i love this picture.

my computer is currently at the doctor's (for some routine maintenance), so i will be brief today. (i'm on levi's ancient, detestable, SLOOOOW computer right now.)

this is a photo from our engagement party a couple-few weeks ago. levi was saying a few words to our friends & family. i love it.



i'm wearing my great great great great grandmother's wedding beads. she wore them when she got married in 1830! my grandma gave them to me on my 16th birthday as a special keepsake. i treasure them. that was the first time i wore them, & it felt really special. i plan on wearing them again at our second engagement party this coming weekend!

keep your fingers crossed that my computer will be healthy again by tomorrow!

  7. love love love the story of the necklace- so special and awesome.
    i wore the pearls my grandpa gave to my grandma on her wedding day- my mom wore them, too. we had them made into a brooch and earrings. found out then that they weren't real pearls, but i never told that to my grandma...
