Featured Artist// CreativeMYK.com

I love the site, it has become so helpful when I’m at a creative roadblock, and has also helped with I’ve been stuck with a design and needed someone else’s point of view. There are some really talented people out there!

So anyway, I’m so honored to be featured. It made my day!

*PS. Thanks Valo for the awesome profile picture. I’m pretty sure they might have just liked my picture.

Thank You Cards

Today, I officially placed our order for our thank you postcards that I designed. I wanted to use one of our pictures that were taken by Valo, so I waited, and it gave Drew and I a break before we had to get crackin on those.

But here they are, I love them. But my hand is not looking forward to their delivery because all this writing it is going to be awful! Hope Drew starts practicing his pen-men-ship so that he can help!!

Gone Fishing

So a year or two ago, my dad got a fishing boat. It took me a few years to actually get on it and fish. The beginning of summer, I got up real early to go with my dad and sister Jess. We were out there for 5 hours and caught zero. It was sad.

So again, for my dad’s birthday I figured I’d try it one more time. If we didn’t catch anything I promised to never go again, for the fear of being bad luck. Turns out we caught 13.5 fish. Jess – 9. Me – 4.5. Dad – 0. I felt bad seeing as it was his birthday!

Here is a photo of me and my fish.

We threw back all our fish, but this one died because he swallowed the hook. Dang fishy. Sorry!

*PS .5 fish = fish on hook, out of water, but never made it onto boat.

One Month

It is crazy. Drew and I have been married for one month. Holy cow does time fly when were having fun. We’ve been enjoying getting to know each 0ther. But it’s been a great change in our lives. Because I’ve been behind on keeping this blog updated, here is a little recap of our first month being MARRIED!

We went on an amazing honeymoon. Had our first theft incident, but none the less, still madly in love and had a great time.
