Okay thank you, thank you, thank you! We have loved reading the comments from everyone. It is amazing how our friends and family have gathered around us to help so much. I haven’t really had to deal with a very close death like this before, and I don’t know any one who has either, so …

We made it.
If there is one thing I’ve learned in my short marriage, it’s that sticking together and just being there for each other is the most important thing. No matter what, when things go bad, go so wrong you just can’t believe it, you have to stick together. That’s what Bj and I have been doing …
For Better…
Or worse. Yesterday Bj and I got the biggest shock of our lives. His mom called me looking for him to tell him that his father passed away. He was only 55 years old. He lived in California and took care of Bj’s grandfather, who found him yesterday. We’re not sure exactly what happened, we …
Wedding – The Church
So do you remember that whole thing about how our original choice church double booked us? Well the church we ended up at was First Presbyterian downtown. This ended up working out beautifully as it was only blocks from our reception space and the pastor was wonderful. We did such minimal decoration because the whole …
Sweet Thanks
Thank you so much for all the sweet comments on my wedding pics! I love reading them. Of course I think my wedding was the best ever, but duh, that’s because it was mine! And I have my ring back, yeah! It’s so awesome, I hope it’s not too pretty for me, because it really …

My first choice for our florist was a Portland shop owned by a graduate of Sprague, where Bj and I went to high school. When Bj called her up she was already booked for the date so we got Emee to search around for us, and eventually settled on Geranium Lake. I brought in a …
Wedding – Getting Ready
Getting ready on my wedding day was so fun. We had the big suite still, the one we were in from the day of the bachlorette on. So my mom, the girls and I spent the morning hanging out with the girls from Event Cosmetics getting all dolled up. They save the bride for last …
Wedding – The Photobooth
Okay so I’ve decided to go through things individually, like dancing, music, ceremony, getting ready, etc. And since I can’t do things chronologically I thought I’d start here, at one of my favorite things. My long dreamed of wedding day photo booth. I thought of this years ago. And then held my breath waiting for …
My Favorite Is…
This is my favorite wedding picture. I just said, "Hey look, it’s the future!" And this was the reaction I got from Brent and Sciarrino. I love the expression, the details, her hair, his face, the way Bj has his hand on my back, my laugh, the flowers, her pashmina (sp?), EVERYTHING. Yes, wedding pictures …
Let’s do the time warp again!
And backing up again to pre-wedding fun, I bring you: the day before. It started off with Sciarrino helping all my friends out of the hotel room. Just about all of them spent the night there after we went out, but by the time I woke up only Sciarrino and Ceara were there. We lounged …
