Our story in pictures

For the wedding I decided that I wanted to have a scrapbook with Ryan and I's pictures from the past year with our sides of the story as well. After finding supplies at a going-out-of-business sale, I remembered that I hate scrapbooking. I love being crafty, I just don't have the patience to scrapbook. Instead, I've been converted to online albums such as those through winkflash, snapfish, shutterfly, etc. Then I found Blurb. I found that I have much more creative freedom with them and the price was very comparable as well. I just finished the RA Scrapbook for work and it dawned on me to use that instead of my horrible scrapbooking skills to tell our story. So here we sit tonight writing "our story." I'm on my couch in Lincoln and he's sitting in Omaha. Through googletalk we've been sharing portions of what we've written so far and loving every minute of remembering the beginning. It is so much fun hearing it from our two perspectives in our own words that show our personality through every sentence. I can't wait for the final product!

My Grad Announcement

I have lots I could talk about...
Like the fact that I'm done with work at the Corps,
the wedding is in less than a month,
I take out my endowments in two weeks,
I move out of the dorms (for good this time!) next week,
yada yada yada
but I'm most excited about my grad announcement!
Not necessarily about graduation (though I am relieved it's all over),
I just love what I created!!

AND as a graduation gift my parents bought me the
ENTIRE Adobe Creative Suite
(Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver and more).
I cannot wait to start playing!!!!!

Oh, and I absolutely love how my wedding invitations
turned out and not to brag but I've had so many people say
they were the best they've ever seen which makes me
incredibly happy to hear.

I printed the top sheet on velum and attached it with a brad
to a piece of scrapbook paper that looked like cork board.
Aren't they adorable? :)

My Graduate!!!

Caitlin didn't know quite what to do when I was more excited for her graduation than she was! Not only do I get my fiance' back after a rigorous and ridiculous semester filled with finishing her master's and tackling two jobs all while trying to keep an attention whore of a soon-to-be-husband at bay , but we're under the 5 week mark until the Big Day! (I know that I'm way more demanding than both of her jobs, but hey, at least I do the dishes :) Things are finally coming together with graduation over, wedding coming up, and move to North Carolina soon to follow! We couldn't be happier with all the support our friends have offered and I was livin' the high life as Caitlin, along with our good friend Rob, showed up to support their significant others as they ran in Lincoln's half marathon this past week. They truly are athletic supporters ;)
