Mrs.

First post as a married lady! Still getting used to the name change--for now I will answer to any variation of my names. Long pause when I left a voice message for our office IT guy today: Um, this is Emily Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Um.....
I don't really know how to begin to express my gratitude, but I must make an attempt to tell everyone how thankful A and I are. We were absolutely OVERWHELMED with all of the love and support during the week of the wedding. We really couldn't have pulled it together without the help of so many friends and family (most of all, mom, of course). The ceremony and reception were beautiful. Flowers by mom = awesome. And thanks to my lovely wedding party for braving the cold for our photoshoot and for helping me keep it together during the emotional parts :)
I've said it before and I'll say it again--our wedding photographer, Kristen Overbay, is amazing! Love her style and so fun/easy to work with. The website is overbayphotography.net, and you can view two wedding sneak peeks and the bridal sessions on the blog now. Uh-mazing. Unbeknownst to Kristen, I have a long history of obsession with collages. Picture a 10 year old me, on my bedroom floor with old copies of Vogue magazine, diligently cutting and pasting away. So, you can imagine my delight with this lovely sneak peek collage that she put together for us, while we wait. A's response--"That is our wedding??? Cool."
Will try to update the blog with wedding/honeymoon recaps (and photos, when available) over the next few weeks. Then, I believe it's time for a blog makeover. Blog 2.0. Given that my friends and family have incredibly awesome taste, I am going to post some photos of our new home and suggest options for home renovations (comments/suggestions welcome!). A and I have purchased a 1965 brick home--3 bedrooms, 2 baths. Given the somewhat questionable taste of the previous owners (um, floor to ceiling mirrors in the living room, really???), we have a lot of work ahead of us. And who doesn't love a good before and after?
