ahhhhhhhhhhhh i finally got my wedding ring in yesterday!!!

it was weird not having my engagement ring for a while, but it was worth it. ira helfer of david i. helfer jewlery (clark building in pittsburgh, pa) made both my engagement ring and wedding ring. geoff designed them both and i love them!! both geoff and ira did an amazingly awesome job and i’ll never take my rings off ever ever ever. except maybe in the shower or when i’m gardening or something weird.

so here it is!!! my engagement ring fits inside my wedding bands (there are two…they’re welded together in the back) to make one awesome ring that geoff says makes me look like i “won the super bowl.” :)

thanks, geoff…for the design, the thoughtfulness, the rings, and everything you do every day. :)

and thanks, ira, for being an amazing jeweler who’s able to do anything!

day 86/365

being home with these little critters all day now seems like it would be super awesome, but they’re kind of like having your almost-two-year-old run around the house with a box full of crayons while you’re trying to work. they meow incessantly because they’re excited i’m home, then they jump up on my desk and rub against my monitor, step on my keyboard, and knock over snacks. dolfy dips his paw in my water. then they chase each other around the house for a little while and do it all over again.

i need a cat nanny.
