marvel at marta

marta, of Marta Designs, did a sweet shout-out to me and the husband on her blog today. it took me back to 31 days ago, reminding me of red velvet cupcakes, love from family and friends, sweet-smelling white orchids and chocolate raspberry mousse cups. 

it was the best day. 

i found marta through the blog world, most specifically, through my sweet friend whitney, and had no idea how much i would be using her for everything in the planning. and it was almost, even if she didn't know it, as if she was my own personal wedding consultant. she made me feel good about what i was doing, flattered me insesintly, and provided me lots of wedding and design knowledge. 

i marvel at marta's skills, class and eye for all things beautiful.

thank you marta. you just made my day.

for the love of hudson

{rachel thurston got some great photos of him, including this one}

sometimes Cortney and I will just sit at home and talk about how cute Hudson is. this is one of my favorite pictures from our wedding. he looks so sweet in his pin-striped suit, pizza in hand, and in full concentration of what he is doing. he is a mini version of my husband, and that is only one of the many trillion reasons that i love him. that, and when he snuggles with me. ah, hudson. i wish i could be cuddling with you right now. 

erin, is he for sale?

xo.

st. john, vi

I'm not one to post pictures without much of a story behind them, but these speak for themselves.....

honeymoon highlights:

- the scenery

- drinking 3 pina coladas a day (at least)

- the constant sunshine

- tour guide, jimmy (both knowledgeable AND animated about the island)

- every second of every minute with the husband...i am truly the luckiest girl in the world.

happy valentines day

I love you for not only what you are, 

but for what I am when I am with you.
