On January 30, 2008, Skip (aka Derek) took Erin and her dad out for an evening in NYC. He asked popped the question (in front of her dad! gutsy, right?!).
She said yes.
And there was much celebrating.
Cut to October 24, 2008.
8 months and 24 days have past since that exciting night.
There have been countless hours spent planning and budgeting and deciding and waiting.
It’s finally time for the rehearsal . . . !
and rehearsal dinner!!
And presents!
I think she likes it.
Blue Diamonds = Something Blue!!
He likes his watch, too.
Aww!!
We continued celebrating well into the night with an after-party / Velvet Elvis Reunion (next post).

Oct. 4th we drove over to Carinwood in PA for Kristie & Dan’s wedding. I brought Mr. Bill’s camera along and snagged a couple shots. It was a gorgeous wedding! Check it out. We love you guys!
Their signature drink was a very yummy pomegranate martini.
And my favorite picture of the day (click to enlarge) – CAKE. SMASH!!!

Cape May: A Photographic Journey
Posted by carrie @ brick city love under FUN!, life in general, pictures/video[10] Comments
Finally! A weekend down the shore.
We went down late Thursday night through Sunday and stayed at one of our favorite places.
They include breakfast and dinner. It’s amazing. The biscuits are transcendent.
It’s old school and authentic. No air conditioning, phones in the room, or cable.
Tall ceilings, shutter doors and ceiling fans keep the cool ocean breeze circulating.
We always stay in the same room on the 3rd floor, room 72. This year though we had two other ones for the parents, room 71 & 95 (kids got 72).
While down the shore, we always do the same things.
Walk around.
See the sights we’ve seen a million different times.
Go to the beach.
Shop.
Visit our favorite stores.
Dad ‘L’, Mike, Rob, Dad ‘A’, Mom ‘A’, Allison, Diggie, Mom ‘L’
(This is the only group shot I took of everyone. Oops!)
Swain’s is more than just stain & paint. Their housewares section is amazing! But I was pretty fascinated by the fake food scattered everywhere.
The moms & I had way to much fun in the antique / tea shop.
The deer head did not come home with us.
The Dad’s held these chairs down while the girls exercised the plastic.
A significant amount of time was spent sitting on the porch.
The Chalfonte has the best porch. ever.
All the awnings are from Friants in Mt. Holly, NJ.
Rob read.
Dad organized bills.
Diggie found an open node.
I took pictures.
The Chalfonte also has the biggest urinal ever.
Showed the A’s the cupola. (see very 1st pic. the little room at the top)
Saturday night,
we went on a ghost tour.
This is not something we usually do.
It was very cool.
Rob wasn’t a fan of the people with the McCain buttons.
Afterward, Mike was hungry for pizza.
We watched a little of the Olympics while waiting for our pie.
Before racing back to the hotel, to catch Michael Phelps win his 8th gold medal.
After breakfast on Sunday…
we stopped at Fralingers and Mom got ridiculous amounts of taffy.
The End.
ps – Thank you to Mr. Bill for letting me borrow your super-sweet camera!

Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us Saturday!! We hope you had as much fun as we did!
If you took pictures, we’d love to see them. Our photog – University of the Arts photography student, Kat – got some great ones. But we know she couldn’t be everywhere all the time. If you’ve got pictures, email us (robandcarrie@gmail.com), mail us a CD, or upload them to Flickr (and shoot us the link) so we can download them. Or come over with your memory card and upload them straight to our computer. Thanks guys!!!
And one teaser from Kat -

new house obsession
Posted by carrie @ brick city love under FUN!, go green, life in general, pictures/videoLeave a Comment
My quest for housing options outside the realm of normal suburbia has led me to many places. I look at old factories and industrial buildings the way most women drool over Manolo Blahniks. reZONED is one of my favorite shows and think the most creative application of a product isn’t what the creators intended. I LOVE my dining area wallpapered in acrylic gas station numbers and chandelier made out of Christmas lights.
Today, while reading Apartment Therapy, I came across what might be the coolest idea yet – container houses. While I’m usually anti-ticky-tacky, I LOVE this idea! Check out some of the concept houses here (also watch the cool video).
Check out Adam Kalkin‘s 12 Container House:
The 12 Container House may be a little out of our price point but isn’t is fantastic?! I LOVE the gigantic high ceilings. And orange is even one of the standard colors. 
More realistically, we’re (hypothetically) looking at something like the Quik House. The Quik House is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2,000 sqft prefab house made out of shipping containers. You can check out the PDF booklet here (MUCH easier to read than the website with the awful red background). They also have 3,000 and 5,000 sqft options as well.
Now we just need help finding an affordable piece of land….

TTD: Kamila Harris Style
Posted by carrie @ brick city love under FUN!, pictures/video, wedding[3] Comments
While I didn’t get to work much with Kamila 1-on-1 this time, I’ve worked with her once before, on a little present for Rob 
. It was SO great to see and work with her again. I totally love her style and personality. She’s incredibly approachable and normal; not pretentious or full of herself at all. Just the type of person you want to hang out with.
Also, she’ll do anything to get the shot - including hopping into a freezing cold fountain (see below). There were times I didn’t know she was even there but the pictures prove otherwise.

Without further adieu, here are some pics from Kamila Harris:
She’s freaking awesome. It’s a fact.
(PS – This is my 100th post!!

I <3 Cindy Patrick

I also got to work with Cindy Patick last Sunday!! OMG she was so fun! She had such fun ideas and didn’t mind me being wacky. She even welcomed my penchant for climbing on stuff! We played off each other so well. Her sister assisted and also had some really great ideas. She natural eye for what was working or what wasn’t. I stole borrowed these from Cindy’s blog but she’s got a lot more great stuff over there. If you’re looking for a photographer, definitely check her out!!
Aren’t these FABULOUS?! Cindy Patrick is awesome! Check out her website or blog. Lots of love to her!
