from there to here


i've had a few people ask me about my blog lately, even al told me the other day that i needed to update this baby. well a lot has happened since november. i quit my job, suffered through another semester of school, planned our wedding, got married, took a semester off from school, and went back to work. after feeling miserable for about 9 months, i feel happier now than i've felt in a long time!


we've gotten some amazing gifts over the last several months and have had a blast using all our gift certificates to buy all the stuff we never felt we should before. our first wedding present was the beautiful heath shallow salad bowl from jen.


next was the large serving bowl from tricia, in aqua/turquoise -- two of the best colors ever invented.


we received a lot of gift certificates for heath and i bought the yellow vase i'd been eying for years. i was attempting to replace my ben owen vase -- which i broke a few years ago -- a gift from aurin and drew that i treasured. one day i'll get another, but i do love this heath piece.


we received this mustard colored bedspread and used some of our macy's money for these sheets that remind me of cotton ticking (but they are black, not blue).


leigh sent me these enamel ladels from labour and wait.


cristal gave us a homemade wedding cake.


we received all of our heath place settings.


and we got our first le creuset in avocado green. today we're off to ikea so i can buy a desk for the cabin. working up there on the sofa is not so great. i've been cleaning our house and cabin like mad, getting rid of stuff we don't need, organizing, tossing, donating..... i have the bug. but it feel so good to bring all these new treasures into our world.
