consta and i have been color disputing. as much as i love the navy, khaki, yellow and white for a summer wedding near the water - i can't have him feeling uncomfortable wearing something he hates. it's crazy to think i can't find anything that would go with black, but HOORAY! i found a gorgeous bridesmaid dress tonight from watters - at least i think so. i have no idea if the girls will like it, or how much it costs. there is a place near my house that carries it so i plan on calling tomorrow for the price. it comes in this pretty mocha color and a lovely jewel tone blueish-green.

ahhhh!!!! i saw some of these really cool bouts made out of objects in a magazine. i can't remember where i saw them, but i was visiting 100 layer cake and saw her post for fritts rosenow bouts. i'm so excited that they have ones made out of playing cards!

yes, i know. it's the small things in life that make me happy.

i can't wait to try tyler's ultimate upside-down french toast. it sounds really really delicious, and looks even better. i wish we had smell-o-vision capabilities.

i think i'm going to treat myself to a new ipod. i need something to motivate me to get back into the gym and start running. this might be just the ticket.

I'm calling today to book The Easton Club for our wedding next year. We're hoping for June 26th. The place is doing a ton of reservations - hopefully, they'll be as beautiful as they sound. We're still going to keep looking because this place is a bit far but, it really is exactly what we want.

hooray!! i joined the baltimore rowing club!

i plan on starting my own herb garden when i move. my mom never cooked with fresh herbs and now that i've started to cook with them, i can't do without. these little markers are pretty darling.

i had a really relaxing weekend. i saw beauty in the beast with my parents for mother's day. consta brought me breakfast in bed. and i got these pretty little red flowers (poppy's maybe?) from the florist for free! :) so many happy in so little time.

Here is another portfolio piece. I'm finally counting down my last days as a graduate student. I loved my time at UB but i'm getting this antsy feeling of freedom. FREEDOM from homework, and late classes and stressing to be creative - instead of just being creative.

I've decided that home smells like newspaper and espresso. The ultimate relaxation.
