Spring has sprung!

My, my, what a day. The sun graced us with her golden presence followed by a crazy hailstorm. Luckily I was able to till up part of the garden before the hailstorm and build a bean tepee for my sugar snaps. With any luck, we'll have some more sun tomorrow and get the seeds in.

This is an exciting spring for us. We have an offer in on a sweet little 1950's cottage, we are getting our business, Design Verde (a sustainable design company) off the ground and are starting to plan our wedding, I suppose starting to plan is a bit of an understatement since I've has my dream wedding planned in my head since I was 5. The odd part is, as we get closer to the event, the things that I always thought would matter to me, invitation, a fancy cake, etc. mean less to me than having a meaningful ceremony that is personal and loving and a statement of who we are as people. We work hard in our lives to make the world a better place, and want to have a sustainable wedding that reflects our personal beliefs (while being beautiful, charming and magical) on a tight budget. Over the next year in a half, I'd love to share my experiences planning a green wedding on a budget as well as the joys and trials of buying and fixing up a house.
