Now that we’re getting close to making everything official, I’ve been getting excited about engagement shoots and save the dates. I’m facing a bit of a quandary on the photographer front. As we’re getting [...]

One more use for that mason jar
One thing I’ve always loved about decorated spaces is the amazing things you can do with lighting. Yesterday, on the drive home, I thought of a really neat outdoor lighting display that I want to try to implement for my outdoor wedding. Fireflies and Midwestern summer nights go together hand in hand. How neat would [...]

My Flip Flops Miss Me
As we prepare for yet another winter storm to freezer blast us, I thought I would share my mental model of winter. Before Christmas, cold weather is charming: the leaves are changing color, fall is in the air! Everyone wants to wear sweaters and drink hot chocolate.

This year, the excitement set in even earlier than usual, sometime in early October. Perhaps [...]

It’s the countdown, the countdown to HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!! (part 1) If you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty excited and counting down the hours until the midnight premier tomorrow night.

Shhh, be vewy vewy quiet…
… I’m hunting for job opportunities! My whirlwind of a summer has come to an end and now it’s finally time to face the real world. Instead of heading to class like the rest of my friends, my days include a lot of time on an apartment futon and near maximum tab capacity Firefox windows. [...]

I think one of the key reasons I’ve remained loyal to McDonalds chicken nuggets – aside from the fact that they’re delicious (I don’t care what you say) – is because of their amazing sweet and sour sauce. I don’t know if my mom first ordered it for me or if it was a chance [...]

The Winning Days (are over)
Oh, USA. Guess this is the end of the line for us, but we can at least be proud we got this far and that more people have been watching from our country than before. It’s all up to England now! Oh, they better bring their game tomorrow, Germany is not a pushover. I finally [...]
