One of our favorite projects leading up to this trip has been creating gnome "reminder" cards. (They're business cards, but we decided to use a cooler name, since we're not really a business!) These little guys have been so much fun to create! They're stamped on the backside with our names and website information. We've come to think of them a bit like trading cards, and hope to pass them out to all our new friends we meet along the way to help stay in touch, as well as leave them in random places to help spread the gnome love!

Right now, it's been difficult to get into the discipline of blogging daily, or at least nearly every day. Between projects we're trying to finish up, packing, and planning this wedding, my days have been happily full. Yup, we're getting married! We got engaged back in December, right before my birthday, after being together for about 3 years. We'll be getting married in September in Pennsylvania, about in the middle of our trip. It's really a nice way to have a loose plan of where we'll be traveling...East Coast pre-wedding, Pennsylvania for the month of September, and West Coast post-wedding. We're really excited about the wedding, and got some fantastic engagement photos done a few weeks ago by a friend here in Florida, Miriam Lorenzi. The shoot was so much fun...it was like playing in the park for a while! Here are some of our favorite shots.
