Newlywed Home

Monday, August 18, 2014

Hello, all! I thought it would be fun to show you a few photos from around our home. Joe and I have been married for two months and five days, and we're getting the hang of living together and sharing a home. It's been so fun and crazy sharing all this space and working together to make it our own. 

 Right now, we're all about filling the house with tons of wedding photos (as you'll see) and lovey-dovey things. Obviously neither of us have ever had a whole home to decorate before, so we're learning together what we like and what we think looks good, and we have tons and tons of ideas for things we want to do and change. For example, a friend of ours is building us a coffee table right now and we plan on painting the hutch we got on Craigslist for a super steal, along with other bigger things that probably won't happen for a while. But in the mean time we're really enjoying having this place and making it our home by adding small touches. Our home is always changing, so I'll have to keep up with updating posts!

Here are some bits and pieces of our very first home together:
(I decided to only post close-up details rather than bedrooms and things like that, maybe some day I will without feeling weird ;))

The Key(s) to a Happy Marriage

Wednesday, August 6, 2014

At our wedding, something we had out and hoped everyone would participate in was sharing with us what they thought was the key to a happy marriage. And the results were amazing. Some were silly, some were even just scribbles from little kids, but this is something we are both so happy that we did. Every person there was someone who's opinions we really value, and it was so great being able to go through and read everyone's advice to us; heartfelt, sweet and beautiful advice.

This is one of my favorite little keepsakes from our wedding because all of these people are so important to us, and having this little wooden box full of their words and reminders is something we will treasure forever.

If you haven't gotten married yet and are going to someday, something I recommend to you is to have a place for your friends and family to give you advice, you'll be happy you did. xo.
