Engagement Pictures!

We finally got the chance to take engagement pictures! I was so excited and I know Billy was too. We went to the Houston Arboretum which is a part of Memorial Park near the Galleria. Fred, our photographer, was also one of Billy's teamates at UH and was great to work with. Here are a few of the good shots.











These pictures get me so excited! Now it is like, YES, we are engaged, let's get the planning started!

Shower Time

Craig and Michelle had their first shower this past weekend and it was awesome. It was a beautiful night so we had drinks out on the patio before heading inside for a delicious dinner. We then proceeded to head into the living room to watch them open presents. Here is a picture of them getting ready.



They got so many wonderful presents and Billy got to what showers were all about. Now he can't wait to have a couples shower next year!

Here is a shot of the siblings!



It was a wonderful evening and I know they enjoyed it very much.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

Change Drive

Okay so we are down to the 1 year mark. One year from today, I will be getting married. I am so super excited and definitely can't wait. I was trying to think of ways to save money so we can go on a good honeymoon without breaking the bank (since Billy is still in school and has little income). I decided I am going to collect change. Whenever I use cash, if there is change, I will put it in a bucket. I will also be on the lookout for change on the ground. All that change can definitely add up I think in a year, so that is my goal. If you have some change lying around that you would like to throw in, feel free (lol).

I am still working on my blog header, so be patient with it!

Editing

So if you can't tell, I am updating my blog. I have hit a few kinks, but everything will work out soon. So glad to have our picture in the header!

Better Update

It's been awhile so I decided I better update.

Lately I have been working a lot and coaching and doing Young Life and . . . you get the picture. Not much has been happening on the wedding front. Although Billy finally asked George to be his Best Man, and of course he said yes! We are still trying to find a time to take engagement pictures so hopefully we will do that soon. The guy that is doing our pictures told Billy the other day that he wants to do our wedding too for a really good price. He is just starting out and needs a portfolio and all that jazz so that would be amazing if we could save some money in that area.

We still can't decide exactly where to go on our honeymoon, so I am now leaving that up to Billy. I trust he will make a great decision. It is his spring break next week so we may be able to get a few more things done then.

Craig and Michelle have their first wedding shower this weekend. I am so excited! It is a couple's shower so Billy gets to go to! They are getting married in a few months and I have noticed how fast their engagement went by, so I know I need to stay on the ball with my wedding.

Bryan and Betsy have their home study this week! I know they will pass with flying colors and before they know it they will have a beautiful child from Kyrgystan! You can check out their blog at 7313miles.blogspot.com

So I guess that is what is happening around here lately. I will try to get back into updating more often and will definitely post after the shower this weekend!
