Engagement Pics

Last weekend David and I took our engagement pics. I can't beleive how well they turned out. It was a long afternoon and evening getting the pictures but it was well worth it in the end. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Sorry it's been awhile...

WOW...where to begin...End of Feb and March...what a busy month it has been.

First things first...I FINALLY have my engagement ring. Most of you know David asked me to marry him one night while laying in bed. He had no ring did not drop down to one knee or anything but he asked the words "Will you marry me?" I of course said yes. We started looking at rings shortly after to make it all the more official. I found a set at Zales that I fell in love with. I left small hints for David that it was the ring I wanted but told him whatever ring he picked would be perfect. When we finally saved up the money to get the ring...Zales had discontinued the ring. I was heartbroken...I really didn't like any other ring...so it truly did turn out to be David's pick. Well something came up and we had to spend the money we had saved for the ring on something else. So I had to wait a little longer. He finally told me he wanted to order my ring...he had the money. I went to looking...couldn't find anything that I just REALLY loved. I decided to check Zales one more time to see if my ring was back.....and guess what IT WAS!!!! I told David right away. He ordered it! It felt like forever before the FedEx box was delivered. We came home for lunch and there it sat on the counter. I told myself not to get worked up about it...that David would give it to me when he was ready. That little terd went and took out the ring and was showing it to my dad...all the while I'm in the kitchen making my lunch HOPING he would walk over and hand it to me....well he didn't. I went and sat on the couch to eat my lunch. As I take a big bite of food he walks towards me...drops down on one knee and pulls the ring out of his pocket. He officially asks me to marry him.

We had the kids out here early March for Spring Break. We enjoyed having them out here. I really miss those 3 kiddo's when they aren't here. They had a really good time. We were able to celebrate Christmas with the kids. They were only here for 3 days but we enjoyed all of the time together. I know they had. My dad took them to the Bob Bullock Museum in Austin. They had a blast. Anyone who visits Austin this is a MUST. They have an IMAX and a 4D theater. I know I always enjoy going.

Wed we took the kids down to San Antonio to see the great Alamo. It was shocking to me how little the knew of the Alamo. I guess since I grew up in Texas and was required to take Texas History I know all to much about the Alamo. They live and go to school in Arizona and have never attended Texas's schools so I guess that is why they didn't understand a lot of it. It was super cold and rainy on Wed so everyone just wanted to get in and out and get back to Austin.

David has been staying busy with his flag football team. They have the first game of the season tonight. Watching these guys from when they first started practicing about 2 months ago till now...they have really grown as a team. I think they will do extremely well in their division.

This past weekend all of my bridesmaid's were in town to get fitted for their dresses. I really enjoyed having them here. It's the first time since we started planning the wedding everyone was together. I can't wait to see what the dresses are going to look like in my colors. I tried on my wedding dress again this time. It fits much better than the last time. Actually they are going to have to take it in a little because the bust is a little too big. Thank goodness my girls shrunk!

Enjoy the pics!
