"Today Was A Fairytale"

Here are some of our engagement pics :)

I'd say it was about 103 degrees at 10:00am while we were shooting, which didn't make things go super smoothly.  It was still an awesome time, and we love our photographer! Strawberry Jude Photography

I have some bummer news for us though, well it's not so bad I guess. Anyways, I wrote a past post about maybe pushing the wedding back, and we have decided to do that. Not sure when the new date is going to be, whatever fits right into our schedule.. maybe winter, spring, or early summer? Not sure yet, but we are so busy right now trying to get our life on track that we are just kidding ourselves thinking that our wedding planning would be finished by October. So we decided on that today. I'm bummed, but it makes since and it's the best thing to do for our family.

Our day will come :)

Hottest Summer EVER

I say that because i'm typing this as i'm sitting on our front porch (the only play we get WiFi). It is 8pm and this heat is absolutely crazy!! I feel like I start sweating the moment I step out the door, gross. Plus it doesn't really help too much that our air conditioner in the house doesn't work perfectly. Anyways, enough about that.. I got a new job the other day. I will be working in the infant room at Kids Central. I'm so excited about this because it is the perfect job for me while i'm going to college, Abby can even come to work with me which is SO great! I can't wait to feed the little babies, rock them, and play with them.. gonna LOVE it! I am going to miss working at Shine Salon though, that was a really fun experience and I will always go there to get my haircut from now on. haha. So yeah, I start my new job in like two weeks, or less, hopefully less. I'm definately gonna take advantage of this freedom and last little bit of Summer! Also my financial aide for school was approved, so it has been a very good week for me.

Took Abs swimming at Gerald's parents today, we were all wrinkly when we got out from staying in so long, but she had fun like always. Tomorrow morning we are going to take our engagement pictures.. that makes me smile big :) I have been wanting to do this for over 2 years now. I love pretty scenic pictures.. & I think we are going to some cool places, including a sunflower field!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend..

Summer Days Ending So Soon :(

                                             

She calls this poodle "Sally Ray"

Guessin that name was my mom's idea haha.. but theres no going back now!

I have to now blow dry and curl her hair almost everyday in order

 for it to all flip under the same way, she loves to have it done though :)

There isn't too much going on right now, just working and trying to savage every last day of summer. It has gone by so fast :( Now on to the stressful time of year - starting school, hopefully gerald will start a great job opportunity soon, plus getting everything done for the wedding. Can't wait for the wedding part though (if we could just get everything planned haha) only THREE months to go, AH makes my mind race and things to do! We truly haven't gotten a thing done, hope we don't have to move our date again, I would be one extremely angry girl -just kidding ;) Truly though, we shouldn't have to post pone it because we are having the smallest wedding ever. Neither one of us want anything big, just simple and sweet. Ceremony (100 or less people), simple flowers, and a small reception with finger foods, cake, beer, and music... not too much right? Thats what I keep telling myself, but nothing seems to be getting accomplished hahaha! We do actually have a venue for the ceremony, bridesmaids dresses picked out, a DJ, & a FREE photgrapher checked off of our list. Yes I said free, I have a friend thats an aspiring photographer and she offered to do our wedding/engagement pictures for free for her portfolio (I guess thats what its for). Anyways, we are so thankful, and plus she takes beautifullll pics! You can check out her blog here. We are going to take our engagement pictures this Sunday, can't wait!!

So thats basically whats going on in our life right now, praying everything falls into place in the next three months :) I'll be posting again soon!

Big-Girl Haircut!

I took Abby to my work today (which i'm loving btw) to get her first real big-girl haircut! She was so excited to go. My cousin Katie came along and we stopped by this boutique next door to my work. They have the cutest kids clothes/accessories and even furniture.. can't think of the name but I could've seriously bought the store out so we didn't stay long. As we were leaving Abby told the employee there "be right back i'm going to get my hair cut".. (she didn't even know her and we weren't coming right back haha). Anyways, she was pretty good while getting her hair done, but she became very shy all of a sudden and didn't speak to any of the people I work with of course.. but thats okay i'm just glad she didn't have a nervous breakdown! Kinda missing the sweet litte baby curls, but i'm hoping to get over that in a few days ;) Although I must say I think her hair is really cute, short, but cute!

Tomorrow's Friday, yayyy, hope everyone has a great weekend!

Rain, Rain Go Away...

Come again another day! Right now we are in the condo getting showers and resting. We were at the pool but it started raining, we tried to tough it out but the rain was SO cold. It has passed now so i'm hoping it stays pretty for the rest of our 4th of July!! So anyways I don't really feel like explaining our past two days so i'll post about it with pictures :) Here you go:

Abby on the beach the 2nd day, I love this one..

Knocked out, so sweet :)

Sitting out on the balcony all dressed up and ready for the night.

One of many from our family photo session..

She wouldn't give us a smile but I think this is cute..

They had a concert for the kids out at the wharf..

Riding the carousel, kinda blurry but the expression on her face is priceless..

This floaty thing is the BEST, worth every penny!

Lets her swim all by herself for the first time without going under..

Well thats all for now, hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

We are here at the beach for ours, Gerald's parents have a condo in Sandestin, Florida and it sure is beautiful down here! There are all kinds of things to do because it's like two seconds away from the baytowne wharf (like a little village) with lots of restaurants, bars, tons of stuff for kids, and cool shops. Abby hasn't been since she was six months old so it's basically her first time to really take it all in and she is loving it. Yesterday we went to the beach and there was no sign of oil, just beautiful water and HUGE waves! Everyone was riding the waves, I even gave it a try..usually I NEVER get in the ocean but I went pretty far out. Not for long though I will say because I am not the best wave rider. The first time I walked out there I got a mouth/nose full of salt water and it was GROSS! It was fun to watch the others do it though...

Here is Gerald and his dad crashing into each other, that happened alot!

Here is Ben, Gerald's bro-in- law, surfing a wave!

Here are some more of our day on the beach:

So thats it for now, hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend and check back for more posts on ours!
