forgetful

should I start by saying happy new year? ha! well. I'm a little late to that party. 

let's not brush the first 3 months under the rug and I'll will once again make the vow to be a better blogger. to be honest? I just haven't made it a priority. and I truly want to make it one. I want to document the moments that are passing...  

what made me get all emotional about blogging?  I sealed the last enveloped to send out our wedding invitations (eep!) and I got a little sad that I forgot to make one for myself to keep and that I didn't take pictures of all my hard work (I am making our wedding invitations and other wedding stationary by hand. yes, paper source looves me). really it just made me think, if anything else I want to be able to look back on these moments and remember the process. 

that was a thick layer of cheese... soo yes, I will once again make the attempt to be a better blogger. 

january passed, february came and we celebrated james' birthday. visitors we're in and out. march was here, I celebrated my birthday and my bachelorette with friends and wine. started a new career and I'm we're still planning our july wedding! 

so as you can read, we've been keeping busy and I am going to make an honest effort to come back this week with some pictures of all the exciting things that have happened and are going on in our lives!

and basically this'll be a pictureless post because I have far too many pictures sitting unorganized on my phone and computer. (which is driving me crazy..) and well I may have already got off track considering this post took me 45 minutes to write. focus ashley focus.
