Last weekend I attended my first green festival with my friend Jennifer...Poor John was so bummed he had to work. It was an incredible turnout and a fantastic experience. I was supposed to go last year with Tom and Michelle, but my cat, Buddy suddenly got very ill and had to have his gall bladder removed. Poor, Buddy...he had surgery just in time and is now a happy/healthy cat...Yeah!! Anyhow,

Last weekend John and I had a wonderful visit from Aaron and Alexys. They came over Saturday Afternoon and stayed 'till late Sunday Morning. It's funny how your focus changes when kids are in the picture. On a normal Saturday, John usually works a 1-10 shift and I spend the day catching up on reading or blogging. Last Saturday however, that just wouldn't do. After John left for work, the

Please read this e-mail sent to me by John's mom, Shirley. This is so funny, it inspires me to some day be a teacher.The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term exam. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as

Good Morning everyone! What a lovely Saturday it is. It has been a long time since we have posted anything... sorry Tom! But, things are finally getting back to normal. We are considering changing the URL of our "Keeping in Touch" blog since Lowe is no longer my name. We were thinking Schmidtfamily.blogspot.com, or something like that. Any suggestions?Now, I'd like to say that our wedding

Annie and John would like to have at least one child.That's all of 'em! (as if that weren't enough). As we said before, there just might be a use for this info at the wedding (hint, hint).

The wedding is certainly close now, and we are getting excited! The details are really coming along, and you have all been a lot of help along the way. It has come to our attention, though, that many of you have similar questions about our big day, and we would like to address some of them here:Q. What should I wear to the wedding?A. We think you will be most comfortable in semi-formal garden

Third installment of four:#7. The first place Annie and John went camping was Bothe-Napa Valley State Park.#8. The last place Annie and John went backpacking was along the Lost Coast Trail in Sinkyone Wilderness State Park.#9. Their favorite place to go for Annie's Birthday is Death Valley National Park.

KIT News Release, 8/22/2005. For immediate distribution:John's Bachelor Brew Party will be held Wednesday August 31st, at Brew it Up! in downtown Sacramento. The fun will begin at 6:30. John and Annie thought it would be a great idea to brew and bottle a batch of beer to be shared with all of their guests as wedding favors.

Sorry to do this, but I've added four more shots (003, 036, 142, 157) to our Engagement Photo Set on Flickr for you to consider for our guest signing at the wedding. If you don't like any of them better than your previous pick, then you don't really need to do anything. If you haven't looked at any of them yet, well what are you waiting for?!!

I just got this e-mail from my mother-in-law to be. In the spirit of our engagement, I thought I would post it here for everyone to enjoy. What can I say, mother knows best because this IS my language. In case anyone is wondering, John has just about everything down but the Five Minutes. ;)Oh my gosh!! I just had a revelation.

During the early stages of planning our wedding, John and I set out to create a "Green" wedding. By this, we were going to use all natural fabrics for the wedding attire, use recyled paper, insist on organic food...and the list goes on. It's been tough and we haven't been able to do everything we wanted, so here we wish to pay tribute to the one very worthy fabric that is so elusive we could not

Second installment....three at a time.#4. Annie and John first met in Anthropology class at Cosumnes River College. They were lab partners.#5. John and Annie's very first date was a walk on the nature trail at Cosumnes River Preserve.#6. The first movie Annie and John saw together at the theater was "You've Got Mail."

It has come to our attention that simple, mundane and everyday habits of a couple are the thing most people are interested in. Keep your eye out here for our Trivia posts....who knows, we may do something with this at the wedding.Trivia#1. Annie and John do their own laundry#2. John does most of the grocery shopping and now shops at the new Elk Grove Food Co-Op #3. Neither of us likes to cook

It's been a while since we've posted anything. The truth is that things have slowed down a bit, but they are starting to pick up speed again. I have been working diligently on the invitations. So far, I have all the paper cut to the proper size, and layouts are complete. All I have left to do is print, Assemble, and address the envelopes before I send them out. HOPEFULLY, I will have this

A few nights ago, Annie and I were watching TV late and sort of falling asleep. We both heard an odd noise that definitely came from inside the room. It sounded like it came from behind Annie near an open window. Normally I would have attributed it to the wind, but this night was very calm. We both overreacted a bit by turning on lights, closing windows, and checking door locks; I guess we were

We wanted to let everyone know that things are moving along. We have chosen a minister for the wedding and an MC/DJ for the reception. We are so excited and can hardly wait for the big event. It is going to be a magical moment to have everyone there for us. If you haven't been following along with the details, below is a list of things we have taken care of so far.Wedding Location: Lincoln

John found this really cool website. Everyone should take a minute and enjoy "STORE WARS" Please visit this galaxy far far away and enjoy an adventure with Chew Broccoli, Ham Solo, and C-3 Peanut as they battle the evil Death Melon. You will not regret it! Don't forget to turn on the sound, sit back and enjoy for about 5 minutes.

I recieved the paper and envelopes for the wedding invations a few days ago. I am so pleased. I love the 100% post consumer recylced non-deinked paper and envelopes. The only problem I'm facing now is that I have so many ideas for designs, I'm not sure what to go with. We'll have to wait and see what happens. Chances are that I will be brainstorming for weeks, then before I have time to do

Annie showed me the coolest thing today. Apparently, a pair of peregrine falcons have nested on the 33rd floor of the PG&E headquarters building in San Francisco! The Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group has set up a camera to capture every precious moment live, and PG&E has picked up the bill. I got to see the chicks being fed today!

This is the coolest thing, so I have to share this with everyone. For my birthday, Shirley (John's mom) sent me the neatest earrings. I don't normally wear earrings and Shirley knows this, but righfully, how could she resist these! I wore them to work for the first time yesterday. Everyone loved them!What's so special about a pair of earrings? For one thing, whether I wear it or not, I still

The credit goes to Shantell for taking the picture of us on the postcard at Aaron's birthday party.Another big milestone in wedding planning was also crossed this weekend.

John is persuing a dream. He has started a new Blog that is solely dedicated to Beer! Some of you may be wrinkling your nose wondering what the heck there is to say about beer. I mean there's only Coors and Budweiser, right?? I hope John can change your mind on that. I am not a beer geek like John, but he has taught me a few things.

I wanted to let everyone know about upcoming changes to flickr and this Blog. I had no idea that John would be so interested in this Blog thing, but now we seem to be competing. To make life easier for ourselves and all of you, we have joined forces (as we should). From this time forward, John and I will both be posting family Blogs here.

All measurements are in and the order has been processed. I called up the House of Fashion today and finalized the orders on the Bridesmaids dresses. We still don't have a swatch for the color, but our consutant Melissa assured me that it should be in soon. A sample of the color can be seen at the Organic Weddings website. It's the darker green in the background. The designer calls it

Who'd have thought that there would be such a thing as a jewelry making blog. Kinda strange how I found it, too. I was just surfing around trying to get ideas for how to get my new business going and VOILA...I was led back to blogger with a blog about jewelry making. A Small world it is.

The jury is still out for me on whether I can trust Starbucks as a corporation. But, the more I find out about the huge fortune 500, the harder it is to avoid my once a week Vanilla Latte. As a general rule, I try to keep things local. Mom and Pop are the backbone of our great country.

I remember the first time I ever designed something. I was 7 years old and I wanted to replicate a pencil holder I made in Kindergarten. I started with a tomato juice can. Carefully, I removed the paper label and shined it up. It was beautiful. I loved the way it shined. I thought it would make a nice pencil holder all by itself, so I gave it to my mother. Bless her heart; it was just a

Saturday was quite a day. John worked the usual 1-10pm shift. He left the house around 12:30 kissing me goodbye as I was pounding away at the keyboard. At 10:15 I hear the garage door open. OH MY GOWAhD! I start singing "lets do the time warp again," while I leep out of the chair stepping on cat barf...YUCK! It's dark and no lights are on in the house. Then...I remember I'm supposed to go

Had a great day with Shantell and the Kids. We met at Lions for brunch, then went back to the house to color Easter Eggs. Aaron played "Smoke on the Water" for us with his guitar and Alexys danced for us. Kids are so entertaining. Speaking of entertainment, be sure to visit John for a funny easter rap

Today is my birthday. I feel so loved! I was seranaded several times by my family, showered with gifts, and graced with sunshine. Here I am, I made it to 34. I tell everyone that I'm going to live to be 100, but that's something we can never truely know. I do know, however that I am grateful for every year that finds me still alive.I stopped in the park today for a cup of hot cocoa between

Today is the day we all wear green, get pinched, and drink Green beer. Don't tell John, I think he might have a problem with someone adding junk to his beer. =)Well, I'm not Irish, but I know many of you are, so in celebration of this day, I thought I would go in search of something Irish I could relate to. Can you believe there is such a thing as an Irish Tree Horiscope? When I saw this I

We have selected a bridesmaid dress! Michelle and Gina both responded back approving of the choice. I won't post a picture here. I'd like to increase the element of suspense.

Saturday, Shantell and I went dress shopping. I made an appointment at House of Fashion in downtown Sacramento. It was so easy. I really can't stand shopping...well...prefer online shopping, so I was very pleased at this experience. I already knew what dress I wanted (found it online), but they didn't have it available to try on. I tried on two similar dresses before Laila (the dress

Friday was a beautiful day! So beautiful, John and I decided it was time to harvest the last of the Lemons. This was such a long growing season that our little Meyer Lemon tree produced a record crop of roughly 14 batches (1 batch is about the size of a plastic shopping bag). Everyone got a tast of our lemons this year. The tree got a good pruning and is already sending out blossoms for next

I was browsing around for some ideas on how to design and plant a raised garden (that will have to be another post) when I found this website called eartheasy. Click on the "Live" link and scroll down to "non-toxic home cleaning." It has a list of "recipes" for various cleaning jobs. Just what I was looking for!

The best laugh I've had in at least 6 months. You gotta listen to this voicemail I advise listening to it at least two or three times. The first time I snickered. The second time I laughed out loud...this is pretty amazing...I rarely laugh out loud when I'm alone. But the third time, oh man...tears everywhere. Thanks Dad!

This past Sunday I was pleasantly surprised when John announced that he had the day off(usually he works the weekends). Needless to say, we used this time to drive to Lincoln. We finally had our chance to check out Beermann's and the B&B I mentioned for the wedding ceremony. All turned out really good.The B&B looks nice from the road. We weren't able to go in the yard because we didn't get a

We checked out Anderson Valley brewing company in Boonville, but realized we didn't want our guests to drive for half an hour on a winding road. It is a neat town though. Everyone should check it out. There are some great progressive ideas in Mendocino county. Forget the political perspective of "progressive" and think purely of advanced forward thinking. We headed to Ukiah brewing company
