day 22/365

shoe day.

had a kind of crazy day. the website went down around 2pm due to issues from our off-site server in california and, after insisting several times that it wasn’t the fault of our actual website, they finally fixed it around 10pm tonight. :/ so unfortunately i lost a lot of traffic today and all of my website traffic info for the day, etc. the joys of website ownership! apologies for anyone this inconvenienced during the day.

packing for pittsburgh today! we’re driving home tomorrow night so that geoff can attend his fantasy baseball draft on saturday, then driving back on sunday. as my friend remarked, “i like the dedication.” it’s going to be pretty intense…and i plan on watching LOST on the couch with my parents and sister all weekend while they catch up on season 2. i’ll have my laptop and whatnot for business dealings and plan on taking lots of pictures of the 4-5 feet of snow they currently have up there. hopefully we don’t get snowed in, but it’d be a good excuse to watch more LOST.

so while i’m shivering in the 30s, raleigh will be enjoyed 50some degree weather and sun this weekend…so today i basked on the floor of the home office to soak up enough sun to last me 3 days in pittsburgh. :)

day 20/365

geoff’s wedding ring came in the other day and i finally got around to taking a photo of it. :) ira helfer of david i. helfer jewelry in pittsburgh pa (the clark building) has been working with us for some time on our rings. geoff designed my engagement ring and worked with him in secret last summer. since then, ira has been amazing and so helpful towards us. he’s currently in the process of making my wedding band as it has to be a thin band above and below the diamond of my engagement ring. he’s been awesome. when we get a chance to go up and visit him, he’s usually decked out in jewelry-making protective gear and steelers accessories. :)

when we were home during christmas, geoff picked out a beautiful silver and black tungsten ring. ira ordered it, shipped it to us, we shipped it back when it was too big, and ira shipped back a smaller one. :) such in the life of anyone planning a wedding currently – the back and forth with the rings is an intricate ordeal…especially if your ring is coming from out of state! but it’s here now – and it fits! and is just chillin’…waiting for the engraving stuff which will come a little further down the line.

here’s a shot of our rings together taken from under a patterned sheet of desk glass from ikea. ring shots are one of my favorite things to photograph…and i’m resisting turning this into a 365 ring photography blog…but it’s hard. ;)
