Our final file for the magazine just uploaded to the printer about 15 minutes ago! Today was… hmmm… imagine you ran a marathon while having to do your taxes and calm a crying baby at the same time. Sort of like that. Huge thanks to Liene Stevens and Melissa Lamkin for swooping in during our final hours to lend us their eyes for proofreading. We could not have finished this without them! And another HUGE thank you to all of our friends here and on Twitter and Facebook who have rallied around us and encouraged us along the way to make this happen. When times got tough, we knew we had you behind us! More than ever before, we can’t wait to celebrate with you at our premiere party in January. Who’s coming? We have some huge hugs to give out!
I wish I had time to go celebrate tonight, but we are off to Florida in the morning to see clients and get our press proof. Laura E will be here keeping things rolling while Rach, Kirstin and I are gone till next week. We won’t be around our computers much except for magazine corrections, so thanks in advance for your patience in our response time over the next 6 days.
Remember the post about our favorite things?
Well, they arrived in the mail yesterday with an incredibly sweet “congrats on the magazine” card from Liene. See pic from my Twitter account HERE. With the madness of today, all the Dots are gone, the peppermint patties half-devoured, chocolate covered raisins scattered on rach’s desk and we almost cracked into the mac n cheese today, but we barely had time to breathe. Thanks for everything, Liene! If you aren’t following her on Twitter, you have some catching up to do. Her series this week on {Peacemaking} is brilliant. Be sure to check it out.
If you want to follow us (Laura E, Kirstin, Rachel, and I) for the next few days as we journey to Florida to get this magazine shelf-ready, meet with 7 of our brides on Friday (yes, SEVEN!) and celebrate two years of putting this magazine together, sign up for Twitter and join the fun!
Thanks again to all of our readers, brides, wedding pro friends and supporters for making this issue come to life. We are so grateful!
Off to pack…
Night ya’ll!
Congratulations on the completion of the magazine!! Otsukaresamadeshita. It’s Japanese & something you say to someone after a job well done or long day of work. http://tinyurl.com/5q6d23 I’ve enjoyed your "southern speak" the past couple of weeks. :)
Thanks, Loren! I love that! Now if only I could pronounce it. You should hear me try to sound this out right now! haha
Congrats on launching your magazine. What a very exciting and busy time for you. I wish you much success and I’m looking forward to reading your first issue.
Congratulations again! It’s going to be so exciting when you actually see it in print!
Congrats ladies! I cannot wait to get my hands on it! I wish I lived close by so that I could attend the party. I will have to live vicariously through the photos. Way to go!
