Twosies

Some great things in life come in twos
(or that I like 2 of) :

* Shoes
* Socks!
* Scoops of ice cream
* Weeks until I am married
* Pieces of toast
* Earrings
(losing one doesn't work and is a sad day)
* Nostrils that work
* Twix bars
* Weeks until I am married
* Brownies and Ice Cream
* Telephone rings before answering
* Hours of napping
* Heads are better than one
(ok that was a stretch)
* Weeks until I am married!!!

Looked myself over... Check.

I have always thought of myself as a good person.
Friendly
Outgoing
Caring
Funny
Passionate
etc...
I came across this video the other day
and it had me double checking myself.
(as well as bringing me to tears)
I am guilty of what everyone was probably thinking as well.
EVERYONE is beautiful.
EVERYONE has talents.
EVERYONE deserves a chance.
and EVERYONE should watch this.

THANK YOU SUSAN BOYLE.

Goodness. We Are So Good Looking

Ok I'm just kidding with the title post but I really am happy with how our engagements turned out! I am not a fan of the posed, smile all fake-like pictures. At all. I love candid, caught in the moment, or just plain silly pictures. Our photographer was SO great though! He didn't make it awkward at all (although some of the poses were. my neck just doesn't turn that much, ok?). We were joking and laughing the whole time. He knew of a bunch of places here and there downtown so we walked around and took some shots.

I had anxiety over what we were going to wear. I mean, that is a HUGE deal! And, yes I am a girl, but I am not so keen on the whole fashion sense stuff sometimes, so I was kind of freaking out inside. We decided to just show up in something and bring a bunch of stuff to change. Our photographer looked at us and said he LOVED what we were wearing! PERFECT. That made it a lot easier. And I am very glad that we went with what we did.

So. The next step? Pick one for announcements. ONE. I feel the anxiety starting all over again. Ok, not really, but with 200 pictures there is bound to be more than one good one. Here are just a few of them. If you have Facebook you may have seen some of these already but I know you want to see them again. I am posting this for you :) Also, I may or may not be keeping some of the good ones to myself so you can see them in the announcement or at the reception. So that means you have to come! Mwahaha!... Well, you don't HAVE to, but I would love to see you there :)

Here they are!
What do you think?

Oopsie!

Brian and Ann bought a new house recently

(insert cheer here).
Fez has a manly truck
(insert Tim Taylor grunt here).
Truck got stuck in the mud
(insert 'wah wah' here).

Here is how the events played out:

We found as many sticks as we could to help get out. I think I found a twig.

We're such good cheerleaders!

My man hard at work :)

Flying mud!

What a way to meet new neighbors!

It was a fun adventure!

Ugh.

Remember when I said THANK YOU SPRING TIME???
Yeah, that was for real.
But I don't think spring time heard me.
I may have jinxed us all.
Oh. And remember how I'm supposed to get
engagement pictures taken tomorrow...
in the snow?
No no. That will not happen.

Stupid snow.

1, 2, 3, 4

I'm sitting here at work, actually doing work, and I get this urge to listen to this song. So I pull it up on YouTube and all work stops. I love this video! I love this song! It reminds me of my honey and I LOVE HIM!!!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

Who Will Be The Lucky 3?

I responded to one of these a bit ago and realized that part of my response meant that I was supposed to post this too. Oops. So... here it is! The first THREE people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!

2- What I create will be just for you.

3- It'll be done this year.

4- You have no clue what it's going to be.It may be a story. It may be a joke book, autographed picture of myself, handmade bag, or a little invention of my own! I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows?

5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. Believe me... it may blow your mind!

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 3 people who do the same on your blog. The first 3 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!

Sounds like fun, right? So, let's play!
