp everything I own.  I saw an awesome save the date card in Martha Stewart Weddings which led me to this San Francisco-based shop.  Everything is adorably awesome. 

Once in a Blue Moon...

Happy New Year everyone!

Tonight's a blue moon! 
I'm so happy that the new year is upon us.  I've been ready for it for too long!  2009 just had to get both Badger & I one last time with sickness (and mine was certainly not pretty).  It hasn't been a good year for us with our health.  In January, we found out Badge has a heart condition after he fainted in the movie theater while we were watching The Wrestler (not serious, but it scared the bejeebus out of me).  This summer he threw his back out and found out he has scoliosis.  So now he's an old man with a bum back.  I have been sick so many times and had so many different health issues I've lost track. 

But there were some good times as well.  Like for instance, OUR ENGAGEMENT!  Some of our very best friends got married and we got to be in the wedding party!  I took a trip to New York with my stepbrother to see our friend Sarah get married!  We went to the Bahamas and California (both awesome).  We went on some cool trips to Louisville and Kansas to visit family and had some very great moments with very great people.

2010 will be an amazing year.  I'm keeping my chin up and staying positive.  My health will be better, I'll maintain good weight and get in better shape.  I'm geting married...to the most wonderful man.  In California!  Loads of other friends of ours are getting married this year too.  And I have family members who are expecting.  It will be joyous :)

I wish the same for all of you!  Have fun tonight, here's to hoping for that perfect new years kiss!  xoxo.

Check this out

These rings are so super amazing.  I love all the animal rings and the Life necklaces.  Seriously, take a sec to check them all out.  You'll thank me ;)

You should also take a bit to peruse this website.  Thanks for showing this to me, Jess Bohonik! (You should most definitely browse around her website, she's a mighty creative and awesome person).

Wisteria

Have any of you perused the products on wisteria.com?  I somehow stumbled upon this online store and immediately fell in love with so many things...and from the sale section nonetheless!

I love these botanical paintings.  I recently framed some leaves from the tree in front of our window after seeing a DIY project on Design Sponge.  I think these would mesh perfectly with the frames I have, wouldyou agree?

 These French seaside birds are so charming, I want the whole collection!

I'm starting to think that my niece, Allyson, desparately needs all of these and she needs to share with her Aunt Mimi.  Oh the cuteness!

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a log bench like this?  Maybe not so much in our tiny apartmnet, but in the big home I'm dreaming of, full of amazing rustic-chic things and a husband who walks around like a lumberjack and the goat grazing out in our woodsy backyard...seems like a perfect fit. 

Comical Comics

http://www.nataliedee.com/Wait, aren't all comics comical? Nevermind.  This morning on my way to work, I checked my Blackberry and saw an email that got me a bit down in the dumps, so what better way to remedy a heading-south-super-fast-kind-of-mood than by looking at Natalie Dee comics?!

Tee hee!
