Mountain Jam 2012. So. Much. Love.
-
Friday, June 8, 2012 will be the ONE YEAR MARK.
It’s go time, folks. After two (holy crap how did I get through them?) years of what I like to call “softly easing into it” planning, it’s time for things to get real.
Luckily, having so much time has allowed us to book the church, reception site, and photographer that we were set on. So those are out of the way.
Next week (because I’m heading up the mountain for Mountain Jam Thursday, and I won’t be home til Monday) I’ll be calling a very dear family friend, Trudy, and setting up a meeting with her to discuss catering. Trudy’s family owns a restaurant here in town that I’m pretty everyone in my family has worked at, myself included. They have a standard catering menu, but for friends and family it’s a different story. When I talked to Trudy a few weeks ago, she said “I’m not even going to bring a menu to our meeting. We’ll start with your ideas, and go from there.” That’s what I like to hear :)
Keith and I also have to meet with the priest in the next few weeks (we were originally supposed to over spring break, but ended up being too busy), for what he calls an opportunity to “get to know us as a couple.” We’ve both gone to St. Mary’s for years, so it’s a comfortable environment for us and that should go well.
I’ve been getting really excited to put this all together. So many fun ideas, and I can’t wait to see how this is going to turn out!
Love & Love & 6/8/13

Remember that time I couldn’t see for three hours? holydilationbatman.
So, I went to the eye doctor today. Got everything all set for my new glasses, which come in about a week.
While there, I was told that, even though I have astigmatism in both eyes (the left being worse than the right) in my case it isn’t related to the shape of my cornea…. because apparently mine are perfectly spherical?
“Very few people have perfectly spherical corneas, but you do…. which is even more rare, because you also have astigmatism…”
Thanks Doc.
………. I’m considering putting it on my resume.

Paper Lantern Makeover | Green Wedding Shoes
One of the cheapest ways to decorate is with paper lanterns. And painting/decoupaging is one of the easiest ways to make them your own! This is a beautiful mix of flowers cut from fabric and pastel paints in coordinating colours. Although it’s designed for a wedding it would be perfect for any room of your house. I can see these in baby’s rooms too - maybe cut out animals or abstract designs?
I’d probably go for a different design, but I LOVE this idea.

Question: My fiance HATES being photographed, so photos of the two of us are always less-than stellar. We’re considering a photojournalist-style wedding photographer, but we’re worried about how to pose for the portrait shots and the billion other photo ops on our wedding day. To make things more…
I seriously cannot wait. I. CAN’T. WAIT.

I was sitting at the dining room table with Kendall today, playing Beauty Shop and painting her tiny little nails. She had this little green ribbon that she’s been playing with lately (wrapping it around everything, using it as a “super belt,” hanging it on things “in case we need to climb that later…” - she’s basically obsessed) and she started dangling it over the edge of the chair for Lucy to play with. She leaned a little too far to one side and I instinctively reached out to put my hand on the arm of the chair, anchoring it down, keeping it on an even keel so that she wouldn’t go toppling over.
An every day occurrence. Just an ordinary instinct. Something that I normally wouldn’t have even thought about. But in that moment, something really powerful hit me.
The other day, while I was in the kitchen making my breakfast Keith was sitting at the table with her, eating his and reading the paper. She was sitting in the same chair, climbing all over and being just as rambunctious as she is every other morning. I looked up from the frying pan ready to tell her to settle and saw her dancing around - wiggling every which way and Keith, eyes on the newspaper, with one hand outstretched holding onto the arm of her chair.
That’s not something every guy would think to do.
But my guy loves my girls.
And I love him.

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Four-year-old comic book fan Anthony Smith is deaf in his right ear and has hearing damage in his left. He also refused to wear his hearing aid (which he calls “Blue Ear” because it is blue), because “superheroes don’t wear hearing aids.” So in a long-shot attempt to help her son, Anthony’s mom emailed Marvel for ideas.
“She didn’t know a specific person to write to here at Marvel, and even figured it might get caught in our spam filters, but she sent it in anyway, because that’s the kind of great parent Christina is,” said Marvel editor Bill Rosemann. “And it was her inspiring effort to help her son that touched so many of us here. As a fellow parent of a toddler, I can understand where she’s coming from, so I forwarded the email around the rest of Editorial, asking what we could do to help, and like when Cap yells, ‘Avengers Assemble,’ the gang leapt into action.”
Not only did Anthony receive an image of the superhero Hawkeye, who lost 80 percent of his hearing back in the ’80s and wore hearing aids — Anthony also received a drawing of a brand-new superhero: “Blue Ear.”
Now, with his hearing aid back in, Anthony is able to “fight battles and help people.” His preschool, for hearing-impaired kids, recently hosted a superhero week to inspire the students to overcome their limitations.
DON’T miss the video. It’s the best thing you’ll see all day.
