Thanksgiving - in 'da hood

We had Tday at my twin brother chris'. He converted an old auto body shop/garage into a loft a few years ago....he did an amazing job BUT its the last section of town that is 'da hood for sure! However we always have fun there - watching fireworks and cooking out on his roof - not too mention when we've had a little too much to drink...throw bottles through the windows at the empty building next door! This year was a little lo-key but the weather was FANTASTIC and we played some cornhole!

Before we left though we got some good football tossin in and played with Parker!



Danny also added some more lights to the house....looks like a winter wonderland :)

Christmas Lights up - before Tday - thats how we roll.

So Tuesday we got the xmas bug - we put the tree up, added some decor in the house and danny put some lights up outside yesterday! People think we are crazy BUT if you think about it, Tday is late and it was the 25th...1 month from Christmas.....so we were right on time!

THE ART OF THE OSU-MICHIGAN TAILGATE

1. You don't have tickets but you go down at 8:00a anyways (with long johns and hand warmers)



2. Start drinking when you arrive.


3. Make new friends - who you won't remember b/c you drank too too.




4. Pretend to shoot down the Goodyear blimpe because it is Michigan colors.









5. Pose with Brutus the Buckeye.














6. Try on a Big Ten Championship ring that some random towel boy from the 90's had (while passing out free jello shots).











7. East lots of cooked meat.










8. Go to some bar to watch the game and get warm






9. Go to Blockbuster drunk and pose with teen heartthrob cutouts.























10. Go home and play with the dog then crash.

Nov 21 - the day

Its been 1 year since danny proposed - it went fast. A 10+ month engagement was perfect - as in a perfect amount of time to plan our wedding/party for our friends and family!

1 year since danny poppped the question in AZ at Fiddlesticks...our first date at the batting cages (how perfect)! Colleen and Ryan were in on it and even though i saw them that day - played it cool. After going nuts at fiddlesticks, he took me to the restaurant we ate at after the first date, where friends and family where - what a guy. he got me good! heres some pics from memory lane....

Its Offical - we look cute kissing

We got back the professional wedding pics! they are phenomenal. i wish I could post all 600+ but ya, i wont....and a lot are mushy kissing ones! below are a few I really like but I added the slideshow if you want to see some more.
I promise my next blog WONT be about our wedding :)

Day 21....

So I wanted to start this just so I can comment and talk to some other gals on this. I did have a design blog for a while...but I started that and havent blogged on that for months! maybe it was the wedding planning all summer! We got married on a beautiful (unseasonably warm) day in Columbus - Oct 11th. The ceremony was quick but just our style - even had a piece of "take me out to the ballgame" played during it! The reception was a great party and I know people had a blast...many didnt remember it :)

Our photographers were amazing and took the coolest pics:
