where have I been..

I've been writing my thesis. I've been posting on my life-blog a lot. Sometimes you just need a wed-break, you know. I sometimes feel as if there is all this pressure to post, post, post but I think that's also all in my head. So I just take some time off and only post when I feel like it. It's a good feeling.

I keep reading blogs though, and keeping up with the wed-world. I like the wed-world.

hell yeah: damask toilet paper

Yeah. At Winners in Vancouver, BC. the one on Marine Drive. $4.99 a roll. I'm thinking it might be good for some laughs, lol.

a sweet story

Go check out (oh, hello friend) for a sweet story that'll make you go awwww!

Photos and story in photographer's words here!

OMG.. yeah, I sound like a teenager BUT....

How could you not be excited about this? Go to the website, order some awesome swirly/damask picnic-ware, and have yourself an awesome bridal shower/engagement party/brunch the day after in style.

Yeah, I kind of love it.

rethinking the invitations: extra accents

I'm still thinking about paper - but honesty, when am I not thinking about paper - and I realized that there are some extra special little touches within invitation suites that I love.

Case in point: damask lined envelopes. There's something so luxurious about that aspect of it. I know most guests wouldn't care but I would. It would make me do the happy dance.

Case in point 2: vellum envelopes. As in, to hold the suite together. How cute is that? A place for everything and everything in its place. This makes the organizer in me very happy.

Case in point 3: Damask band. Again, it's just that organization aspect and that luxury feel, all tied together (ha!). There's nothing like receiving a packet in the mail and getting to untie ribbon and string. It's fun.

I'm having way too much fun with this, I know.

survey time:

/borrowed from Lucky in Love/

A survey that make me smile.

1. What are your middle names? Kelry for me and Jamie for him.

2. How long have you been together? Just passed the eight year mark on September 22. Long time.

3. How long did you know each other before you started dating? Years. I dated his cousin. He dated my bff. It was all good.

4. Who asked who out? I kinda held his hand and claimed his as my boyfriend. He didn't say anything so I took that as agreement. Months later, in December, he officially asked me out but we all agree my way was better.

5. How old are each of you? I'm 25 and he's 31. I tease him. It makes me smile.

6. Did you go to the same school? For a while we went to the same high school, but now, I go to Grad School and he welds.

7. Are you from the same home town? Same reserve, different parts.

8. Who is the smartest? I'm book smart, he's common-sense smart. I'll do things like put my finger in just cooked with oil to see if it's "hot" and then read a book a day. He'll do things like read a page a day, toss it away, then go fox the car. We both have our skills.

9. Who majored in what? I'm an English/Creative Writing/Native Studies major and he's a welder.

10. Who is the most sensitive? Around that time of the month, I'm an emotional mess (No, for reals). But I think he's sensitive - I always make sure I don't say things out of anger around him because I don't want to hurt his feelings.

11. Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? We have traveled from Charleston, SC to Vancouver, BC. Coast to coast babee!

12. Who has the worst temper? Ha. Me!

13. How many children do you want? I think we'll start with one (I'm the one actually having the kid here!) and we'll keep going if that doesn't freak me out. We both agree that more than one would be best. We both have four in our families so maybe that's what we're after.

14. Who does the cooking? Me, for the most part.

15. Who is more social? Me. I'm a little social butterfly, especially when I'm drinking beer. It's fabulous. He's way, way more shy and you have to seek him out.

16. Who is the neat freak? Me. It hits me at random times - usually Friday's or early AM's - and I just HAVE to clean.

17. Who is the most stubborn? I'm more vocal about it - "NO!" - and he's more silent about it - just won't do it - so we're both pretty stubborn.

18. Who wakes up earlier? Him. He actually works. I only write.

19. Where was your first date? Um. His grad?

20. Who has the bigger family? Me. There's a lot of us.

21. Do you get flowers often? No. Once in a while, he'll come home with a dozen roses but then I get suspicious - "What did you do?" - and he's usually done something, lmao.

22. How do you spend the holidays? I spend it with my family and he usually goes home for a couple days then comes and spend it with my family. That's the way I roll.

23. Who is more jealous? Me, if he's chatting girls I don't know. Him, if I'm chatting with ex-boyfriends. Ha.

24. How long did it take to get serious? It gets serious the day after you hold hands in the North. For real.

25. Who eats more? Him. Honestly.

26. What do you do for a living? I'm a student/working for the school and he's a welder.

27. Who does the laundry? I do, but he helps. Every couple weeks we haul laundry to the local laundromat (it's cheaper and faster than doing it in our laundry complex) and make a date of it. Starbucks, talking and laundry. It's nice.

28. Who's better with the computer? Me. He keeps crashing MY computers.

29. Who drives when you are together? It's usually Allen but after this last incident, it may be me now.

30. What is your song? We don't really have a "us" song but the first song we danced to was "Angel" - by Shaggy. It was his grad song, lmao.
