Merry Holidays!

Lance and I are staying in SLC this year for Christmas…and so unlike the rest of the world…I am at work today (gasp!).  I know I know…I am pretty hardcore when it comes to work.

As I watch the snow falling outside my office window…I figured this was as good a time as any to wish you all out there in BlogLand a very Happy/Merry/Festivus Holiday!!

Here’s a sneak peek inside our little Holiday Abode…

We’ve got our tree (albeit fake)…

our stockings hung…

The best smelling “winter” candle of all time…

A few too many e-pics on display….(well according to Lance anyways)

Some yummy holiday treats…

A beautiful handmade wreath on our door (from my EAD secret santa)…

and some little paw-prints in the snow (from Nori…she loves to sneak out)!

So to your and yours…I wish you a very Merry Holiday!!

Why yes…I AM a tease

I know I know…I feel really bad about teasing our Save-The-Dates…and then completely disappearing off the face of blog-land.  Not to worry…I am alive and well…just been hectic at work and busy getting things festive for the Holidays (read: shopping/packaging/wrapping/crying over the husker loss to Texas/Vike-watching in AZ/eating a lot/kicking butt in Fantasy).

So…onto our Save-the-dates!

A little back story…as much as I would LOVE to claim that I have mad design skills…it is sadly not the case.  However…our photographer does…so that is exactly who we had whip up our STDs!

We started with something like this…

and ended up with this!

pretty darn cute no?  I love them…I think they fit the look/feel we are going for with our wedding!  Fun, relaxed, and country-ish.  (the little bird is pry my 2nd favorite part after our pic!)

The size is similar to a letter envelope…perfect for hanging on the fridge!

So there ya have it….I hope it was worth the wait!  I’ve already received several wonderful comments on them from our friends and family…so that’s good!  Oh and suddenly our website has over 600 views…so maybe I should get around to finishing it huh.  (hmmmm…maybe I should do a post on that little project at some point too…)

mini love-book

So last Thursday…when our beloved huskers were down 12-0 against mizzou…Lance said he needed to get some air (he gets really into the games…) so I told him to go get the mail.  Well guess what he came back with…

A little album with some of our ‘love shoot’ pics from Khara!  Now I won’t say that getting this in the mail caused the huskers to come back in the 4th quarter and score  27 unanswered points and win…but it may have put me in a good mood…which kept me from giving up…and I’m pretty sure that’s why they won.

Anyways…our cute little album now has a home on our coffee table…along with two other little photo-books I’ve made on Shutterfly (i know…not nearly the quality as Khara’s but still….).  I like to refer to them as our ‘love-books’….Lance confuses them with coasters.

I love our new “mini love-book” …I’ve pry looked through it 25,000 times already.

Now i just need to order some big prints to frame and hang all over our little townhome!

Rockin’ the Lens!

ACK!  So it’s been a week since I last posted…yeah sorry bout that.  But I have some eye candy for you…so hopefully that helps!!

So after 3 weeks of patiently (read: hitting refresh every 5mins on Khara’s blog) awaiting our e-pics…they are done!!  Of course it was when I was NOT looking that she posted them…I was in the midst of making dinner when I got a text…”your pics are up on the blog”!  WHAT?!  You better believe I inhaled my food (not so good) so I could get on my macbook and check those suckers out!

So without further ado…a small sample of our pics

Downtown Lincoln…CORN…a rockin’ tire-swing…mugs with our cats’ faces on them….I can’t get over how awesome they are!!  There’s a ton more in the online gallery I have to sift through and pick my favorites…it will be hard to not order all of them!

You MUST run over to Khara’s blog and check out the rest…and then come back and tell me which ones are your favorites!  OH and if you’re family or just curious…shoot me an email and I can give you the info to see the gallery!!

Corn Country

My current wedding-related obsession is engagement-pics.  With ours coming up quickly….I have been trying to put together outfits and ideas… Khara seems to have some fun stuff in store for us and I can’t wait!!

Of course I would be insanely happy if we are able to snap some beautiful country shots like these.

All pics from Lauren Clark’s photo blog…go check it out for more eye-candy!
