So sorry for the delay!

My goodness its been a while since the last time I posted something…. Just a few new things to inform you all about..

Engagement Photos:

Andrew and I finally had our engagement photos taken Tues., Aug. 25th.  Let’s first talk about the outfit..  Andrew will tell you I was a wreck the night before, trying on outfit after outfit… I went out the weekend before the shoot and bought two dresses and two shirts.. I was not happy with any of my choices.. I got so worked up I cried myself to sleep the night before the shoot because I was so frustruated..

The day of the shoot I ventured out to the mall, AGAIN, to find the “it” outfit.  After trying on another 15 outfits, and no, I’m not lying.. It was around 15..  I finally found, “It”.     An empire-waist, halter dress in purple..  Very simple, but chic!  I knew exactly what shirt Andrew could wear with it to!

Our photographer Ricky scheduled the engagement shoot around 3:30ish in Beacon.. As you know, Ricky loves the urban meets countryish look so he figured Beacon would be perfect to get the best of both worlds.

We finally arrived in Beacon with Jake and Lincoln in tow and Ricky totally forgot we were bringing the pups!!  Originally we plan to do the shoot with the pups first and then have someone babysit  them while Ricky shoots just Andrew and I..The location we were at wasn’t puppy friendly so thank goodness Andrew’s parents met us there  and were able to take them for the two hours Ricky shot Andrew and I.

The whole shoot took 2.5 hours and even though it was a beautiful day, it was a hot one!  My gosh, i was sweating like a beast!  So embarrassing..  I was so glad I didn’t straighten my hair because it would have curled and did it’s own thing!

Without futher-ado, here are the pictures we like that Ricky posted on his blog.  I will get into the one’s that aren’t soo… flattering..

This is one of our favs.

You’re going to love this one!!

So yes, these were just a few Ricky posted on his blog.. The other ones where Andrew and I looked a bit more serious were not flattering..  Let’s just say it looks like I could seriously kill someone with my “stare”…

Ricky and his assistant took over 700 pictures during the shoot.  Then then sorted through them and created 275 picture gallery for Andrew and I to look through.  We have to chose 10 pictures out of the 275.. THERE ARE SO MANY NICE ONES!!!!!!!!!  We are still in the process of picking the ones we love..

If you want to view the gallery, contact me.. Don’t want everyone in cyberspace to see us..lol…

Our plans with the engagement photos are to use one or more of them for our “save the date” magnet/card.   Def. incorporate them into that scrapbook idea I had in a previous post.. Or I may even create a guest book on Snapfish.com.. A friend of ours did that for their guest book and it was an awesome idea!  We may also use the pictures for our table numbers at the reception.. Not 100% sure yet.. Decisions, decisions….

Popcorn Bar?.

A co-worker of mine went to a wedding this past weekend where there was a candy bar, a popcorn bar, and a Italian Ice bar set up as favors.. I’ve seen the candy bar before which is cute… The Italian Ice bar is funny.. I just think it could get messy, especially in June.. But this popcorn bar.. It is growing on me..  Imagine this..

Again, the idea is growing on me.. I mentioned it to Andrew via text and i got an “LOL”  so, who knows what that means..haha..  Just a little story to share about the love of my life.. He always told me my ring(enagement ring) would be inside a cracker jack box.. and I could have sworn when he was going to propose, he was going to make me open up a box of cracker jacks.. but.. to my surprise- that didn’t happen..Michael Buble’ is way better than cracker jacks!
