1 year ago!

Yes, one year ago Cent popped the big question! And I said, "Yes!" I can't believe that it's been a whole year since that day and all of the things that have been happening. All the planning, all the traveling, all the preparations. The big day is almost here!!

Happy August!

It's our first photo together! According to the photo stamp this was taken on September 6, 2005. Almost 3 years ago! Who knew?! I'm so happy though and couldn't ask for anyone better. Yay! We'll be seeing each other again in about three weeks when our respective parental units meet!

Engaged!

My favorites from the Engagement Photo session by the awesome Travis Hoehne. Thanks Travis!!

I love this action shot. I look bored. or mad...


Love this one!


My first and last time as a model...


Cent should get hired! Check that smile :)


Fun one!


Oh Mario Kart! I'm the defending champion... for now!


This one makes me laugh.

Stopping some Texas Traffic...


I don't know how I'm going to wait another 365+ days!

Our E-Pics are Coming!

Yay! I just got an email from Travis saying that our engagement photos are ready! They will be in my hands next week! :)

Engagement Pic Preview!

Our nano-second of fame via our AWESOME photographer Travis Hoehne. He met up with us in Dallas and we had some major fun with these!






More to come soon! :)

Engagement Photos, Check!

We had a fantastic time yesterday with our AWESOME photographer, Travis Hoehne, shooting in downtown Dallas and the Speedzone. I can't wait to see the results!

It turned out that Travis was going to be in Texas for a workshop this week. Since Cent lives in Dallas, I figured it would work out nicely if we had our engagement photos taken where he lives, since we're having the wedding in California. Plus, it was unknown and new territory for Travis as he is from California and has had several photo shoots in the Bay Area. It was so fun!

We shot around the Dallas World Aquarium (also where we went for our first anniversary) and took some awesome action shots. ::cue Chariots of Fire music:: Then, we went to have some fun. For a unique twist on engagement photos, we went to Speedzone where there were also have the debut of Mario Kart for the Wii. We were able to borrow the Mario and Luigi hats from the Mario Kart people and Travis shot us while we raced. So fun! Then we played a round of putt putt golf, something we'd been wanting to do since we first started dating. Even though we didn't keep score, I won! I got two holes-in-one! It was probably the best round of mini golf I'd ever played. So many thing just fell into place, it was so great!

I'll definitely post some shots when we get them!

We have a date!

Well Michigan finally made up their minds and picked our date. Oh well. It's just a date and I'd rather have Fr. Jose be our officiant than being dead set on July 11. Cheesy anyway. So July 18 it is.

Actually, it works out a little better because some venues are still open for reservation. It's crazy how quickly people book venues, especially since it's summer. I'm feeling optimistic and that everything will work out once we have a venue chosen. Now it's just a matter of choosing. A couple of choices are out - Sunol Valley is booked up, Summitpointe is too small, Palmdales Estates you have to supply your own drinks.

Here are the contenders:

Castlewood Country Club, Pleasanton

Dublin Ranch Golf Club, Dublin

Wedgewood Banquet Center at Metropolitan Golf Links, Oakland

Palm Pavilion, Pleasanton

Oh the decisions and comparisons. There are some other places too, but these had pics. July 18, here we come!

We need a set of these...

Seems appropriate considering that we met during the Happiest Celebration on Earth at Walt Disney World. Now how do you register for such...

We're Engaged!

I can't even begin to describe the feeling.
