it’s been a long, long time!

11.22.08 {our day}

Hello darlings! Firstly: thank you for all your sweet emails and comments over the past two months; they really brightened my days! (I still need to catch up on those, I know…) I’m afraid that my previously-planned absence of a month turned out to be quite longer. Oops! The short story is that my computer ended up being very messed up by whatever it “caught”, resulting in 1 1/2 months of trying to fix it. In the end I had to back up all the files that I could and have the entire harddrive wiped and rebuilt. So… needless to say I’m so excited to have my computer back and in working order. Now I’m just having to reinstall everything and reload my files on it!

01.26.09 {yummies!}

Most of all, I’m thrilled to be back and blogging again! So many things have happened since the wedding, and I’ve got so much news! Most of all this forced break has given me some time to scheme over plans for this blog and the direction I want to take it in this year. (Yes, I’ve been doing too much planning!) Hopefully I can share those in the coming weeks with y’all…

While I have loads to write about (I know you’re probably curious about the wedding still! hehe!), today I’m going to leave you with a picture of the new addition to our small family:

We adopted Mr. Freckles a few weeks ago from one of the rescue societies. He’s taken some time to warm up to us, but we’re all finally comfortable with each other. He’s quite a character too–and very spoiled!

Have a fantastic Monday, friends!!!

Welcome back! My blogroll has missed you! I also took the liberty of heading to the photographers website and checking out your photos – it looked like a wonderful wedding and your dress is divine, but my favorite detail had to be the cake topper- so very appropriate!

What a beautiful photo! Normally wedding photos don’t move me so much, but yours is is so lovely and evocative. I love the house you’re walking towards – is that actually your house, or just a pretty background?
And awwww…pretty bunny!

Big congratulations & welcome back. :D
