registry fun

so mark and I recently attempted to start our wedding registry... after many glass and sterling silver items later I'm starting to wish we could add a little more fun to it all. Granted its all things that we need and want, but wouldn't it be fun to also throw some items like this on there?

engagement pics... round one

last weekend mark and I went up to the nisqually national wildlife refuge where mark's brother, steve, took some pictures of us for our "save the date" postcard which we need to get in the mail asap... despite the rain and enormous gusts of wind we managed to have some fun out there...

so we're thinking this last one for our "save the date" postcards. stay tuned for round two... coming soon :)

books, books, books...

so mark and I are talking about building ceiling to floor built-in bookshelves in the little "nook" we have that currently is a mini office/storage area... I've ALWAYS wanted a wall of books so can't wait for mark to design something :)
