Our Engagement Pictures!!!

I cannot believe how fast we got our pictures back.....so quick that I didn't even have a chance to post when we finally got them done! There are almost 900 pictures that we have only started looking through. Here are some of my favorites so far.

Grandma's

Grandma's are amazing! I am blessed to have my Grandma Fern as well as my almost official Grandma's; Grandma Nadine and Grandma Donna! Patrick right now is with his brother and dad in Colorado visiting Grandma Donna! I wish I could be there with them and I would love to see Grandma Donna, it has been such a long time! I remember when Patrick I first were dating, she lived with Patrick parents and I used to go into her room all the time and we would just talk! I am glad Patrick is there with her now. Here is a picture of the group including Patrick's Uncle Brian and Ric as well as his cousin Richard!

Herbs

Well I am trying my hand at growing my own herbs: Rosemary, Oregano, Parsley, and Basil! I also have some mint that my mom gave me as well. So hopefully I will find my green thumb!

Tyra, I know you are a pro at this! If you have any tips for a novice I would love it!

Is it really May?

Over two months ago Patrick and I planned to get our engagement pictures done yesterday! We thought, May for sure would give us some nice weather for our pictures with a backdrop of the great outdoors...but we were so wrong. Yesterdays downpours and roaring winds made the pictures a no go. BUMMER!!!! Our photographer says he rarely cancels a photo shoot even due to rain but the wind was the biggest factor! Patrick probably would have looked like he was standing next to Cousin It with my hair blowing all around my face! We have rescheduled for the 20th so keep your fingers crossed!!!

Everything wedding!

Now that the wedding is drawing nearer, OK so three months still, I feel like any spare moment I have I am thinking wedding! It is just so exciting! Invitations are picked so now it is definitely getting to the homestretch!

Thanks to Tyra and her ETSY store, I found a great woman who is going to all of the inviations, placecards, programs and all other paper details. It is nice to know I am able to support someone's buisness like Tyra!! She is also spending so much time chatting with me to get the ideas ironed out and it is customized with what I really want, something I would not have found ordering through the normal invitation avenues, especially without spending an arm and a leg! If you have never checked out ETSY take a quick browse! Here is Tyra's store, she makes the most wonderful quilts and baby products! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5126216

These are the amazing placecards I found on the ETSY site!!! This has really shapped all of the details! I am so happy with how everything is coming together and I can now start to envision how the whole place is going to look.

Patrick and I are going to sit down today and pick out music for the reception and go over some other details! Also today we need to decide what we are wearing on Tuesday for our engagment pictures! So excited for that too.
