To do List...

I have to say, the To Do list is looking pretty good right now, which is crucial, considering ummm...a little holiday involving Santa is right around the corner. Right now we are working on:

1. Booking the honeymoon- we have narrowed it down to Hawaii or Portugal
2. J still needs to book the cake lady or not, I don't eat cake so this is his deal.
3. J needs to pick out tux, order it, get measured and let the guys know.
4. Order our wedding bands (this one is getting close, eek!)
5. I need to print out maps for the invitations, they are all here so I just need to assemble the invitations as well
6. Finish throw cones for ceremony, I am hoping Jason's mom might be able to help when we go to Lubbock for Christmas.

That is it!! Not so bad, we will see how much progress is made over the holidays. In theory, I think, sure I will have tons of time and work on all these projects. The reality, not so much.

Happy Holidays!

Photo time...

We had our engagement session a few weeks ago with our wonderful photographer, Nessa Kessinger. We chose Mandola’s Estate Vineyard for our location, mainly because this is a special place to us and we had wanted to originally get married here. The buildings are in Tuscan style with pretty gardens.


Nessa also found a barn on the property with lots of live oaks and open fields around it. This was a great location because with the sun setting, it made for some really beautiful, golden light. Here is a sneak peak of a few of the photos.



We were both kind of on the fence about getting engagement pictures taken. I am glad we did it though. We were both totally awkward in the beginning but were able to get used to being photographed. Also, I think I will be able to make a really beautiful guestbook with the photos.
