meet Caye


newest addition to the family, Caye, 12 week old puggle

We fell in love with Caye and got her one week before Christmas. So I packed her up and she flew to CLE with me, where she met my Goddaughter, who calls her “baby Caye”

C + M wedding ideas


I’m engaged! Now what? I origninally thought I wanted a DIY wedding, but later discovered it’s really hard to accomplish when we live in DEN and the wedding is in CLE. Yikes! So I got a wedding planner…I will let you know later how this turns out.

We really wanted an outdoor reception in the fall, like a tent reception, but it turns out having a tent reception is $$$$. So we opted for a restored Church in CLE. I want to showcase CLE and all it has to offer, so this will work (it has to, I already paid the $$).  Now I need to rethink the decor or vision: Ideas???? Wedding is in November!

Something like this…

an idea board...

I love Nicole Riches and her braided hair! Color palette is gorgeous. I just love the natural feel.

typewriter guest book...conor really wants this

one of my favorite wedding websites is Once Wed They have great ideas and lots of DIY projects!

love this ring, Conor and I are designing our own rings! Love coming up with ideas!

A modern backyard wedding in Once Wed is amazing and everything I dream of!

Here is a glimpse of the backyard wedding featured on Once Wed photographed by Ashley Garmon Photograhers:

Wedding planning is both fun and stressful… I cannot wait to see all my (our) ideas on the day of!

Conor and I went to visit big Mike in Naples, FL. Conor got burnt, I got darker.

Conor turns 30 years old!

attended my first St. Louis Cardinal's game!

Visits with my nieces are the best! I miss them everyday!

Meet the parent's weekend with my mom coming to denver to Conor's parents.
