Three Things Thursday

1. We've started wedding planning! It's exciting and overwhelming and man there is a lot to do. But in the meantime, we got our first wedding gift! Aren't these mugs from GiftsForYouNow darling? It's a local company that does the personalization on-site. Feeling fancy today!

2. It's graduation season and I'm loving all the advice columns that come out this time of year. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I finished my undergraduate education and tried out this whole real-world thing. This article about excelling as a junior enlisted officer was a great read. I'm joining a military family and find this stuff fascinating, but also, this is just solid advice.

3. Oh how my garden grows! My front-porch plants are looking awesome thanks to all the rain we've gotten. And I just got an e-mail that my tomato plants have shipped, so I have visions of lush outdoor spaces and bushels of tomatoes dancing through my brain. Any tips on how to grow the best tomatoes?
