- I got married! I don't have my professional photos back yet, but I am so happy with how everything turned out. As I mentioned in my last post, I had a "DIY-heavy" wedding. I made our flowers for the bouquets and centerpieces and boutonnieres out of paper, and I made our wedding invitations as well. I loved using the Silhouette Portrait machine, and I also used a laminating machine to apply some toner-reactive foil to the invitations. I put together our wedding favors as well, and did a DIY Mercury glass effect to the centerpiece vases. I haven't really touched paper since the wedding has been over but I'm sure I'll come back to it eventually.
- We bought a house, renovated it, and moved in. I love having my own home, and finding things to make it feel comfortable. We used a lot of furniture from our condo, but we bought some new things too, like a kitchen table from structube, and a chaise lounge from Ikea.
- We have a cat. Well more accurately, we are looking after my brother's cat for about a year or so. My brother recently had a baby, and he was concerned that he wasn't able to give her any attention (she's a very social and needy cat) and that she was licking the baby bottles when they weren't looking. So I have her for a little while, and things are good. I actually made a couch cover for my Ikea Tidafors sectional because I was worried she might use my couch as a scratching post (and I have wanted a removable cover for quite some time).

- I think that's all the big, fun life updates for this year. Till 2018!
