Wedded Bliss: Gordito's, a movie and homemade beauty

John and I made the move to Seattle nearly 6 months ago, but we're really still getting to know our neighborhood. Last night we checked out Gordito's in Greenwood! All I'd heard of them is that they make burritos the size of babies. And it's true! When you walk in there's a photographic hall of fame of burritos laid out next to infants in swaddling clothes. I had chicken tacos - amazing. And John had horchata - as pictured to the left. Jesus was our table marker. We all became fast friends :)

Later, after we finally made it home, we settled in to watch The Hangover 2 (streaming online, of course)! While we let it buffer I put together my favorite home made facial mask - made from ingredients you already have in your pantry.

2 T Honey
1 T Ground Cinnamon
1/2 T Nutmeg

Put it on and let is sit for about 30 minutes! The results are exfoliating and pore minimizing. Just be careful, as the honey may start to drip if you layer it on too thick.

And another thing...

All other wedding related business can be done here: Poulsbo's Central Market. Flowers, champagne, cake, other dessert buffet delights. And all taking advantage of an employee discount.

Yay for cheap!

What day is it? How did spring creep up on me like this? I've been pretty lax about wedding plans up until now. But with the 1 year to go mark in just a few days I've been feeling the need to lock in my vendors. I ran across Troy Nesby Photography at the Tacoma Wedding Expo in March. He's a Washington State transplant, originally from Texas, who works as a personal trainer and wedding photographer.

John and I met with him this last Wednesday at a Starbucks near the Super Mall. We got lost on the way...so lost...If you know me at all you are familiar with my anxiety about being late. We managed to get there after a scenic drive through Auburn. I felt bad because we had to rush him through the consultation to get back to Seattle within the hour. But we had a lot of fun chatting about a little of everything. As it turns out this could be a good connection for all parties involved. We walked away feeling really good about asking him to be part of our wedding day.

Check him out, www.troynesbyphoto.com. We're going to do a shoot with him this summer. I'll post the pictures when I have them.

Wedding & reception sites = booked.
