Wedding colors

Let's talk about color! Our palette for the wedding is pretty simple: Seafoam for the nearby ocean. Pale yellow for the wildflowers like those that grow on the hills in Bodega. Ivory for classic lace. Coming up with wedding colors wasn't hard, but finding bridesmaids dresses, decor and stationary to coincide can be. Thankfully, I've never been too matchy-matchy...and we're being creative. More DIY projects and planning to come in the next few months! We're off to Bodega in the morning, in fact. Excited to see that beautiful sea.

Thanks for checking in! Life has been crazy. Same ol' story. But Tori has plenty of stories, so I'll be back and blogging more regularly again soon. :)

California love

Felt an earthquake today. Around 4 p.m. in downtown Sacramento, our office on the 9th floor of one of the city's oldest buildings started swaying. Yikes! But I'm thankful earthquakes are just about the only thing we have to worry about here in California...no crazy blizzards or hurricanes or tsunamis (only in those awful "the-world-is-ending-in-L.A." movies). It's our land of milk and honey, movie stars and sunshine and yoga fanatics and the freshest produce in the West. It's the only place I know where you can drive to a beach, a snow-capped mountain, a desert and a forest of the tallest trees in the country within a day. It's home. I didn't even have to move away for more than a year to realize that. Here's one of my favorite songs about California. And another classic. There are plenty. :)
