they’re off!

I’m on my way to the post office to FINALLY mail out our wedding invitations.  after a serious UPS fail which involved our pretty hand-written envelopes ending up in Texas, they are stamped and ready to go.  now the real fun begins.  and there’s no turning back now!  I’ll post photos of what’s inside closer to the wedding.

    what is up with the post these days? no one is reliable! UPS failed you, USPS failed us with the birth announcements… and i don’t think i’ve shipped FedEx since i saw Cast Away. where to turn?!

    Congrats on mailing out your invitations! I’m sure that’s a big check mark off your list. I’m not quite at that stage with my wedding, but the thought of it is already looming in my mind. :)
