2008 can only be described as a year of change. I transitioned from sassy realtor to motivated grad student. I've begun a foray into commercial real estate with some exciting acquisitions work on the horizon. I went from fiancee to wife and while I'm not changing my name legally, I'm happy to be TK.
Outside of myself there's been an overwhelming amount of change, in the economy, politics, you've heard this all before. I understand the changes won't be immediate, but our new president gives me a feeling in my chest that I can't quite describe. I feel secure in the capable hands of a conscientious leader who will lead America to be the best that we can be. I feel patriotism- I've never before felt, and I feel safe.
I am one seriously jealous jelly bean. Would it be ridiculous to schedule a photosession for my bling?

Here are the ones that my wedding photographers took . . . I think they're great but don't show the true clarity/color.
Why do I bring this up? No, it's not because I'm in some crazed 'relive every moment of my weddding' phase, in fact I couldn't hear the music walking down the aisle at all. It's because I recently purchased the new Kanye album and had to give this song a second listen because I could not believe my ears. It's the SAME song you hear in the background.
By far more interesting than the fact that I walked down the aisle to
this song, is the context of both songs. Great Expectations is about a
beautiful, privileged, unfeeling girl/woman. 'Robo-cop' is about a
'spoiled little L.A. girl' who is cold and causes misery. A very
fitting song in juxtaposition. I wonder who chose the song to back up
Kanye in 'Robocop.' Whoever did, I love them.
I know I've been missing in action (inexplicable to even myself), a 2008 wrap up to come soon and then I promise a more prolific 2009.

I've also booked two beachside yoga classes for us that include breakfast. Very excited!
Just about done! I had extra purple cardstock from the invitations so I removed the folder flaps, then we wrote our thank you notes on one side. On the other side, I attached our favorite photos, family pictures for family, bridal party pics for the bridal party, and just Brian and I for the remainder. Loving the results.
We're married! Relief is my most overwhelming emotion. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process but near the end I was just ready to get on with it and begin our lives together. I just began my final wedding project and we leave for our honeymoon in sunny Barcelona in T minus 13 days . . .
Here are a few of my favorite candid memories . . .
Posts on the professional pictures, my final project, and the honeymoon to follow!
I think the entire wedding community has already seen this but I wanted to post just one here . . . Christine Tremoulet is awesome, especially for me being her first boudoir ever! Mostly compliments go to my makeup artist, Jennifer Aronson at Solutions for Hair.
This is probably the most self-centered thing I could have given my future husband but I think he'll love it anyways.
I think my head is apt to explode- Christine posted these on her Flicker account and I have 28 comments to date from wedding photographers on this picture alone and she has apparently posted a few more to equal fanfare.
That's all for now!
Twelve days to go, too much to post, but I did want to add a photo of the parasols I just bought for our outside pics. It is likely to be steamy disgusting hot, so I thought this would be a superadorable way to shield us from the sun.
