A have a series of extra special Saturdays coming up. It actually all started this past Saturday. I got to go see a special show with my sweetheart. Next Saturday I get to dress in cap, gown and academic hood and receive my Master’s of Art in Education. And then the Saturday after that I get to marry the love of my life. It’s all pretty surreal.
Between finishing up school, preparing to move and planning a wedding, I haven’t had as much time as I would like to go out and take photographs. But, last Saturday I made a point of taking my camera(s) with me to capture some special time spent with Cory.
It was an especially gorgeous day. I mentioned in my last post how I got tickets to see the new Body Vox production as part of a thank you for illustrating a page in their calendar. I have to say this again: if you are in Portland, GO SEE “THE CUTTING ROOM.” Cory and I were both blown away by it.
After the show we walked around the Pearl District admiring the beautiful buildings, blossoming trees, delicious looking cupcakes and jaw droppingly gorgeous wedding gowns. After a quick pitstop at Peet’s for an iced chia, we were able to check off some wedding errands including picking up film, choosing a guestbook, buying gifts for our wedding guests, selecting a new morning cleanser (oh, how I love their shop on 23rd!) and picking up some decorating supplies from one of my favorite paper stores, Paper Source.
We ended the day with dinner at Podnah’s Pit. It’s turning into a regular haunt. We got our usual along with frito pie! It was the best Saturday I’ve had in quite some time…
