We’ve had a busy weekend of engagement sessions. We’ll be posting those up soon. I wanted to give you my favorite item this Monday though. Here are some unique and beautiful vases from Rose and Radish. Be sure to check out their website and shop around. They have a lot of beautiful options for wedding gifts and are going to be offering a wedding registry soon.
Enjoy!
I cannot even begin to give enough thanks to all of our friends that rallied around us this past week. Along with all of your thoughtful emails, blog comments and messages there were a few acts of selflessness that completely humbled our hearts.
After a meeting today we opened our door and there was a fun box sitting there! It was a box of flowers which is likely to be one of the easiest ways to get a HUGE smile on my face. I was so excited and touched even before I opened it. They were from our dear friends Brandy and Sticky in Ohio.
Andrew and Rachel rescued us from a horribly long day at the airport yesterday. They stood by and helped us search flights and get us home as we tried to get around tornadoes in the midwest. As they helped us with our travel woes they also picked us up from the airport and made sure we made it home safe and sound last night.
Our friends from church, Gisele and Kerry saved us big time by stepping in to take care of Asia and make sure that she was always taken care of and that the loft was watched over. Here is a pic of her sleeping (as is her usual stance while we are working). Although I am pretty sure this is not how she always looked for Kerry. 🙂
I had to go back to your previous posts before replying. I’m so sorry about your loss but am so glad you have the love of others to lift you. May peace be with you and your loved ones.
Katie,
I just read of your sad news. We are so sorry for your loss. You certainly are modeling your mom’s grace as well in your amazing tribute to him. Take care, Katie & Matt
We are back in Atlanta and had a wonderful time celebrating my grandpa. Thank you to everyone for all of your comments, emails and being there for us in numerous ways.
I cannot tell you what a joy it was to stand by my family and mourn with them. My mother just amazes me in the way she deals with life and death. She handled her father’s death is a raw form with such beauty and grace. My sister and I were talking about how she daily amazes us and we are extremely gifted to have her as our mother. Thank you for setting that example for us.
I am going to post a picture Chris took at dusk on Monday night. I just love the lines and the feel of it. The ending of the story.
Enjoy.
I am humbled and blessed by my precious family. Thank you Katie. I love you. Mother.
I just saw this on your blog and wanted you know that you and Chris and your family are in my prayers. I’m so sorry for your loss but happy for the wonderful life your grandfather had.
I patiently wait for “Katie’s Favorites” every week.
Without a doubt, it’s always unique, fun, and classy. The girls that were in my wedding…yep, they’re all hooked too!
