Hey, Des Moines! Come downtown today (from 9–2) for Market Day’s special September Suitcase Showdown. Be sure to hit up the Farmers Market while you’re at it … we’re right next door. Thirty vendors with everything they can fit into suitcases or whatever they can find. Don’t miss it! See you there.

That means it’s finally time for a recap!
We started off the day before the wedding with a fabulous bridal tea thrown by Steph’s [...]
I’m going to see Everything Must Go with Mark today. I’m really excited.
It’s a Will Ferrell, but more importantly, it’s a Raymond Carver short story adapted into a movie. I’m prepared to be disappointed, but I’m going anyway.
