Sneak Peak

Our photographer posted a few pictures of our wedding on his blog. I am so happy with just the few I have seen so far! He did an amazing job! Here are a few of my favorites...

Annual post Christmas family get-together!

We had our annual post Christmas Marter/Faulkner/Felty get together...or as we like to call it "Carb Fest!" We've upgraded and now have moved the meal to Marcella's. We also celebrated the start of Kelli and Nick's wedding festivities! We kicked off the weekend celebrations with lots of food, drinks, and laughs!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas weekend celebrating with family and friends. This year started new traditions for both Travis and I. This was the first year I did not attend Christmas Eve mass at my aunt's house and celebrated Christmas Eve in Columbus with Travis' family. We had a great time! After dinner we got in the car and drove to Cleveland and surprised my parents with a 1am arrival in Cleveland. Christmas morning we opened gifts, ate breakfast casserole, made the turkey ride video, and my parents hosted their annual Christmas Day party with around 60 guests! Christmas night ended with our traditional loaded questions game with my family, tay-tay, and the D's. These traditions will never get old! Merry Christmas!!

Hi my name is Lauren and I am addicted to Pinterest!

If you haven't been pinning you've been living under a rock. It has consumed my life! I have designed the interior of my future home (wherever that may be),  paint colors, preschool lessons, future children's clothing, recipes, crafts I'm sure I'll never get to in my lifetime, and the list goes on and on! Needless to say it's addicting and you should check it out! Happy Pinning!

The Marter's!

We are officially married and are in wedding bliss! I could not have pictured a more perfect weekend!! The weather, the people, the ceremony, the party...it was all amazing! We are so blessed to have been able to celebrate and be surrounded by all our family and friends!!

The best wedding party ever!

This picture cracks me up! It was bike night in Chagrin and my brother and Kara befriended the bikers and started taking pictures on their bikes. Of course they insisted we jump on for a quick photo shoot. Travis and I made sure to get a picture with the bike owner. Notice the starbucks coffee in one hand and his cigarette in the other...cheers!

Happy 1st Birthday Rudy!!

I can't believe Rudy is a year today!! And it just so happens her birthday is 3 days before our wedding! The end of November will always be a great time to celebrate!

What a year its been! Rudy came into our lives at a crazy time and though some people (who will remain nameless) thought it wasn't the best idea that we got her while we were trying to plan our wedding and sell our house...there was no doubt she was meant to be part of our family! Those sleepless nights and chewed up pillows seem like so long ago...can't say they're too missed! She is our little spoiled pup and her favorite thing to do is hunt bury under the blankets snuggled in between Travis and I...sometimes I think she forgets she's a dog! Happy Birthday Rudy!!

It's the final countdown!

We're less then a week away from the Big Day!! Travis and I enjoyed our "last" date night before the big day (Thanks Natalie!) We spent the day running errands for last minute wedding stuff and enjoyed a nice dinner together! See ya at the Wedding!
