I’ve decided that I need to start each of my weeks on a positive note. Mondays don’t have to suck, it’s all a matter of perspective and I’m choosing to change my perspective. Every Monday I will be posting 3 things I am grateful for or 3 things that make me happy. These may be things, events, people, places, things I like to do, they may be totally and utterly random but sometimes we need a little random in our lives. Some days I’ll explain them further, other days, I won’t. ‘Tis life. Read More

Our Fairytale Wedding: Rustic & Magical & Geeky, Oh MY!
So wedding season is fast approaching, and each year I can’t help but think back to the day that Chris and I promised to live by each other’s mutual weirdness for the rest of our lives.
