Life: Wedding Planning...

We are in full on wedding planning mode.  The reason I haven't posted anything in a while is because I can't pull myself away from my wedding blogs long enough to see what else is going on out in the blogosphere.  We've found some great venues but it's all (already!) starting to stress me out a bit.  So today, while reading yet another wedding write-up, I ran across this quote which I immediately emailed to myself as a constant reminder of what it's all about:

From Ruffledblog.com:
The MOST important thing you can do to preserve your sanity is to keep a proper perspective! Remember why it is you’re getting married in the first place, and when things become more stressful than you feel you can handle, recall that at the end of the day, you will be married to your best friend in the world. -the groom
Can I get an Amen?!

Life: Shutterilla - Year Two!

Shutterilla Love

10 Burns ago we met for the first time in Homeslice.  For the following 8 years our paths would casually cross at community-based events.

Two years ago today the stars aligned and you asked me out on a date.  My life instantly changed for the better.

10 days ago while participating in our 2nd Burn together (my 11th, your 9th) you held me close.  We were out at the Temple surrounded by friends.  The sun was peaking over the Black Rock Ridge.  You professed your love for me....for US!  And before I knew it you were on one knee, holding the most beautiful ring I've ever seen,  asking me to be your wife.

YES was (and will always be) the only answer.

Happy Anniversary, My Love!  You've made me the happiest woman in the solar system.  Life these past two years has been filled with laughter, love, support, commitment, community, creativity and adventure.  I've never known love like this.  You are my dream come true.

You are my one.

Truly, Madly, Deeply...

Finally heading homeward after our Tahoe Decompression. We've made detours through June Lake Loop, Mammoth (Mmm, Schatz's Bakery) and just hit some magnificent hot springs. I feel like J-E-L-L-O!
