About Mrs. Frog

Please read this post while playing the following video:

I’m coming out! I want the world to know. Got to let it show.

I may not have the furry, sparkly ensemble that she’s sporting but it is white—I feel like we connect on that level. Sing it Diana.

As I began blogging, I’d been a bit guarded in terms of personal photos, stories, etc. I honestly can’t give you a solid reason why I chose this route but I will say that after support from both Frogger and my bitchin’ bridesmaids, I’ve decided to let it all hang out. Here goes!

Ta Da!

Frogger and I live in Phoenix and met back in 2003. We’re just a couple of young kids. We’ll be celebrating seven years together just a month before the wedding.

Each summer we have taken a trip to a lake house that his family owns in a beautiful area of Washington state called Chelan (pronounced Shell-Ann). Lake Chelan is the third deepest lake in the nation and is glacially fed so it’s crystal clear and really refreshing on a hot summer day! The whole area is home to wineries and orchards – it’s really one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Looking back through our relationship, Frogger and I both agree that Chelan is undoubtedly interwoven into our story of falling in love. We have so many wonderful memories there – I can’t even begin to explain the significance of this place.

When we got engaged, we knew there was only one place that would fit for our wedding – Lake Chelan. We want to share the specialness of this place with those most important to us. Now that I’ve overcome my stage fright, I’m looking forward to really sharing our wedding journey with all of you and hopefully giving you some great inspiration along the way!

Do you know of any secret, special getaway areas that you’ve kept from the masses?

Do you have any places that are part of your love story?

Alcatraz in SF! I grew up in the Bay Area and had never been until one of our first dates three years ago.

You and Frogger are so cute! Mr. L and I met in grad school in New York City so the Village neighborhood is very special to us.

We married at my husband’s family’s lake house as well. We probably spent more free time there throughout our relationship than anywhere else, and we never considered getting married elsewhere. We even wrote why we chose to get married there into our ceremony.

I’m excited for you to get married somewhere that means so much to you both, too!

Love that. The BF and I met while working at a summer camp together (also hence my screen name) but everytime we head to Northern Michigan (where the camp is located) and especially when we go back to visit the camp, I’m reminded of us meeting, the beginning of our relationship and how we fell in love. Totally understand!

The water on your special getaway lake looks so amazingly blue! Can’t wait to see the wedding pictures from there.

Future hubs had a fishing hole back in kansas that was his secret little place but back home, we don’t really have any little hideaways yet. =) Maybe Bethany beach, DE if we ever make it back. That place is just amazing! We were originally going to get married there until we realized our grandparents couldn’t make the trip that far.

I think anything involving the snow hits a love note for us. The first trip we took together solo was to Breckenridge, CO and learned to snowboard together. Then we hit the slopes 2 years later in Nevada when he proposed. So the snowy mountains and snowboarding anywhere is “our” thing!
