don’t mind me…

Sailor Husband has the day off (hurrah!), so I’m taking a bit of a break from blogging today so we can do spend some time together! I also wanted to show you a sneak peek at the 1940s sequined blouse I mentioned last week. It still needs snaps for the side placket closure (somehow I managed to completely run out of snaps in my stash!), but it’s 95% complete. Hopefully more on that in a couple days…
Have a lovely Monday, friends!

out with the old, in with the new
I’m totally nicking this idea from Gertie, and doing a roundup of some photos and memories from 2009. I thought it would be a fun way to wrap up the year and get ready to celebrate the New Year!

a year later…
[ one of my favorite pictures from the wedding. I always smile because we were laughing at the fact that I can't dance and our families had finally dragged me onto the little dance floor. I was more than a little embarrassed! hehe! photo by Kate Headley. ]
One year ago I said “I do” to the man who had won my heart before all our close friends and family. I remember how I had been treating it like any other Saturday, and had kept composed up until right before the ceremony: when my dad and I were standing outside the church sanctuary before I walked down the aisle. When we walked in, I couldn’t believe how sharp Sailor Husband looked in his Navy dress blues (or “Cracker Jacks” as their also known). How cold it was that day! I don’t think it got much above 34° that day as we scurried around with our photographer and tried not to freeze. The shyness I felt when our family convinced us to do just one dance together at the reception–I am an awful dancer with two left feet. hehe!
The admiration for my Sailor Husband I felt that day has not waxed or waned–it’s gotten stronger, as has our love for each other. It’s amazing how much can happen in one year; I look back and sometimes feel like a totally different person. Marriage has not only been sweet, but it’s had it’s harder parts too: the things that build character and force two people to become closer. It’s been an adventure and a wild ride, but I wouldn’t trade him for the world!

au revior!
Yes, it’s true: we’re going to be busy, busy over the Thanksgiving holiday, spending time with our friends and family. Yes, the impending travel is what prompted my recent sewing frenzy! hehe! I decided I just had to have a few, “new” and exciting things to pack. (I’m sure you know how it goes…) I unfortunately won’t be able to answer emails as much as I’d like to (or keep up with my blogroll…), but I have a whole slew of posts already scheduled and ready to go! Things hopefully won’t get too boring around here! hehe!
TTFN, dear friends!

weekend snippets
[ cold snap. the weather called for layers and close toe shoes! ]
Our weekend was lovely–most of all the weather cooperated and turned out to be a delicious peek at proper fall weather! I spent Sunday afternoon roaming about with my camera in hand, taking snapshots of things I saw. I’ve been trying to document day-to-day life in photographs. Other bloggers who are perpetual shutterbugs inspire me to no end, and I would love nothing more than to make picking up the camera throughout the day–even to capture the little moments–a habit.
[ fire alarm. I love things that are bright red! ]
[ Spanish Moss grows in the trees all over. it looks so spooky blowing in the breeze. ]
[ gigantic leaves grow and fall right outside our building. each is about 1' across! ]
[ stump texture. I couldn't resist taking a shot of a tree stump that was covered with a green mold-like plant matter. ]
Speaking of some of blog reading, these are a few that I’ve been reading and enjoying quite a bit lately (in no particular order):
