Reading Lately

Nothing says “I love you” like some good reads right?! No, seriously. I think books are the gifts that keep on giving. This year I decided to gift Dillon (and myself) some new reading material for Valentine’s Day! Since we’ve been working on a journal for our marriage, I’ve been wanting to find some books…

Invitation Suite

As part of our planning process, we had begun to look at inspiration for an invitation suite. Some are so unique and cool. We had so many options and different routes we could go.

The Art of Nothing

Fortunate enough for us, D and I were able to take a few days after our wedding to relax in sunny Arizona. Although, while we were there, it was chilly AZ. Cloudy skies and upper 50’s…but, we were happy with it. It is crazy how literally over night your months of planning are complete. You…

Bird’s-Eye View: Madison

Falling more and more in love with this city each and every day. And, maybe I am crazy, but I am actually excited for all this to be blanketed by fresh snow. I know I will regret that statement come March… Kelly
