I have a PhD in Biochemistry so I guess you could say I am a geek.  What I really love is teaching and I finally have a tenure track position starting in the fall. 

I live in CT but will move to MA in less than a Month. I grew up in MA so as a result, I am a fan of all Boston sports, especially the Patriots. :)

I love to ski, love crafts and love winter.

I am also a 100% natural red head and love being one - even though it means I probably own stock in Coppertone.

My Fiancee and I took photos in June with my very talented co-worker.  He an amateur and does photography as a hobby.  As these photos show, he is amazingly talented!

My fav:

I love our laughter in this one:

Here I was goofing off while waiting and got caught. :P

Here are a few more:

Here is what my ladies will be wearing.  Luckily I chose an empire cut - I just found out one of my girls is preggers.  Hopefully the dress will still work!  I have told my BMs to each choose their own silver shoes.

The designer is Alexia Bridal, design is #2976:

My grandmother and I will make shawls for each of the girls.  One side will be a silver satin the other will be this:

It is a super soft and warm fabric.  Perfect for December!

Our wedding is in December.   It seemed fitting to have a winter wedding as my fiancee proposed in December, we live in New England and love to ski.  Plus I was born during a blizzard so you could say I was BORN to have a winter wedding.  Finally, I L-O-V-E Christmas!  I wanted favors that were unique and I wanted a fun DIY project.  I found patterns for "quilted ornaments" online and I fell in love. 

Here is a picture of our final product:

If it weren't for my grandmother, I don't think we would ever finish them.  We are almost done.  I can't wait to hear what people think at the wedding. I love 'em though!

If you want to make some of these yourself, here is an article I wrote about them!

I wanted to continue with our Winter/Christmas theme for our centerpieces.  I also wanted something a little different and fun.  I came up with these light Christmas Box centerpieces based on one my Stepmother has.  I like how they look like little presents and are lit up with Christmas lights. 

I only made one for a prototype and we just got in all the boxes to make the rest.  I can't wait to make them.  I love the DIY stuff!!!

Here are a couple of pictures:

I posted an article on how to make these as well - you can find that one here.

I can't wait to see a bunch of them made.  I hope they light up the tables!
