fingerprint love (again).

I am obsessed with this print. And fingerprints lately too.

The interwoven identities to make the heart. Sigh.

Can I convince Stephen to let another print join our humble abode?

labor day weekend.

I am so excited for labor day weekend to come.

Not only are my beloved ducks playing their season opener (hello again college football, I have missed you), but Stephen and I are joining our other favorite engaged couple and going to the Oregon State Fair.

Have I mentioned I love the fair: animals, rides, the food. It really can't be beat!

Saturday cannot come soon enough!

happy birthday shannon!

Officially a member of the 23 club!

DIY pears.

I imagine this may look easier than it will be, but with a styrofoam ball, twig, and grass reeds I could have my very own pears!

wedding date is set!

The ceremony will take place on the rooftop terrace at the Ecotrust building.

The reception will be held in the Ecotrust Conference Center one floor down.

I will become Mrs. Chinn come July 9th, 2011!

I love these prints by Freya Art.

Simple. Endearing. Full of love and possibility.

engagement celebration!

My beautiful ladies joined me in celebration of my engagement at Beauty Bar.

We sipped martinis while getting manicures all the while talking of weddings, new homes, and life.

Perfect night.

I'm so lucky to have such loving friends.

Our trip to San Francisco!

To sum it up: Six Flags, Pier 39 & Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street (most crooked street in the world), Full House house, Painted Ladies, Golden Gate Park, Paddle boating on Stow Lake, Chinatown, Twin Peaks, Golden Gate Bridge, Baker Beach, and Land's End.

Well I'm exhausted just listing off all that.

It was an amazing trip!
