Leave it to Groupon to sell us something we didn't realize we needed until it landed in our email inbox.  Just 5 days after we got engaged, there was a Groupon offer for $70 worth of printing services from Vistaprint for just $17...so we got two of them! Though we plan on creating a lot of our own home/handmade items for both the ceremony and reception, we figured this great bargain might come in handy for return address labels (with our new last name, of course), personalized thank you notes … {Continue reading…}

Celebrating the end of year 1

While Kate was in the midst of finishing up her first year of grad school (yay!), Brett has been REALLY busy with work, and somewhere in between there’s a pup being raised!

We hope you are prepared for the onslaught of cute that follows. You have been warned. Monday afternoon we headed toward Gettysburg, PA (a quick 2 hour road trip) to meet and pick up our new puppy Basil. He is a 10 week old Black & Tan Shiba Inu that we purchased from Rodel Shibas, [...]
