I'm just a Material Girl...

OUR WEDDING QUILT

Well, I made it to Haines, Alaska! Kathy and I have been hanging out while the men work.
Yesterday, Kathy and I went to the local fabric store, Material Girls, to get some ideas for our wedding quilt. Kathy offered to make us a beautiful quilt for our wedding present. We were just planning on looking around, but after chatting with the very helpful lady working we wound up picking out all the fabric. The orange fabric was our inspiration. Let me know what you think!

A Cannon Beach 4th!

The Countdown is On!!!

Well, here is a picture of Sever hard at work. What a better office view then a cubicle, right Sev? Only 11 more days and I will be there myself, more pictures to come!

Happy 4th everyone!

Summer is Here!

Well, can you believe that it is June 21st?! Wow, time is flying by, thankfully! Sever is still working up in Haines, Alaska. He and Moser seem to be happy working outside all day. I will be heading up to visit them on July 12th, I can't wait. My original plans had to be changed due to a couple of job interviews. Please pray that I have a job come Fall.

News on the wedding front, well you can expect your save the date in the mail soon. We figured that we should send them out sooner rather than later, due to the fact that we are having a "destination" wedding. I am hoping that people realize that our save the dates are actually magnets, don't throw them away!!!

Sunshine Smiles!

Save the Date!

We are getting married on July 31, 2010!

A Little of Everything

Well, Sever and Moser have been gone for a week now. They made it to Ketchikan on Thursday night, after a long road trip through Canada. Moser doesn't appear to be home sick, he loves being outdoors! I on the other hand have been trying to keep busy, it has been really hard for me to be away from Sever and Moser.

Last week I took both of my classes to the Oregon Zoo, oh what fun! On Thursday my morning class went and then on Friday my afternoon class went, yes I went to the zoo two days in a row, jealous? All went well, we could have done without the rain, but that made for a nice adventure! It is so much fun to be at the zoo with little kids, they think everything is so amazing. I am still waiting to hear about my job for next year, the state budget comes out on May 15th, we will know more after Friday we've been told. I am so lucky to have an amazing job and would be so sad if I had to lose it. It has been great to work at the school that I myself went to with the principal that I myself had...everyone gets a kick out of that.

Wedding update...Sever and I worked really hard to find a venue before he left, see previous post for those pictures. We have decided on The Sandtrap in Gearhart, it will be so much fun to have a coastal wedding. I am driving down there this weekend to finalize everything, can't wait. Tentatively save the date: July 24th, 2010!

Let the Planning Begin!

Well, we haven't wasted much time after getting engaged, we are currently knee deep in wedding plans. Sever and I spent all of yesterday and today looking at wedding venues. Here are some pictures of the places we looked at.

McMenamins Edgefield, Troutdale

Abernethy Center, Oregon City

The Loft, Astoria
McMenamins Sandtrap, Gearhart

The Surfsand Resort, Cannon Beach

What a couple of days we've had. Sever leaves on Monday for Alaska. He will be spending the next five months or so up there working. I will visit him in July, until then I must find things to keep me busy.
