Happy St. Patrick's Day

"May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow,
and may trouble avoid you wherever you go."

It wouldn't be a holiday without some sort of garland decoration :) I hope everyone has a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Simple Things

"walk in the rain
smell the flowers
stop along the way
build sandcastles
go on fieldtrips
find out how things work
tell stories
say the magic words
trust the universe"

Peace

{taken from car while driving to Winter Park, CO a few years ago}

Photo CDs From Our Wedding

{our CDs}

{a surprise photo book from our photographer, Mary Basnight}

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything."

-Aaron Siskind

Yesterday we received the CDs with all of the photographs from our wedding! Now what to do with 779 photographs? :)

I ♥ Snowflakes

"Under the microscope, I found that snowflakes were miracles of beauty; and it seemed a shame that this beauty should not be seen and appreciated by others. Every crystal was a masterpiece of design and no one design was ever repeated. When a snowflake melted, that design was forever lost. Just that much beauty was gone, without leaving any record behind."

-Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley

Family

"Other things may change us,
but we start and end with family."
Anthony Brandt

Cute Quote

We have been making the wine for our wedding but it didn't quite turn out as we had planned so we have decided to use it for something else. This week we went to Trader Joes and bought the wine for our wedding instead. When I was putting everything away I noticed this quote on the paper bag from Trader Joes and I thought it was really cute :)

Gift From the Sea

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books :)

Love the One You're With

I can't wait to read Emily Giffin's new book. I think I'm going to save it for the beach the week after the wedding :)
