today

Today is the day! It is finally here --- it feels awesome! We are so excited!

Yesterday afternoon we had a rehearsal out at the farm with family and friends and it was beautiful.

Then we ate at the Dock Cafe in Stillwater and it was so wonderful I couldn't believe it. As I sat at our table and looked around to our family and friends I just tried to take it all in - everyone was enjoying the food and drinks and conversation -- people were laughing and everyone was happy.

Today is going to be just the same.

3 days

There is only a Thursday and a Friday and then it is THE SATURDAY!!!

Three days until we tie the knot.

It has been busy busy busy leading up to this week --- I had to work all last weekend, Jake had his bachelor party with his friends on Saturday night, we got our marriage license on Monday - which just happens to be the last possible day to get one for our marriage to actually be legal on Saturday - then that night I went out with my girlfriends for my bachelorette party - dinner, cosmos, Sex and the City - it was the best! We drove to the farm on Tuesday to deliver bottles and jars, finalized the wine and beer, I picked up my dress, Jake picked up his suit, we gocco printed all 215 favors, we finished up with all our must play songs, we edited the ceremony draft and picked two readings, we double checked with the ALL the vendors - the tent, chairs, linens, etc, the caterers, the cake, the jimmy jonny's (don't ask!), the audio equipment people, the farm, the photographer, the officiant, the dog kennel, and the harpist. OH MY GOSH.

If you are out there and you happen to be coming to this fabulous party - please have fun! Tell us you are having fun! And then tell us again! Drink, eat and DANCE - please dance! And stay late. Stay until the smores!

We can't wait to see you!

5 days

I found something Jake had made for me five years ago....I can't help but share it:

I still don't know what it is about you Anne.  

Maybe it's those looks that you give me.

The ones where you just turn around and melt me.

Or maybe it's the way you so easily reach out to the world around you, and it always seems to 

reach 

right 

back.

Whatever it is it just grabs me.

I just know that everything is right in the world when I'm with you.

How do you do this to me Anne?

How do you just make me know?

You kiss me and I can feel all the beauty in the world.

Then we kiss each other, and all I feel....

is you.

Happy Valentines Day Anne. I love you.  2.14.03

In five days I get to marry my best friend!  I am so excited!!!

bachelorettehood

I am currently in bachelorettehood.
So what do I do with all that time?

I have been cleaning, organizing, and preparing the house for....marriage, I guess?
I have been telling people that I am nesting.

There is no stopping me --- house, garage, basement, closets, kitchen, and yard projects have consumed the last month of weekends.

It has been exhilarating!

So now we have two new side fences, a fenced vegetable garden, shelves and tool organizers in the garage, potted plants in the front, basement shelves, organized containers stuffed and labeled (yes, we bought a label maker!!!), organized linen and bedroom closets, and a office paper filing system firmly in place.

I have done this all while planning the wedding ----- and played fetch with Judy everyday!

I am exhausted and ready for vacation. I mean, the wedding...I mean, the marriage.

After this weekend (which i will be working) I have THREE weeks off. I can't remember the last time I had three weeks of vacation. I am so so so very excited.

I might have forgotten to mention that Jake has helped with all these projects...I couldn't have done them all myself!

Also, Jake planned our honeymoon -- and we are going to Martha's Vineyard!!!!! I don't know any other details, other than the destination, so everything else will be a surprise!

glow in the dark

I will forever be able to say I went to Kanye West's Glow in the Dark tour!!!

It was unbelievably over-the-top amazing!

p.s. I loved Rihanna and couldn't stop looking at the big screen - she is hot!

update

Seven to three - in favor of assigned seating. Very interesting.

Thanks everyone - seriously, some very valid points both ways.

do you want to know where your seat is? or not?

lovely

Wow - is that a blue sky I see outside?
Puffy white clouds?
Green leaves swaying in the wind?

Lovely, just lovely!

sark

For years I have read SARK's book.

I also receive monthly eletters from her and she has always inspired me - I took a trip by myself to San Francisco because of her and I can go to dinner at a fancy restaurant by myself because of her.

Jake recently bought me Make Your Creative Dreams Come Real and it is glorious.

In her eletter today she sent this recording and she is just so honest and real and I like her.

Listen here.

craigslist and etc.

Currently I have four items up for sale on Craigslist. Four people have contacted me about two of the items and it might come down to who comes and picks it up first! I love it!

Jake and I have been working really hard on de-cluttering the basement, garage and house - we are nesting before our upcoming marriage!

Also, on a completely random note I am getting a practice wedding hair up-do this morning and will come back to work lookin' fancy and fine!

Just another typical day.

Updated post 2/2/2010:

If you just found this post through a google search for Camrose Hill Flower Farm -- Hi! My name is Anne and my husband Jake and I got married at Camrose in 2008 and it was amazing! When we decided to book Camrose we hadn't even visited yet -- I happened to stumble upon a website that featured a Camrose wedding and I was completely convinced. It was exactly what I had always imagined -- beautiful, unique and just lovely. If it helps to check out my wedding photos -- feel free to go to my Flickr collection.

Also, I am a wedding photographer and would love to talk to you more about all your wedding planning and ideas! Because of my personal experience at Camrose, you can trust me to capture all the unique details and magic Camrose Hill has to offer. My philosophy for wedding photography is photojournalistic, candid, classy and always fun! Visit my website Ingman Photography for more information.
