Friends, Countrymen, and Countrywomen! Please join us for a celebratory bike ride through downtown Fargo and Moorhead. Meet us at the main shelter in Gooseberry Park around 6:30pm to head out for a relaxing pedal around town ending at our reception site (Usher's in Moorhead) for a toast and some fine music!

Casual grill out at Lil Curry's (Joe's mom!) Call for address!
People who are singing, reading, marrying us, and parents can meet each other and get acquainted before 'the big day'!

Anyone up for a bike ride to ease our nerves?

Welcome to Moorhead, Moorhead!

I'm sure I'll catch heck for this. That's what I get for moonlighting as a printmaker and printing invitations at 1 in the morning on a school night! Hopefully it is an endearing mistake! Just for the record: Moorhead is in Minnesota :)

Unfortunately postcards do not have a return address :(
If anyone would like to know our address, it is as follows

Postcards and Announcements

Postcards are en route! If you already have one in your hand know this- it is one of a kind!
I(Sara) screen printed the image and utilized recycled paper. Rather, re-purposed paper (some with background images, some without) were left over papers from old printmaking projects that didn't work out, but I couldn't bear to part with...until now!

Getting Hitched June 20th 2009

Greetings friends and family. Joseph Curry and I have made the decision to share our love and commitment and get hitched! We are planning an event for June 20th, 2009 in Fargo, ND. We are in the beginning stages of planning 'the big day' so far we have established that we will have a casual outdoor wedding, bicycle parade, and pitch-in dinner (sort of potlucky type dining). I will post more as details arise.

In Like a Lion

Thanks to the Moorhead School District, I have received 2 snow days in a row. Conveniently timed as I had spent the weekend recovering from a terrible head cold.

Winter at this point is most certainly loosing it's charm. Just as we were getting reminders that spring inevitably will return, unfortunately it is in no real hurry to get here. Positive signs include: preparation for spring flooding (maybe not so positive), a giant electronic billboard with tulips on it boldly stating that Spring will arrive in 7 days, in my planner I had strategically placed a list of seeds to order in anticipation of some gardening this summer.
