Where The Weird Things Are

Recently someone began a sentence to us with: “Hey, you guys like weird things, check this out…”

Now normally one might be offended by a statement like that, but as I digested her words for a moment, I realized, we do tend to lean more towards the unconventional and we certainly try not to take ourselves too seriously.  And although we’ve established a policy in our home to refer to things as “different” as opposed to “weird” there are just sometimes where that description fits best.  

Yesterday I was cruising one of the many blogs I follow and I honed in on a print that was showcased in someone’s home.

Awesome.  It’s just weird or different or whatever you want to call it enough to fit nicely into our decor and hilarious enough to compliment our often off-color sense of humor.   I realize the content is wildly inappropriate in a home with children, so I did some digging around online to determine if there were other, less murderous selections to choose from. 

You can see  the entire collection for yourself over at The Future Perfect and draw your own conclusions.  

After catching a glimpse of the price tag ($160???!!!) we have concluded these prints won’t be finding a spot in our home anyway, but that doesn't make them any less awesome to consider.   

Disappointment aside, we did find another item there to accomplish the same goal on a more "G-rated" level :

Yes, Animal Butt Magnets.  Perfect for children and those with a similar maturity level.  Totally weird. We’ll take ‘em!

We Are Relieved

As many of you know we are kind of obsessed with our wedding photos by We Are The Parsons.  We really agonized over the decision of who to hire and how much to spend, but in the end we were super happy to have made the right call on both. Having met our photogs when our then-5 year old proudly introduced us to them as her boyfriends parents, we chalked it up to fate and decided to go all in.

Still treading water in the decision making pool, we checked out their blog continuously to reassure ourselves that they produced the type of images we wanted.  Each week a new wedding was posted and we allowed ourselves to drool over the possibilities.  We figured we'd go for it and if in the end it was a mistake, at least we'd know where to find them. :)

It's been just over 6 months since our wedding day - (whoa!) - a day that seriously rocked - if we sum it up.  And ever since then we wondered if and when we'd make the cut - appearing alongside other weddings in the digital display case over at www.wearethebloggers.com.

Well my friends, that day has come and we feel validated and kind of like this again:

We're super excited about the shout-out they gave us and all the cool things they had to say.  Kinda blushing right now - not gonna lie.  And so you've seen them somewhere in the neighborhood of one to way-too-many times, but just for fun, you can check them out again HERE.   Leave a comment on their site!  Especially if you were there!

And as it turns out several of our friends said they had yet to see our wedding video, shot on an iPhone by our good friend Nick.  We did post it a while back but it was kind of buried in a long diatribe.  So here it is again or for the first time.

Okay the pics are up and the vid is up - and now we promise to stop talking about both.  For a while....
