happy birthday brindy!!

Catherine's wedding

Jason's sister Catherine's wedding was last month and it was the most amazing wedding I have ever been to!  She had a '40s theme and had collected antique and vintage items from thrift stores and various places.  I couldn't believe all of the incredible things she had found! Her mom made her dress and she looked gorgeous.  It really was the most creative and beautiful wedding I have ever seen.

You can check out some of her pictures on the photographers blog: http://danagrantphotography.com/catie-ben-vintage-arizona-wedding-part-1/
She was also featured on greenweddingshoes http://greenweddingshoes.com/real-wedding-catie-bens-vintage-inspired-backyard-wedding/ which is very cool!

I was excited the photographer got a picture of Jason and I :)

death to the silver bullet

i had to say goodbye to my little silver corolla in january.  i got in 3 accidents in a span of 2 months and i'm happy to say that not one of them was my fault.  i was rear-ended twice and the thing that did my car in was when jason smashed into a lady that abruptly pulled in front of him. i swear my corolla had a target on it.  luckily noone got hurt in any of the accidents... and to make things even better we were able to keep the money from all 3 accidents because we didn't get one fixed before it happened again.  i had my heart set on another corolla because i was really attached to my old one... until i got a 2010 ford fusion rental car. i had that thing for a week (with free satellite radio) and it was very hard to let it go. but it took 6 weeks of jason picking me up from work in his un-aircondioned car to find what we were looking for.  so we drove up to showlow and got this beauty-
                                                           

so its not a '10 but an '07 is still an upgrade from my '04 corolla.  AND its a v6 which i can't help but speed with.  it is so smooth that i can't even tell i'm going that fast.  another thing we were very excited about is that it has a direct feed plug for my ipod so i don't have to use my fuzzy radio cord anymore.  that is something that i was really hoping for because i only listen to my ipod and hardly ever the radio.  its amazingly clear! i am very VERY happy with it!

**per jason's request here is a picture of his first demolition derby

Ties for Hair

Jason and his brother are slightly obsessed with ties

not just any ties but 70's polyester ties

his brother has been buying huge bags of ties at the thrift store

and after picking out the keepers he gives the rest to Jason to sell or do whatever with.

I have been benefitting from this because i get to cut them up

and make whatever i want with the ones i want.

i have been making a lot of flower clips

and decided to make a little etsy shop to see if i could sell any.

here it is... :)
