I feel like I am slowly coming back to life. It's been quite crazy even though the stress levels during the planning and wedding were relatively low, I tried to shove a whole lot of action in to a small window of time. My first niece was born o October 19. She is perfect and spoiled and I love her very much. She has already been the center of many creations in our family and I foresee many more to come. The following week I accepted a new job, put in my 2 week notice and then started a new job on November 4...3 weeks before the wedding. Crazy right? We also purchased our first home in November. Luckily, we had been renting so no moving was necessary.
The wedding came and went so incredibly fast. It was a beautiful event overflowing with friends and family. I have to start walking through some of the delicious details, but as a little teaser I thought I would share our favors. My new last name is Root. A while back I had the idea to have "Mr and Mrs Root Beer." It is one of the only ideas that is entirely authentic and not Pinterest or website inspired, so I am pretty proud of it. I purchased cases of IBC root beer from Sam's club (24 bottles for about $10). I designed a new label/tag for the bottles. The bottles do not have a label but they have embossed glass so I couldn't use a sticky label. Instead, I printed the label, cut the shape out on my silhouette, and used foam tape to adhere to the glass without crumpling the tag. Here they are. I love them!
