All it took was patience, some creativity with Photoshop, $100, and an excellent printing expert from Staples. Our wedding is being held in our hometown, St. Louis. But we love to travel and wanted to show our guests some of our adventures. Our invitations include several photographs-- from our half-marathons in Las Vegas and Virginia Beach, to vacations in Alaska and Mexico, and historic excursions to Mount Vernon and Harpers Ferry.]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2010/02/wedding-invitations-150-with-postage/feed/ 0 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/10/im-engaged/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/10/im-engaged/#comments Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:07:21 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=901 When I met Patrick six years ago, we both had iPaqs.

One of our first conversations lasted more than eight hours. We stayed up all night chatting. Three months into our relationship, I knew he was the one and I was ready to marry him...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/10/im-engaged/feed/ 2 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/tweetup-spider-kellys/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/tweetup-spider-kellys/#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2009 03:55:26 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=596 What an great night! @mikeneumann organized a tweetup at Spider Kelly's in Clarendon-- and I got to meet a lot of tweeple I've been following on Twitter: @newmediajim @tvmediaag and @geosteph (We started following each other during the Elton John/Billy Joel concert at Nats...]]> http://lindseymastis.com/2009/07/tweetup-spider-kellys/feed/ 1 http://lindseymastis.com/2009/04/mamas-no-crab/ http://lindseymastis.com/2009/04/mamas-no-crab/#comments Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:08:36 +0000 Lindsey Mastis http://lindseymastis.com/?p=489 My mommy came to visit me!
