Family Reunion 2008

Jason and I just got back from Myrtle Beach and the Brannon family reunion. Jason faired very well around all the Brannons and never once flinched! Good for him! Maybe he is a keeper.

A Day Too Soon by Sia

Lyrics:
Pick me up in your arms
Carry me away from harm
You’re never gonna put me down
I know you’re just one good man
You’ll tire before we see land
You’re never gonna put me down

Oh I’ve been running all my life
I ran away, I ran away from good
Yeah I’ve been waiting all my life
You’re not a day you’re not day too soon

Honey I will stitch you
Darling I will fit you in my heart
Honey I will meet you
Darling I will keep you in my heart

You’ll risk all this for just a kiss
I promise I will not resist
Promise you wont hold me down
And when we reach a good place
Let’s be sure to leave no trace
Promise they wont track us down

Now I’ve been running all my life
I ran away, I ran away from good
Yeah, I’ve been waiting all my life
You’re not a day, you’re not a day too soon

Honey I will stitch you
Darling i will fit you in my heart
Honey I will meet you
Darling I will keep you in my heart

I’ve been running all my life
I ran away, I ran away from good
Yeah I’ve been waiting all my life
You’re not a day, you’re not a day too soon

Oh honey I will stitch you
Darling I will fit you in my heart
Honey I will meet you
Darling I will keep you in my heart

So Pretty, I Could Eat Them

Our wedding is the weekend before Thanksgiving. I think using cabbages, artichokes, lemons and grapes in the flower arrangements would be very fitting!

Northern Sky by Nick Drake

This is from Jason's favorite movie.....



Lyrics:
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.

Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.

I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.

Martha Approves!

So, I was thumbing through the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings and I come to a article about rings. I scan the page and I see it..MY RING.

I Love Typography

So pretty!

I have been given one of the best gifts that a bride could be given...that is, if you love graphics and paper and ink and pretty fonts and ornate clipart. My lovely grandparents have given me carte blanche to design and produce our invitations. Anything I want, they can do. Oh, I am in heaven!

Helvetica ~ Maybe??

Is this what I have to look foward to?

Should there be an intervention scheduled now? Maybe December 2008?

I let myself fall by Rosie Thomas

I love this song



Lyrics:
I let myself fall
I let myself fall
I let myself fall
In love with you

There's no turning back
There's no turning back
There's no turning back
Since I let myself fall in love with you

Now I picture things
Now I picture things
Wedding gowns and wedding rings
Since I let myself fall in love with you

Ya gonna come?

My grandparents own a printing company and since I am their oldest grandchild (and favorite) we have been given the wonderful gift of wedding invitations. I was discussing the design and wording with my grand daddy this weekend and he told me just what he wanted on the invites. Tell me what you think?

Grand Daddy is from the old school straight shooters. I may have to tweak this a little.

This is part of my family from my 30th birthday party this past July.
