Bridal Shower #2

Tomorrow my ministers wife and daughter as well as a long time family friend are hosting a bridal shower for me. These are the invitations that were sent out..

And this is the outfit I plan on sporting...

This dress is from Ann Taylor Loft and it is so comfortable and it has pockets!

I picked up these shoes at the beginning of the summer from Payless and I can't begin to tell you how much I wear them ( think everyday) and how many compliments I have received on them.

It was be so nice seeing everyone tomorrow. I can't wait!

Truly Beautiful

I was completely moved by this...



And the judges comments brought on more tears...

1 down, 1 to go

One ring purchased, one more to go. Brian picked out his ring yesterday and I went ahead and purchased it! Since he works so much with his hands, we knew that a tungsten ring would be his best bet. We shopped around for awhile as we wanted to make sure we were getting the best deal and we ended up purchasing his ring from Titanium Kay. I had heard great things about the site and after reading reviews after reviews, I felt sure it was a good deal. Titanium Kay offers free shipping, so that was just an added bonus! His ring shipped out the same day I purchased it and is expected to arrive in 4-7 days! We can't wait to see it! I highly recommend checking out Titanium Kay . We plan to also send it back for engraving after we make sure it fits perfectly.


Isn't it a beauty?....

The Processional

Brian sent me an email and all it said was " Can we do this?"...




I love it. I would never have enough guts to do it, but I think it is awesome. How great is that couple?

Couples Shower: Zach & Taylor

As I previously posted here, my mom and I hosted a couples shower for my brother and his fiance this past Saturday. We invited all the neighborhood couples that Zach and I have known our whole lives as well as immediate family. My minister's daughter, Annen, catered the shower and I can't tell you how delicious the food was. Seriously, the girl needs to start her own catering company. It was that good.

Tennessee Trip

We took a week long vacation to Tennessee to visit Brian's parents and it was just what we needed. We had so much fun everyday and managed to get some form of exercise in each day. We canoed down the Duck River, visited the Jack Daniels Distillery, had lunch at Miss Bobo's where the steamed apples are laced with Jack, played golf, laid out at the pool, toured Nashville and went to the Grand Ole Opry, toured Knoxville and visited Brian's old stomping grounds and so much more. Thanks Doris and Jim for your hospitality and letting us crash at your house for week. We had so much fun!! Prepare yourself for lots of pictures....
