about us

hi. we're james and casey! 
welcome to our little blog. a small composition of w's and dot's, and a lot of love. we're really happy you're here! if we had met through personal ad's, which we totally didn't, they would have sort of read as follows:


him: handsome, beard-wearing, sometimes mohawk-wearing, hilarious, lover of russell crowe movies, used-to-have-white-loafers-and-wore-them-on-sailboats, story teller, stat rememberer, enjoys the symphony, celebrity amongst most children and a true gentleman. former orange countian. 

her: born to be on the beach, green-eyed gal, nineteenth century british lit junkie, enjoys cupcakes, writing, big cities, little farms, baking, museums, analog cameras. prefer to be in water or something like it, former swim teacher and lakers lover.

instead of personal ads, we became friends in between 2006 to 2009 (we met serving as interns at our church—we both love jesus, boo ya!), from whence we became best friends, and decided we couldn't live without eachother. we dated from 2009-2011, part of which was long-distance (we are very glad to be finished with that, hmf!) while i was studying at uc irvine. he proposed during thanksgiving break in 2010, i returned home to santa cruz after my winter graduation and we married in the spring of 2011.


the name!

this place is called the leaflet because of a little definition i came across (i love definitions): "a leaflet is kind of open letter, designed to be handed out to people, either by hand, by post, inserted in local newspapers, left in shops, cafes, libraries...

this is my open letter to you, to me, to james, to friends, to family..my little letter about life. sometimes it's a love letter and sometimes it's not. and sometimes it's a mass of confused chaos (often actually). and sometimes it's about little insignificant things that make my heart beat real fast. but whatever it is, i hope you enjoy your stay. we're really happy you're here :)
