2013: Doing Stuff…

January 16, 2013

I won’t lie. I love giving the new year time to settle in before writing resolutions, which are really more like goals — or if we’re talking about our house, a frightening to-do list. I feel like it gives me time to be introspective for a hair longer, and also read what other people have [...]

We’re terrible bloggers, but with good reason.

November 24, 2012

So we haven’t blogged in over a week. I blame myself mostly. Life has been so crazy, literally non-stop, yet until a few days ago, none of it was really blog-worthy? I don’t know quite how to explain it. Bloggers, tell me, does this every happen to you? There’s so much going on, but none [...]

Cohick Half-Marathon Recap

November 7, 2012

I am so excited to say I have now completed TWO half-marathons. That means I’m serious about this running stuff right? Hardly, I know, but at least I feel like I’m now outside the “total newb” realm.

DIY: Wedding Rehearsal Bouquet…

June 22, 2012

…or alternatively titled, “putting my BFA to good use.” I resisted calling this a “how-to” because I completely failed to take any process shots and only pulled out my camera at the end as we were packing it for transport. Yesterday, my friend Christina “Chris” came over and we made a rehearsal bouquet for Ashley’s [...]

“Living the Dream”

June 8, 2012

I had a bittersweet happy hour with my coworkers girlfriends after work last night. We had originally planned the occasion to celebrate my fellow designer Ashley’s wedding in a few weeks, and we did, but with my last day being tomorrow and Ashley announcing this week that she is moving to New York, it kind of [...]
