the cat's out of the bag...

i've come to realize that my blog has been a bit neglected.  (haha) like exactly a full calendar year, neglected. it's safe to say its been a really hectic year and blogging wasn't a part of it.  we've had lots of excitement, stress, change and accomplishments for us both, and now we have even bigger things ahead of us...

here's the summary:

we saw the ocean for the first time together.

we set our wedding date of 09/12/15.

we celebrated our 4 year anniversary.

WE BECAME A FIRST TIME AUNT & UNCLE!

i set a company record for a 26 month sales streak.

mark earned his bachelors degree from ohio university. (!)

we endured crazy amounts of work stress.

we saw the ocean for the second time together.
i met my idol Tori Amos.

we were lucky to spend our summer feeding rhinos & giraffes. 

and now...

MARK & I ARE MOVING TO FLORIDA (in 6 months)!

we are ecstatic to have the love and support from our family & friends and are so excited to start a new life in a (tropical) new place.

we're able to finish up all obligations here in the next six months and hope to see as many people and do as many things in ohio as possible before we go.  of course we are nervous, and excited and NERVOUS, and did i mention we are EXCITED!!!  our florida wedding just became a lot less destination for us.  we look forward to this fresh start together!

you can follow us as we share our experience along the way.

peace & love

brittany & mark

love will keep us together

i'm amazed at how much i missed sharing while not posting for a year!  i also see how much i didn't post on my facebook either.  what the heck happened, its like i was abducted for a year LOL.  i wasn't so don't worry.  but i have been slowly catching up and i'm feeling so much better.

we were asked to photograph a wedding last october that really took my breath away.  it was practically my dream wedding!!  i mean WOW.  i loved the dress, the unique bouquet, the color scheme, the time of year, the downtown columbus location and EVERY little detail including the "love birds" theme.  it was like i walked in to my own mind and saw it happen for real.  it was such a lovely day.  it made us actually dream of having a wedding someday. which we hadn't really considered until now...

david & rachel - oct 6, 2012

absolutely stunning!  

at the time mark and i weren't engaged, but a little over a month later we were!  i'd like to think this date sparked a romance in our lives and we knew we couldn't live without each other.  i guess weddings can do that to you!  we are taking our time and haven't set a date as of yet... but i look forward to sharing our engagement story sometime soon!
