I have decided to start a new project. A project in which I document the first year of my life, as a wife. I will attempt to take a photo everyday for the next year. Most of these will be self portraits, but inevitably I will get tired of photographing myself so there may be a few other subjects thrown in. I will also fully disclose that I will occasionally use Kevin as a voice activated tripod and remote. On occasion he can be a lot easier to set up than my tripod and he carries himself around, which I appreciate.

Having been married just over a week I don’t feel that all that much has changed. That isn’t to say nothing has changed, but they are subtle. It felt really good to declare my love for Kevin in front of our friends and family. And I do feel closer to his family now, but I still love Kevin in the exact same way I did before May 22.  It did occur to me yesterday that Kevin is now my husband and I mean MINE! And I am his wife. And that feels good to say. So here is the first week of  my life as a wife.

For one we got married.

Granted this isn’t a self portrait, but it is what I saw when I woke up the morning after my wedding.

Yes, we can be deer, I mean dorks.

I love this wallpaper, but have been vetoed on getting it for our house.

In Portland there was a Memorial Day monument that had been put up right outside from our hotel.

And there you have it. Week One.

MY WEDDING

I am getting married in two and a half weeks! WOW! I have been a very busy DIY bride, so I thought I would share some of the things I have been working on. Everything in this post I made in some way. Some I made from scratch and others I just added to what already existed. I am pretty proud of myself and know that I am going to have a fabulous wedding. Now I just hope it all fits in the car for the drive from Victoria to California.

I actually made 20 of these little guys, but didn’t feel like hanging them all.

They were also the most labor intensive and started their lives out as wire coat hangers and tissue paper from the Dollar Store.

Obviously  didn’t make the shoes, but I did make all the other stuff, including repainting the little table.

Can you guess how all these will be used?
