we not me

When I saw this poster on More Ways to Waste Time, I immediately thought of marriage. As I’m learning, in a successful marriage you often need to do what’s best for the relationship (the “we”) rather than what’s best for yourself (the “me”).

last minute madness

It was such a relief not to go into work this morning. J and I had To Do list with a deadline–ASAP! We dropped off our welcome letter, programs and seating cards to the copy place this morning, and I had to go back this afternoon while J was at work to pick [...]

10 days

Just ten days until the wedding!
I’ve added a couple of my favorite wedding blogs to the sidebar. They were hugely inspirational to me during the planning process. And just because the wedding is almost here doesn’t mean I’m going to stop reading them!
