a love affair - part one

This page, my little corner of the internet, has been a lot of things.

It started out years ago as an upgrade to myspace blogs and facebook notes, paragraphs of musings brought to life across the ocean - in Australian internet cafes, Indonesian travel journals, and various New Zealand hostels - and back home in Winnipeg while laying in a borrowed bed on McMillan Avenue. Only some of these remain, leaving me an awkward glimpse at my former self.

Suddenly it became a mash up of a few quite different things, with posts shorter and more visual in nature than they had been. I was settling into a new home, a new routine of school, and a new lover (who would eventually become my husband). The blog became a tiny glimpse into my experiencing those beginnings.

It's latest purpose has been to act as a pseudo-portfolio, a place to share my arts+crafts and design school projects. However sporadic those posts have been, they depict a small aspect of the progression of my life over the last couple years.

Today this page takes a small time out to become a Wedding Blog.

I share with you the start to a new chapter - one that may end up looking a whole lot like the older ones, except that now it's all going to be happening with the best partner by my side.

a nutshell

I've recently compiled the last two years of my education into a nutshell, and you can visit it by clicking here.

In the coming months, I'm hoping to get in the habit of more regular blog posts- filling this space with some of my work, life and inspiration. However, first on my list of priorities for the summer is to become a wife - the word still sounds funny...but good! :) With school (for me) and work (for him) having been pretty hectic all winter and spring, we have yet to chip away at the majority of our wedding 'to do' list. We've got a lot of shopping, planning and printing to do! Thankfully, we make a good team.

my man, two dorks (us), and how super-cool our future child will be:
