tiffany's bridal shower.

My best friend!

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of going to my maid of honor and bride to be's shower. 

The food was amazing, props to her sister and mom for organizing a lovely afternoon brunch.

Less than one month till her wedding, I could not be more happier for her. No one deserves it more.

I love you Tiff!

engagement session! finally!

After being strictly prohibited to post photos from our engagement shoot, I am now able to since our save the dates went out!

The meaning behind the photographs is why I truly love them.

We shot at West Gresham Elementary School, the place where Stephen and I first met.

wallpaper shelves.

Apartment Therapy gave this great idea of wallpapering shelves to spruce up an area.

I'm craving shelves. And a desk area.

I love a good workspace, ya know for all that important business stuff I do.

New purchase.

My new lamp!

The top silver one on the left. 

I like it so much I may just buy another one for our bedroom.

my next DIY.

Homemade Stamps!!

Party favors.

While I found this creative idea on a wedding blog, I think this is such a cute and easy way to say Thank You to someone.

Everyone likes homemade sugar cookies. Everyone.

hello 2011.

Happy New Year!


In 2010 I:
-Watched the Ducks play in the Rose Bowl (and lose)
-Made the impulse decision to enroll in MA school and am so proud of myself for it
-Became more crafty through blog inspiration
-Baked far too many sweets
-Tried my best to maintain the amazing friendships I have in my life
-Left a job with the comfort of my family for an uncertain (and often nerve wracking) job in the medical field
-Officially marked the Redwoods off my bucket list
-Found out I will become an aunt (again!)
-Did more self-reflection than ever before, which is not always easy or pretty
-Got engaged to my best friend!


While 2010 was wonderful to me, it won't hold a candle to 2011!

Our wedding day is 189 days away! Yay for the New Year!
