We're thrilled to be sharing our wedding with you, but more than our wedding, we're excited to share our LIVES with you. And, if we're being honest, we don't need more stuff in our life, we just want to provide for the simple things: building a home together, having kids, sending them to Jewish day school, Ivy league colleges, and paying their cell phone bills and gym memberships til they are well into their 30's. Please feel free to help make this possible! In all seriousness, any help making our "nest egg" would be much appreciated!

It's a rare thing to get to take 2 weeks away from life in Chicago, and we're looking forward to making each day count on our honeymoon, which we're planning to take in Vancouver, the Canadian Rockies and Oregon. We're planning to to stay for 3 nights in Vancouver on the front end, followed by a 6 day hiking/walking Backroads trip starting and ending in Banff, and closing out with 3 days in Portland and Oregon wine country. Sounds fun, right? If you pitch in here we'll send you pics of everything we did!

We know it's gauche, and "ayin ha'ra," to talk about babies before they're born (and no, Henry's not pregnant... yet) but let's be honest: it's on the horizon, and right now the room that would be a baby room doesn't even have a full set of walls. We'll need to do a little home construction. Thanks for helping construct our home!

It's where we met! And also an organization and community breathing new life into Judaism- pretty exciting stuff! We'd love for you to be part of our story, and Mishkan's success, by donating. (And if supporting a good cause isn't enough, there are 3 OTHER couples who met at Mishkan getting married this year- support Jews meeting and having adorable little inspired, down-to-earth babies!!) If you'd prefer, you can donate on the Mishkan website at www.mishkanchicago.org/support and we'll be notified of your gift.

People keep asking us, how they can help, what they can do and what they can bring. We are so appreciative and so grateful for it all. Turns out what we need the most, more than food, diapers and things is SLEEP. We've found that a night nurse has been a very effective way to do this. It is however an incredible luxury and very expensive. We would so appreciate any financial support to help us with this important, yet temporary night time help.
