Things of Note:

Hey there! Long time no write. I’m typing to you now as a married woman! The crazy hecticness of the wedding and honeymoon are past, and I’m finally getting back into the normal routine of things again. The wedding was amazing! All the planning paid off, as it was beautiful and went (mostly) swimmingly. I get a big smile every time I think about our ceremony and vows. Now I just have to wait, quite impatiently, for a few weeks to get the photos back from the photographers.

I do, however, have honeymoon pictures! A LOT of them. I’m going to try to narrow it down and split them into a few posts to share with you guys.

This week, however, is dedicated to more of the legal name change craziness, and launching my new design biz. Stay tuned!

What have you guys been up to while I was gone? What’d I miss?
