A special note to KC, Kinley, and Chance. Thank you for cheering me up today!! I miss you guys so much and can't wait to see you in April! The holiday card is clipped to the fridge with all the other adorable photos of you guys! Have a Merry Christmas and be on the look out for a New Years package from Aunt Jess!! Love you guys all the way from Texas to Florida!!
(counting down the days till I see you guys!)

This is one of my favorite shots from our engagement picture session! Melanie Johnson did our photos and there will be a slide show on her blog : http://www.melaniejohnsonphotography.blogspot.com/ sometime in the near future! Ross and I picked out 20 of our favorites and we only had 5 that we both liked just the same...I think that's so funny how we like completly different pictures but all in all we picked out lovely engagement pictures and I can't wait to order them and put them on the wall!!

Brittany and I at her parent's house for her graduation party! She came into town on Saturday and we went out with her roommates from Baylor to a few fun places in Dallas!

Ross and I with Brittany! Her mom makes the best pies ever and Britt has
mad cooking skills too! We are going to have a Rachel Ray cooking night!

This is from a work vip shopping night. We dressed up and shopped around the store! I am on the Christmas countdown and ready to see my mom as soon as she arrives in Dallas!!
Also, BIG NEWS!! We have the engagement pics on the proofing gallery on the internet and
if you want to see over 200 amazing pics of Ross and I let me know! I love them all and it is very challenging picking my favorites!!

This is a picture of my kitchen table...I like to say that I am an organized person but lately I have thrown everything on the table on left it there. Wedding planning, thank you cards, camera, mail, bills, wedding vendor info and of course the handy computer...there is not much room for me to sit and eat but somehow for now I am able to make it work! The wedding is about 4 months away and I can't believe it! I think it's 17 days until Christmas and then life will be going full speed ahead to the wedding! (Bridesmaid Excitement : Brittany graduates in about a week and I am really excited to get to see her and celebrate her amazing accomplishments with her here in Dallas! Go Britt Baylor Class of 2008! We are so happy for you!)

Claudia and I went to Alfred Angelo's this past week to try on the bridesmaid dress...she loved the color and is already super tan for the wedding! I plan on going to the tanning bed religiously to have a special glow too..

Ok so I have been on etsy.com lately and I have fallen in love with so many items I have an

card and I am considering purchasing it to send out from Ross and I to a few of our friends and family members!

This I found when I entered monogram into the search box and I love everything this seller makes! First of all I am excited about my new married initials and the fact that Ross and I will have a family together some day which brings me to the family oriented decor by My Treehouse Treasures they make wall hangings and magnetic frames that are just adorable and are very reasonable! I am thinking of ordering one for me and one for my mom...I think she would just love it...Mom..if you get one act surprised! These are men's cuff links that I found when I entered super hero..of course Ross doesn't really wear cuff links but if he did oh man I would already have this ready for him to wear!
So..when you have a free minute check out etsy.com there are tons of items custom made and very unique for everyone's enjoyment to explore!
