I've added a couple of new pages to the wedding site: an Official Invitation page along with an RSVP form. Please check out leslieandbretcrosstheirts to check it out. 

Our official invitation. Feel free to print this out, copy it, tell whomever. 

And here's the RSVP survey:

We got some new Fiestaware for our wedding shower at school!

Orange plates and bowls, deep blue and orange bowls, and a beautiful blue pitcher.


Here's a picture of our first meal with them. Pasta with cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. Thanks everyone!

The Diamondbacks improved to 3-0 today. I recorded my first strikeout of the year, then my second...at the plate, unfortunately. However, I had an RBI single later, and saved a run with a diving catch at short. Which is all well and good, until you have to dust yourself off.

Miss Bee can't understand why I picked such a dirt-filled game - she thinks I would have liked swimming, since it's just one big bath!

The Salsa Challenge is an annual event in Tempe, at the Beach Park by the lake. This was my first challenge.

This was one of my favorite salsas. Heavily imbued with avocado chunks...

 

Lots of people at the challenge - also a protest at A Mountain when we were leaving. The literature for the event stated that over 20,000 people were going to attend. I don't know about all that, but there was a good crowd. 

 

 

 

I bet we had over 50 salsas - some were quite hot for me to handle, but it was really fun. Also, the temperature was below 90 which was nice. It hit 100 last week...

I finally got some Tom's Shoes last night - I'm very excited about them. For each pair you buy, one pair is given away. Check out their Our Movement page.

Unfortunately I can't find a picture online that shows them. This is a generic picture of Tom's. They're not in the Toms online store, and the fabric is made by Livity Eco-Textiles, which I can't find that much information about online.

The upshot is that the shoes are made of 61% hemp (benefits: one of the strongest natural fibers, grown with no pesticides, naturally anti-microbial) and 39% recycled plastic bottles. Pretty cool!

Also, I'm strongly considering the tan-and-white rope-sole Tom's for the wedding to match the Indigo linen suit I got at J. Crew.
