engagement photos by my twin sister.

my sister Kylie took some sweet engagement photos for me & Tim.

























it's pretty amazing to have a talented sister.
we got amazing engagement shots for free :D

such a blessing!

oh, and christmas is coming pretty soon.
my starbucks has done our christmas set-up,
and christmas music is starting to come on the playlists.
never too soon, right?

avett brothers, halloween, and new crafts.

my twin & i turned 21 the day before halloween.
what a day it was.
we drove down to louisville to see the avett brothers!
nothing better than that :)







an incredible show with lots of songs from their new album,
and a very sentimental encore song.
then we hit up the town afterward for some dinner and a couple drinks...
at tgif's haha.

then there was halloween.
i was a leopard/kitten and tim was a killer lumberjack.
we went with a couple of our friends and got so much candy!!







such a great halloween!

and, my sister has been making some amazing things!
little baby onesies made from vintage shirts.
so clever and unique.
if you know a baby, get one.


(click the photo for a link to the etsy shop!)

life is good.
i think i'm going down to nashville tomorrow.
due to miscommunications and messed up plans.
but, oh well.
it's worth it to see my honey for 2 more weeks.

save-the-dates!

the next step in wedding projects is...
save-the-dates!

now, i wasn't sure if i wanted to send them out or not,
but we've got friends & family coming from all over...
i think we need to give them as much notice as possible.

and plus, it's an excuse to do another project!

i hand-drew t+c on all of them.
i love them...





i'll post a photo of the actual cards when we send them out.
they should be done by the end of the month!

tim & ky are visiting, so i'll have some help finishing them up.

222 days until may 22nd!
so many 2's!!

you shot my arm full of love.

i love this photo of seth avett.



captured by crackerfarm.

it's so raw and classic and beautiful.

it probably helps because of the subject matter.
i listened to the new avett brothers album this morning at work.
something about them make being up at 4:30 in the morning just wonderful.
i don't think i've ever been so happy to set up the pastry case at the crack of dawn.

they were on letterman and craig ferguson.
i think the ferguson performance was much better.
showed their true selves.



i know when i get older, i'll have their songs to remind me of these days...
the good ones as well as the bad.

if you have a chance to see them live, do it.
you won't regret it...i promise.

(click. it gets better.)

ps. 226 days until my wedding <3

___EDIT.____

i realized that the photo of seth reminds me of a photo of jake.
this is from a couple years ago.

i went to the apple orchard with some friends yesterday.
apparently, the best apples are at the top.
this proves to be difficult when you're not a cheerleader ;)



oh, and i love my best friend genni :)




my boss got married on saturday!
