Twenty Eleven

Hooray!! It's 2011.
You know what that means?? It means I am getting married y'all!

Planning a wedding on a low budget can be, in a word, stressful, but with the big day six months away it is really starting to hit me and there is still a lot to do.

I am looking forward to the BEING MARRIED part the most.

I mean, sure, I want to wear my dress and say our vows and eat and dance and see everyone, but no matter what decorations or flowers or food we have, buy or serve on that day...by the end of it I will be Mrs. Or ( yes I am changing my name) and then we get to be married and live the rest of our lives together!

With that said, here are some amazing engagement pictures we took a while ago. Daniel's best friend Andrew took them and every time I see them I still can't believe how lucky I am and what a talented group of friends we have!

Happy New Year all of you lovely folks who read my blog.

I wish you nothing but the best in this brand spankin' new year.

Holiday 2010 Recap

Hello lovelies!

How was your Christmas?? Mine was awesome.

I thought I would post a few pics from my NEW CAMERA!! Yep, I know you are jealous. But my sweetie got it for me and I have been on a picture taking rampage ever since. You can only take pics with your iPhone for so long :(

Anywho...the best part of the season for me is giving gifts and seeing the reaction on the faces of those I love.

Here are some of those reactions from young to younger!

YOUNG

My sweet Daddy opening his gift from Daniel and I, The West Wing on DVD. The entire series!

He loves Aaron Sorkin and politics and has been asking for this gift for ,oh, maybe five years.

His face says it all.

YOUNGER

Sam wants everything Star Wars and so we gifted accordingly. He got a wall clock with Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker on it and a huge book containing all the information about Star Wars that anyone could ever want to know. Needless to say, he was pleased with this gift!

Here is my super cute Momma showing us her new sweater Uggs. Comfy cozy!

I got Daniel new TOMS, cologne and aftershave and the TRON soundtrack. I think his smile says it all.

My soon to be nieces Lauren with her Toy Story Memory game and Asia with her V-Reader. Lauren also got a bike and they got pillow pets from yours truly. I tried to post a video of their brother but I need to figure out this formatting first! Their sweet Mommy was sick so I did the nice sister-in-law to be thing and didn't take photos. Next time Hosanna!

Me, my noodle Rachel and Li!

How cute is my Mom!

Thanks again to everyone who gave me a gift, hug, kiss, plate of food or sweet treat!

Now, let's finish this year up cause I am itching to start 2011!
