Awww thanks for the surprise postage fiance(:

WELL..... I found bridesmaid dresses (: They are so cute! And don't look like bridesmaid dresses so that is super exciting to me. I also am so excited for my wonderful bridesmaids that are going to be in the wedding (Thanks guys!!)
Woo booked a photographer (: And yes it is the wonderful Sarah Hess that I interned with this summer! I am so excited I could just POP. She is so creative and I can not wait for fun picture sessions and wedding day picture day andddd for all of you to get to experience her fun.
Well the planning is coming to a dull roar and there will be a break for a bit to not only enjoy summer, but to work and possibly some traveling home. I have been working hard in the studio and Tristan has been working hard at watching the world cup. I mean hmwk hard at work on hmwk.
Oh I forgot we went to the Rangers game this past friday. Despite the rainfall it was so much fun! It reminds me of when I was a kid and went to Dodger's games. I mean the dodgers were a little more entertaining but a game is a game and we got to watch some baseball! They did not win, which was sad but thats life.
Thats about it, but to tide you over until the next post check out this hilarious video!!!

Wedding prep updates and other ramblings

So this is my first post on the blog here. Jess found her wedding dress and her bridesmaid dresses all within a bout 10 days. That's a huge relief because now she can focus on the fun parts of the wedding planning like decorations etc...

I've been looking at honeymoon destinations and we've got a few picked out that we really like. With a June wedding we definitely hope that the destinations that we pick aren't packed full of tourists.

Jess has been working an internship with a local photographer. She's getting really good at the whole photography thing. I don't understand it too well, but I definitely try to. It's pretty neat to see all the cool things you can do with pictures.

I've only got about a week and a half left of school. I'll be graduating from Baylor on August 14th. I'll be spending a lot of time in San Antonio during July watching the dogs while my parents take a trip to Alaska.

Well that's all from me. Oh one last thing- how 'bout them Yanks!!! USA! I've got World Cup fever and have watched all the games but a couple. I couldn't believe today's late dramatic goal. It sent me into hysteria!

Take care,

Planning, planning, planning planning....

The planning has just begun!! As of today we are going to get married at The Winfield Inn in Kyle, Texas on June 11, 2011!!! How exciting. I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. Every place we liked and called they said they were all booked and I for one was about to pull my hair out. But... then we found the Winfield Inn and it is everything and then some!! It is going to be outdoors so hold on to your pants and be prepared to sweat your socks off. It is shaded though and we are going to find some creative ways to keep you people cool and happy(:

I found my dress already, which was so exciting and unexpected! I got to go look with my mom and sister and there was no crying in the dressing room this time. When my sister got married and tried on wedding dresses I started crying in the dressing room because I was so happy for her and she looked so pretty! But I kept it together and did not start the crying game - I am definitely the crier in the family. I am keeping it a secret from Tristan which is SO hard, but it will be such a fun surprise! Next on the list is bridesmaid dresses which I will get to search for with two of my bridesmaids in a week (:

So what is next you say? Well I am off to find a photographer which is not an easy task since I know what I want and am kind of picky I will admit. But hey that was what I am learning in school and in my awesome internship and I want something INCREDIBLE. It is how we are going to remember our special day. Because lets admit it when we are 85 years old we are not going to remember a whole lot, but what triggers our memories will be the photographs. So come on people start taking pictures so you can remember the special moments in life. It'll be worth it and taking pictures is FUN, who wouldn't want to?

Tristan is on the hunt for a fun honeymoon location! He is having a lot of fun doing that. Dad let us use his timeshare so we are looking for something tropical and relaxing. (Thanks Dad!!) I can not wait to feel the sand in between my toes! I miss the beach I think I could live in a hut on the beach and be a happy camper... ok maybe only for a week then I would need the real world.

That is where we are in the planning stage (: still trying to figure out colors. I think I change my mind daily. But we are so excited for this special day to come and getting to spend it with all of our loved ones! So hang tight for the rest of the year... it is going to be a good one!
