One of the coolest gifts we got for the wedding was from my parents (as if they didn't get us enough). Early in the summer, they came up to Madison for the annual Art Fair on the Square. We visited many artists, but one in particular caught our eye. His name is Geoffrey Aaron Harris and his pieces were mostly renderings of vintage toys, advertisements, games, etc. The quality of his pieces were amazing and I couldn't stop staring at them. I was attracted to one image in particular though. I chatted with him for a short while, got his business card and decided to think about it.

Fast forward a month later....

I woke up on the day of our wedding, went to the bathroom, and when I returned to my bedroom there was a gift on my bed from my mom and dad...and guess what it was???

Yup, it was the print that I loved! (along with a super nice card that made me cry) It was so thoughtful...and now when I look at it, I will always think of: my parents, our amazing wedding, and of course our awesome Vegas honeymoon.

1 month

We have been married for 1 month today! Yeah, us.

I got an AWESOME present from my friend/bridesmaid, Meghan, this weekend. She did some sneaky work and emailed our photographer, Carrie (of CaseyBower Photography), to get the picture below and framed it for us! How cool is that? Extra cool because I had never seen this picture! Meghan said she just remembered Carrie taking it and thought it was so cute and wanted to frame it for us. Love them both...and it makes me even more anxious to get the rest of our pictures back!

I attended the shortest Brewer Game ever on Saturday. I might not even be exaggerating...I think I heard that it was one of the shortest games in Brewer history...or maybe of the season? I'm not real sure. It was 2 hours and 7 minutes. We were having fun tailgating, so we were a little late getting into the game. Little did we know that Ben Sheets would have lit it up and it would be the 5th inning only 1 hour into the game. Needless to say, we missed most of the game, but it was still a good time.

After the game, we hit up Tosa Fest, where Diz and I reminisced about going there as teenagers. Ahh, the memories. Those days we would hang strictly in the parking lot by Baskin Robbins and wouldn't dare venture onto State Street where all the adults congregated. We were now those adults though...sitting on a picnic bench, with our husband(!) and boyfriend, listening to the band while responsibly having a few beers. Where did 10 years go?!
