jeremiah and i celebrated three years of marriage yesterday.

today as i knelt in my garden, digging in the soil, i thought of how three years ago i walked right through that very spot to meet my love at the altar. 

as i walked in my wedding dress, barefoot, down that green hill could i ever have imagined myself years later on bent knee, hands covered in dirt, planting a garden in that very place?

it's amazing the paths that life takes. 

today has been a good one.

this morning i was blessed to able to watch my older brother be sworn in as an officer of the court. 

it was a very sweet and proud moment for my entire family.

this afternoon i took in an orphaned bunny. 

right now "beatrix" is hopping around in her little cage.

i know the chances of her (or him) surviving are slim but i'm not giving up. 

today i went out and picked mulberries fresh from our tree in the front yard.

then i threw them into some waffle batter.

they tasted very similar to blueberries once cooked. tomorrow i'm trying them in oatmeal.

i have always thought mulberries looked delicious whenever i saw them hanging black and ripe from the tree.

once i learned that in fact they were edible, it was so satisfying to finally go pick a nice ripe one and eat it!

i highly recommend trying a few if you stumble upon a mulberry bush/tree anytime soon.

i plan on stocking up on mulberries (it's free fruit!)...freezing a few bags, maybe trying to make some jam, and definitely making some more baked goods.

the first radish.

dinner with some dear friends.

enjoyed a very big bonfire thanks to a large mass of bamboo, limbs and leaves we compiled over the past few months.

the second photo displays the amazing (and slightly frightening) glow from the fire.

so enjoyed talking to you, sarah.

be present in atlanta.

i hope to see you soon!

for the wedding this past weekend, i did my first braided crown. 

i followed this tutorial although one day i would love to be able to do this one as well.

it wasn't perfect but i was pretty happy with the end result and plan to wear this hairstyle a lot more (even with all the hairpins and hairspray). 

jeremiah's aunt got hitched this past weekend at the [amazing] wild onion ranch in austin.

it was by far one of the most beautiful weddings i have attended!

the location was spectacular and inspiring...full of eye candy for me!

i was a little overwhelmed at first because i wanted to take pictures of everything.

but i managed to relax and just enjoy a special evening in a beautiful place.
